Excellent and spacious 2 bedroom/2 bathroom cottage on a farm - bagged treats for the animals if you want to feed them! Comfortable beds, good wifi and full set of kitchen equipment make it an easy stay. Quiet area but less than 10 minutes to the main roads in each direction. Convenient and reasonably priced EV charging.

This property is situated in an isolated peaceful environment. we enjoyed sitting out in the evening watching the young swifts and swallows practicing aerobatics. The cottage was neat tidy and easy to keep clean . The hosts introduced themselves and were there if needed but were not intrusive.luxury to have two bathrooms in this size property, it was very useful.there are no shops close to the village but Wadebridge proved the best for supermarket. You would need to travel for a pub meal, restaurant, or drinks .Easy to self cater in the property. The property was family friendly with games available, safety gates at top and bottom of stairs. The wood burner may need a guard if it was winter time.

Fantastic Country Retreat!

I booked this property on behalf of my parents for an Easter weekend away. Accommodation was spotless, warm and well-equipped. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming as were the furry friends in the barn! Overall, we had a fantastic time and hope to return soon!

Beautiful cottage in family farm

We loved our stay at this beautiful cottage. The owners have done a great job restoring this property. It is very well equipped and it has very comfortable beds. The property is a lovely holiday letting to spend few days with the family. A quite place where you can only hear the birds. We have grown up kids but it is perfect for small children who would love the animals in the farm.

A perfect cottage to wind down and explore Cornwall

We had an amazing time in the Cottage. On arrival we enjoyed the very tasteful, homemade scones. The landlords are very friendly and easy to communicate with. The kids loved the animal feeding. The animal food was provided in a sweet organized bags from the landlady. It is definitely a place that we can highly recommend!

Lovely cottage in easy reach of everywhere

Great cottage in a very rural and quiet location. Hosts onsite and ready and willing to help. 100% need a car and be confident driving Cornish lanes (think grass down the middle and good reversing skills!) This is the 2nd time we have stayed and its so convenient for the areas of Cornwall we love and so nice to come home to a warm and comfortable cottage.

Cornwall holiday

Lovely place to stay for a relaxed Cornwall holiday in the east of Cornwall around Bodmin. Description fits 100%. Need some minutes to the supermarkets in Bodmin or Waybridge. It was lovely to get some fresh scones, clotted cream and jam on arrival. Always worth coming back again.

It was a very lovely location, well-situated for visiting various places in the county. Charles was very welcoming and friendly, and the freshly made scones from Charmion were lovely! My child loved feeding the animals.We liked the cottage and felt at home very quickly. It was well-furnished and we were grateful for the "starter" items supplied in the fridge.We only had a few (minor) gripes. The first concerned the bathroom basin taps: because they are not mixer taps, it meant handling very cold and scaldingly hot water simultaneously. My child decided to use only the cold water tap, as it was too difficult for them.The second very minor point was that a few more shelves in the bathroom and bedroom would have been very handy. The wardrobe does not have many shelves, so unless you already have hangers in your suitcase, it will be difficult to place many items in the wardrobe.But, overall, these were minor points and we had an unforgettable stay. :)

A Wonderful week with Friends away

This is the first time we have used Vrbo and I was very pleased to see how easy it was. On this occasion I can say it was exactly as advertised. It was very clean, just as the photos show a beautiful cottage. The owners were on site if needed but left you in peace, just checking all was ok when you arrived. The welcome cream tea was lovely to find waiting on the side. It was nice to see the Donkeys and Goats and even feed them. The cottage was in a good position to visit most attractions about 25 mins from the coast either way. Thank you very much to the hosts Charmion and Charles for a wonderful week and we would defiantly Recommend you try this for your self. We may even revisit.

Peace and Tranquility

A fabulous place to stay out in the countryside. We based ourselves here and all villages in Cornwall are a drivable distance. It was perfect for our Port Isaac visit as we are huge Doc Martin fans. Charmion the owner was available 24/7 to answer any questions and make suggestions. She makes the best Scones in England! The house was spotless, very roomy, (bigger than we thought from the photos) and has everything we needed. We would highly recommend staying here.
