What our customers say about their holidays

  The cottage is comfortable, clean and well-equipped; there was always lots of very hot water and the shower ran consistently.

  The fridge is very small and we couldn’t fit everything in that we wanted to. The small lounge is cosy and soon warms up with the electric fire. The sofa and armchairs are comfortable and better than those we find in many rental properties. The bed is comfortable and we slept well. It was good to have a CD player as we didn’t want to watch TV all the time. The Wifi signal was very weak and inconsistent such that the connection was often dropped, though this was less of a problem in the bedroom. However, the data speed was reasonable. The cream tea on arrival was much appreciated and the jam was delicious. The location is delightful and peaceful and the garden with its huge pond is beautiful and a lovely place to sit when the weather is nice, which it was most of the time. Access from the nearby A30 is quick and, although the last half mile is a single track lane with only one passing place, we only once encountered another car. Arriving on the A30 from the east necessitates a right turn across the busy dual carriageway and similarly if one wants to travel west after leaving the property; the road is often very busy and we had to wait several minutes for a gap in the traffic on some occasions. We had an excellent lunch at the Eliot Arms in Tregadillett and a good value steak dinner at the Archer Arms in Lewannick, to which we walked despite the long 1 in 7 hill (total walking time about 30 minutes). Tuesday is their steak night and, although it was quiet, we were told it’s advisable to book. There are plenty of nice places to visit by car and the Cheesewring, easily accessed from Minions on the east flank of Bodmin Moor, is a remarkable geological feature worth seeing. We had an excellent week with good, dry weather and loved the practical but peaceful location.

  A perfect stay!

  This holiday cottage is fantastic. Everything is finished to a very high standard and is extremely comfortable, along with being very accommodating to both us and our four legged friends. The owners, Brian and Sarah, were fantastic and always on hand if we had any questions or needed recommendations of local places to visit. The cottage is really well situated to be within driving distance of many local attractions, but is also in a lovely quiet and secluded farm setting giving the best of both worlds. There is a Tesco superstore and petrol station a convenient 15 minute drive away, if you happen to like to cook meals at the cottage - which the kitchen was very well equipped for. Tea, coffee, sugar and milk were provided on arrival, and if staying with dogs, water bowls, a few dog treats and even a dog bed for use during your stay. The courtyard area outside the property is ideal for dogs as it is enclosed, but also a nice little sun trap should you choose to sit outside and enjoy a beverage or two on a sunny day. A dog waste bin is also provided making tidying up after yourself nice and easy. The internet connection was always speedy and reliable, so is ideal for those who may need to do a little work etc whilst away. All in all we had a fantastic time here and would happily stay again! Highly recommended! Thank you for a great stay Brian and Sarah

  Had a fantastic stay as a family of 2 adults and a 6 year old, in one of the 3 holiday cottages at this location.

  The owners were very welcoming, recommended places to eat and visit. The location was secluded but on the doorstep of good, fast road links. The setting of the shared garden was tranquil with big fish pond and fruit trees, and we felt safe leaving our child to play with other children who happened to stay in the adjacent cottage. Lots of toys for the kids, sandpit and gorgeous Wendy house. The parking right outside was a godsend. The cottage was quiet at night and the beds were comfy. The shower was powerful and hot water was never a problem. The kitchen was extremely clean (like new) and well equipped with items you don't usually get for a holiday rental e.g pizza cutter, knife selection, foil, pegs. The fridge and freezer were big enough for what we bought. We managed to get WiFi strong enough for streaming services. It was a nice touch having the shared utility room with board games, body board, wind breakers available to borrow. We visited both north and south coastlines and it was a handy location for both. Thank you so much. We can't wait to stay again!

  Beautiful cottage in a peaceful setting.

  The Granary has everything you could need for cottage holiday with plenty of kitchen pots/pans/utensils etc and there was shortbread biscuits, tea & coffee waiting for us on arrival along with essentials like soap & toilet rolls in the bathrooms. Ideally situated for visiting North Cornwall and Devon. Plenty of places within easy reach including Newquay, Padstow, Bude, Tintagel, Boscastle. My daughter even had her 1st surf lesson at Newquay. Several National Trust places nearby, would highly recommend a trip to Lanhydrock. Carnglaze Caverns is a good wet weather option and if you like puzzles then definitely worth a visit to Hidden Valley Discovery Park which is just a few minutes drive. We met wild ponies when driving over Bodmin Moor which were very inquisitive and friendly, not very wild! There’s a lovely walk down the footpath outside the cottage, across the stream and back round via the road. We had such a wonderful week and would highly recommend The Granary for anyone looking for a place to stay. Brian & Sarah were very friendly and helpful.

  We have been holidaying in Cornwall for years and this was by far the best accommodation we have stayed in.

  I suffer from chronic pain and arthritis and this is the first time that I have been able to be comfy and relax after a busy day out. The place is spotless and furnished to a high standard with a strong internet signal. Brian and Sarah have really put their heart into this for their guests ensuring that comfort is a priority. They are lovely, welcoming hosts and very helpful pointing out areas for us to visit. The courtyard is beautiful and completely safe for dogs and our 2 loved it, especially exploring up and down the lane outside. Their 2 dogs are so friendly and the added bonus was getting to meet and stroke their horses. This is an exceptional place to stay and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Kerry, Steve, Jaz & Alfie x
