"We had a wonderful week & The Granary suited us & our 2 small dogs perfectly."
Stephen gave us some great tips & advice for places to visit...ie Rock Beach & Stannon Stone Circle which we loved.
Very quiet location & we walked to local pub 30 mins via the footpaths..2 routes so we did a circular route.
No complaints whatsoever.
I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay Sharon. Really was a pleasure to meet you both

"The property was exactly as described and the owner was very welcoming."
The information pack on site provided us will all the information we needed and the unexpected welcome gift of milk, cornish cream scones and tea and coffee was very much appreciated. The property was well equipped and the owner made it clear to us that we only had to ask him, if we had any requirements, which we did not. He could not be more approachable. The property was in a central area making it easy to visit all areas of Cornwall. Thank you and well done.
I'm glad you're back safely - that was a long trip! Thank you for your kind words - It was lovely to meet you both and I'm delighted you enjoyed your stay. Take care. Stephen

Friendly owner, cottage clean albeit very small, beds comfortable ,shame the very small outside area wasnt very inviting, could be made better if all the weeds were cleared, the dripping tap was a pain, reported to owner but not repaired, lack of dog waste bin meant us taking it with us daily to dispose of, towards end of week a black bin appeared outside so maybe they forgot, nice that dogs allowed but really you need an enclosed garden,ok for my dog as she is old but wouldnt lend itself to young dogs, It lacks small things to make it feel welcoming, i mean come on ONE toilet roll, towels were like scouring pads
Dear Colleen,
I don't really understand your comments about the dog waste and bin. The bin you say "appeared", was because I put it by the lane for collection day. Prior to that, it was sitting about 4 yards from the `Granary entrance - in full view and exactly where it says in the welcome pack.
I'm equally confused about your remarks about the outside area. It's exactly as shown in the listing. Admittedly there were a couple of weeds, but many visitors comment on how lovely it is to sit out there.
The cottage is self catering. A lot of places don't even provide a single loo roll...
As to it not "feeling welcoming", was the free tea, coffee, fresh milk and fresh cream tea (both bought the morning of your arrival) not enough for you?
I called the plumber as soon as you mentioned the tap. It's a tiny, TINY drip and the plumber obviously doesn't view it as a priority, as he's saying he'll come next week. Tut, just can't get the staff.
I think the towels you are referring to are the "modern" woven ones I provide. Personally, I agree with you and prefer old fashioned towelling myself, but hey ho, got to move with the times.
Anyway, thank you for your feedback, I'm sorry you had such a miserable time. If only you'd mentioned this stuff (other than the tap) the two or three times I saw you during your stay and asked you if everything was ok. I have traditional towels in stock, plenty of loo roll (which you could have had for free), could have pulled the weeds in 20 seconds, and would have shown you the bin...

"Steve and his partner have an incredible place to visit and we've had a really gorgeous week in Cornwall."
So many positives about this little gem out in the Cornish countryside. 30 seconds out of the front door and you're stood on a little bridge overlooking a beautiful stream. Nature and wildlife surrounding you without a steady stream of traffic. Lots of great walks and a short drive into Bodmin or Padstow. The Granary is nestled in a valley so you feel very secluded and peaceful. We've loved every second! The house itself was brilliant and had everything we needed. Steve was on hand to help at any point and made us feel very welcome.
Would absolutely recommend this as a bolthole away from daily life - we'd love to come back!
Hi Natalie
I’m delighted you had such a good time. Would be lovely to see you all again. Hurry back!

"Perfect little hideaway, the cottage is remote, and not easy to find, being situated down some very narrow lanes."
The living, cooking and eating area is small but adequate and the kitchen is well equipped, although could do with a container for bread and biscuits. It is clean and well maintained, with good solid walls, so it is very quiet at night.
Great if you want to be near unspoilt countryside for walking and cycling. Beautiful birds and walks in the area.

"I can't think of a more Idyllic place to stay, Steve the owner was so helpful and the property amazing, It was a bit of a tardis and the outside doesn't do the inside justice."
We loved the location and the people who passed were so friendly.
It was the first time we took our dog on Holiday and the property well suited needs of both us and "Nova" (French Bulldog).
The local walks for both us and Nova especially visiting the small Farm next door were brilliant, first time Nova had met wildlife nose to nose and seemed to love meeting the Gloucester Old spot Pig.
Enjoyed our time there immensely, definately a property worth recommendation
Thank you Shaun. I’m delighted you enjoyed your stay

"Sadly we were only there for a funeral in Bodmin,so an all too short stay in this utter gorgeous little gem ."
Absolutely every last possible detail seemed to have been thought of with the result being I would have folded up the entire cottage and taken it home…..but wouldn’t want to deprive anyone else of enjoying this lovely, lovely place. The awaiting cream tea after our very long journey was the perfect start to our stay…..later topped with fish and chips sitting, reminiscing, by Padstow harbour!!
I’m so glad you liked The Granary, albeit the reasons for your visit were very sad.
Come and see us again for a holiday Annette, and I’ll pay for your fish and chips in Padstow!
