Dairy Cottage

Perfect for our autumnal break exploring all of Cornwall.

Very comfortable and cosy with a well equipped kitchen. The wood burner made evenings in special and our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend the cottage and would return again. The wooden floors meant that as walkers you didn't have to worry about inadvertently bringing in mud!!

Had a lovely week in the cottage, it was sunny every day, so we took advantage by having our breakfast in the conservatory every morning.

The cottage was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. It is in a good location with easy access to main routes, so ideally situated for visiting both the north and south coasts.

We had a lovely stay at Dairy Cottage.

The house is spacious, well equipped and provides a home from home feel. The property is situated at the end of a cul‐de‐sac and allows easy access to various places of interest as well as the main road A30. Whilst the house was very clean, we noticed a persistent damp smell in both bedrooms. This may be an issue that needs looking into. The owner of the property lives in the adjacent house but was absent during our stay. A welcome pack and fresh flowers were kindly left for us in the cottage, which was a lovely touch. On the day of arrival, we were informed of building and ground works that were to take place outside the owner's property. Whilst the builders were friendly, considered and accommodating, for example clearing the drive when we wanted to get in and out and no noise before 9am, these works were an unpleasant surprise. We booked months in advance, so they could and should have been planned differently in our view. Also, timely notice would have allowed us to change our booking if required.

Warm and comfortable cottage with friendly helpful hosts.

Dairy Cottage is a lovely cottage in a superb location.

The owners Mike and Jan made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Our 5 year old daughter loved seeing the animals each day and playing on the swing. The cottage is very well equipped and we found it to be very comfortable. The sun room is a lovely place to eat and the views from the cottage and gardens are stunning. I would highly recommend this cottage as a lovely place to take a holiday!

We had a wonderful stay with our children.

The hosts were very friendly and we loved saying hello to the chickens and their gorgeous doggies every day. It was the perfect hub for all cornish tourist spots. Perfect for families. Would love to stay again.

Excellent property everything you need , clean comfortable and well equipped.

Owners were very nice and left a good welcome basket. We would definitely return.

Lovely cottage, spotless clean.

Great views. Owners very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic week away.

The cottage was perfect! Lot's of greenery and wildlife. Very quiet and peaceful location. Jan and Mike are great hosts. The chickens were a big hit for my daughter and me. Lovely welcome basket of goodies. The cottage is well situated for travelling and exploring the area. Thank you for looking after us. We will be returning

I can’t thank the owners enough, what a wonderful stay with my sister who is visiting from New Zealand.

Very cosy and comfortable, in lovely surroundings. Would recommend without a second thought.

It's a lovely little cottage

Dairy cottage provided us with a relaxing and peaceful retreat, we didn't want it as a base to explore Cornwall but as a comfortable retreat to relax.

(We only had two days out of severn out of the cottage) Everything we needed was there and Janet and Mike was there if we needed anything else. All in all a great stay and would recommend it it anyone. We will be back for another stay.

Lovely property it had everything we needed.

Very comfortable.very peaceful . Great host.very friendly and Helpful . Would definitely return for another stay Highly recommended.

The cottage was outstanding and the owners made us very welcome for our short stay.

A quiet and peaceful location secretly situated amidst trees at the end of a cult de sac,the spacious property was a homely haven of country sliced holiday comforts .

We loved it. Large lounge and multi view aspect conservatory/ breakfast room. Comfortable and with all necessary items to make a stay easy.

Sadly, we cannot recommend Dairy Cottage.

The twin bedded room smelt musty and the radiator was rusty. The bathroom toilet brush holder was rusty and had left rings on the wooden floor. The back and front doors had mould growing on the insides. Outside, one lawn had long grass and the patio with the BBQ had big weeds, as did the path running behind the cottage. This was bordered by a wall that had been painted white at some point but now looks dirty. The owners were on holiday for most of our visit, but I did discuss our disappointment with Janet on their return. I was advised to contact CCH which I have done and sent photos to illustrate the problems.

Very nice and spacious cottage, close to the A30 and in an excellent location for explorations to the north, south, east and west.

The hosts, who live in an adjoining property, were friendly, helpful and unobtrusive. Recommended, especially for those seeking a good base from which to explore all areas of Cornwall, and who don't mind driving 30 minutes to reach the beach.

We had the best time.

Mike and Jan were absolutely great hosts. Every recommendation was spot on. We are definitely coming back. The cottage was soitless and very comfortable.

Rather than give a five star rating, we would give it a ten star rating and have told the owners that.

We will be coming back again as it is a great location and love the chickens, dogs and cats.

Very clean property and very convenient for most places, also the people that run it are extremely friendly and helpful.

So all in all a great base for your holiday.

Home from home.

Everything you need for a self catering holiday. Ideal location and extremely delightful and helpful hosts. A very nice welcome basket.

Mike and Janet made us very welcome and we felt very much at home during our stay.

The cottage was warm, comfortable and clean. The equipment covered all of our needs and was all in good order. There was plenty to see and do nearby and the location was ideal for exploring further afield.

Lovely people and bungalow was fantastic.

Lovely location and a great centre for visiting the rest of Cornwall. All in all one of the best we have stayed in.

Great cottage in a beautiful location.

Everything you need is within easy reach, a great centre to explore from and a very warm welcome on arrival

The owners were on site and very plesant and helpful.

We only had a short three night stay but everything was there for our comfort and it was spotlessly clean. We had a lovely welcome pack, wine, biscuits and fresh eggs. The cottage is in a peaceful spot but close to the main road giving good access to the north and south coasts of Cornwall. the woodburner made the evening warm and relaxing. The weather was unsettled but when the sun came out it was beautiful. Thank you Jan and Mike for a lovely stay.

Owners very welcoming and the property was very comfortable.

Would definitely return if in the area

Excellent cottage, lovely place and setting

Excellent hosts so very attentive we were touched by the little extras and fresh flowers 5*****will definitely be back

The cottage was very clean and everything you need was here.

The owners are incredibly friendly and lovely and always available for a nice chat. They always have a good tip for an excursion. We will be very happy to come back.

Many thanks to Mike and Jan who made the stay very enjoyable.

And to Scrumpy & the fluffy dog (sorry not sure of name) who were a big hit with our daughter. The cottage was excellent and the welcome touches a great surprise. Thanks again.

We had a lovely stay at Dairy cottage, very comfy and well equipped, out everyday not far from most places, owners very pleasant and helpful.

The cottage was nice and clean.

Very central to getting around. Very friendly and helpful owners. The Wi-Fi signal was very good. Nice garden furniture but would have been nice to have had an umbrella. Nice having a cupboard of towels (other cottages we have used you only get 1 bath and 1 hand towel for the week) nice thought leaving flowers, wine and biscuits.

Really nice little place, set in beautiful surroundings, nicely placed for the A30 so most place’s only half an hour away.

Lovely place, have booked again for next year. Nice gem of a place.

Had a great time .

Cottage and owners really nice and helpful .

Lovely cottage, owners really helpfull with local suggestions.

Perfect location to explore all over and to come back to a cosy well equiped cottage. Would recommend to all

Fantastic holiday had with our two Grandsons in beautiful Dairy Cottage with friendly accommodating hosts Jan and Mike on hand in their property across the yard.

A most welcome gift of wine, shortbread biscuits and fudge left for us to enjoy together with beautiful fresh flowers in the window sills making it home from home. Very well equiped fab kitchen (loved cooking our meals here!). Bedrooms were comfortable with a great walk in shower/ensuite facility in ours. The boys had twin beds in their room with their own bathroom nearby which was great. We loved every minute of being in the cottage and was in no rush to leave it each day and explore. But explore we did, with the cottage being within easy reach of NT Lanhydrock, Charlestown, Fowey, Port Issac (Doc Martins village), Tintangel but the icing on the cake for the boys was the beach at Porthpean which had fab rock pools. Camel creek was a fab kids activity rides park too. Another favourite place for the kids was Cardinham Woods a mile from the cottage where they loved paddling in the shallow waters there in their wellies... absolutely idyllic. We had a Robin visit each morning and the boys loved the owners 2 friendly gorgeous dogs and looked for them on leaving and returning to the cottage each day. When our car didnt start one morning Mike was soon their with his jump leads and we were on our way. Much appreciated. We had the best holiday at Dairy Cottage and made some lovely memories to treasure. Many thanks Jan and Mike. We cant wait to return.

This is a beautiful cottage located away from the A30/A38 but within easy access of local facilities.

Just a short drive away from the NE and NW coasts of Cornwall and ideally situated for Eden Project. Just down the roads is the fabulous Cardinham woods with clearly identified trails and award winning cafe, an area I would highly recommend if you like walking or biking. The cottage is like home from home, spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated and well equipped. All the rooms are generously proportioned with the added bonus of a conservatory overlooking the garden. There is an enclosed garden but you are granted access to the owners land to explore. An outside patio and BBQ are available if you are lucky enough to experience good weather. The beds are firm and although I normally sleep on a softer mattress I slept really well. Jan and Mike are the perfect hosts allowing you the freedom to enjoy your stay but on hand if you need anything. A welcome basket of goodies was waiting for us on arrival and Mike left us some of their fresh eggs all of which was really appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate booking the cottage again when staying in the area and highly recommend it and the wonderful hosts.

Beautiful accommodation in a convenient, central location.

The owners were very helpful and friendly.

Had a lovely week,just what we needed all home comforts too.

Suitably placed to explore Cornwall. Mike and Janet were great hosts and full of local information and was hard to pack up and leave at the end of our week.

The cottage is beautiful and spacious and very nicely decorated.

The ouners, Janet and Mike, are generous, helpfull and interesting couple, we enjoyed interacting with very much, and would love to see again

Staying at Dairy Cottage is simply joyful.

Will rebook for a third time hopefully soon. Jan and Mike, the owners, are so lovely and warm, the cottage is just perfect and the location is beautiful. Great facilities near by too. An truly lovely place run by lovely people.

Cottage in beautiful setting and location excellent for exploring Cornwall.

The owners , Mike & Jan are lovely people; very helpful and generous. Well equipped cottage, Friendly dogs and a robin.

We had a lovely stay at Dairy Cottage.

The cottage was nice and cosy and we enjoyed the log burner. It had everything we needed and the owners were very friendly and helpful. A great location for exploring Cornwall. We did find the mattresses on the bed in the master room a little firm for our liking.

Dairy Cottage is a property which is finished to a high standard and is set down a quiet country lane in Bodmin with easy access to the area by car.

Jan and Mike, the owners, were both lovely, and Mike was particularly knowledgeable about the surrounding area. The cottage was warm and cosy and lovely to come back to. We were spoilt with the cream tea, flowers and bottle of wine in the fridge on arrival and would absolutely recommend this cottage if you are staying in this area and are looking for a quiet retreat, away from the hustle and bustle for a few days. Thank you Jan and Mike.

I'm a bit delayed in leaving feedback as life has been extremely busy since our return home.

What can I say other than WOW!!! What an absolute gem to find, a beautiful property with all that we could ask for including a lovely cream tea on arrival. The hosts were kindness itself but not at all intrusive during our stay. The cottage was spotlessly clean with all facilities available to us for the duration of our stay. If I was recommending anywhere for people to stay it would be Dairy Cottage, it has easy access to all of Cornwall with ease of access to A30.

Host was very welcoming, provided some useful local knowledge.

Cottage was clean and very comfortable. Wood burner was delightful. A very pleasant experience.

The cottage was large, warm and in a convenient location.

The owners were very welcoming and helpful. I will certainly go again if I am in the area and shall recommend it to anybody.

The owners of the property were very welcoming.

Met us on arrival.. even provided a welcoming fresh cream tea.

Only flaw of this holiday was the hot water did not work for a couple of days; not by any fault of the owners obviously!

Dairy Cottage is a lovely cottage perfect for a small family

Ideally placed to explore many parts of Cornwall, and affording all the comforts required, Dairy cottage was just perfect.

Cream tea awaited us upon arrival, and we were also presented with freshly laid eggs. Jan & Mike were lovely hosts, and it was a pleasure to have met them.

No.

We had a good time.

We were not disappointed in any way and found the cottage to be attractive and full of character.

Its accommodation is very well maintained, clean and with excellent facilities for a very comfortable stay. The owners who live adjacent to the cottage are very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and thoroughly recommend the cottage.

We had the most wonderful week at Dairy Cottage.

Jan and Mike were excellent hosts, very helpful to answer any questions but also were very unobtrusive. The cottage itself was perfect for us and our twin toddlers, all of the facilities were just what we needed to have a home away from home. Beds very comfy and enough space for us to set our two travel cots up in the smaller of the two bedrooms. The animals kept at the main farmhouse were also a hit with our girls as they loved seeing the chickens, dogs and cats. We were even lucky enough to be given 6 fresh eggs which were delicious. The location of the property itself was great too, as it was very central to everywhere we wanted to explore, most places were within 30 mins and some a little further afield. There was also an excellent choice of supermarkets just 5 minutes away with Asda, Morrisons, Aldi and Lidl. We visited nearby National Trust Lanhydrock which is only 5 minutes down the road and a definate must if you are staying here. We also went off to Looe, Polperro, Fowey, Polzeath, Par Sands, Tintagel, Port Issac, Charlestown, thenlost gardens of heligan, Newquay Zoo and even all the way down to Botallack to see the tin mines. We had a fantastic week, making alot of happy memories and we will definitely be back to stay at Diary Cottage in the future. Thanks again Jan and Mike, we will be back soon.

Lovely cottage and a lovely, friendly and helpful couple.

Recommend anyone to visit them. They even arranged beautiful weather for us.

Dairy Cottage was a lovely place to stay within walking distance of Cardinham Woods also we were able to cycle directly from the cottage so we had no need to use our car , ideal.

The owners Mike & Jan had taken time to make us welcome. Lovely decorations lights & Christmas Tree making it really festive. We also had cream teas waiting for us & also a bottle of wine. We had such a lovely few days there would definitely return.

Lovely cottage.

Stayed for a week over the Christmas period . The cottage was very warm and cosy and beautifully decorated with trees and lights (inside and out). Jan and Mike made us very welcome. Thanks for the cream teas and wine.

This cottage is one of the nicest places we have stayed.

Very comfortable, with everything you need supplied and in a gorgeous woodland setting. The owners live next door, they showed us around the cottage when we first arrived, and were a wealth of information about the area, but were not intrusive in any way. The location is ideal for exploring cornwall as close to the main road so easy to get around to wherever. Lots of national trust places within easy reach,

We had been to this property before, so we knew exactly what to expect.

It is a recommendation in itself that a) we went back there again and b) on this occasion we took another couple with us.They also loved it.Dairy Cottage is excellent in every aspect - location, facilities, comfort and equipment. It is exceedingly difficult to find any fault with a welcome which includes a Cornish Cream Tea and a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge. The only drawback for us in relation to Dairy Cottage is that it is 360 miles and 7+ hours by road from where we live. Otherwise we might be there every year.Mike and Jan have the holiday let business down to a fine art and long may it continue.

Loved our stay at Dairy Cottage.

The accommodations were clean and had everything needed to make you feel at home. Mike and Jan were great and we really appreciated the welcome tray of scones and cream/jam along with bottle of prosecco after a long travel day. The location is perfect for visiting the many beautiful seaside villages in Cornwall. Would definitely recommend Dairy Cottage.

The owners Mike and Jan were really helpful and very accommodating.

We loved all their animals including the chickens who visited every day for food. We were blessed with the weather and this made the holiday experience even better. The scones with jam and cream and bottle of prosecco was a lovely touch. Would definitely consider using this cottage again if coming to this area.

Lovely cottage in peaceful surroundings.

Very helpful owners and welcoming treats! Ideal location for exploring Cornwall

A very enjoyable week at Dairy Cottage with a warm welcome from Mike & Jan.

The cottage is spacious, homely and well equipped with lots of character. Ideal location for visiting this part of Cornwall with its many attractions, the highlight for us being the Eden Project.

Very enjoyable week spent at Dairy Cottage.

It is in a good position for visiting tourist attractions in and around Bodmin. The owners were friendly and helpful. A good weeks holiday.

This cottage is unbelievable beautiful surroundings, picturesque, peaceful the owners Jan & Mike are such lovely people.

the people friendly free roaming chickens are amusing this cottage has it all and in a brilliant location you cannot fail to have a good time.

This is a lovely little cottage.

The owners, Mike and Jan Wills will do their utmost to ensure you have a great time away from home. This. Is our second visit and next years is already booked. For us this cottage is ideally located for visiting our long-standing Cornish friends.

Dairy Cottage was a beautiful cottage, warm and cosy inside despite the weather for the week.

We did find the main bedroom mattress a bit uncomfortable but the main frustration was the Wi-Fi coverage which was non-existent in the main bedroom but this was a small issue as the position of the cottage allows easy access to all the attractions of Cornwall.

The cottage was even better than we expected, much larger and full of character in a wonderful bucolic setting.

It was packed with all the ameneties we could hope for (especially the kitchen) and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the generous hospitality provided by Mike and Jan. We wouldn't hesitate to book again and miss Blitzen already!

It's a beautiful cottage, we did notice in the listing that the owners were so nearby.

Having said that they are very nice people. The cottage is very conveniently located, it feels like you're in the middle of no where. But you are only 5 minutes away from Bodmin, which has all conveniences you could wish for. There also a lot of activities nearby. The only possible negative thing we encounters is the matras on the bed below could use a matras topper. Not because it's poor quality, but because of joint problems I am relatively sensitive and could therefor feel the springs. We recommend this cottage, especially for people who want to explore Cornwell.

Very convenient location and a beautiful area of Cornwall

I asked you to contact homeowner to advise of our delayed arrival.

... although you emailed me to day you had done his, the homeowner appeared to be unaware of this information. If this is the case then very bad communication on your part and it made us feel bad on our arrival.

An extremely well appointed Cottage in a near perfect location, the cottage is cosy and warm and very spacious with two bathrooms, one being a wet room, which is great for those of us with mobility problems, parking is within feet of the front door making packing and unpacking very easy.

The uniqueness of the Cottage is that although in a very beautiful and rural setting, it is within four minutes of the major road network covering Cornwall, henceforth visiting other areas, should you wish, is an easy option. Our hosts, Mike and Jan, could not have been kinder, attentive without being overly obtrusive, always there for a chat and to offer advice on locations for sightseeing, dining etc, very genuine people who go out of their way to enhance your holiday experience. And the welcome gifts being the best we have had, after staying at other Cottages throughout Cornwall, we would not wish to stay anywhere else, in fact, we have just arranged another stay. Take my tip, book this one, it’s very popular.

The whole experience from booking the holiday up to the end of it was a very easy pleasant experience.

The cottage was more than we expected as was the welcome we received by the owners! We loved every minute if our stay and will definitely be booking this cottage again and through Sykes cottages. Thank you!

This was a beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings.

There was everything we needed for a weeks stay, & as well as being very comfortable (the beds were wonderful!), it was spotlessly clean. The owners, Janet & Mike, were friendly & welcoming & we can highly recommend staying here.

Difficult to find.

Plse update your directions and post code

A really fantastic cottage and perfect initial point to visit cornish gardens.

Don't miss "The House Garden" (near plymouth), "Colehele", "Trerace", "Godolphin" , "Haligan" (of course) and the nearby Pinsla Gardens, - and many others. The owners Janet and Mike are very very nice and friendly, welcomed us with Cream Tea, wine and lots of flowers , - lots of thanks to them.

I don’t know that it was Sykes that met my expectations more likely Mike and Jan Wills, the owners, more than met my expectations.

The holiday itself was excellent.

Our hosts and their welcome to us were brilliant and the property was everything and more a holiday cottage should be, BUT this feedback questionnaire makes no sense at all. There is no basis shown for rating the elements listed above, so it is a pointless exercise. I cannot be rating "cleanliness" on how easy it is or that it exceeded expectations. The system used here does not even vaguely suggest "excellent", "good", "bad", "average" or "indifferent". It might intend to indicate "top-end" "middling" or "bottom end". We loved the property, the people and the animals, but this survey does them no favours at all. Finally, this request shows an absence of joined-up data. We have just returned today from Penrose in Porthleven, another of your properties , which we booked through yourselves, so our return journey was today, and not on October 4th.

We were very pleased with Dairy Cottage and very comfortable there.

It's in a lovely setting and provides every facility and more for a perfect weeks holiday. If we ever visit Cornwall again we would certainly consider staying at Dairy Cottage.
