  Had a wonderful time at Groom cottage.

  It’s a very cute cottage within a complex of cottages. It has all you need and was really well equipped. Susan the owner was lovely, the only problem we had was a broken clothes airer which she replaced immediately. She also provided us with beach chairs and a windbreaker which was fab! The shared pool was brilliant, we used every day, the kids play area was popular with my eldest, but good to know you cannot see the play area from Groom Cottage. The local area is lovely would particularly recommend sandymouth beach ant Tintagel Castle. The cottage is small, the bedrooms are a decent size but living space is small so was a bit of a squeeze for 4 of us. The outside space is very cute with 2 small courtyard style gardens and a front patio. The courtyard gardens are filled with plants and very private which is nice. The front patio is more spacious and less private. The one and only thing I would change would be to add black out roller blinds to the upstairs bedroom windows so you have the option to use them. The south facing light comes in very early in summer, for a lot or people this is no problem but if like me I get woken up by light very easily. But that is the only thing. We had a wonderful stay and we were blessed with amazing weather. Would recommend.

  On the surface the cottage was as advertised.

  But when we stepped inside to a cold cottage we were disappointed, that knowing our arrival time 4pm, the owners had not thought to put the electric heating on for us. To then read in book that we could NOT alter the heating settings, instead have to light the Wood burner to keep warm we were not happy . I have Asthma, so having had conversations with you about the Duck feather duvet, which you had resolved, did not want to light a fire. On the Sunday after 2 cold nights my husband contacted Louise and she allowed us to alter Heating times. The fact that both radiators were behind furniture, which we pulled out had not helped. Storage of our food was in 2 small baskets in the unit , not adequate. maybe a cupboard instead of a picture above would be better. The heated Towel rail wasn't on and we were told by Louise the switch was on the other side of the panel. These things could all have been written down somewhere. The travel instructions were inadequate and only applied if we had come over The Tamar Bridge, we hadn't.

  We loved staying at Polly’s Bower.

  It was clean, well equipped and comfortable, and in a beautiful spot. It is very well appointed with a really sympathetic renovation of an old barn and very nicely fitted out. Our cat settled really well, which is quite an achievement! Glorious views, with outside benches and table for when the weather allows, looking out over orchards and fields. Delicious Cornish cream tea provided for arrival, plus other local goodies, and a pint of milk. All you could want, and more, from a holiday cottage. The lovely Tamar Valley is on the doorstep, and easy access to north and south coasts. Tavistock is a really nice market town to explore, and Plymouth is nearby. National Trust Cotehele is really worth a visit. We would love to return. Thank you !

  Groom Cottage is a delightful and charming old farm cottage.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here even though the weather was quite dismal . The facilities were kept meticulously clean - including use of the shared, heated pool and it’s changing rooms , children’s playground and use of the shared playroom. The kitchen was well equipped in this characterful cottage . The beds were comfortable and the pretty sunroom was a lovely room to eat in. We enjoyed our visit to Bude and would recommend the Preston’s Arms in the very attractive ancient village of Poughill less than half a mile away. We would love to return for another holiday , thank you

  Beautiful cottage approached by narrow lanes in the heart of the peaceful countryside.

  Our Labrador enjoyed playing in the big secure garden. Lots of outside seating in sun or shade. Very nice interior with comfortable sofa and bed. All the crockery and pots and pans you could need. We only ate out once - we used the nearby Waitrose and got some meal deals and cooked in the cottage - Glass of wine watching the wonderful sunset. Had a great week exploring the area. Our favourites were Looe and the Cheesewring walk. Only thing we weren’t keen on was (as others have mentioned) the lack of privacy in the bathroom. Other than that we highly recommend Pollys Bower.
