Lovely location, next to a small farm. Great views from the balcony, stars at night were spectacular. Nice waking up to the rooster and cows. Our large dog loved the securely enclosed paddock with a lake in the middle. Extremely cosy and warm cottage.

Great property, great location to explore Cornwall. Local beaches exceptional and access to fabulous coastal walks and Bodmin moor. We felt relaxed in this cosy barn conversion just wish it had been cold enough to light the wood burner. We would definitely go back and would recommend it

Very quiet relaxing location in a comfortable corrage. If you are not accustomed to driving through very narrow winding lanes it could be a bit challenging getting there but definitely worth it. Very informative folder of places to visit also provided.

Nice little property on a lovely friendly farm. Superb for dogs with their own dog friendly paddock. Plenty of outdoor space for bikes and kit.
Living room /kitchen well equipped and comfortable.
Double bedroom quite a squeeze for two people with luggage
An enjoyable stay

A nice sized place. Bedrooms are small but only needed for sleeping. The farm can be a bit noisy at times but it’s kind of comforting. You do need to travel to shops and pubs but there are things about 5 miles away. Had a really nice few days stay.

Beautiful property in a beautiful part of Cornwall. Located on a farm in the Higher Tregawne area.
Perfect for a weeks stay, our converted barn was well equipped & had beautiful views across the north Cornish countryside.
A nice touch was to find a selection of goodies incl. wine on our arrival.
It would have been nice to meet our hosts at least once during our stay but unfortunately this wasn’t to be. Overall though, great value for money & we really enjoyed our stay.

Stunning barn in a beautiful farm, absolutely 100 % percent perfect. We didn't want to leave and our dog who is well fussy absolutely settled in straight away. Looking at dates to come back as im missing it already and only left this morning. Xxx

Cottage has everything you need, however I wouldn't let my dogs or children swim in the lake as it looked disgusting, the promised dog shower has been removed so we couldn't shower our dogs.
The cottage is in the middle of a working farm & although we didn't mind listening to the tractors & farm animals it was spoilt a little when one of the dogs was howling next door.
The lady in the farm house was very friendly and offered any assistance should we need it.
The dog exercise field was great for a first morning & last evening walk.

We decided to go away for Christmas 2023 and wanted somewhere peaceful, comfortable and dog friendly, close to where the rest of our family were staying and preferably with enough ammenaties provided so that we could just relax and enjoy our stay. Grooms Cottage was exactly that and we honestly could not have asked for more. Everything from start to finish exceeded our expectations and couldn't have been more perfect for us. The cottage is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need and more!! The hosts have thought of everything, there's a welcome pack full of useful information you might need and instructions/manuals for all the appliances ect in the cottage so you never have to spend time wondering where anything is or how something works because it's all provided. Caroline (The Host) couldn't have been more accommodating, and we arrived to find, she had left us some wood for the fire, milk in the fridge, a basket of christmas goodies (mince pies, chocolates ect) and a lovely bottle of prosecco to go with it which I can honestly say was such a lovely surprise and very much appreciated. We all had a fabulous time at this very special place, (including our precious little dog, Max who was absolutely living his best life) and we would definately go back for more!

We have fallen in love with Cornwall, the beautiful beaches and countryside were spectacular and we will definitely be back.
However the cottage, although very well equipped, clean etc. Not having anyone to meet you on arrival or even at all all week to check everything was 'ok' was a little disappointing. There was no welcome basket that was mentioned as a wonderful surprise by many other guests, although this could of been down to covid which we understand.
The farm dogs were lovely when we learned they were, but on the initial greet, the small Jack Russell chased my lab to the exit of the farm, thank goodness the gate was shut as it was at times left open. My son got very upset that he would lose her and the barking did even startle me as we hadn't received any introduction of who they belonged to or if they were indeed friendly.
When we had to go on the hunt for the dog shower it felt wrong trespassing around someone's hung up washing. All could of been rectified if anyone could of just quickly greeted us and showed us where the basics were.
Unfortunately the only dealings we had with one lady was her shouting at my husband out of her window when our rather playful young lab bolted over to her lambs to play which he apologised profusely for.
All in all, we did have a lovely stay and the cottage was a great place for dogs. But it would have been perfect if a few points that Ive mentioned above were addressed.

The property itself was quite presentable. Although all of the doors stuck. There were lots of amenities at the property. I think a family of 4 with dogs might be a little cramped.
The property is literally in the middle of nowhere, so a vehicle is a must.
If the farmer had no dogs himself I would return. But the dogs howled & cried a lot because of separation & boredom. This actually upset me.The communication with the owner was very good.

Super farm to relax on. The huge paddock is wonderful for the dogs and the accommodation is excellent for animals as the floors can be easily wiped over to eradicate muddy paws!
