The Old Paddock Reviews

Stacey
Wow what a beautiful house to stay at. The moment we pulled up in the drive we fell in love. The little touches added that bit extra too. Holiday cottages are our go to people for all our stay-cations and although we have never been disappointed this house has topped it for us and we 100% will be rebooking for another Xmas here. The house was perfeRead morectly clean and we needed some support during our stay and the response we had was second to none. 100% recommend to all families/couples. Hide
Stav
First impressions, wow. The robes and chocolate for each guest was a nice touch. However, the house needs a deep clean to remove all the spiders and cob webs. The broken Items outside and inside the house should be pointed.
Sharon
A lovely well equipped house with everything you need. Robes in bedroom and welcome food gifts are a lovely touch. Hot tub is perfect. Would love to come and stay again. The only thing we needed was a few extra bin liners to make sure everything, including recycling, is bagged up correctly for the bins to be emptied (by hand and not the usual refusRead moree way) which is understandable due to location!SELECTED!. !ENDOFSELECTED!

Beverley
A beautiful home from home. Well equipped for our family of 7 adults and 2 dogs. Good quality furniture and beds and bedding was lovely. Property is very private and has good parking space. Bring your own consumables, we had some to start us off like washing up liquid etc but if you want to use the washing machine I would recommend you bring tabletRead mores with you. Wasnt a problem as you can buy at the supermarkets in Bude. Property is centrally located for access to many tourist attractions. Hide
Anne
We all loved the space in the cottage. The dog loved the garden it was secure enough for him to run around. The location was very quiet which we like and the neighbours were lovely the only thing was there was no shop near but I believe this will be available very soon.

Superb modern property with great attention to detail. Lovely village location.

wonderfully appointed house, wonderful location, peaceful and close enough to main attractions we had marked for visits. highly recommended
Glenis
We loved the property and location. The hot tub was a great addition and the whole family enjoyed it. We all had a great holiday and I think if the WiFi problem could be sorted we would definitely return. At the time of booking, I was informed that BT would be installing WiFi with works due to be finished by end of May, so assumed we would have con nection for latter part of holiday but there was no sign of any works being carried out.
Mark
