Well equipped farmhouse and very comfortable even with 11 people across 3 family groups. Could do with some TLC and modernising but great value for money

Great property for our family Christmas celebrations. Lots of room for everyone and surprisingly warm throughout the house.

Lovely old farmhouse, great for a 3 generation get away. Could probably do with another toilet for 11 people but we managed for the week. Great cooking facilities and grandparents loved how warm the house was! Excellent location to explore Cornwall.

The farmhouse is very spacious with plenty of seating/dining areas. I was a bit confused about the bathrooms by the description but basically there is one main bathroom with toilet upstairs (shared), a separate WC downstairs and a separate shower room by the back door downstairs; the other WC is in the garage/games room which we didn’t use. We had some lovely weather and would have loved to have dined in the garden some days but there is no outside seating (although shown in photo), we improvised and sat either on the steps or pulled out a couple of deck chairs. The whole property needs a good clean and some TLC - but this added to the charm of it for us! Brilliant location, really close to the A30 so easy access to both north and south coasts - we love Cornwall and will definitely recommend this to our friends and family.

Great location and loads of space with all you need for a great vacation, only let down by poor cleanliness.

Overall we had a good stay here, but there were some negatives which is why we feel we unfortunately can't give the farmhouse higher than a 3 star review. Pros - the price is really good for the size of the farmhouse. There is lots of space for family members, a roomy yet cosy living room with plenty of comfortable seats, a good sized kitchen with plenty of hobs, crockery, cutlery and fridge/freezer space, and lots of lovely extras like board games and books. Also ample parking for 3 cars. Cons - the main one for us was cleanliness, which is a huge factor for many people at any time, but even more so during a pandemic. We found sweet wrappers and an empty bottle in the living room, lots of dead midges in the bath, but the worst room was the bunk bedroom. One of the duvets was stained and there were crisps in the beds and on the floor, plus a hard sweet lying on the rug which our toddler could easily have choked on if she picked it up. This room hadn't been hoovered, let alone cleaned, so we had to close it off for our stay. The games room was also very dusty and the tables were in much worse condition than shown in the photos, so we didn't bother using it during our stay (even though it had been one of our reasons for booking the farmhouse after a lot of family fun with the games room at a different property). Another issue was the very low ceiling height in parts of the farmhouse, particularly the door frames near the kitchen and utility room. We had two tall guests, one who hit his head very hard on a low doorframe. The low doorframes would affect anyone over 6 foot. When we told Bridget during our stay. she said that low ceilings are normal in an older property and she hadn't encountered any previous issues with them, but it would have been useful for us to know in advance about the ceiling heights (even one line on the property information page), and simple safety steps like a warning sign or hazard tape on/near these, and the concealed step from the dining room to the living room which is easy to trip over. We still had a good time overall, which is why the rating isn't lower, but it's a shame that small steps weren't taken that would have made this a 4 or 5 star stay.

We enjoyed our stay at the property. It has everything you need for a self catering break. The kitchen is well equipped but could do with a few more wine/flute glasses. The property gives options for seating and different areas for different age groups. The bedrooms are a little basic and the beds don’t have headboards, but the rooms are perfectly useable and the upstairs bathroom is good. A great supply of wet suits and beach stuff in the games room along with surfboards and other bits and pieces. It has a Family farmhouse feel about the place. It would be worth checking the check in time as due to Covid the cleaning times have extended and we could not get in until 5pm. To be fair to the owner she was not aware of the change at the timing by the cleaners. We just went to the pub for a bit so it wasn’t really a hardship!

Really enjoyed this spacious property. For the whole family (Ages 5 to 93) !! Loved the character of this house and the memories that could easily be made :)
