“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.
Mr Jordan May 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 Runniff April 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.

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.
Mr Chaplin September 2018

“April Cottage was a spacious, well equipped cottage with a lovely garden.”

Close to the moors, Boscastle, Tintagel and Port Isaac. Lots of lovely walks nearby and a very friendly pub with good food in the village. The post office has moved to the far end of the village so arrival instructions are not accurate and need updating.
Ms Clarke June 2018

“We had a lovely holiday and really enjoyed staying at April Cottage.”

It is very well equipped, furnished very nicely and in a very pleasant village. It met all my expectations and was ideal for 6 people and a well behaved dog. My only issue is that the directions to the cottage are out of date and it took us some time to find it.
Mrs Styan April 2018

“The property is advertised as pets allowed.”

I fully understand not allowing pets on the furniture and beds but was very surprised upon arrival to find out from the information pack that pets were only allowed in the kitchen or utility room !! Dogs cannot even join you in the lounge in the evening. Hardly pet friendly. This MUST be made clear on the website or, do not allow pets. The latter would be better as we found the garden was not fully enclosed and our dog got out onto the road almost immediately. We had to block the gaps in the front hedge for the rest of our stay. Also there was no garden furniture to use and the sun room is of no use as again there was no furniture.
Mrs Chadwick March 2018

“Cottage is not that near to port Isaac, and could do with some updating and new central heating in the lounge.”

Facilities were good and the kids enjoyed exploring all of the rooms. Addition of the wood burning stove is much needed and came in very handy in the evenings

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.

St Breward is a small village set amongst beautiful countryside in Cornwall, about 7 miles from Bodmin. The village offers all the amenities you will require during your stay with a shop, village hall, church, two playgrounds and a pub.

Nearby, you can also enjoy the Camel Trail which is popular with both walkers and cyclists and winds its way through the town Wadebridge on its journey to the sea at Padstow. On the edge of the town is the fascinating museum and haunting presence of the old Bodmin Jail, which was built from granite excavated from this very quarry back in 1840. Close by are the open spaces and wind swept grandeur of Bodmin Moor while the incomparable Eden Project (11 miles), Falmouth’s National Maritime Museum (30 miles) and the beautiful harbour town of Padstow with its famous pubs and restaurants (16 miles) make for great days out. There is a good choice of country pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area.
