emma

We had a great holiday. House was well equipped, , very clean and worked well for our group.It's a listed building so can feel a little draftee but the wood burner helped a lot! If there are more than 8 of you then it's worth bearing in mind that there is a room off the shared bathroom There is a bathroom downstairs but not so accessible if the dog is sleeping in the link room to get to it! Snooker and air hockey table were well used as well as the jacuzzi. Our dog loved the garden!

Daryll

Great place to stay for a large family or group, good size bedrooms, the games room was a massive hit with the kids during our stay and the welcome basket was a lovely touch. Would definitely consider staying again, unfortunately the wrong time of year for making the most of the outdoor space

Wonderful House to stay - so spacious inside and out ! We shall miss the zapping of the flies - it sounded like an Ennio Morricone Spahgetti Western Film soundtrack !

Dan

Fantastic place to stay, within 10/15 minutes of local amenities such as different beaches, shops, restaurants and pubs. Lovely grounds of the home with games for kids and the hot tub was maintained daily.

10 of us and a dog stayed for a week and everything was there that we needed. Brilliant peaceful location with its large garden was ideal. Easy distance to beaches and places to visit. Could not fault it

This property is one of the best ones we have stayed in over the past 40 years, clean & comfortable, the hot tub went down very well

Lauren

A beautiful stay! Myself and 9 friends had a great time celebrating my Birthday. Hot tub is fab, warm all day, refilled and treated every day by the host. Farm next door was fun to watch, if a little noisy sometimes in the day, smells pretty strong, but we're from the countryside anyway so didn't mind! We didn't disturb them (hopefully) and they di dn't disturb us. Very private place. Be careful of pot holes on the access road! I bust a tyre. Amazing historical building. Nice friendly host.

Amanda

Lovely place, spacious yet homely. Kitchen well stocked and owner is extremely friendly.

Deborah

We absolutely loved staying at Penwenham. Its a large property with rooms a plenty but it was also so very homely and comfortable. The welcome gifts for us and the dogs were very thoughtful and greatly enjoyed. Great location and easy to find, had a lovely meal at The Napoleon Inn in Boscastle, but other than that we just enjoyed each others compan y and chilled out together in this lovely property after a difficult 2 years of separation and Covid. A Perfect Weekend in a Perfect Property.

Sue

I booked this holiday home for a family celebration, oldest 70, youngest 8. It was perfect, something for all ages, spotlessly clean, well equipped, and in a lovely location. The owners even let the children visit the animals on their farm. We made wonderful memories, I'd highly recommend it to any one.

What an amazing house which despite losing several tiles during storm Arwen my family enjoyed a memorable couple of nights.

Highly recommended
