Fantastic Cornish Countryside Retreat

This location, property and careful attention to key amenities made for a fabulous weekend exploring Cornwall. We made trips to Bodmin Jail, Tintagel Castle and Land’s End from here. Wadebridge is 10 mins away, but this spot is beautifully secluded and very well appointed. The farm animals on the property will be an attraction on their own to some families. 3 different size units available, all sharing a beautiful courtyard. The hosts are wonderful as well!!

Completely perfect

We spent a lot of time researching and couldn’t be happier with our choice. The kids said the beds were very comfy and they loved the dvds and games. Perfectly located for the places we wanted to visit. Loved the home made scones and enjoyed feeding the animals. Will definitely be coming back, the perfect holiday for us :)

Perfect family stay!!

We stayed for a few nights in early June. The cottage was outstanding! It was in a perfect location (once you get used to the back roads). It was clean, full of everything you need for a family stay. We used the bbq and the kitchen it was perfect. Our little one particularly loved going to feed the donkeys and goats and he was happy on his bike around the cottage. It was quite difficult to locate the cottage at first, maybe a ‘what three words’ location might be good for future :). Thank you for having us, we enjoyed every minute and would certainly return.

Great Cottage - Central for North and South Coasts

Really great stay - a very quiet area - no traffic noise, but within 30mins of the north and south Cornwall coasts. Also about an hour from Lands End. Try star-gazing outside on a clear night! The property itself was clean and comfortable. The kitchen is kitted out fine for cooking meals. In summer you can sit outside with a south-facing view and have a BBQ. In cooler days you have central heating and a wood-burning stove to keep you warm. Comfortable beds. Bath/shower rooms all fine, slightly on the small side, but no real problem for us - it is a cottage after all! Overall, well recommended!

Quiet Countryside Oasis

This property is an absolute gem with an amazing family of hosts. We were so warmly received, and the property itself is set on a magnificent farm in the middle of rustic utopian Cornwall. The cottage is clean and simple and comfortable with everything you need for a quiet retreat. The location was perfect for day trips to some of the regions most beautiful sites. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic Stay, Fantastic Cottage

We have just had the most fantastic two weeks at the cottage. Such a good location for exploring a bit further afield as nothing is much more than 30 mins (except the far west of Cornwall). We have 3 young children, the cottage catered for them really well. The donkeys and goats on site were enjoyed. It’s so peaceful and quiet and really comfortable. The WiFi isn’t brilliant and we had no signal but apart from when we were trying to get Google maps up we enjoyed being quite disconnected for our holiday. The roads approaching the cottage aren’t for the nervous but you get used to them quite quickly and it didn’t phase us at all. Overall a brilliant holiday and our children were so upset we had to leave! Thank you!!!

What an absolutely fabulous place. Welsummer cottage was beautiful, so clean, well equipped, homely , & comfortable- everything we could have wished for! Bosneives Mill is in a lovely location , but not far from anywhere. Being able to feed the donkeys & goats was a lovely thing to do and Donk & Ponk are adorable. Charmion ( the owner) was very friendly & welcoming , We cant wait to visit again 🙂

A very pleasant stay

Attention to detail is paramount for us and the guys obviously want to give their guests their full attention and to. The cottage was very well appointed and we wanted for nothing. Although the roads are narrow there is very little traffic so getting about is very easy. There is a lot to do in the area from national trust properties beaches and of course Rick stein in padstow. We will be back thank you

Perfect country retreat

Our little stay in the cottage was perfect, exactly what we needed. It was clean, nicely decorated, comfortable and so peaceful. Idyllic sums it up perfectly. Fresh made scones on arrival were exactly what we needed after a 5hr drive and so delicious. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, loved seeing the animals on their farm too. Just an all round perfect escape from daily life and we loved every second of our stay. Thank you for having us!

Wonderful getaway location

We were so impressed with this charming barn conversion. Charmion and Charles have done this property to a wonderful standard, and we found it clean and tidy, with everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay (including some delicious homemade scones with jam and cream). The location is brilliant, in short driving distance from towns such as Wadebridge, Padstow and Rock. Would highly recommend and hope to return for another stay some day.

A hidden little gem

My daughter and I celebrated my birthday weekend at this lovely property. We were close to Padstow, the Eden project, we found beautiful walks and beaches all within 30 min drive and would have enjoyed a couple of National trust houses had they been open. The property was beautifully clean, gorgeous interior and well equipped, just like home. If I could have changed anything I would have brought a blanket or two as it was the beginning of April and even though there was central heating and a log burner, the property didn't warm up until the day we left after the 3rd night. Maybe the heating just needed to be ran on a low temperature a few days before we arrived. The double bed was lovely but I would have appreciated a topper as I could feel the springs. We found the property with the owners directions given the day before we arrived and were met with a warm welcome from their lovely cat. They gave us complete privacy and were very pleasant when we had interaction as were their lovely children Ethan and Ellie, who were helping feed the geese, goats and gorgeous miniature donkeys Donk and Ponk....adorable. I'd definitely stay there again.
