“Lovely cottage, rooms are well sized.”

Double room upstairs has the water heater in it so was quite warm, on hotter days a fan would be a useful addition. Opening the window lots of bugs came in, so an insect repellent would also be useful. Bathroom's x2 large and had good water pressure, take your own hand soap. Beds were comfortable, mattress in double upstairs was soft, lots of pillows, clean white bedding. Good amount of hanging space and clothes storage in all rooms.

Double room upstairs has the water heater in it so was quite warm, on hotter days a fan would be a useful addition. Opening the window lots of bugs came in, so an insect repellent would also be useful. Bathroom's x2 large and had good water pressure, take your own hand soap. Beds were comfortable, mattress in double upstairs was soft, lots of pillows, clean white bedding. Good amount of hanging space and clothes storage in all rooms. Decking area out the back with seating & lovely views of countryside and one of the fishing lakes. The clubhouse was nice, with a good menu, lots of choice. The food was very tasty and good sized portions. The clubhouse and shop were not always open. Really nice children's play area and access to animal pens. Local area has 2 pubs that serve food within a reasonable distance. The Bickford arms, typical pub grub, nothing fancy. The Black River Inn, Cornish Tapas, delicious food, upper price point but definitely worth a visit. We will definitely stay again.

“The place was beautiful, easy to find.”

We arrived later due to accident on the motorway, the reception was clearly signposted with a contact number attached to the window with a number to call within 2mins arrived with my key. Shop bar/restaurant had good chooses staff reasonable prices, all staff were so friendly. My 2 loved going to see the animals, & they are able to go in & strike them too. I loved sitting out on the veranda with a cuppa, enjoying the views & quietness.

“Really enjoyed our stay at the cottage.”

It was spacious and airy with 3 good sized bedrooms. It looked as it did in the advertised pictures. As it allows pets it did smell a bit of ‘dog’ at first but we got used to it. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. Nice touch with the scones and cream on arrival. We took our 5 year old granddaughter and she enjoyed seeing the animals and playing in the little playground on site. You do need a car to get about as it is remote.
