“We had a lovely stay in Meadow Cottage.”

The cottage itself was clean, well furnished and comfortable . It is well placed for the main attractions on the coast. The cottage and the 5 acre field was ideal for our two dogs. We would recommend and love to return at some point. Thank You.

“A lovely cottage just a few minutes away from the sea.”

Well presented and clean. This was the 1st time we had booked a cottage for a holiday, and our expectations were exceeded.

Ann August 2025

“Lovely cottage.”

Loved to walk round the meadow in the evenings and often had a drink at the bench overlooking the view. Owner very quick to resolve one problem we had with the cooker. Easy access to surrounding areas-only 40-60 minutes to north coast beaches. Great shops in Fowey, Readymoney cove beautiful ( no dogs in summer) with a great walk out to the headland and tiny coves beyond Brand new coop 5 minutes away had everything we needed. Fabulous meal at the Fisherman’s Arms in Golant-really good value for money

“Upstairs basic but ok but downstairs was damp and smelled of mould.”

Very unpleasant and bed felt damp. Had to wash everything when we got home to get rid of smell.

Dear Mrs Hawkins and family, Thank you for your feedback. We pride ourselves on being approachable and on-site to help with any queries or issues that may arise and are disappointed that you felt unable to discuss your points with us during the many occasions that we conversed while you were here. Had you have spoken to us during your stay, we would have done everything in our power to resolve any issues that you felt you had. We believe that our cleaning is to a high standard but are always willing to do more. Our ultimate aim is to ensure that you have the best holiday possible. You will see that we don’t have complaints of this kind, as our previous reviews show, and are saddened that you didn’t enjoy the great benefits that Hybadore has to offer. Property Owner

Helpful owners- even the weather was good.

“We had a lovely stay at Meadow Cottage.”

The cottage was comfortable, well equipped and clean. The garden led onto a large meadow, which the children and dog loved. Terry the owner was there to meet us, and available if we needed anything. The location was great, just a short walk down to Golant, and the local pub right on the river Fowey. Would certainly want to return.

“Absolutely loved this place - the listing is accurate, Terry and Sara-Jane were very responsive prior to our arrival and lovely when we met them.”

The property is in a very quiet location and has all the amenities you need for a successful stay - and of course they let our four legged friend stay with us too! We 've travelled to Cornwall a lot over the years and stayed in many cottages - we loved this one so much we booked it up again for another stay later in the year. Would highly recommend!

“Great location and very quiet.”

Good cottage with plenty of space and ideal for the dogs.

“We had a lovely stay.”

Meadow cottage was well maintained with everything we could wish for ( except perhaps an extra tea towel as there was no dishwasher). Golant is a small village with an interesting history and welcoming locals. The Fisherman's Arms is still a proper pub with great local ales and friendly bar staff. Fantastic area for walks, easy drives to all the local attractions - eg Eden Project, Lost Garden of Heligan etc. There is also a good bus service to and from Fowey after a 3/4 mile walk to the bus stop.

Bob July 2023

“A beautiful cottage, set in a picturesque location!”

Our dog loved the meadow just outside the front gate. We holiday in Cornwall every year, the first year with our dog, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay. Plenty of room for 4 adults and an 8yr old! Terry and Sarah Jayne were both friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend and have already told friends about Meadow Cottage!

“Two weeks of bliss with our two border collies.”

Ideally located property in beautiful surroundings. Accommodation is spacious and has everything you need and accommodates all your needs. The views are great as the living accommodation is upstairs and benefits from the main bedroom downstairs as cooler with the lovely hot weather. Bed was really comfy. Great shower and bath to soak your muscles from walking. Additional separate toilet from main bathroom is ideal. Loved walking in the meadow opposite the enclosed garden and seating area. 10 minute walk to the estuary and the Fisherman's arms so great to have a meal and a pint without using the car. Fowey short drive away for lovely for places to eat, quirky shops and views. Terry and Sarah Jayne great hosts as well as mum (thanks for the mop bucket as bit of a clean freak) The only thing I can say to improve the experience would be an upgrade to the corner leather settee but functional. We would definitely stay again as so peaceful.

“This is the loveliest cottage we’ve stayed in.”

So clean and comfortable. Peace and quiet. The dogs were well catered for as well. The owners were lovely and friendly and were there when we arrived and left and were honestly the loveliest people. Their dogs were gorgeous!! Golant has a lovely pub with outstanding food and the walks around there are lovely. We used the cottage as a base and visited Fowey as well. Will definitely be back here to stay.

“The holiday was marred by the fact that the washing machine was broken.”

We were unable to raise the matter with the owner as he was away. We managed with hand washing. The bed sheet was too small for the bed, but apart from

“Lovely location, very peaceful with a good walk for the dogs over the field opposite.”

The owners are very helpful and friendly. We had an amazing time.

Chris May 2022

“Meadow cottage is very clean comfortable well equipped and very well maintained inside and out, the location is stunning overlooking a beautiful meadow that was enjoyed by us and our dog several times a day!”

The location is great for visiting many parts of Cornwall and Golant itself is so nice, great views of the River and the dog friendly pub, the fisherman’s arms is great for food , highly recommended, we are going back!

- Chris, May 2022
Marcia March 2022

“Great cottage in a beautiful location.”

It provided many walks and beaches close by. Some walks you can do from the cottage. The massive field opposite was a bonus for our young dogs with stunning views. Would definitely recommend the cottage!

- Marcia, March 2022
Leisa March 2022

“Cottage is in a beautiful setting, we never tired of the views across the paddock.”

Our dog Nellie had a wonderful time. The perfect central location either for long walks or a drive out. Owners Sarah and Terry both welcoming and friendly the information provided on places to see and or eateries was greatly used throughout our stay . A must visit, we will certainly be back.

- Leisa, March 2022
Chris October 2021

“The house was spacious and spotless and very peaceful.”

Nice views and excellent for dog owners. Our only downside was lack of instructions I.e. our power went off briefly and we had no idea where the fuse box was and it was still dark. Fortunately we had a torch on us. Also, the light in the shower was not working which can be a problem if your eyesight is not good as the rest of the lighting in the bathroom is not really bright. Having said that our bed was very comfortable and we had a nice time and would recommend.

Victoria July 2021

“Very helpful owner .”

Lovely setting- the grass meadow behind the cottage is gorgeous and we enjoyed our walks down to the village pub in Golant - we recommend the encounter Cornwall kayak tour down the river to Fowey.

Roman June 2021

“Wonderful place.”

the owner Terry is really laid back but always on hand should you need him. The meadow on the site is just great for a dog and the human who walks it! Will definitely return.

Robert June 2021

“We enjoyed a fabulous week at Meadow Cottage.”

The cleanliness on arrival was superb, the detailed information sent out by Terry and Sarah-Jayne before arrival was both useful and accurate and they were also very helpful in organising a couple of things we asked about before arrival. The Kitchen was well equipped, the Lounge / Dining area was spacious, the bedrooms were a good size and had plenty of storage space and the bathroom / shower all worked perfectly with very hot water! The private outside garden was lovely, but the meadow outside the back gate added to both the view and exercise space for the dog who enjoyed sniffing out the local wildlife, mainly rabbits. Ideally placed to get out and about, we really enjoyed our stay and will hopefully visit again in the future.

- Robert, June 2021
Carla May 2021

“Great property in beautiful surroundings.”

The whole family enjoyed it. Plenty to do in the local area. The property was comfortable and well equipped and very clean. Comfy beds and we all slept well! The meadow outside is gorgeous and a great space for our dog to run around. The owners were very helpful and made us feel welcome. Very peaceful location but still close to Fowey. We are already planning our next visit! Thank you!

Anthony June 2019

“Our two weeks stay at Hybadore was fabulous.”

Fantastic location, fantastic accommodation. Just outside our converted barn we had a private garden which was a real suntrap. Our dog loved that garden, but not as much as she loved the meadow immediately outside the garden gate. There are a couple of benches supplied in the field and we used them to admire the spectacular sunsets, with a glass or two of vino. Inside the house the kitchen is very well equipped and finished nicely. In the living room there is a huge and comfortable L shaped settee, which is essential if your trying to relax after lots of dog walking and swimming! Everything was spotless and very well presented. The owners of Hybadore, Terry and Sarah-Jayne, are extremely welcoming, seemingly always willing to stop and chat and a real source of local knowledge. There is a local pub down the hill in Golant village, The Fishermans Arms, which is a great spot for a few beers a good food. The hike back up the hill didn’t feel too bad after that! Hybadore is a great base to explore all that Cornwall offers. Definitely a 10 out of 10!

“I met up with several members of my family for a week in this cottage.”

The cottage (a converted barn) has an upside down layout, with two bedrooms and bathroom and separate toilet on the ground floor, and another twin bedroom on the first floor along with a very spacious sittingroom/dinning area and a good sized kitchen. The spacious accommodation suited us very well, lots of space to sit and chat. All the necessary equipment was available, and the beds were very comfy. We really liked the cottage and we also greatly enjoyed having a large meadow of uncut grass just outside our private garden - my dog and l loved walking round the meadow and enjoying the peace and quiet. There is a handy pub in Golant, but note that it is a steep walk back up the hill to the cottage! Overall, a great place to stay and the owners were very friendly and helpful.

Katherine April 2019

“Meadow cottage was absolutely lovely.”

Three spacious bedrooms so plenty of room for us and our three children. The sitting area was also quite big with a dining table and nice kitchen. What made it though is the enormous field right outside the cottage which was ours to run and play in. My boys absolutely loved it. Fantastic!! We visited lots of places, the lost gardens of heligan, Charlestown, trelissick and landhydrock (national trust properties). Godrevy beach and seeing the seals at mutton cove is a must. Nowhere more than an hour away from this cottage. Would highly recommend!!

- Katherine, April 2019
Mary April 2019

“Excellent cottage, lovely position, perfect for children and dogs.”

Very pleasant , helpful owners who live on site. Steep walk down to Golant, even steeper walk back up but well worth the trip. Nice friendly pub in Golant. Good walks from the cottage and easy drive to Fowey, Eden project, Polperro etc. Definitely will be going back. Loved the holiday.

- Mary, April 2019
Anne March 2019

“We loved the peace and quite.”

Always a joy to return in the evening after an exhausting day. The beds were comfy and we all sleep well. A lovely walk around the grounds. Hosts couldn't do enough for us. Certainly would stop again.

Meadow cottage is beautiful, very peaceful & relaxing.

Rebecca July 2018

“Cottage was very clean, and the setting with the meadow opposite was lovely.”

The bedrooms were very nice, the upstairs area was quite basic but functional. We had a few minor issues which Terry and Sarah sorted immediately which was great. My only grumble is that the cottage is advertised as having an enclosed garden, and in fact it had post and rail fencing and a big gap under the gate which meant that our dogs could just get straight through. We did have a nice time but we would not have booked it if we'd known as its hard to relax when you have to keep an eye on the dogs all the time. In future I would definitely check this with any owners before booking. Other than that though it was a nice place to stay.

“I would highly recommend this accommodation.”

The cottage was lovely, the setting was beautiful and peaceful. Good parking facilities. Easy access to all the places we wanted to visit. Sarah-Jane and Terry were very welcoming and friendly and were happy to answer any questions we had about the cottage and places to visit. The cottage was clean and spacious. Our party was 4 adults and 2 dogs and there was plenty of room. There is a good sized garden with chairs and table and the use of the meadow beyond was lovely for an early morning or evening stroll with the dogs. There was a welcoming couple of bottles of Fowey cider. And a lovely touch was the jar of dog treats and a tag for a dog’s collar giving the name and phone number of the cottages. We had a wonderful 2 weeks. Thank you Sarah-Jane and Terry. We will be back.

The property

One of the two Hybadore holiday cottages, Meadow cottage is a cleverly converted period stone barn in the charming and picturesque riverside village of Golant just 3 miles from the famous bustling yachting town of Fowey in this stunningly beautiful area of Cornwall.

With a large enclosed garden complete with furniture and loungers and surrounded by many acres of private meadows to enjoy and picnic this really is the place for a relaxing holiday whatever time of year.

Set over two floors, two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor along with the family bathroom and separate cloakroom.

On the first floor is the third bedroom as well as the kitchen and the magnificent large living room with it's high apex beamed ceiling and comfortable sitting and dining areas.

With many walks both through peaceful woodlands and of course the famous riverside walks as well as being so close to the Saints Way, the trail which links Fowey on the south coast to Padstow on the north, walkers are spoilt for choice here.

For the more adventurous and for the best way to see the river and experience the amazing wildlife why not book a canoe or kayak trip from the village itself.

Also in Golant the Fishermans Arms offers locally produced food and ales to enjoy whilst watching the boats go by.

A wonderful cottage in a stunning location to be enjoyed all year round.

Note: This property can be a let alongside ref 961598 and ref 963323- in total these properties can sleep 22.
