We stayed for short break at Christmas. Everything we needed, the kitchen was well perfect, and felt so homely. Lovely touches, mince pies left, stock of wood for fire, waste bags, salt pepper, milk... Just the little things. Truly happy, and now relaxed after lovely break. Only thing , we didn't want it to end... Thanks again

Lovely cottage

Nice little cottage located at a short driving distance from several touristic places. We enjoyed our stay and it is great if you travel with dogs. We missed a stair gate to make the place a bit safer for babies. Overall,a nice place I would recommend.

Lovely property in idyllic setting waking to sunshine and birdsong!

Great location as off the beaten track so quiet with no road noise and very convenient for lots of beaches around Padstow but also not far from Fowey, Polperro and Looe. This is on a working farm so expect the sound of sheep and tractors and enjoy the beautiful countryside.

The property was in the middle of farm. Nice property. The owner gave us all the information required before through message and route was also mentioned so precise. Without that it would have been difficult to spot the location. The approach from main road to the property which was a stretch of 2 miles is a single car passage, this alone was tricky but the rest of the stay was amazing.

All the bedding and towels felt damp and musty on arrival which made all of our luggage and cloths smell for the entire holiday.We couldn't get to see the lake as we weren't aloud to walk through the farm to access it.Such a shame as the location was amazing for touring Cornwall

Beautiful Surroundings and Great Location

The farmhouse was ideal. The people on the farm itself were very friendly. Our dog got on very well with the farm dogs. He had a great time playing with them and exhausted himself! It took us a while to get used to the narrow lanes! All in all a great holiday.

So Relaxing

We had an amazing time. We had a couple of dilemmas which threatened our entire trip, but the owner and the farm owners were more than happy to help us with which we were so grateful for. You are never more than 30 mins from any beach or activity worth doing. Was so nice to go to sleep listening to the owls and waking up to the cows.

We have just spent May bank holiday at Grooms cottage-wow what a place. We took our two dogs with us. One is just 14 weeks old, we needed the break after breeding puppies earlier this year.The cottage was safe and secure, just like it said.The property is set in a rural location however you are just a 30 minute… give or take a few drive away from main attractions.This was more beautiful, relaxing than we could have imagined.We hope they will allow us back.Thank you so much, just what we needed.

Bathroom is not really a bathroom. Owner calls it wet room. Basically shower, toilet and sink all in one. When taking a shower the whole floor gets wet. Sitting on toilet your face touches shower curtain. Mold growing on kitchen walls. Small size but ok. It definitely is in a rural area. A little scary driving.

The cottage was really lovely, and a wonderful place to stay. We would highly recommend it. We loved being on the farm and my children loved the animals, especially the dogs and horses that would come to say hello. We loved the open plan cottage. The only thing I would mention is that I am not a confident hill driver - coming from Essex - and while I was aware of the steep road from Withiel, I wasn't aware of just how steep and single track it was. However, we found other roads to come in on and leave on and it was absolutely fine, even though it took a little bit longer.

Properly relaxing break with the dogs

What a lovely, peaceful, relaxing place. This was a perfect break for us - the kids loved being on a farm, meeting the horses and watching out for wildlife, and we loved standing on the balcony looking out at the lush view. But most importantly it was somewhere we genuinely relaxed with the dogs, possibly for the first time on a holiday, so that made it for us. We’re always concerned our two setters will find a gap in the garden fence, and our day trip options are limited, particularly with our nervous dog. But it’s clear that dogs are more than welcome - with the exercise field, the kennels, and a relaxed attitude to them being in the house - so we we’ll most definitely be back! Thanks so much for everything Caroline :-)
