Squirrels Dray Reviews

Very lovely property exceeded our expectations.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay . The location was perfect with a short walk down to Gorran Haven. Having the campsite in close proximity allowed for decent food and drinks without going too far. The addition of dog blankets for the sofas and having access to laundry facilities again was a thoughtful touch. Our only tiny thought was as gates are open to car parks and garden it isnt enclosed at all times to let your four legged friends out without supervision. However this did not detract from our stay and we loved every minute . Well apart from the competitive games of monopoly We would definitely recommend it to family and friends and perhaps come again with them as the cottages together would be great for family reunions or gatherings with like minded friends . Thank you
Carole
Squirrels Dray is a lovely home from home cottage among a small group of cottages set around a lovely courtyard. The surroundings are quiet and out of the way, but only a short drive to Gorran Haven. The cottage has many extra features, such as BBQ's in the garden, lovely showers, comfortable beds and wellappointed kitchen. I would thoroughly recommend this property. If I have one tiny suggestion to make, it would be that the fridge is small for a 6 berth property. However, there is a massive freezer. Sandra, the owner, was very helpful and pleasant.
