    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Christopher - Verified booking

      Where do I begin?

      The place is amazing, Maureen is amazing, and it is very clear she adores dogs - our dog got the biggest welcome and was spoilt from the off with treats and toys. Each cottage has its own gate onto a large, shared field where you can walk your dog and play fetch - on our break, we had the field all to ourselves as none of our neighbours had a dog or at least, those that dig had other fields of their own. Considering pets are welcome the place is spotless. No dust, everything smelled lovely, fresh clean linen, perfectly clean bathroom and kitchen. Honestly, I cannot stress enough how clean the place was inside and out you'd have to see it to believe it. The attention to detail is fabulous too; a fire was already laid out in the hearth ready to light, we were welcomed with a cream tea and milk in the fridge. There were towels and dressing gowns available just for use with the hot tub. The hot tub itself was already nice and warm and we were given a lesson on its usage. The garden was lovely and peaceful. It catches the rays all day long too and there are sun lounges, tables and chairs a plenty to take advantage. For those who use it, the internet is fast; each cottage has its own Wi-Fi network, and it appears to use a microwave link back to the main house which has a near perfect performance. We happily stream 4K television while we were there, it never stuttered once. I did not test the latency, but I suspect it is low enough to game - not that I am suggesting you game while on holiday in Cornwall as there is plenty to do. If it helps, and for those who use it, the entrance is at; ///innovator.simulates.plug - I didn't see this on any of the sites - Google maps has the place listed correctly but for those who use alternative sat nav systems on their phones the above may help. Thank you Maureen for a superb visit. We hope to return one day.

    • Debbie - Verified booking

      My husband and I booked decided to book this cottage so that we could take our dog with us, and wow, we certainly didn't expect such a high standard in a pet friendly cottage.

      We were welcomed with open arms by Maureen who owns the cottages, she showed us around and then left us to it, she came to check the hot tub daily, however she is clever with her timings and we we really didn't see that much of her. We had a beautiful cream tea and other goodies and essentials left by her to welcome us. This lady has thought of everything in her cottages, and you would be hard pushed to find something she hasn't. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen, and every room follows suit. The sofas, the bed, towels and linens are all quality, and certainly not what we expected when bringing our dog with us. The garden is private with a beautiful hot tub and access to a field via a gate in the garden, which was perfect to take our boy for a run in, he had a fantastic time here, there were dog bowls, blankets, towels, treats and a box of toys for him to play with, when I say everything has been thought of, it truly has. Although there are other cottages on this property, you would not think this, you can spend all day in your garden and not hear a thing apart from birds singing, peaceful and relaxing were the words my husband and I used regularly. There are some beautiful beaches around that are dog friendly and Truro is only a short drive away, there are ample places to visit, and the information pack that is left for you to read allows you to see all the beaches in Cornwall and if they are dog friendly, how close the different shops are and other information to help you have a wonderful stay. Would we return for another holiday? absolutely, we didn't want to leave and return to reality.

    • Helen - Verified booking

      Had a wonderful week away over New Year despite the weather being dire.

      Be Our Guest is beautifully decorated and equipped and had everything we needed for us and our two little dogs. The garden is fully secure even for our tiny miniature dachshunds. We didn't use the dog walking field behind the cottage as unfortunately, our dogs are divas and don't do wet tummies. We didn't know how to access it, but Maureen soon showed us. We hadn't appreciated it was accessible from the garden. We only used the hot tub once as it was raining every other day, but it was lovely. The dogs loved the selection of toys Maureen had left but sadly they weren't able to eat the treats left for them as one of our dogs is on a special diet. Sofa is lovely and comfy as is the bed. We slept very well all week. Absolutely loved the bath! We had organised a food delivery which worked really well, they had no trouble finding the place. Only downside for us was we had got held up by traffic so we didn't arrive until after dark and got lost. Quick phone call to Maureen and she gave us directions. The outside light wasn't working either which made unpacking a challenge, but we didn't venture out after dark again so it wasn't an issue. We will return I am sure and hopefully in the better weather.

    • Rachel - Verified booking

      This property really has the wow factor when you walk in.

      The living space is vast and the kitchen is gorgeous and well equipped. So much thought into what is needed when you're on holiday. The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable. There are a few disappointments and I loved this cottage but parking is tricky and I knew this when I booked. Not much you can do about it which I understand. The email I received from the owner was really appreciated and they mentioned their housekeeper has very high standards but I can't agree with this. There was a big cobweb around the fire extinguisher in the kitchen- looked like it had been there a while too, also cobwebs in the bathroom. The microwave could of had a wipe over- removing the dust. The fruit bowl (ornament on the dining table) had a long curly hair in. The garden had a number of weeds which just need to be attended to. The clothes rail in the bedroom was dusty. The handsoap in the bathroom ran out on the 4th day which was a surprise when there was only 2 of us and we were out for most of the day. I know these things sound trivial but it does make a difference to your holiday experience. If the property owner isn't aware of the above issues then they can't rectify them for future guests.

    • Lorna - Verified booking

      We had a wonderful stay in Cornwall - the cottage was spotless/beautifully clean, comfortable, really well stocked and to a high spec.

      We had everything we needed for a week stay, plenty of room and Sam was a fantastic property owner. We received such a warm welcome to the property and felt we received brilliant helpful emails/information ahead of our stay. We felt very reassured with the cleanliness/high standards of protection re covid, thank you. There was plenty of space for two people + 1x dog - the dog had bowls, mat, blankets, towels, poo bags, beds etc provided too, which was very thoughtful. The log fire was great, heated floor brilliant and great shower/bathroom with washing machine facilities too. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend- we’d love to come back! We would advise travelling with a car so you can access towns across Cornwall. It’s central so can head north/south easily. There is no parking at the cottage but fairly accessible street parking nearby, it wasn’t ever a problem for us. The shop next door was extremely handy! Thank you for a fantastic honeymoon!
