Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning its spotless condition upon arrival. This indicates a well-maintained property that guests find very satisfactory.
The location is consistently described as beautiful and peaceful, with easy access to local attractions and walks. The proximity to a dog-friendly pub and the scenic meadow are frequently appreciated, contributing to a high score.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, noting the quality of the beds and the spaciousness of the rooms. The peaceful environment contributes to a restful stay, although a few comments about the lighting and seating suggest slight room for improvement.
The cottage is well-equipped and maintained, with a few minor issues such as a broken washing machine and a lack of instructions for some appliances. These issues are exceptions rather than the rule, hence the score reflects a generally high standard.
While the reviews reflect positively on the owners' helpfulness and the provision of detailed information, there is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
About this property
One of the two Hybadore holiday cottages, Meadow cottage is a cleverly converted period stone barn in the charming and picturesque riverside village of Golant just 3 miles from the famous bustling yachting town of Fowey in this stunningly beautiful area of Cornwall. With a large enclosed garden complete with furniture and loungers and surrounded by many acres of private meadows to enjoy and picnic this really is the place for a relaxing holiday whatever time of year. Set over two floors, two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor along with the family bathroom and separate cloakroom. On the first floor is the third bedroom as well as the kitchen and the magnificent large living room with it's high apex beamed ceiling and comfortable sitting and dining areas. With many walks both through peaceful woodlands and of course the famous riverside walks as well as being so close to the Saints Way, the trail which links Fowey on the south coast to Padstow on the north, walkers are spoilt for choice here. For the more adventurous and for the best way to see the river and experience the amazing wildlife why not book a canoe or kayak trip from the village itself. Also in Golant the Fishermans Arms offers locally produced food and ales to enjoy whilst watching the boats go by. A wonderful cottage in a stunning location to be enjoyed all year round. Note: This property can be a let alongside ref 961598 and ref 963323- in total these properties can sleep 22.
A waterside village based on the river Fowey, Golant offers a Fishermans arms Pub, the Comorant Hotel and Restaurant and a retail art gallery. Inspired by many writers including the author of The Wind in the Willows, you can enjoy the river first hand by going on a kayaking trip. Fowey is a popular yachting village with a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants and can be found 3 miles from Golant.

Meadow cottage was well maintained with everything we could wish for ( except perhaps an extra tea towel as there was no dishwasher). Golant is a small village with an interesting history and welcoming locals. The Fisherman's Arms is still a proper pub with great local ales and friendly bar staff. Fantastic area for walks, easy drives to all the local attractions - eg Eden Project, Lost Garden of Heligan etc. There is also a good bus service to and from Fowey after a 3/4 mile walk to the bus stop.

Our dog loved the meadow just outside the front gate. We holiday in Cornwall every year, the first year with our dog, and we couldnât have chosen a better place to stay. Plenty of room for 4 adults and an 8yr old! Terry and Sarah Jayne were both friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend and have already told friends about Meadow Cottage!

Ideally located property in beautiful surroundings. Accommodation is spacious and has everything you need and accommodates all your needs. The views are great as the living accommodation is upstairs and benefits from the main bedroom downstairs as cooler with the lovely hot weather. Bed was really comfy. Great shower and bath to soak your muscles from walking. Additional separate toilet from main bathroom is ideal. Loved walking in the meadow opposite the enclosed garden and seating area. 10 minute walk to the estuary and the Fisherman's arms so great to have a meal and a pint without using the car. Fowey short drive away for lovely for places to eat, quirky shops and views. Terry and Sarah Jayne great hosts as well as mum (thanks for the mop bucket as bit of a clean freak) The only thing I can say to improve the experience would be an upgrade to the corner leather settee but functional. We would definitely stay again as so peaceful.
