The cottage's charm, including a four-poster bed and tasteful furnishings, adds to the positive experience, despite some minor maintenance issues.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage is consistently described as very clean by guests, indicating high standards of cleanliness throughout the property.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and tranquility, central to Cornwall and ideal for exploring the county. However, some guests noted the property is off the beaten track and can be challenging to find.
The property is generally found to be comfortable, with ample space and a peaceful environment. Some guests mentioned creaky floorboards and lumpy mattresses, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are good, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and the provision of towels and bedding. However, there are several comments about issues with the showers and mattresses that suggest some maintenance is required.
While guests have mentioned tea and coffee on arrival, there is not enough consistent information about additional thoughtful touches or gifts to accurately score this category.

Getting to the property was a nightmare.In the middle of nowhere and the track to get to the property was overgrown and if you met another vehicle there was know room to pass so you would have to reverse about a mile.

Double bed very comfortable. Wendy was attentive and approachable. Plenty of Wildlife around the cottage with CWT largest reserve down the lane. There are plans for beavers (they may already be there) in the future. There was a problem with the shower. Reported this to owner and they promptly worked to sort the problem. This took a couple of days, but we were kept informed. Excellent service. We hope to visit again in the future.

We were worried about the road up to the farm but our Honda jazz had no problem. In fact the road surface was better than most roads in Kent! An ideal location for visiting both north and south coasts of Devon. There was no direct access to Helman Tor from the farm but you will be impressed by the Tor if you visit.
