  The Smithy is a beautiful property in a great location call Feock which has great access by car to the far reaches of Cornwall and places we've never visited before. The property itself is easy to find and plenty of parking outside including a EV charging point which was extremely handy to charge my Volkswagen ID.7 overnight and prepared it for the next day adventures. The accommodation has everything you need including a full equipment kitchen and Neff appliances. As the nights were chilly during our stay the Hive controlled heating system was extremely useful and the wood burner was the icing on the cake. The Smithy is beautifully decorated and owner Marion's attention to details is amazing and it feels very homely. The bed was comfortable and firm and the duvet was like sleeping under a cloud. The sauna is brilliant and perfect after a long day. Bathrobes and slippers provided added to the boutique luxury feeling. Behind the property is a field and then unadulterated views of the rolling countryside and as there is little light pollution the night sky is so beautiful to see. Marion was always on hand during our stay by phone/text and you could tell that she's really cares about The Smithy and the guests experience. I highly recommend staying and will be returning as we loved it so much.

  The most stunning views of Looe we could possibly wish for.. We loved being able to sit in the bay window looking out over the harbour in the evenings. The living room is spacious with lovely comfortable sofas and seats. Kitchen was well equiped. Master bedroom is a nice size and again, stunning views. The second bedroom smaller but was big enough for two Teenagers with the twin beds. There is a little table and chairs at the front where you can also sit out and enjoy the stunning views. It's a climb from the harbour to the property with a lot of stairs. The write up clearly says this but don't underestimate it..It would not put us off hiring again. Parking , there is a garage - I got my Jaguar XF in and me out of it. You need to be a confident driver . We had some plans to go out and visit places but there was so much to see in and around Looe that we only left once for the week. Overall. A fantastic location with awesome views and lots to see, do and eat around Looe

  The Old Piggery is a beautiful, clean, well-provisioned cottage located in the middle of a small working farm. The facilities, including EV charging met our needs perfectly, and the dog field, a short walk up the drive was a good option for private exercise and to view the heavenly views of the surrounding countryside. Being in the middle of the countryside, there isn’t a lot to do in the immediate vicinity, but it’s great base for chilling or for exploring Somerset, Dorset, the Jurassic and even North Cornwall coasts. After a day out, it was always lovely to sit on the private patio and watch the sheep in the fields. Austin, Kim and the girls are friendly, generous hosts, who balanced welcoming us and going about their business in the right proportions. We had a wonderful stay and The Old Piggery; we highly recommend it, and will definitely return.

  Excellent holiday apartment, clean, bright and fully equipped, they have thought of everything.

  We struggled a bit with the night storage heaters (instructions would have been helpful) but supplementary heating was available. Private parking is at a premium in St Mawes so it was great that this apartment had a private space right outside, albeit small and awkward - a Chelsea tractor wouldn't stand a chance. Having said that the Council car park is adjacent and charges not unreasonable (think it was £30 per week). The apartment is very central, once parked there is no need for a car as everything is within strolling distance. The bus to Truro starts from the Council car park. We recommend taking the bus to St Just where there is a beautiful church and gardens (and tea shop) and walking the coastal path back. Perefct. Lamorran Gardens are well worth a visit too.

  What a beautiful place! We had a two week stay at The Old Piggery, whilst we were waiting to complete on our house purchase - we could not have chosen a better place to stay! Despite our stay not being a holiday as such, we all felt beyond relaxed and had the most wonderful experience of life on the farm! The hosts, Austin and Kim, along with their daughters, could not have been any more accommodating and welcoming. Meeting the animals was an absolute highlight and our two dogs thoroughly enjoyed the on-site dog park. The accommodation was clean, well equipped and spacious, whilst having a lovely homely feel, with the most stunning views of the Somerset countryside. Whilst only being 10 minutes from home, we would most definitely stay again!
