“A beautiful little hidden gem.”

We had an amazing away from it all long weekend, blessed with beautiful cold crisp weather. The garden is lovely, so pretty and secluded, but not completely dog proof, if you have a dog that likes to wander over the stone wall! My only comment would be for other dog owners. We picked this as it had no restrictions printed, and yet when we arrived were told dogs are not allowed upstairs. To this end a clever little stair gate is provided. unfortunately our 2 little dogs are very used to ...

We had an amazing away from it all long weekend, blessed with beautiful cold crisp weather. The garden is lovely, so pretty and secluded, but not completely dog proof, if you have a dog that likes to wander over the stone wall! My only comment would be for other dog owners. We picked this as it had no restrictions printed, and yet when we arrived were told dogs are not allowed upstairs. To this end a clever little stair gate is provided. unfortunately our 2 little dogs are very used to sleeping in a crate at the foot of the bed, and didnt really settle on any of the nights we were there, which was such a shame. This should be noted in the property description we felt. Other than that though we couldnt fault it, I would highly recommend the studio, both in winter with the gorgeous wood burner and I'm sure the summer when the huge byfold doors open out onto the garden would be heavenly.

“We choose to leave Friday morning at about 3am and the reason we did not leave earlier was the fish pond it was stunning, The down sides are the toilet was not fixed and wobbles badly, the dining table has a weird sticky substance on it to The point we could not use it, and there were dead flies everywhere and i do mean everywhere, we choose that location in the hopes of quiet peaceful rest and this was disrupted by a lady with a silver ka who choose to park under the main window antagonising our dog and on a couple of occasions standing outside shouting and swearing at someone who she identified as the father of her child?”

This is what we hoped to get away from not pay good money to get it on holiday. The oven has issues in that despite the light going off meaning the oven had reached temperature it took twice as long for things to cook if they cooked at all

“Gill & Steve were fantastic hosts for our honeymoon get away.”

“Really enjoyed our stay, lovely place!”

“A beautiful holiday home - amongst a beautiful setting!”

My partner and I stayed for a few days with our little Jack Russell and had a lovely time in Colhay Studio. I would really recommend this property as it had everything we needed; the owners were really friendly and helpful and the location was great! It was a 20 minute drive away from Tintagel Castle which is well worth a visit (dogs allowed) and only 20-25 minutes away from the coast - it was an amazing place. Crackinghouse Haven beach was beautiful - as was the coastal walk (6 miles circular) along the dramatic Cornish coast line which started and finished at the beach.
Mrs Palmer September 2019

“Colhay Studio is the most beautiful holiday home we have ever stayed in.”

We visit Cornwall and Devon at least twice a year and always take our little Cairn Terrier with us. Gill and Steve (the owners) welcomed us with open arms including Pickle (the dog) We will definitely return asap.
Mr Fox September 2019

“Friendly welcoming hosts, lovely cottage set in a beautiful rural area with stunning views.”

Really enjoyable break.

“Idyllic”

Beautiful home set in the heart of the Cornish countryside, we were welcomed by Gill the owner who was very friendly and helpful. It was a nice surprise to find tea, coffee, fresh milk and Cornish cream and scones waiting for us, she had even provided treats and a lovely comfy bed for our 2 dogs. The studio was spotlessly clean, light and airy, and very comfortable, the garden is lovely with a huge pond and relaxing waterfall, and most important of all it was safe and secure for the dogs. I would thoroughly recommend Colhay studio to anyone wanting a peaceful relaxing holiday.
Mr Hindes August 2019

“Idyllic, there’s no other words to describe this beautiful place, surrounded by rolling hills with views over Dartmoor.”

The studio is spotlessly clean and very well equipped, our 2 dogs loved the secure enclosed garden. I would thoroughly recommend Colhay Studio to anyone wanting a relaxing break.

“The accommodation was beautiful couldn't fault it at all.”

If you like a holiday where it's quite and pieceful then this place is it. You are Central to go out visiting to different places. The owners are very lovely and helpful, would highly recommend this place and will definitely be booking hear again. Thanks to Jill and Steve for an amazing holiday.
Miss Rippon August 2019

“This is a wonderful place , the owners, are lovely people.”
Mr Hill May 2019

“We really liked the rural location of the quirky studio which was well equipped with everything we needed.”

The owners greeted us and filled us in on some general information, it was lovely to meet them both, such nice people. We really wanted a fairly chilled week, plenty of walking the dogs during the day, we did have to drive to attractions but this was no problem at all and a small price to pay for the peace and quiet the studio provided us with. Relaxing in the evenings in this liovely studio was just what we needed. Would absolutely definitely stay here again.
Mrs Callow March 2019

“Was amazing stay at Colhay Studio, loved everything, beautiful garden & surroundings & Gill & Steve were very welcoming to us & our 2 dogs.”

Just loved it
Mr Ralph February 2019

“The owner went out of her way to make the cottage available even though she wasn't expecting us as the booking through hotels.”

Com had been lost. She also provided an extra treat as it was my birthday while we were away. Fantastic place and made exceptionally welcome, we will come back.
Mr Davis February 2019

“A most relaxing break in the heart of the Cornish countryside.”

The owners were perfect hosts and did everything to make us (and our dog) welcome. The complimentary coffee and cream tea were an excellent treat on our arrival, and the starter pack for the log burner was appreciated on the chilly early February nights of our stay. A lovely home from home, warmly recommended.

“Perfect hideaway!”

The location was perfect! The stuido was amazing! Both said the pictures did not do it justice and can’t wait to return. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday then look no further as Colhay studio have created the perfect hideaway for couples or groups of friends to stay and feel at home with modern finishes to everything within the property and a fantastic garden with a massive pond full of fish (not sure what but they look beautiful) with a bridge going accross, leading you to a patio and grass area, which we didnt get to use as it was colder when we visited but our dog loved it. Also the views from this garden are spectacular and go on for miles (pictured: our dog looking out onto the amazing scenery) Both Steve and Gill greeted us and were happy to answer any questions throughout the holiday! Both so helpful and friendly and even though their house is attached, they give you the privacy you want whilst on holiday but peace of mind knowing they're only a text away! Last but by far not the least, our favourite touch to the studio was the amazing woodburner they have, took us a few goes to get it working (Gill had no problem popping over and showing us how to start it!) but once we knew how to use it, we didn't want to stop! They have thought about all the small things including scones and jam apon arrival, detailed directions for how to get about, details about how to use all appliances in the studio and even down to a dog bed and treats placed by the fire! Letting us know they love dogs just as much as we do! Honoured to be the first couple to stay in 2019 and cannot wait to come back!
Mr Philp January 2019

“Colhay studio is a lovely place to stay for a week in Cornwall!”

The garden was particularly impressive and well suited for the dog. Great access to the coast and fantastic countryside. Steve and Gill went above and beyond to make us feel welcome (including our nervous dog) and really helped out when we got snowed in. Really great hosts!

“Beautiful relaxing holiday, we was made to feel very welcome, Steve and Gill always on hand if needed,whilst there.”

Very well equipped, everything you need, cosy, and clean, studio.We loved watching the fantastic wildlife around us, countryside to die for. Definitely recommend.
Mr Adams October 2018

“Beautiful Studio and the owners were lovely and helpful.”

We arrived at the studio a bit later than initially anticipated, we were met at the gate by Gill who took us and showed us around the property. They had supplied a beautiful vase full of fresh flowers, scones, homemade jam, honey, milk etc. There was a dog bed, treats and poo bags left for our dog. The studio was lovely and clean and well equipped, it even has a nespresso machine. We loved the log burner which we lit each evening to relax with a bottle of wine after out exploring most days. Although the cottage is not far from the owners house, we hardly saw them at all, but they were always on hand if we needed anything. The pond is full of fish is kept very clean and the farmers horses in field out the back were very friendly. We sat out on our bedroom balcony a few nights with hot chocolate and blankets watching the night sky - very beautiful. This holiday was just what we needed to relax from the stresses of our everyday lives. We will definitely be coming back here again.
Will S August 2018

“Outstanding”

We had a fabulous week here and our two spaniels loved the enclosed, secure garden. The accommodation was very well equipped and the owners very friendly and helpful. Nothing negative to say here, we can't wait to go back next year.
Mrs Goode July 2018

“Colhay Studio is a lovely property.”

Very peaceful and quiet. The owners, Steve and Gill, were very friendly and helpful. There isn’t anywhere in walking distance so you do need to rely on the car to get out and about but this was never a problem as the countryside around there is so pretty and the coastal harbours and beaches are worth the drive. We would highly recommend the property.
GlobeTrotting752358 January 2018

“Superb”

We recently stayed at Colhay studio we were given directions days before too help us find the studio which was great as the satnav being a satnav tried taking us a rather strange way upon arrival we were greeted by some lovely scones cream and jam the studio it’s self was very clean and very well finished Steve and gill were fantastic hosts and gave us plenty off recommendations for local attractions, we will certainly be re visiting the studio thankyou again to Steve and gill for your hospitality.
Miss Symons November 2017

“A wonderful hideaway in a lovely corner of the country.”

Not too far from wonderful woodland walks in Bodmin, exploring the bays around Bude and a brief history lesson scaling the ruins at Tintagel castle. It was a great location that was a delight to return to in the evenings and relax by the log fire in. The property is really well equipped and the selection of coffee making utensils and machinery was great! Was fantastic to get up in the morning and watch the array of wildlife on the bird feeder off of the deck and see some spectacular sunsets in the late afternoon. We loved the property so much we looked to visit again this autumn or winter but we can see why they're already so booked up! If you're thinking of visiting Colhay then do, everything made for a very restful week away and we would happily return to enjoy it's spoils once more.

“Colhay Studio”

Wow! This place is 100% like a small piece of paradise, we definitely didn’t want to come home our two little dogs loved the place too, we all loved the garden and waterfall and ponds! Amazing place! The owners are really welcoming and friendly people just a text away if we needed anything. On arrival and on entering the studio every thought has gone into making the property a delightful place to stay with wonderful fresh cut flower, so clean. Tea,coffee and milk in the fridge on arrival and a Cornish cream tea awaiting you with homemade honey and conserves which are really very good and very tasty. Only wish I had brought some to take home. We are now going to book Colhay again we have only just left the place this morning. If you are looking for an extra special place to stay with peace and tranquility in mind and no disturbance in less you want them then we recommend Colhay Studio 100% best holiday we have ever had!

“Wonderful,Peaceful & friendly place to stay. A Must”

What a wonderful place. We fell in love with the studio as soon as we saw it. A warm welcome when we arrived. The host's were very friendly and helpful & great tips on where to visit. The garden is so relaxing,we loved sitting out watching the wildlife all around. Particularly the amazing bird feeder with so many different types from sparrows to woodpeckers (even a cheeky squirrel). The fish pond is beautiful, especially in the evening when lit up. It is so dog friendly Herbie loved it! We have been home a day and he is still sulcking!. For a relaxing holiday you couldn't wish for a better place, we had two wonderful weeks there and didn't want to come home. We couldn't recommend Colhay studio more highly and look forward to returning.

“Beautiful, relaxing, welcoming”

A beautiful well equipped studio, very comfortable with a lovely upstairs balcony - great views and wild life to watch. The garden is secure for dogs and also relaxing with a waterfall and those lovely views. The dogs were made very welcome and were well catered for with a super luxury bed. The area is very rural so the peace and quiet are great.
