Guests say
Guests generally appreciate the welcoming hosts, Chris and Theresa, and enjoy the peaceful location close to beaches and towns. The property offers a large garden, a swimming pool, and is considered dog-friendly. Some guests mention the property as clean and comfortable with a few thoughtful touches, while others suggest improvements in maintenance and cleanliness.
Most guests found the property clean and tidy, though there were a few concerns about dust, dirt, and a damp odour in some areas. These issues seem to be isolated rather than widespread.
The property is praised for its great location, offering tranquility and proximity to beaches, Bude, and both Devon and Cornwall attractions. It's described as an ideal base for exploring the area.
The accommodation is generally found to be comfortable, with a special mention of sumptuous bedding. However, some guests noted that the mattresses and shower could be improved for better comfort.
Facilities like the swimming pool are highly appreciated, especially by families. The garden is also well-received. Some guests, however, feel that the property could benefit from updates and better maintenance of certain amenities.
Several reviews mention welcome gifts and a starter pack, indicating a level of thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, guests should consider this a pleasant bonus rather than an expectation.

The pool was a fantastic bonus. Will certainly try and get back at some point. Teresa and Chris were lovely hosts.

The garden is excellent for the dog to exercise in and you have access to the pool at any time. The thing that will take this property to a 5 star rating is that it probably needs a refresh, with some of the walls equipment etc looking a little tired now; but saying that; at the price you pay you are getting a perfectly good accommodation so that never really bothered us.

Perfect for what we needed; with a large garden which our dog loved to play in. Lovely bed in main room; you can't be taller than 5ft 6in for the small beds, but for kids they were perfect. The swimming pool is a big plus albeit I would say that maybe some temp steps to get into the shallow end may be useful as I dont actually swim and getting in the deep end was a non starter.
