“Great location, the cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed. We had a fantastic time in the beautiful Porthleven. The cottage was in a perfect location to explore the village. I would definitely recommend and I will definitely be back.”

“Location great. Garden great as we had a dog with us. Considering it was the start of the holiday season we felt the property was looking somewhat tired , both inside & out.”

“Were the cottage is is very nice ,but the cottage its self is very dated and badly in nedd of maintainance and the grounds need tidying uo. There was a leeky gutter over the front door no ice cube trays or spare toilet rolls,towels or beding .The play slide out side in our opinion was in a dangerous condition and nedds looking at before someone gets hurt, and the barbeque is an obsolete piece of junk that is not fit for use.”

“Stayed for 1 night. Arrived after 7pm so had lock box. However parking was horrendous and the map given wasn't overly clear. Room was ok. For one night it was fine. However mould round shower, and no creatures comforts provided. Kitchen was clean and dishwasher and washing machine provided. Missing a pair of scissors which would of been handy and the knives were blunt and only 4 actual eating knifes, but holds of forks and spoons. Also garden area is definitely not enclosed, which it could be pretty easily. To be honest it kinda felt like a chalet on a holiday resort. It did the job but no frills. Had to leave before breakfast which didn't open till 8am, which on a Saturday morning seemed a bit late. Also no info on where to go and because there was an event on in the main building, it probably would of felt a bit off limits to non event members. Was expecting a bit more to be honest especially at the price per night.”

“Easy to use booking system though some elements were frustrating, kept having to change dates to finally find our preferred choice. Asked for some clarification on layout and equipment as we were taking a 97 year old wheelchair user but the office were not much good at giving the info and had to go back to the owners. When we got there the owner and his family were really nice and welcoming and any issues were quickly answered. A lovely holiday had by all.”

“Easy and fast to book. I stayed at Thornthwaite Elm, which is situated below The Gallery and coffee shop in Thornthwaite and is run by the same owners. This property is up for sale, along with The Gallery, and it seems as if the owners have decided to just let Elm Cottage continue as is. This showed by the lack of cleanliness and outdated furniture. The fridge was rusty, the hob needed a good clean, the knives in the block were dirty with residual food particles on them and even the kitchen bin needed a good clean. The toilet and shower rooms have been updated and, although small, they were clean and adequate. The living/bedroom is ideal for a person on their own or a couple and is dog friendly, the owners even providing a drinking bowl and mat for a dog’s use as well as individual pots of milk, a selection of biscuits and some teabags for travellers staying there. However the furniture is outdated. The bedroom section had a wardrobe and dressing table which were obviously old, heavy and dark; the pillows were extremely flat and didn’t have any protectors on them. The living area had two large 2-seater leather sofas, which I couldn’t understand the need for both as the cottage is designed for two people. If one was taken away it would make the living area a lot more spacious. The wall near the dining table was quite dirty and the tv was basic. It is obvious that the cottage could do with an update regarding furniture but as the three individual (although can be linked) cottages and cafe/gallery are up for sale I doubt the current owners will be prepared to do this. Overall it needed a deep clean, which I assumed would have been done before the start of the season. If a couple were to rent Elm Cottage it would be considered as a fair rental price but for one person, and considering the lack of cleanliness and outdated furniture, it seems a bit costly considering other available properties of similar size with a much better rating for cleanliness and modernisation. However, Elm Cottage is ideally placed, just a few minutes drive to Keswick, with stunning views and several walks nearby.”

“Our second visit to Beacon View with our dog and it was fabulous! The bungalow is located in a quiet cul de sac just a few minutes walk from Braunton shops and restaurants. On arrival we had a lovely warm Devon welcome of delicious scones, clotted cream and jam plus a bottle of milk in the fridge. We liked the private, enclosed patio with great hot tub! Grassy area to the side and easy parking on the drive. The property is pristine clean throughout, tastefully furnished, comfortable and good WiFi etc. Perfect for a relaxing break! Thoughtful touches like dog bowls and doggie biscuits were also appreciated. Definitely recommend!”
