Goose Cottage - within the Helland Barton Farm collection Reviews

Our stay at Goodes cottage was amazing the views are incredible the garden was private so was perfect for the hot tube which was amazing to have and seeing the donkeys in the field just made it even better . The cottage was beautifully done comfortable and well equipped it was just so peaceful we honestly loved it and was our best stay and cant wait to come back
Joanne
Goose cottage is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The view from the very secluded back garden was just stunning, lots of wildlife and we even had donkeys!! Everything was perfect I wouldnt have changed a thing. The only very minor thing was there was no where for you to put your tooth brush! A little cup on the side would fix this. The cottage is in a very good location for most things. We did venture into the village to use the spa shop for a few things as we had already booked for Tesco to come and drop the big shop off on arrival day. The village does have a fish and chip shop too which had great reviews but we didnt make use of it so cant comment. Take a walk to Delabole slate query which is only 20 mins away and makes a nice change. Overall fantastic stay and would definitely come back.
Richard
The cottage was beautiful. Really peaceful and well furnished. My only complaint is that we paid 250 for a swim spa but we received a hot tub instead with no prior notice and no mention of a refund. We will be asking for our money back on this aspect, however overall the cottage and holiday in general was lovely.
Stuart
Hi a few more oven trays would be very handy. The cooking knives are very blunt particularly the bread knives. A steamer would also be useful. Weve given the property 5 stars so I hope this feedback is seen as helpful.
Belinda
Wonderful stay. Facilities superb. Only downside is the horrible neighbour who told my disabled son that she was glad hed lost his little 8cm drone in her field and refused to let him retrieve it. I guess that this highlights a friction between visitors and unwelcoming locals.
We had a really lovely stay. It was quiet, well equipped and we couldn't fault it at all.
We found the property to be very well equipped and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only this we would suggest is the bathroom have shelving as we found we couldnt put our toiletries to hand when in the bath. But overall the property is very homely
Danielle
Lovely cottage in a lovely location, great views too. Lovely to welcome basket I now have a new addiction to kernows line and ginger chocolate!. Really enjoyed being here however for the price I would expect the shower drain not to be clogged to the extent that it was. It would not drain on use which would be obvious to anyone rinsing the shower when cleaning it which concerns me that it hasn't been cleaned well and when I took it out it was covered in hair suggesting it has not been cleaned in some time. Reported to the agents but not sorted during our stay. I addition the bath tap leaked causing it to drip over the bathroom floor which as a cold unventilated house didn't dry very easily without using the bathmat supplies which was then soggy throughout our stay. Again, reported to the agents but not sorted during our stay. Listing needs to he a bit clearer regarding fencing for garden as was not suitable for my dogs as it was open down to a brook on one side meaning I couldn't just let them out there off lead. It should also be made clearer on arrival that everything is switched off including the fridge a concept i totally understand but would not expect a fridge to be off. I had a food shop delivered on arrival and did not realise the fridge was not on. Thankfully a midnight snack made me realise but by this point it had ruined our freezer food.

The property is lovely, the facilities are excellent and the location was wonderful. A welcome basket was supplied containing some lovely treats which we were delighted with. My concern was the garden patio area which for adults and older children is lovely with uninterrupted countryside views that reach to the far horizon. But for dogs and probably small children, what the pictures don't show is a drainage ditch extending out from the patio area which is separated by a single wooden sleeper 1 ft high max which a dog could easily jump over or small child trip over. The wooden framed fence which extends across the majority of the garden is in need of some repair in places, the wire fencing fastened to it to keep pets secure was missing in one section nearest the fence and we had to improvise something to fill the gap as my dog was very interested in meeting the cows in the next field. With a few tweaks this could be a lovely pet safe area. Having said all of this we would definitely return.
Claire
Lovely clean modern comfortable cottage.
A wonderful, wellequipped and immaculately clean cottage in beautiful surroundings, which exceeded our expectations.
Goose cottage is a superb holiday property in a cluster of 4 properties all of which are adequately spaced without being over looked, the view from the property is far reaching and there is plenty of privacy on the outside of the cottage. It is located remotely next to a working farm. We were able to relax and enjoy our time. The weather was rubbish however due to the comfort that the property provides staying in on the odd day didnt prevent us from enjoying ourselves. The cleanliness and homely furnishing were second to none and it was well equipped. A really nice touch was the welcome pack of a bottle of bubbly and scented candle. Please sort out the description on your website regards bedding etc it doesnt mention that it is provided. Fantastic stay Thanks we will recommend to our friends and definitely book another stay.
It's a delightful cottage, a real home from home. Glorious extensive views towards st Austell. Very comfortable, and slept well. The double room has a king size bed, which felt luxurious. Good bedside reading lights a thoughtful touch. Plenty of hot water. Very quiet. And amazing wildlife including bats and three hedgehogs who explore the patio at night, and can be heard snuffling in the undergrowth. Overall Goose cottage was not just somewhere to stay, it made the holiday. Very helpful staff at John Bray Holidays felt like personal service. I would offer two small suggestions at this price point i would have expected top quality lined curtains in the living room which would have made the room feel cosier at night and brought together the colour scheme. The flimsy net curtains felt like an after thought. Better scatter cushions would have provided a colour focus. Also two floating shelves in the bathroom, one above the hand basin, and one above the bath would have been useful for holding bathroom products. The wooden 'over bath' contraption was a problem as it kept falling in the bath, while the lack of over storage over the hand basin meant things kept falling in. Overall rating excellent. We all agreed we'd like to live there!
Elaine
Goose cottage is a really lovely well equipped cottage. Really enjoyed our stay. My only issue was the front of the cottage which has a beautiful grassed area but unfortunately is not enclosed as the other cottages also have access so if you have dogs they can run off as so many fields accessible.
Probably the nicest cottage we have stayed in! Stunning view across the fields from the patio. Spotlessly clean, off the beaten track but easy access to lots of fabulous walks and beaches. Would love to stay here again.
Could do with some instructions for the use of cooker and microwave as unfamiliar with same, also could do with a rail on the left of stairs. otherwise it was very good
A really lovely cottage, in a gorgeous setting and with fantastic countryside views. Very spacious and tastefully decorated, and quite good value for money. The cottage has pretty much everything you need to make it a comfortable stay. There's enough parking for a couple of cars too. Owners were very nice and helpful too which makes a difference.
