Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests have had mixed experiences with cleanliness. While some found the bedding clean and fresh, there were comments about grubby kitchenware. No persistent issues were noted, suggesting that cleanliness is generally maintained to a good standard.
The location is consistently praised for being quiet, peaceful, and ideal for exploring North Cornwall. Its proximity to local amenities and dog-friendly beaches adds to its appeal.
The cottage is described as comfortable, with a good shower, comfortable seating, and a relaxing garden. The open plan layout and the presence of a woodburner contribute to the overall comfort.
Facilities have received mixed reviews. While the AGA cooker was a highlight for some, others struggled with it not being hot enough. Issues with WiFi reliability and hot water were noted, but the presence of a good shower and comfortable bathroom facilities mitigates these concerns.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the owner, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness of the host in this regard.
About this property
St Kew Highway 0.6 miles. Perfectly located for touring North Cornwall and its wonderful coastline, this inviting semi-detached cottage is situated on a non-working farm, down a quiet lane, opposite the St Kew Golf Club, near the town of Wadebridge. You will feel the character of this lovely old cottage as soon as you arrive, with its beamed ceilings, exposed stonework and warming AGA. The two bedrooms are both on the first floor, consisting of a double and a twin, along with the bathroom, whilst on the ground floor is an open plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area and a sitting area. French doors from the living area open out onto a lawned garden, which is a great place for both children and pets to let off steam whilst you prepare a meal on the barbecue. A golfer's haven, with a course only a five-minute walk away from the cottage, there is also a pub within walking distance. The cottage owners have a farm shop and you can visit the working farm with horses, free range chickens and geese, to enjoy a true country lifestyle. This part of Cornwall boasts wonderful walking routes, as well as horse riding and cycling opportunities. Just three miles away is the town of Wadebridge, with its selection of individual shops and fine eating places, and also in the area are popular sandy beaches, along with the delightful villages of Boscastle and Tintagel.

The owner kindly provided kindling and logs for the woodburner. An ideal base for visiting the surrounding places of interest. Just one small observation rather than criticism, The cottage could do with its own vacuum cleaner. But we had a really relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable stay. Thank you... Pete & Rose and our 2 woofers.

It is such a beautiful place - the photos on the site don't really do justice to it. It is so secluded and private and perfectly positioned to take advantage of all that Cornwall has to offer. We had a lot of rain during our stay, but even the days when it was too heavy to venture out we didn't worry too much, as the peace and quiet of the cottage made those days so relaxing. Will definitly book again in the future!
