The Old Dairy

A absolutely fabulous Cornish cottage - in beautiful surroundings & we were lucky enough to see deer & baby fawn in the back garden.

Could not have asked for more, all facilities were as described, functional, clean & comfortable. A outside area to chill out and play the games on hand or read a book, tv if you fancy it, a Cornish afternoon tea awaiting on arrival. Helpful hosts & great guide & hints to get to know the surrounding area with so much to see. Car ideal and some great walks from cottage to beautiful surroundings. The location quiet & chill but close proximity to many beautiful places. Would definitely like to return.

A lovely, clean, comfortable spot that felt simultaneously far from everything and close to everything you need for a country holiday.

Easy walk to the coast, Mt. Edgecumbe, and Maker Heights for a coffee. But blissfully quiet at night except for the patter of deer walking by. Highly recommend. Hosts spoiled us with a cream tea on arrival!

Lovely location, in a quiet spot, but with easy access to many places of interest.

Hosts were friendly and helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Old Dairy, it's very comfortable and quiet and beautifully presented inside.

The small kitchen has all the basics we needed, including a few staple ingredients. Very comfy bed in a nice light and airy room and a stylish shower room. A decked area gets morning sun and is a nice area to eat outside as an alternative to the lovely antique dining table. Rame is a great location for walks long and short, and pubs in Kingsand/Cawsand are within walking distance. The owners we're very welcoming and extremely helpful, highly recommended all round.

Lovely secluded place with footpaths next to the property.

Very clean and welcoming cream tea. For those the like remote and quiet like us the perfect property.

This lovely old cottage is ideally situated to take a walking holiday around beautiful Mount Edgecombe Park and the surrounding area.

Easy access to Plymouth via the walking ferry and a short drive to many National Trust properties. Your host are very welcoming and deal with any questions very promptly.

We were made to feel very welcome from the off with home made scones & home made jam with cream tea on arrival.

The Old Dairy was just right as we were attending my son’s wedding at Mount Edgcombe the next day. The turning into the lane is a bit tight, but it was nice to walk to Cawsands (about a mile on the coast path) and beyond. Ample car parking space once down the lane so no problems turning round etc. very quiet and peaceful setting - beautiful

We loved the property and our stay there.

The Rame peninsula is a perfect place to stay. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t kind to us and all of our clothes became damp within the property and the bed also felt damp and could do with the mattress being replaced. If the weather had been better I am sure that our stay would have felt better. The cream tea and the sloe gin were a lovely touch and very welcome after a long drive.

Very clean and high standard of decor.

Ideal for peace and quiet. Car park is very large and over looking a glade with deer often grazing.The old dairy is full of character with central heating and a lovely wet room.Painted beams are throughout the property and the 2 beds are comfortable with quality bedding.There is a large private decking area for your morning coffee.Hosts Linda and Mark are very welcoming and helpful.Not far from local beaches,Plymouth,and Mount Edgcumbe country park.

So close to the footpath straight to the deer Park for long walks with stunning views.

Or a trip across on the foot ferry boat to explore Plymouth Hoe. Returning to a wonderfully equipped, warm and cosy, restored Dairy with all that you need to refresh you for the next day's adventures. Your friendly hosts are on hand should you need them.

Welcoming hosts.

Clean and comfortable property - with a warm and cosy feel.

Where to even start!

We’ve just had the most brilliant stay at The Old Dairy- so much so we extended our stay whilst there. The owners, Mark and Lin, are so friendly and welcoming. The property was absolutely perfect for our family of 3- two adults and a 7 year old. The Old Dairy is so comfortable and relaxing with all the facilities you could need, and it’s really clear a huge amount of effort has gone into its design. It’s perfectly located to explore the “forgotten corner” which really shouldn’t be forgotten at all- we found ourselves out and about all day every day exploring as there is just so much to do, see and eat! Highlights for us were the beaches in Cawsand and Kingsand, lunch at The Canteen and going into the NCI base at Rame Head to have a go on the biggest binoculars you’d ever see! We cannot wait to return!

The Old Dairy was an excellent place to stay.

Really well finished and exceptionally clean. Faultless. Would highly recommend. Thanks to the owners for having us and thanks for the complimentary scones, jam, cream and gin!

A very tastefully decorated wee cottage with thoughtful and tasteful interior decoration.

A delightful double bed gives a feeling of sumptuous comfort and almost hugs you! Well equipped kitchen and private patio off it for the dry days.There's an unusual feature in the bathroom too! Great walks from the cottage and very close to Cawsand and Kingsand which can be reached via a number of paths and even the tarmaced Earl's drive if the other paths are muddy/wet. Its also v close to the popular Maker Canteen for breakfast or lunch. Very welcoming and approachable hosts. Little touches on arrival greet guests:- home made scones with homemade jam and luscious Cornish clotted cream, milk and a sample of home made sloe gin ( which, if you like it, is available in a bigger bottle from the hosts as a souvenir of a wonderful stay) I've been holidaying in the area ( mostly Cawsand) since 1988 and the Old Dairy is the best accommodation l've stayed in in all that time.

Excellent accommodation in a very quiet and peaceful location.

Our hosts Mark and Lin were there to greet us and a welcoming cream tea was provided. We loved The Old Dairy and enjoyed being able to do many walk’s right from the door. The Cremyll ferry was very useful and ties up well with a good bus service in and out of Plymouth. Seeing the deer in the garden was a bonus. Thank you for everything. Hope to see you again soon.

Spotless, comfortable and perfect for our weeks stay the old dairy had everything we needed.

Hosts were lovely and had thought of everything. The area is beautiful and ideal for walking the coastal path . The Canteen, Halfway house , The Bay and the Crosskeys are great to eat at and also the Edgecumbe arms and the Orangery. It was great to see dear on the lawn in the evenings. Would definitely visit again if we can . Also fetched home a bag full of Lyns homemade produce , including sloe gin

A delightful stay at a perfect location especially for walks.

The cottage was everything we expected and more. We got a warm welcome and took great pleasure in eating the home made produce presented by our lovely hosts.

A very quiet & peaceful location yet within an easy walk to Kingsand/Cawsand & SW Coastal Path.

Secure storeage for pedal cycles. Wifi great in lounge area but no signal in bedroom - this is a personal preference, easily rectified but others may prefer to be wifi-less! Torpoint Ferry nearby if bright lights of Plymouth required (also very enjoyable boat ferry from Cawsand). Many National Trust properties within easy reach & Eden Project within an easy 90 minute drive.

We had a wonderful time at The Old Dairy in a wonderful, forgotten part of Cornwall.

The property was delightful and quirky and the owners very welcoming. We needed for nothing in the property and with great walks from the property it was a few days before we even used the car again after arriving. The bonus of seeing the local deer and hear them on an evening plodding up the drive simply added to its appeal.

We had a fantastic stay here and would definitely look at coming back to stay.

Home made scones with jam and cream on arrival was a lovely touch. It is right next to the coastal path so easy to go and explore. The property was spotless and very well done. Providing tea and coffee was also a lovely touch. There are steep steps to enter the property so bare this in mind when booking. Ideal location for us as we were attending a family birthday but I was disappointed that we didn't get to spend more time in the accommodation. The only recommendation I could make would be a slightly larger sign locating the property as unless you are used to driving country roads it's very difficult to spot - but the directions given in the property info do combat this well.

I had an amazing stay, lovely position and truly lovely accommodation, the owners could not do enough for you.

Accommodation was better than described, clean, comfortable and very stylish and quirky. Greeted with fresh flowers, milk, tea, coffee, cream tea a lovely touch after long drive and owners sloe gin is very nice! Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a bolt hole for a week or more. Beaches within easy walking distance and parking is great to have. Will be returning for sure. Great value for money.

A wonderful cottage, ideally located for coastal walks and the beautiful Edgcumbe Park.

Mark and Lin were delightful and the added touch of a cream tea on arrival was very welcome. Definitely considering a return stay when we next visit family who live nearby.

Hi, the apartment is excellent, it is modern and full of character.

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely part of Cornwall. The host provided many small touches that was much appreciated. Thank you

After a very long and tiring drive we arrived to a delightfully warm and sincere welcome closely followed by a selection of local treats.

The accommodation was spotlessly clean and the pictures and description on the website of the property and the surrounding area are very much what you get. There is an eclectic mix of old and new décor and furniture and yes it is a bit quirky but in a delightful way and it just works and very much added to the enjoyment of our weeklong stay. The WiFi was first class and not having live TV was a blessing as we both read our books which is much more relaxing. Have already recommended to friends and would have no hesitation on returning.

We had a wonderful welcome as we arrived at the Old Dairy which included a home made Cornish afternoon tea with clotted cream as well as some delicious home made sloe gin .

The Old Dairy is beautifully appointed and perfect for costal path walks .it is positioned at the top of a wooded valley .We spent evenings in the garden watching fallow deer grazing in the sunset - all together a wonderful week with great hosts

Lin and Mark were incredibly welcoming and friendly, offering recommendations of places to eat and visit.

We'd recommend visiting Looe, Polporroe & Cawsand beach. The Bay at Cawsand does lovely food and has great views for drinks - we went there most nights and watched the world go by. The cottage was clean, tidy and equipped with saucepans, utensils etc. And, it was a comfy king size bed too! Very quiet location, no noise at all which was lovely. We'd certainly recommend. -Jess & Ash

Quiet location.

Everything worked. Equipped cottage. Communal garden areas and main house are untidy, unkempt and in disrepair (broken glass in front door and porch). Track down is overgrown and dark. Decking area is overgrown with ivy. Strange smell in cottage (was not damp as lots of spiders and cobwebs). Smell was stale cigarettes from carpets and duvets. Needs a thorough clean and carpets deep cleaned. Cottage is dark and has second hand light from bed 2 and lounge, overlooked from owners windows. Odd layout as go past owners kitchen to get to yours. TV has apps only, freeview/live not available. WiFi drops out. Public footpath goes past bed 1 window. Expensive for what it is. There is better out there.

Stunning location and great base for exploring the local area.

Lovely hosts and accommodation.
