“Beautiful and well laid out property, the kitchen is a lovely family area, and the location for moving around Cornwall is superb.”

Only slight issue was a squeaky bed that made a noise each time you moved.

Only slight issue was a squeaky bed that made a noise each time you moved. Nothing to criticise but would prefer a king size bed which I’m sure a majority of people are used too. So good to see that all cleaning products supplied (even though we bought our own due to previous experiences elsewhere). A fantastic comfy and charming property.

Mr Topliff August 2021

“Will really miss the stunning views from this beautiful cottage, in a friendly village with a fantastic pub(best book in advance) Plenty of room and everything you need, lovely garden too for an evening drink after a days adventures.”

Really can't fault anything, if I had to think of something perhaps a king-sized bed would of been nice but apart from that the property was fantastic and I would definitely recommend:)

Ms Katon August 2021

“We didn’t use the two living areas because they smelt very musty so we spent the majority of our time in the kitchen which did get a bit uncomfortable.”

Also there are gaps in the garden which meant the dog could get out ionto the road.

Mr Gray August 2021

“Clean, comfortable and spacious.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Mr Delderfield July 2021

“We all really enjoyed our stay in April Cottage.”

Having stayed in many self catering properties this is the first to have a properly equipped kitchen. Good to have two fridges and the induction hob cooker was excellent. Beds comfortable, heating and hot water water easy to work out. Property was cleaned to a high standard. Access to the village is down tight roads but no issues as plenty of passing places. We normally like to be further towards Newquay but would definitely consider booking this again. For the time of year and the space we had including the lovely garden I thought it was good value.

Mr Woolley July 2021

“We called to report that the kitchen was dirty and the cooker was filthy upon our arrival.”

You sent a cleaner round who just did a quick clean. We wiped the oven door and floor of the ovens after cleaner visited and cloth was black. Oven smelt of Jif cleaner. It really needed a deep clean. Baked on food was still present on trays and inside oven and on shelves within oven . The result of which is that we did not use ovens at all which spoilt our holiday somewhat. We would have appreciated a follow on call after post cleaner visit however received none. House was lovely but:- several bulbs blown in ceiling, TV in main living room was stuck on one channel, +dust and animal hair under sofa's, dog saliva or similar on said TV screen , sticky cabinet door surfaces and work surface's in kitchen, cooker woe's as stated. Numerous cobwebs and dust throughout house. We cleaned for 3 hours upon our arrival which is not what you'd expect for £1744 or need after a 7 hour drive. Not happy. Please call us to discuss.

Mrs Harper July 2021

“This is a fabulous holiday cottage, well equipped, clean, spacious with parking and a beautiful garden.”

It's perfectly placed for days out to both east and west cornish coasts. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here and would love to return and explore some of the places we didn't get around to

- Mrs Harper, July 2021
Mrs Stanger September 2020

“The cottage is a perfect base for exploring Cornwall the added parking is a bonus lovely and cosy the welcome pack was greatly appreciated.”

There is some TLC required in parts curtains hanging off the rail in the front bedroom the toilet seat really does need to be changed in the main bathroom very very loose and a little tatty. The local pub is about a 15 minute walk from the cottage there is a short cut at the top of the hill the food was lovely but you will need to book in advance. All in all April cottage is lovely and we will be sure to return enjoy!

“Lovely cottage with great views.”

Mrs Carter August 2020

“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.

Mr Winch August 2020

“Lovely accommodation with access to both north and south cornwall coastlines.”

Well kept cottage which was very clean and spacious. Lovely place to stay

- Mr Winch, August 2020
Mrs Summerskill July 2020

“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

- Mrs Summerskill, July 2020
Mr Wakefield August 2019

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

We had a lovely time and would recommend!

- Mr Wakefield, August 2019
Mrs Pocknell 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
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 Jordan, May 2019
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.

- 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. Property Owner
Mrs Dulson December 2018

“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.

- Mrs Dulson, December 2018
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.

- Mr Chaplin, September 2018
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.

- Ms Clarke, June 2018
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 Styan, April 2018
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

- Mrs Chadwick, March 2018
Miss Collett January 2018

“We really enjoyed our experience in cornwall.”

We liked how st breward was central to lots of lovely places to visit. I find cornwall out of this world. And what made our holiday even more enjoyable we had a lovely cottage to go back to. It was perfect in every way cant fault it at all. Had everything we needed and much more. I thought it was money well spent. And very reasonably priced. We will be booking again in the near furture, cant wait to return. Thankyou for making our holiday so enjoyable. Absolutely loved every minuet of it .
