“We had an amazing holiday.”

Westhayes was a beautiful barn conversion in a stunning lprivate location and the pool was exceptional. We all had a lovely holiday and the dogs thought they were in heaven

Mr Finch November 2021

“First time in Westhayes, as previously stayed in the Farmhouse!”

Very well laid out property, comfortable and very, very clean as always. Thoroughly enjoyed our week.

Miss Iles October 2021

“Our 10th trip to Helsbury Park and our 9th stay at Westhayes.”

We love the location and the facilities but we were disappointed that the shower and changing facilities were still closed at the pool due to Covid. This isn’t deemed necessary at other public facilities so we thought it an unnecessary precaution given the pool is used by so few people and generally is shared sensibly with other guests. We also noted a comment from a previous guest who mentioned that the oven and grill wasn’t working at Westhayes. You responded that, after checking, you couldn’t find a problem. We concur with the previous guest that they don’t work - the fan does, but neither the grill or the left oven heat up. Also the shower in the middle room doesn’t drain properly (hence we would have liked to use the pool showers), and the bedding is substandard - lumpy pillows and duvet covers. The 9 o’clock departure time is very early and it would be nice if this could be put back to 10 o’clock as it used to be pre-Covid. Other than these small issues that can easily be addressed, the holiday was great and we were lucky to have sunny weather.

- Miss Iles, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback. Cornwall's case rate is currently above the national and regional average and until very recently had been designated as an Enhanced Response Area. The advice from our local authority is to keep all measures in place to prevent the spread of the virus and to protect our guests, staff and the local community. The oven and grill have been checked again. We have been unable to replicate the fault you mention. An engineer has checked the oven and grill and concluded that the oven is functioning as expected and that there are no faults with the ovens, grill or hob. The shower will be checked, along with the pillows and duvets. Should we have been made aware of any issues during your stay, we would have done our best to try to rectify them at the time.

“Cottage fixtures and fittings, furniture and flooring worn and dated.”

Oven did not heat up properly, grill part did not work. Washing machine not working properly. Bedding poor quality. Grounds and pool area lovely.

- Mrs Stovell, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback. The property will be undergoing some refurbishment work over the winter. However, in the meantime, the washing machine and the oven have both been checked and, no problems could be found with either appliance. We advise that should you experience any issues/difficulties during your stay, that you contact the owners who will be more than happy to assist you. Property Owner
Mrs Jacobs July 2021

“Excellent cottage - loved it.”

For this cost I would expect there to be more in the kitchen - coffee machine, pasta bowls, wooden spoons, sharp knives, chopping board options. The washer dryer didn't seem to dry without washing which was a bit of a pain Information pack didn't exist - would have been great to have info about the facilities (we never found the games room!), the walks etc And lastly everything felt a little damp over the course of the week - it was a wet week but dry washing and bed linen did feel damp which makes me think a winter stay would not be viable Pool area and general ambience was fabulous, we would love to come back - thanks for having us! Im being very picky - it was an excellent cottage, fab facilities - the kids and dog loved it

- Mrs Jacobs, July 2021
Mr Bailey June 2021

“This is an excellent property in a lovely location and we all had a great week here.”

The only thing that very slightly lets it down is the lack of some fairly basic kitchen equipment. And whilst it has a drinks fridge/chiller which was a nice surprise - it didn't work.

- Mr Bailey, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback. There is a large, new fridge freezer in the property that is more than sufficient for the needs of six guests. We are sorry about this and are glad to hear you had a good stay. Property Owner

“Fantastic place to stay with family and dogs”

- Mr Shotton, May 2021
Mrs Hastings Barnes April 2021

“An amazing property very spacious and clean.”

Our dogs thought they were in heaven lovely walks in the woods and swimming in the stream every day. Garden very secure.. The indoor Swimming pool is overlooking stunning views This was our second visit we are booked again next year.. love love love this place..

- Mrs Hastings Barnes, April 2021
Mrs Robinson October 2020

“Cottage had plenty of space, we were very comfortable.”

Surrounding area was breath taking. Enclosed garden was a asset. Would definitely stay again :)

- Mrs Robinson, October 2020
Mrs Hastings Barnes September 2020

“This was a perfect location for us and our dogs lovely walks straight from the cottage.”

The cottage is very spacious. We enjoyed a swim in the pool every day. We didn’t want to leave so we have booked to go back in March. This place has the Wow factor.

- Mrs Hastings Barnes, September 2020
Mrs Douglas September 2020

“The grounds were perfect for the dogs and we all loved going for walks.”

Although I didn’t use the pool, the rest of my family did and loved it. Only negative comment is that there should be TVs in all bedrooms and the bed room furniture could do with a little updating. That said these points are minor, we all loved our time here and would definitely come back.

- Mrs Douglas, September 2020
Mrs Henry November 2019

“The facilities are superb, well thought out for dog owners.”

Very helpful staff if you have any problem, dealt with swiftly and efficiently.

- Mrs Henry, November 2019
Mrs Hughes October 2019

“We have been coming to Helsbury for the past 12 years and always return as we thoroughly enjoy every experience.”

What I would say, is that I do feel that the barn could do with some modernisation in places. Also, some of the kitchen resources are not of a great standard. Therefore cooking a meal can be A challenge and frustrating. The master bed was terribly uncomfortable and left us both aching each morning, to the point that we considered returning home on the Thursday. I think at the price you pay, I don’t think the extra charge to use the sauna is warranted. My little boy loved the pool and the dogs had an amazing time. Thank you for a lovely relaxing week away.

- Mrs Hughes, October 2019
Mrs Slater August 2019

“This cottage was amazing!”

! The grounds were perfect for both humans and dogs. We have reactive dogs so the quiet and peaceful area and grounds were perfect for them. The scenery was fantastic. The kids loved the swimming pool and pool table. The cottage was home from home and well equipped. Will be booking again and thank you to the owners for a wonderful holiday

- Mrs Slater, August 2019
Mrs Blackshaw July 2019

“We settled right in at Westhayes.”

The house was lovely a really great place for a family holiday. Ample space inside and out and nicely set out. Kids struggled with no WI-FI in the house, but managed to adjust eventually!

- Mrs Blackshaw, July 2019
Mr Fearn July 2019

“Two bathrooms of house were damp & smelled upon arrival we had to leave doors, windows open & fans on for 2 days to air out.”

The property does NOT have wifi as advertised on the website, you have to go to small shed like place in the next property's garden to get any signal and that room was mouldy, dirty & full of dead flies, it was so bad you could not sit in the room as it was like breathing in mould spores. To be balanced, the pool area & grounds were amazing, the best we have ever stayed in, but do not feel the property was worth £ 1648 for a week

- Mr Fearn, July 2019

Thanks for taking the time to complete your feedback, we have now implemented a state of the art wireless connection to the internet we therefore now have uncontended connections of 30m/b+ in all of our cottages as well as by the pool. Property Owner
Mr Deacon June 2019

“Ideal haven for humans and dogs”

- Mr Deacon, June 2019
Mr Lewis June 2019

“Helsbury Park really do go the extra mile to accommodate dogs.”

The facilities are excellent especially the pool which is way better than a number of good spa hotels I have stayed at. It is not a low cost holiday but they say you get what you pay for and in that Helsbury Park delivers great value especially as we were able to accommodate 5 adults and 4 dogs in what I consider to be a large very well equipped cottage. The WiFi is limited if you need it while on holiday but that is something the owners hope to remedy but they are limited by availability in that area. however there is really good 4G mobile signal there if you need internet access. Overall great holiday in excellent location. i would recommend to anyone who wnats to take their dog(s) on holiday with them.

Miss Feeney May 2019

“Excellent location as a base to explore North Cornwall”

- Miss Feeney, May 2019
Mrs Webb May 2019

“What a fabulous week we had here.”

The pool was great and we used it twice a day! The scenery and walks were amazing. Our 4 border collies felt right at home. The best cottage holiday in years! We're going back at the next opportunity.

- Mrs Webb, May 2019
Miss Manning April 2019

“...”

Kennel not secure Enclosed area for dog not enclosed Some appliances didn’t work Trouble opening some doors Access is difficult for the elderly More 3 star than 5

- Miss Manning, April 2019

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Westhayes. We've spoken with the owner who has asked us to cover the points mentioned. It would appear the kennel may have been damaged by previous guests, this has now been fixed and we thank you for bringing this to our attention. Following a visit from the housekeeper of Westhayes to check the electrical items, it transpires that they were all working correctly and once shown how to use them we believe you had no further issues. The extreme hot weather during your stay had caused 1 of the doors to swell and become sticky, we will of course look at this further in an attempt to stop this from potentially happening again. We are sorry to read that you did not feel Westhayes was a 5 tick property, all of our properties are tick rated by our experienced property managers and are rated on facilities, fixtures, fittings and a very substantial inventory for each room in the house. We feel Westhayes very much meets the 5 tick rating. The feedback we receive for Westhayes is overwhelmingly positive and we are confident that any issues highlighted are a one off. Property Owner
Mr Halfpenny July 2018

“Westhayes cottage was perfect.”

The location was ideal, we didn't have to travel more than half an hour the entire week. There is so much to do within such a short distance. The cottage itself is gorgeous. Extremely clean throughout and has everything you could possibly need The swimming pool is amazing. Big windows looking out onto the picturesque hills and woods gives you a feeling of serenity. There are endless walks for you and your dogs which take you through these woods, hills, fields and rivers. I genuinely cannot speak highly enough of this cottage. Truly perfect!

- Mr Halfpenny, July 2018

The property

Turn 'walkies' into a real family adventure at Helsbury Park with a 100 acre back garden or enjoy the indoor heated swimming pool.

When you stay in one of the two stunning barns you can kick off your shoes and put your feet up in front of a roaring fire or wallow in a steaming bath after a hard day's exploring.

Helsbury Park will add the comforts of home to your holiday experience and it won't just be your precious pets that are pampered when you stay in these exceptional properties. Situated in the heart of North Cornwall this unique site is nestled in between three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty: The Camel Valley, Bodmin Moor and the North Cornish Coast, this superb venue not only offers luxurious accommodation but is also totally dog friendly.

Stroll around the private grounds which include a river, bridge, woods and pasture - it will take you about an hour to loop the whole garden.

Take in spectacular vistas of Bodmin Moor and the Camel Valley with a view of Roughtor and Devil's Jump to the east and the river valley to the south. Westhayes is one of two 200 year old barn conversions which have been modernised to create spacious and luxurious holiday homes.

Refurbished to maximise its charm and comfort using traditional materials such as slate and granite and luxuries such as a range cooker and wood burner for winter cosiness.

The living accommodation offers a generous kitchen/diner and separate sitting room with a stunning galleried staircase in between.

There are two super bedrooms both with king-size four poster beds and one twin bedroom.

The master bedroom has a stylish ensuite bathroom while the other two have ensuite shower rooms.

Built at right angles to Marhayes (which also sleeps 6), the two barns share a front lawn, with an enclosed private area to the rear where dogs can be exercised in a controlled space, along with an outdoor kennel.

What more could you and your four legged friends wish for! For larger groups we also let the adjoining property: Marhayes (959870).
