Mr Lyes
June 2021

“Stayed here for one week, mixed points about this cottage.”

...

Good points: Great location, a small convenience store just down the road, pub just a bit further, dog walks from the front door. Only minutes from Bude. Very peaceful and quiet during the day and incredibly quiet at night. Good bathroom with a great shower. Good TV setup Bad points: Distinct musty dog smell mixed with damp on ground floor, found it best to open the windows to allow fresh air in otherwise after a while I could feel it on my lungs, it affected my partner much worse. Poor cleaning of living room wood floor area, it was vacuumed however the floor was dirty. Poor cleaning of carpet area, looks like it had been done in a hurry and there was dog hair and bits in many places. Ideally the carpet needs steam cleaning or replacing. There was dog hairs in the bed, although the sheets were clean and fresh the hairs must have transferred from somewhere. Decking area and furniture at rear needs serious attention, decking is green and rotted in places. Poor lighting in bathroom. The outside glass of the windows hasn’t been cleaned in a long time. They are filthy. Poor quality mattresses on beds. I did call the property care taker twice the day after my arrival…. No answer and no call back. Overall there is a lack of care and attention that the property requires, it’s a shame because it’s actually really quaint with character.

- Mr Lyes, June 2021

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We have picked up with the housekeeper on the cleaning points noted and they have assured us they will be on it in future. I queried the lack of return of calls and they could not find any record of missed calls during your stay. The carpet was replaced within the last 18 months and the lino in kitchen/bathroom replaced this year. The decking had been cleaned the week before you arrived. With regards to the dog hairs, the last dogs to be staying at the house were my own, 3 weeks before your stay. My dogs are not allowed and are trained not to go upstairs in any dwelling. We also hire in linen so that changes each stay, so I am completely stumped as to how dog hair got in your beds. I believe you had your dogs with you during your stay so perhaps that would have been the transfer? We have always received positive feedback on our IKEA furniture/mattresses all-around 4 years old. We have instructed the cleaners to address the windows this week. Owner relations
Mr Hutchison May 2021

“There was something in the attic that we could hear running around day and night.”

The company did not really do anything to help but contact the owners who were having to looked at after we left. We left early as we couldn’t handle the scurrying of little feet right above where we sleep. Wouldn’t book that cottage again.

- Mr Hutchison, May 2021

Thank you so much for completing your feedback, we have spoken to the owner who has confirmed this issue has now been rectified. Owner relations

“We were booked to go to Barbados for our 25 wedding anniversary but Covid-19 got in the way”

“The cottage was such a lovely place to stay, the open fire and the pool table were such a treat.”

We made friends with the neighbors who allowed us to use their parking so the parking wasn’t an issue for us. The village was quiet and you got a real feel for the Cornish way of life. We went to the tree inn a couple of times and the landlord there was so funny, he made us feel very welcome, as did the locals we met. We loved Stratton and Bude it’s self, you were close to everything you could want, shops,beach, bowling etc. The only thing that I would say was a minus, we had a leak each time we had a bath or shower, we had trouble getting in touch with the management company, once we did they were aware of the leak and said we should of had a note to inform us not to point the shower at the wall, as it all needed re sealing. which we didn’t, and as it was also happening after a bath and coming through the extractor fan, it needed looking at. They sent a plumber who patched it up as best he could. Also as we were staying two weeks, I thought we would of got a change of bedding and towels for the second week, which we didn’t. Other than those two bits though, our stay was lovely, we would live there if we could.

- Miss Williams, September 2020

Thank you for taking the time to right a review. We are glad that you enjoyed the property and were made to feel very welcome. We are disappointed that there was an issue with a leak during your stay, we do hope that it didn't cause to much of a problem and sorry you were not given a change of bedding, if you would have contacted us we could have remedied this. We do hope you will stay with us again at some point and would welcome you back. Owner relations
Mr Gould September 2020

“Great Cottage in a lovely village setting, location is only 2 miles from main town of Bude.”

Lost to do in the area to keep you amused. Great restaurants in Bude to choose from as well Would happily return to the Cornwall House

- Mr Gould, September 2020
Mr Mortell September 2020

“Good location.”

nice village close to Bude

- Mr Mortell, September 2020
Mr Grundel August 2020

“A lovely cottage in a great location to explore Bude and the beautiful surrounding area, sadly let down by poor management.”

When we arrived we found three large black bin liners full of rubbish piled up outside the front door. Upon entering the property it became immediately obvious that it has a significant problem with damp. The downstairs area smelled strongly of mould and one of the walls was dripping with water, so much so that a puddle had formed on the floor. It seemed that the cleaners tried to hide this by placing a large floor cushion on top. There was evidence of mould all around the downstairs area as well as in one of the upstairs bedrooms. We ended up lighting a fire every night just to dry towels and swimsuits. The BT Sport account did not work despite being advertised on the website (a great shame because it was the last week of the Champions League). We contacted the housekeepers as instructed by SMS and also left a message with a member of staff who told us that somebody would attend to the problems, but we never heard back. We will definitely return to the area, but not to Tor View cottage.

“Really lovely little cottage in a nice village just outside bude.”

Great accomadation, comfy, clean ans welcoming! Bedrooms are a great size and nice little outside courtyard! Loved our visit.... many thanks X

- Mrs Birt, July 2020

Many thanks for your feedback. We are really pleased you loved your stay and had a great holiday. Owner relations
Mrs Fletcher July 2020

“The cottage was lovely.”

Clean crisp bed linen and towels. Webbing,spiders and evidence of crisps/tortillas on the floor behind the ironing board (so didn't expect this due to the change in arrival time -from 3pm to 6pm to enable extra cleaning) Parking was a real issue.

- Mrs Fletcher, July 2020

Many thanks for your feedback. So pleased you liked the cottage. We have spoken to the housekeepers about the cobwebs and they are checking every-time now. Unfortunately, as it's road parking, it just depends on time of year and number of cars, but we've always managed to get a spot. There is a free car park at the bottom of the village, just before turning right at the Kings Arms Pub, that may suit guests better. Owner relations
Mrs Godfrey October 2019

“Fantastic location in a beautiful Village.”

2 pubs within walking distance and 5 minute drive to great beaches - we had a wonderful break and will definitely booking again.

- Mrs Godfrey, October 2019
Miss Balwin October 2019

“Great location and lovely quirky cottage with some nice additions - remote control candles, pool/dining room table and well equipped kitchen.”

We've stayed in a few cottages and facilities can be hit/miss, the shower here was excellent and there was a nice big smart TV. We enjoyed the local pubs which were a short stagger down the road and both had great food on the menus. The cottage has some real nice original features with the open fire and fireplaces still intact in the main bedroom. We found it clean, tidy and a nice bottle of wine as a welcome!

- Miss Balwin, October 2019
Miss Lee July 2019

“The advertising did not state clearly there was no outside space or the very small nature of what was available.”

We felt the cleaning was well below what we expected. The house smelled of dog with dog hair left around the downstairs. We are not a family with a dog.Part of the problem was the hover bag was full of the smell too, so when I tried to clear the hair up by hovering through it made the smell worse! There were meny cobwebs. We were disappointed. The cottage was in a great location though, parking is definitely an issue.

- Miss Lee, July 2019

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your stay at Tor View. We were sorry to hear you were disappointed, we would love to have been able to rectify the points raised during your stay had we been notified, however we can assure you that we have spoken with our housekeepers and the points mentioned have been actioned.

About the location

STRATTON

Bude 2.5 miles.

A peaceful, picturesque village close to the resort town of Bude, one of Cornwall’s premier holiday locations. With its lovely old church, winding streets and atmospheric village pubs it’s a place to relax after a hard day exploring the stunning beaches and spectacular coastal scenery for which the area is famous. Bude’s beaches attract surfers from all over the country and when conditions are right you’d be hard pushed to find better surf. When the tide is out, miles of golden sand and hundreds of rocky pools keep visitors occupied for hours. The SW coast path and many other rights of way winding over the cliff tops and through lush green fields looking out over the sea are a haven for walkers and lovers of the open countryside while a good shopping centre and a selection of pubs, clubs and restaurants take care of the inner person. Bude canal, a registered nature reserve passes through the town and rowing a boat through its calm waters or walking the towpath among the beautiful (and friendly) water fowl that live among the reeds is a great way to spend an hour or two. Within the town there are also 2 golf courses, an indoor swimming pool, bowling alley and leisure centre. A perfect location for all that North Cornwall has to offer
