Tranquil

We have just spent May bank holiday at Grooms cottage-wow what a place. We took our two dogs with us. One is just 14 weeks old, we needed the break after breeding puppies earlier this year.The cottage was safe and secure, just like it said.The property is set in a rural location however you are just a 30 minute… give or take a few drive away from main attractions.This was more beautiful, relaxing than we could have imagined.We hope they will allow us back.Thank you so much, just what we needed.

Lovely cottage

Nice little cottage located at a short driving distance from several touristic places. We enjoyed our stay and it is great if you travel with dogs. We missed a stair gate to make the place a bit safer for babies. Overall,a nice place I would recommend.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Bathroom is not really a bathroom. Owner calls it wet room. Basically shower, toilet and sink all in one. When taking a shower the whole floor gets wet. Sitting on toilet your face touches shower curtain. Mold growing on kitchen walls. Small size but ok. It definitely is in a rural area. A little scary driving.

It was a peaceful stay, just what we needed quiet, it was nice to wake up to animals and our daughter really loved the sheep and ponies. Would love to go back in summer as they have very nice clean beaches.

Lovely property in idyllic setting waking to sunshine and birdsong!

Great location as off the beaten track so quiet with no road noise and very convenient for lots of beaches around Padstow but also not far from Fowey, Polperro and Looe. This is on a working farm so expect the sound of sheep and tractors and enjoy the beautiful countryside.

The experience was very nice. If you want some peace and quiet, a central location and you have a dog this is perfect. Driving can the narrow lanes in Cornwall can be an ordeal, suggest pip your horn on every bend.

Charming farm cottage

We had a lovely time. It is on a working farm so be prepared for smells and very narrow roads. We had several encounters with tractors on single lane tracks.

So Relaxing

We had an amazing time. We had a couple of dilemmas which threatened our entire trip, but the owner and the farm owners were more than happy to help us with which we were so grateful for. You are never more than 30 mins from any beach or activity worth doing. Was so nice to go to sleep listening to the owls and waking up to the cows.

This could be a lovely cottage if a bit more care & attention was put into it, no wardrobes, requires some maintenance & a good deep clean, no effort from the owners to even say hello

Beautiful Surroundings and Great Location

The farmhouse was ideal. The people on the farm itself were very friendly. Our dog got on very well with the farm dogs. He had a great time playing with them and exhausted himself! It took us a while to get used to the narrow lanes! All in all a great holiday.

The cottage was really lovely, and a wonderful place to stay. We would highly recommend it. We loved being on the farm and my children loved the animals, especially the dogs and horses that would come to say hello. We loved the open plan cottage. The only thing I would mention is that I am not a confident hill driver - coming from Essex - and while I was aware of the steep road from Withiel, I wasn't aware of just how steep and single track it was. However, we found other roads to come in on and leave on and it was absolutely fine, even though it took a little bit longer.

Really cosy getaway, super dog friendly.

We really loved the coziness and comfort of this home. It's very well equipped, very secure, and has a lovely wood burner which was fabulous for the cold evenings. We were given an upgrade to the larger groom's cottage, which was so thoughtfully, as was the lovely welcome basket. A real super-feature for us was the brilliant enclosed dog exercise are, which our two pups enjoyed so much. A lot of our real was taken up by a wedding, but we had a fantastic couple of outings too.

Properly relaxing break with the dogs

What a lovely, peaceful, relaxing place. This was a perfect break for us - the kids loved being on a farm, meeting the horses and watching out for wildlife, and we loved standing on the balcony looking out at the lush view. But most importantly it was somewhere we genuinely relaxed with the dogs, possibly for the first time on a holiday, so that made it for us. We’re always concerned our two setters will find a gap in the garden fence, and our day trip options are limited, particularly with our nervous dog. But it’s clear that dogs are more than welcome - with the exercise field, the kennels, and a relaxed attitude to them being in the house - so we we’ll most definitely be back! Thanks so much for everything Caroline :-)

Beautiful setting

This is a beautiful setting and a beautiful building. Sadly as you are aloud to take your pets here some people have not been very respect full and as a result there is lots of dog hair around, such as in between the mattress slats and under the cupboards and sofas. The pots and pans are very warn and need replacing. Overall this would be a super place if it had a little TLC. Please don’t be swayed by my review visit and make your own mind up, we would definitely love to revisit if these things were sorted out. Many thanks for a great stay at a great price.
