"We were met by Jen the owner with a warm welcome."
Supplies were in the kitchen along with a selection of delicious cakes. The cottage was very comfortable and well positioned for north cornwall sightseeing. Also just a short cab ride to get home from the restaurants in Bude. Thanks for a memorable holiday

"Absolutely gorgeous cottage in an ideal location."
Central to everything and a nice village pub and local shop. The cottage was very clean and very comfortable, the owner Mrs Crigg made us feel really welcome, the tea and cakes she left for us on arrival was a lovely touch. She also checked in on us mid week to ensure we were comfortable and that everything was OK. I have seen some reviews on here about the cottage that were not very nice, which I don't understand. All I can say is that we loved our stay here and would definitely come back next year. Thanks Mrs Crigg.

"Cozy Tea Cottage lived up to its name."
It was cozy with log burner and being greeted with a pot of tea and plate of home made cakes was a lovely treat. The cottage was very clean, and the owner was friendly and really helpful and considerate. The location was quiet, but very convenient to explore both the countryside and coastal areas. The village shop is 5 minutes walk away and is very well stocked. We enjoyed a lovely holiday, Thank you Jen!

"Sykes are GREAT, we've used you for many years."
This was the first poor property we've stayed in.
It was dusty - cobweb dusty. Given that (a) Covid means we're all super vigilant about cleanliness and (b) presumably there's been a period of non-bookings during lockdown, someone could really have come in and cleaned.
The kitchen was really poorly stocked. The owners appear to have never tried to cook a meal in it. You need wooden spoons and tumblers, not trifle dishes and sherry glasses. The kitchen looks like it's been assembled with odds and ends. There is barely any storage space in cupboards so you had to use the worktop, which meant there was limited space to then prepare meals. I have no idea how you're meant to fit 6 people around the tiny table in the kitchen.
The decor is extremely dated, and dilapidated. It looks like no-one's decorated since the eighties. Some doors were inexplicably locked. There was a note on one door (downstairs, at the back) saying something about fire escapes but it was also locked.
Each bedroom had its own sink (again, from the eighties), which weren't visible in any photos. I didn't trust how long it'd been since they were last used. The bathroom was OK but the separate toilet was also tatty (peeling wallpaper) and had a weird tiny sink on the cistern, which is essentially unusable.
This could be a really lovely house, but someone really needs to invest in a painter and decorator, new carpets and furniture, a new kitchen and contents.
Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at Tea Cosy Cottage. We are sorry to hear that you found the property unclean, if you had made us aware of this we would have been able to resolve these issues for you.

"It was a beautiful cottage and the owner left us tea and cakes for when we arrived."
The pub Bullers Arms down the lane was friendly. Budge is an easy walk alone the canal about 3 miles. However if you need a taxi after 6.00 in the evening book it early.

"Tea Cosy Cottage is a brilliant base for exploring the outstanding areas surrounding it."
It is in a lovely, tranquil village and Mrs Griggs (the owner) gave us a very warm welcome and is on hand if you have any queries or questions - without invading your privacy.
The cottage is comfortable with plenty of hot water, washing machine, dishwasher and all the amenities you could need. The outside area is lovely to sit out in and watch the world go by.
There is a nice pub in the village with a pool table (teenagers!) and throughout the week there are various food wagons that park up. The community run village shop is worth supporting too with fresh bread, cakes etc.

We mentioned one thing to the owner and it was sorted that day with no fuss. The shower was lovely not complicated just a on and off switch and hot water when ever you need it the kitchen has everything you need to do home cooking if you wish to but would say lovely pub about 5mins walk away for times you don't want to cook. We had a fantastic time here do not hesitate to book this cottage most relaxing time had ! A big thank you x
