“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.

“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.

“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! 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!

“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 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 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.

“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.
Mr McDonnell May 2018

“Great location advertised, however the farm next door owns around 5 dogs which on two occasions barked late into the night which became annoying.”

It was great to watch the birds on the feeder from the balcony upstairs, however the glass partitions and exterior glass doors needed a good clean due to the elements. The pond was a joy and great to be allowed to feed the fish. The barbecue was a nice touch in the garden that we enjoyed. Overall I would thougherly recommend the Studio to others, a really good relaxing break (apart from the barking dogs next door).
Miss Didymus May 2018

“Lovely place to relax and unwind with stunning views from the garden and a fantastic location for visiting North Cornwall.”

Would definitely recommend staying here.

“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.
Mrs Carter November 2017

“A lovely cottage with beautiful water garden and stunning views.”

The cottage is very well planned and the woodburner is a lovely feature which we used each evening. Good location for exploring this beautiful part of Cornwall. Will definitely recommend to friends.
Mr Keeling October 2017

“Fabulous retreat for a quiet getaway but within a short drive from places to visit.”

A good location for doing as much or as little as you want. If you want to stay put the studio was very comfortable with everything you need and a lovely garden area or if you want to venture out there was lots to discover not too far away. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, left us to enjoy our break but were on hand if required. Couldn’t ask for more really!

“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.
