We really enjoyed our stay at the old cow barn. We were nice and private. The cottage is cozy and private with a secured garden that we could let 4 dogs out with the confidence they could roam in the garden and would not run off or be disturbed by people walking past. Some milk, biscuits, cheese, tea and coffee left for us which was very much appreRead moreciated.. Washing tabs were left as well which was very handy as it had been raining prior to our stay and there were muddy but enjoyable walks. Hide

Such a lovely cottage in a quiet location but 15 mins from Launceston and well suited for Tintagle, Boscastle, Bude, Padstow, Bodmin and Wade bridge. The hosts are excellent and the setting is gorgeous. They have thought of everything, even an amazing App which they send to you before your holiday with loads of information and helpful hints and tipRead mores. Just the place for a relax. Nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend! Hide

Quiet,peaceful lovely setting . Comfy bed. Lovely toiletries. Hot shower . Friendly owners who left us in peace. Internet very hit and miss due to location and no phone signal most of the time which if u want to shut yourself off from the world isn't a problem.

Property was ideal for us and our 2 dogs. Unfortunately, I hadn't printed out the information, and only had Postcode, which meant that it took us some time to find it. Location of sign? It was great having French windows/doors, which allowed a lot of light into the property, and gave us a lovely view. Having dogs, the wooden floor through out made Read moreit easier to keep clean. We appreciated the enclosed garden, which meant that the dogs could have some freedom, and we knew that they were safe. Hide

Follow the directions the owners give as the sat nav isn't accurate... the roads are very narrow! The garden enclosed and dog safe. The kitchen was fully fitted with every possible item needed to cook with, as well as having a tall fridge freezer, dish washer and washing machine. The owners left a welcome pack of milk, cheese and biscuits. The lounRead morege and bedroom were very comfortable The shower was hot and powerful, bit of a shame tray leaked, hope they can remedy this. Would definitely return. Hide
