“The house was filthy and you haven’t responded to my repeated attempts to correspond with you.”

I expect some financial compensation please

- Mrs Carter, August 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I can see that our Customer Team did speak with you during your stay. We would have sent our cleaners back to the property to address any issues but you weren't keen to allow them access at the time. I can see that an acceptable resolution has now been reached.

“Enjoyed our stay at April cottage but did not appreciate a knock on the door at 9.”

05 on Saturday 25 July by the cleaners and being asked did I know what time we should have left by. Seeing as i had paid an extra £200 and an admin fee to stay on till the Sunday I am amazed that this was not communicated to the cleaners, if we had gone out early that day what would have happened? Not very impressed

“Spacious cottage and plenty to do in the local area.”

We had a lovely time and would recommend!

- Mr Wakefield, August 2019
“The cottage needs a thorough clean from top to bottom, it’s tidy but not clean.”

Lots of little things wrong like flickering lights, one hanging down.leg missing off microwave, wobbly chairs. Beds uncomfortable and small, shower cubicle is so small, ok if your a child, damp, no tumble dryer really inconvenient. Plus more, expensive for what we got.

- Mrs Pocknell, August 2019
“We had a very enjoyable holiday in Cornwall, and we are very happy with our choice of April Cottage as a base.”

It sits within a wonderful village within easy reach of all parts of Cornwall. The Cottage is very comfortable and was ideal for our party of six plus Alfie (dog), and has all the facilities that we required. The kitchen is particularly spacious and well equipped. The garden was ideal for enjoying the afternoon and evening sun, and for the occasional BBQ.

- Mr Jordan, May 2019
“I have emailed a list of things that need updating in the property / fixing.”

some are quite urgent and need looking at, others are just lack of maintenance. Aside from that we had a great week, the location is great and there are loads of things really close. The things that other potential visitors need to be made aware of is that the dogs are only allowed in the kitchen (the only non carpeted room), there are no dog bowls or hard bed provided, and there is only a tv in one room at the other end of the cottage, so if your dog doesn't like spending the evenings alone (ours doesn't, she isn't used to it), you are in for some uncomfortable evenings sat on the kitchen chairs. the garden is NOT enclosed, there is a large gap under the gate, a large gap between the conservatory and the front wall (nothing stopping them running round there from back garden) and the line of the bushes which run along one side of the garden drop down to the road on the other side and there are not enclosed at all so you'll need a long lead if you have a smaller dog. we will definitely return to the area but would try a different cottage next time.

- Mr Runniff, April 2019

Thank you for your constructive comments regarding April Cottage, we are pleased to read that you enjoyed your holiday and enjoyed and made the most of its ideal location. We have not provided a dog bed nor food bowls because we imagine there will be a very wide variety of four-legged friends staying in the cottage and therefore it would be difficult for us to choose the perfect size for all. We agree that the cottage will benefit from having another TV and more comfortable seating in the kitchen, these will be delivered during the first week of July 2019. We also agree that the garden is not enclosed and the property description will be amended accordingly. Owner relations
“This cottage is conveniently placed for visiting North and central Cornwall.”

The location of April Cottage in St Breward is quiet and the off road parking is good. There is ample space within the cottage to relax , read or watch the television as there are two living areas and a very large kitchen plus on the first floor there is an area for children to play with board games, puzzles and books which are supplied. The garden is south facing so in summer this area would be another place in which to relax ( We visited at the end of December). The owners provide the basics, for a couple of days, such as dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and a welcome tea tray with tea, coffee, milk and locally made scones to get you started. A lovely touch also was fresh flowers on the table, on arrival. We would definitely stay again if we wanted to visit this part of Cornwall as we had a great week here.

The property

With the stunning cove and fishing village of Port Isaac just 10 miles away added with the golden sands at Trebarwith Strand and Polzeath Beach, April Cottage sits in the picturesque village sanctuary of St Breward.

Boasting easy access to Padstow and Tintagel on the north Atlantic coast, this fabulous holiday retreat, just six miles from Bodmin, is beautifully presented and furnished with all the comforts of home.

Ideal for families and couples seeking a spacious, welcoming base to explore Cornwall's hot-spot coastal resorts and charismatic coves, the cottage looks out to moorland countryside and distant sea glimpses.

The village has a grocery store and The Old Inn provides fresh, local pub grub and traditional ales within paces.

Excellent walks are guaranteed from the doorstep; discover historical Fernacre Stone Circle on Bodmin Moor or drive to King Arthur's legendary castle ruins at Tintagel, dramatically poised on the cliff top. Beach and surf lovers will delight in the stretch of superb sand and aqua waters at Trebarwith Strand reached across the rocks at low tide, with beach cafe and shop.

The lively harbour resort of Padstow is a foodie paradise with celebrity chef restaurants, quirky boutique shops and galleries dotted along the pretty narrow streets cuddling around the colourful quay.

From here, hire a cycle and enjoy the spectacular scenery of rugged moors, woodland valleys and picturesque villages on The Camel Trail, which links Wadebridge and the market town of Camelford, stopping for a picnic along the way. With a pretty private and enclosed garden - a safe haven for children and pets with sun-spot lawn and patio for alfresco nibbles or sun-downer drinks, April Cottage makes a truly blissful retreat.
