Mary
We had a lovely time everything was perfect easy reach to some lovely beaches ( about 40mins ) beautiful setting
Stephen
Lovely little cottage, very well equipped. An ideal base for touring South Cornwall. Having it's own parking space was a real bonus. The cottage garden/patio is wonderful and a bit of a sun trap. The owners provided a very informative folder about places to visit and things to do in the area. Excellent WiFi and smart TV in the bedroom was a bonus t oo.
Charlotte
We had a lovely stay at the cottage its very cosy and felt very relaxed.
Sheena
I cannot recommend this cottage enough. Beautiful inside and out with everything you need. Hot tub is small as only two person, but enough room. The garden is fully enclosed so great if you take your dog. The small welcome packs were a lovely gesture, even for the dog. Location wise, it was perfect and in easy reach of all beach locations. We found a beautiful little town just a few miles away called Fowey, managed to park by the Harbour, well worth a visit. Will definitely book again!
Jill
The Churns - When can we move in? We loved it!! The cottage had everything you could need. Dolly our dog even got doggy chocolate. Lovely Lanhydrock house & gardens are within walking distance, great for walking the dog. It's central for visiting places. We visited Port Isaac & Bude & enjoyed both.
Robert
Absolutely amazing cottage. It has everything you could possibly want and more. We only wish we had longer there. We would 100% recommend.
Penelope
Thank you we had a fabulous week . We especially chose the Churns as it looked so cosy and a perfect retreat for a getaway, where we were able to explore the beautiful surrounding area. The cottage is tucked away with a lovely secluded courtyard. The Churns was so well equipped with everything you could possibly need. There were also some fabulous walks right on the doorstep .
Richard
We had a lovely stay in this property. It had everything we needed and we quickly felt at home. The walk down the lane and on to the Lanhydrock estate was lovely, the Primroses and Daffodils were beautiful. We left our leaflet and map for future use.
Adrian

Jacqui
Great place to stay for a relaxing break. Really comfortable bed and general feel of luxury.
Mike
The property and information given was brilliant. Such a beautiful cottage. We stayed 3 days with our dog and had a wonderful stay. A short drive to many stunning locations nearby.
David
Great little bolt hole, on site parking, dog friendly, situated next to beautiful National Trust grounds. The property is exceptionally well kitted out with everything you could possibly need, clean & comfortable. The only problem was having to close the door for the last time & go home, needless to say we shall be returning. Thank you for a lovely break.
Emma
Lovely cosy cottage, spotlessly clean and lots of nice touches. Comfiest mattress I've ever slept on. would highly recommend.

Sally

Roger
We absolutely loved our holidays in here. The cottage and the garden is beautiful. Everything is well thought off. The place gave us feeling of being home away from home. We would not hesitate to recommend this charming cottage to anyone.
Stephanie
Arrived home yesterday from a wonderful week at the Churns. Accommodation was lovely, wonderfully equipped with all that you can want. Garden was beautiful with more than enough furniture for a couple, plus the wonderful hot tub, and a great sun trap. A great base for exploring but unfortunately we could not do too much, due to having a dog with an injured leg plus bit hot to explore with the dog too! Didn't spoil our holiday one bit though, great place to just relax or read a book or watch TV.
Anthony
A charming cottage for two people, a pretty courtyard garden, with all amenities including hot-tub. Compact inside, but very comfortable and well, if not over, equipped.
Nicola
We enjoyed a great week at The Churns with our dog. A beautifully furnished cottage in a lovely rural location and a fantastic base for exploring the whole of North Cornwall. Wonderfully equipped, impressive garden, a pleasure to return to after long days out. We hope to visit again!
Kathryn
Our stay at The Churns was perfect, the cottage and garden were beautifully kept, all mod cons that you could need, good parking, easy to find. All in all perfect we'd definitely recommend it and stay again.
Michael
Lovely cottage in a great location, owners very helpful
Garry
Wow was our first impression and wow was pretty much how it remained. Absolutely perfect, it had everything. From decor to location, we both wanted to move in.......what more can you say. I have to say we could of just stayed in the cottage all week given sunnier weather. Well done to the owners, we definitely have to come back.
Joseph
We had a very relaxing happy week in Cornwall with the Churn as our base. It is as lovely, cosy and convenient as it is advertised. Its decoration is of very good taste and the facilities provided are excellent.
Alysia
Lovely little cottage. Perfect for me and my labrador. The sofa and bed was very comfortable, the facilities were top notch in the kitchen with a wide range of equipment (not your usual blunt knives in a holiday cottage!). Everything was clean and cosy. Right on the doorstep is a lovely walk into a national park, really good location for travelling around Cornwall and exploring the beaches. Hosts were very attentive, replied to my emails promptly and provided a great home away from home.
