    There was absolutely nothing that we needed that was not available, it was very spacious but with such a relaxing and cozy feel and the downstairs bedroom with en-suite was ideal as we were visiting with our mother. Perfectly located to explore Devon and Cornwall and we visited Boscastle, Newquay, Westward Ho! Bude, Looe and Padstow during our stay!

    Everything had been thought of and provided for. It was superbly clean and comfortable except for the one small point - the bed on the ground floor was very uncomfortable and hard. We would have transferred to an upstairs room but my mobility problems meant I couldn't access the floor above. We nevertheless had a superb week and will definitely book again. Thanks to the owners for their kind hospitality too. They were extremely welcoming.

    You don't need to go without anything as the cottage had every thing you need and the lovely mince pies and cream waiting were lush, thank you, it was so lovely going away for Xmas and not having to put the tree up yourself as that was a lovely surprise waiting, the cottage was lovely and clean and the beds were so comfy. And when leting out Alaska our Alaskian Malamute we never had to worry with her wondering off as the garden was closed in, and the view from the cottage looking onto the fields and the chickens was a lovely sight. We will be arranging another holiday here in the near future, Thank you for a wonderful time and for all the help,you gave us. Happy new year x

  • "Overall we had a really superb time."

    The Croft is a cosy and comfortable little cottage ideal for a family break with a dog and in a great location. The cottage is well equipped. A couple of improvements could be to shift check in time from 2:30pm to 4pm to allow the check out time to be shifted from 10am to 11:30am. This would make for a much more leisurely final day. Also the quality of the cutlery and sharp knives was poor. They were rusty and so could do with being replaced. In the rooms upstairs the blackout blinds do not cover the window so we had to block this ourselves with tin foil and the twin bed mattresses were very tired. That said the double bed mattresses were very comfortable. Again we had a lovely stay but just a few tweaks could make it fabulous.

    Cream teas upon arrival was a nice touch. It is slightly difficult to find at first as it is tucked away down a lane, maybe owner could post a picture of the sign at the top of the lane as part of photos. Fresh eggs from the chickens at the bottom of the gardens and our dog had the run of the meadow which he absolutely loved. Definitely will return as an excellent base for surrounding areas.
