This was our third stay at Gumburnville in the last ten years and It did not disappoint! The cottage is lovely and was a good size for a family of four with teenagers and a large dog. The location is perfect for exploring north Cornwall and is in easy reach of padstow, Harlyn bay and upwards to Widemouth & Bude. Trebarwith Strand is the closest beach and is wonderful, great for surfing or boarding, exploring rock pools and has a great cafe for pasties & a pub overlooking the sea. We will definitely be back to stay in this cottage again.

A lovely little cottage in a quiet hamlet. Spotlessly clean with comfortable beds. We found it to be a great location for exploring Cornwall and coming back here after a day of sightseeing was like a home from home. Even the local rabbits paid us a visit in the mornings.

Lovely cottage with interesting history, excellent for exploring North Cornwall. Spacious property with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, but attic bedroom has severely sloping ceilings so getting in and out of bed difficult. Fabulous bathroom but showering sent water across the floor, despite screen. Well equipped kitchen and utility room, with extra toilet! Pretty garden, enclosed for our dog. Parking close but only for 1 car.
