We had a fabulous weekend away with the dogs at this beautiful house.. It was very well equipped, from shopping bags to use for the supermarket to a spare dog water bowl if you had forgotten and everything in between. It's been decorated to a very high standard and was very comfortable. It's in a great location, lovely and quiet and beautiful views from the garden and the local pub was very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

Our only issue was that we arrived at 3pm and the cleaning was still being carried out, we had to wait 10 minutes before they were complete.. Black rubbish bags were left outside the property for the whole duration of our stay.

An amazing cottage in the middle of nowhere! !! Fantastic pub and little convenience store a mile or so up the rd. everyone in the pub very welcoming and friendly. The cottage is dog friendly although you cannot let them straight out into the garden from the house. You need to walk them in on a lead ( mine is a pup so older dogs may be fine) Also be aware there are sheep in the field next door which is so lovely but there is only a wire fence between us which Hazel (my pup) could get under so had to be on a lead in the garden. Shower is a Little temperamental!!! All this said, we had a beautiful week, we had amazing weather for February. Beautiful widemouth beach is dog friendly with a lovely cafe. Port Isaac and Boscastle are a must to visit. All in all a lovely place. Perfect cottage.

A beautiful and comfortable cottage, well equipped and maintained to a high standard.. Scrupulously clean and the perfect base for exploring North Cornwall and Devon. Tranquil surroundings but still close enough to civilization to meet your practical needs. A great holiday home for humans and hounds alike. This little beaut is highly recommended

A very comfortable, peaceful stable with everything we needed for a relaxing week away.. A great spot to explore Cornwall with a fantastic country pub a short walk away.

Sykes were very helpful when there was an issue.. The gravel is too deep on the driveway some drivers won’t be able to get onto it. The garden is totally waterlogged, making it mostly unusable, don’t know if a channel could be dug? I had to pick up quite a lot of other people’s Dog’s poo! Tin opener doesn’t work well! Lovely cottage, great location.
