Top notch peaceful stay.
Beautiful, well equipped cottage in a very peaceful location. It was a lovely touch to be left milk and a cream tea (scones, clotted cream & jam). Charles has just had an electric vehicle charger installed so it removed a tonne of stress for us to be able to charge my car whilst at the cottage. Overall, a fantastic stay. I cannot think of an area of improvement.

A beautifully converted barn in a very peaceful/private location. High quality comfortable bedding, an abundance of hot water, delicious home made scones with clotted cream on arrival. Friendly, welcoming hosts.

Lovely one bedroom barn conversion
We enjoyed staying at the property which was ideally placed for travel to both coasts in north Cornwall although the first few miles can be challenging if you're not used to narrow lanes/roads. Property itself was well maintained and well equipped for our needs and if we returned to this area of Cornwall we'd consider it again

Nice, relaxing cottage
Very clean, comfortable, well-equipped cottage, traditional style with mod cons. Loved Ponk and Donk and the goats. The cottage is well located for North and South touristy stuff but the very narrow lanes are not for the faint-hearted. The wifi is quite slow but it won't spoil your stay when you come back to your calm retreat for a nice cold one from the fridge !

Lovely break
Lovely stay in a beautiful peaceful location. Beautifully presented and well equipped property and a very informative and useful pack within the property from the owners. We used the property merely to sleep and a base to explore and for me the property offered excellent value for money and would absolutely stay here again! (My only suggestion would be to improve outdoor area and seating to better enjoy the location) Overall a lovely place to stay and would recommend. Thanks guys x

Lovely stay
Very clean, very quiet location. Wasn't too hard to find. Cottage was lovely. Scones on arrival were delicious, and had all the essentials left for us which was very handy. The WiFi wasn't the best and we had no phone signal but we worked around that. Would stay again.

Nicely finished rural retreat
We stayed during the hottest week of the year and it was warm! Nicely finished, most of what we needed, and comfortable bed. We downloaded films in anticipation of slower rural broadband but generally the internet wasn’t a problem for us. Plenty of space for parking, no garden but saw the families from the neighbouring two cottages using the barbecues, and the courtyard setting as peaceful.

Clean and Comfortable
Gorgeous house. Love the spacious ceiling upstairs and the window on the roof. Bathroom has a charming modern layout and the shower was lovely and hot. Kitchen had all the appliances needed to help make all sorts of delicious food. Being so far away from busy roads it was so strange but welcoming to hear nothing but the occasional owl or sheep. Wildlife population is high, particularly with Swallows soaring about in the sky. The managers allowed us to feed their animals which was amazing. Goats were my favourite. Only tiny criticism I have is the bed mattress was too hard but we still managed to get good night sleep after a few a while. Highly recommend this place.

Pekin Cottage is beautifully converted and we had a lovely stay. It is in deepest Cornwall with patchy wi-fi but that made it even more relaxing as we couldn't check our emails all the time!

Remote location
This really is a remote location, 5 miles to nearest shop/facilities in both directions. This wouldn't normally put us off as we are keen walkers, however the weather was not great so we had to drive most days. Roads are extremely narrow, single track in places, not good for any night driving.
