    “The was our first holiday to Cornwall and it is such a beautiful place.”

    The bulls pen was like a home from home had all the little essentials you would need, we had Prosecco, biscuits and treats for our dog on arrival. It had a lovely big garden although our dog struggled with the stairs so we had to carry her down which meant her access to the garden was restricted, Thank god for the instructions for the hot tub! we did have to put it on at tea time so it was ready for the evening which in the end we gave up it was too much hard work!

    The bulls pen was like a home from home had all the little essentials you would need, we had Prosecco, biscuits and treats for our dog on arrival. It had a lovely big garden although our dog struggled with the stairs so we had to carry her down which meant her access to the garden was restricted, Thank god for the instructions for the hot tub! we did have to put it on at tea time so it was ready for the evening which in the end we gave up it was too much hard work! The place was covered in flies, there was fly spray but we couldn’t use this due to having the dog. We missed having a tv in the bedroom at bedtime. The location itself was just not for us, a walk to anything local was just under an hour away 20 minutes by car, not much in the local town (St Stephen’s) which meant we had to cook most meals, or drive out at least half an hour. We received a text on the morning of our arrival from Kate telling us they were away on holiday so wouldn’t be around and was told to ask Kenny (who worked in the farm) if there was anything we needed. We did ask for steak from the farm shop (closed due to the owners being on holiday and only open on a Friday) which was amazing might we add. Then asked about taxis. We did feel we were just left to it and didn’t want to ask the owners anything as they were away. We didn’t hear from them again. When we did decide to go out for tea so we could both have a drink it cost £25 to Charlestown and £25 back taxis are very limited in availability also. Although our holiday was relaxing and we seen a lot of beautiful places the constant driving took away the enjoyment. We will definitely be looking for somewhere close to local pubs, shops, restaurants, beaches next year.

The long tracts of sandy beach at Carne, Pendower and Porthluney, are dog-friendly and are within easy reach of and the charming fishing village of Mevagissey and historic port of Charlestown, which are well worth a visit. The infamous Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan are within a short drive and for a more active break, there is Pentewen Cycle Trail and Porthpean Golf Course.
