“This is a perfect place to stay, with true countryside surroundings.”

You open the door everyday to hear the sound of horses, chickens, ducks, cows and wild birds, it’s just lovely.

You open the door everyday to hear the sound of horses, chickens, ducks, cows and wild birds, it’s just lovely. The studio is delightful, it’s presented so well, with everything you need. A very pretty garden to sit out and take it all in, including the amazing view! Would definitely recommend this property.

“What a fantastic place to stay.”

Piece and quiet and in a perfect place to venture into both Devon and Cornwall. Steve and Gill are very pleasant people and only too willing to help with any problems or questions. Wouldn't hesitate to go back for another holiday.

“Stayed a week at Colhay studio.”

Beautiful spot, lovely garden and deck to relax in the evenings. Quite isolated, which is what we wanted. Highly recommended.

“The owners were lovely and help was at hand if needed.”

The studio, grounds and scenery were amazing. From us and our two dog's a gold star. Beautiful.

“Our hosts were very lovely, studio was just perfect for a couple.”

Amazing garden and lots of wildlife, very peaceful and quiet surroundings made it a perfect getaway for us. Even though it's a small space, it's very well appointed, lots of attention to detail, with good instructions to use the facilities, we were extremely comfortable and happy. Would definitely return!

Mr Lambourne February 2020

“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

“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 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.

“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.

“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.

“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!

“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.

“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.
