Heather
We had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage. The beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and we especially loved the outside area with the hot tub. The host was very helpful and we really appreciated the welcome package. Thank you!
Absolutely 10 out of 10 for everything, I had never done anything like this before and was very dubious about booking it all myself online and trusting photos but I have got to say that the place was actually better than it appeared if that was possible. We had a great stay and will definitely be going back next year but for longer.. THANKYOU
Natalie and Ben were amazing hosts we had a few issues early on and they sorted out as soon as they could. Really lovely people. The place was amazing everything you needed was there and more. Beautifully decorated and accessorised. What would I change? Absolutely nothing
This was a really excellent base for touring cornwall. The barn was beautiful, extremely well equipped , spacious and clean. The owners have really given it homely touches. Great hot tub. Lovely welcome of goodies on arrival. We loved it here and would highly recommend it. We hope to return again. Thank you Natalie and Ben your barn is lovely!
Locating the property was easy with the instructions given. The property is very special, beautifully laid out. We would definitely stay again if visiting Cornwall. The layout inside is good for visitors with access issues, the enclosed garden great for dogs. The Lane is quiet enough for a daily dog walk. Bedrooms very comfortable, and plenty of comfortable seating. Very handy having TVs in every room. The owners were not intrusive but really helpful when asked. I found the location close to one of the main roads, handy for attractions and shops, pubs.
Denise
Lovely place to stay we all enjoyed our visit, We would recommend this to everyone it was Very clean well maintained and peaceful My only comment would be larger towels for larger people. Looking forward to visiting again next year.
Fabulous property and well maintained.
Robert
This was a lovely clean, well maintained property. This property had everything you could ever possibly need and the owners extremely contactable if needed. The communication and instructions before arrival were excellent and this was an easy, hassle free stay based at a handy location to explore the county. The added touch of biscuits and cider on arrival was lovely too, and we will definitely be booking again.
