“I booked this property for a quiet Christmas with my partner, my dog and myself and it was absolutely perfect.”
It's beautifully presented throughout . The kitchen was well equipped (we packed half of our kitchen cupboards to ensure we had the utensils and equipment to cook Christmas dinner but we needn't have) it was a welcome surprise to find a holiday let with all the utensils we needed and in excellent condition. On arrival there was enough logs, kindling and eco firelighters to get the first fire burning if we weren't already prepared.

The view from the hot tub shows how lovely and remote it is, during the day you only see fields and in the night maybe three or four properties lit up in the distance meaning minimal light pollution affecting visibility of the starry sky. The hot tub is opposite the neighbouring holiday rental, the owners have added a pull out privacy screen that can be used to partially or fully enclose the outdoor area from view. Once you are in the hot tub and settled you don't really need the screen at all due to The View being slightly uphill of the other property, all you can see is the spectacular view.
Although fully remote this property provides an excellent base to explore North and South Cornwall with so many amazing beaches within a half hour drive, a small walk down an almost unused lane brings you to Cardinham woods, so the dog was really spoilt for choice.
We arrived fully equipped with washing up liquid, cloths, tea towels, loo roll etc knowing even when supplies are provided they're not intended to last the duration of the stay, they are just to get you through until you get to the shops and stock up. If like me, regardless of all your preparation and planning, you manage to forget your toothbrush the good news is it's only a 10 minute drive to Bodmin where you will find all the major supermarkets, so easy to pop and grab whatever you need.
Full cleaning equipment was available (hoover, dustpan, spray mop etc) which was a nice touch to help us keep on top of the wintery, Christmassy mess.
Finding the property is easy if you do a google street view and drop a pin to save the location on your maps. We did this prior to travelling and had no trouble locating it.
We spoke to one of the owners the day before arriving and she was very informative and offered to be available if we needed help with anything, even letting us know we could check in as early as we liked as the property was all prepped for our arrival. She checked if we were celebrating Christmas and offered to get a tree up ready for us, I confirmed we were, but also she needn't do anything as we'd already packed bits to pop around and make it festive, when we arrived we found she had still taken the time to add a few festive touches to the table and window sills which were very much appreciated.
We didn't have any need to contact the owners during our stay but met Sharon when we were leaving and she was as lovely as she had sounded on the phone.
Overall a brilliant location, perfect home from home and very accommodating owners. We will definitely be looking to book again in the future.
