Grooms Cottage

Nice, quiet cottage in a lovely location with a pub 100yds away.

Everything is as described in the particulars and the photographs are an accurate representation of what you will find. The Pinot Noir, milk and teabags were a nice touch on arrival. Internally, all rooms are spacious and the lounge and kitchen/dining areas are a good size for 6 people. Clean and tidy with good facilities, mattresses and sofa's/armchairs, I believe, are fairly new and are a good size and very comfortable. The courtyard garden at the back is quite sheltered and dog friendly. Parking is fine behind the big gates but may struggle to get 2 large cars in however on-street parking is available right outside and there is no passing traffic. It is an ideal location for touring around with many great places to visit within half an hours drive. The local pub is good, basic pub fayre but cooked very well and decent portions. Best to book a table as food service can be busy.

Thank you for another wonderful week in Cornwall, we love Grooms Cottage and will definitely book again next year.

We’re sorry we forgot to write a note in the guest book but thank you for the kind touches of flowers wine and milk. It was hugely appreciated. The cottage is great, clean, comfortable and very well appointed and we like the updates since last year

I don’t understand any of the criticisms about This cottage….

It is in a beautiful position close to Polzeath… A beautiful layout,excellent decor,peaceful, At home but away from the rush of life Can’t wait to come back! Serenity has returned to me… A big thankyou to the hardworking, considerate, caring, thoughtful owners, Made my stay 10 out of ten

The location is fantastic.

Not only is it close to our favourite bit of Cornish coastline, but the accommodation is right in the old centre of St Minver. There’s no traffic passing and the loudest sound is the local rookery. Wonderful.

This was probably the best cottage we have stayed in.

Beautifully presented and maintained, by very personable owners. A fabulous property in a charming location within easy reach of lovely beaches and interesting towns. Every comfort was catered for, comfy beds, quality lounge suite and the only disturbance was the musical cawing of the local rooks in the trees. Would highly recommend.

This is the second stay with my cousin.

The first was in 2022. We both found the mattresses uncomfortable. My cousin Chris found the mattress in the main bedroom particularly uncomfortable and it seemed to aggravated an existing back problem. The seating in the lounge area needs replacing. Not conducive to a relaxing evening. A real shame as this is wonderful holiday location. Very secure for for the third member of our party "Cherry" . The beach at Rock never disappoints. We were blessed to have found Grooms cottage and would very much like to revisit but not until changes are made. Would you please pass on our apologies for breaking a glass. And hope the £10.00 left will cover a replacement.

Groom's Cottage is beautiful.

Fully modernised, whilst retaining original features, the decor and excellent art works create a lovely fushion. Excellent facilities, great garden and lovely owners who care.

Lovely property in a quiet setting but very tired and generally needs some TLC

We would like to re book next year please

Grooms cottage is a lovely cosy holiday let, it’s set in a lovely village with beautiful surroundings and attractions .

On the whole the cottage is lovely and clean but requires a little attention to detail but it doesn’t detract that we would visit again.

Grooms cottage is in a lovely setting and easy to reach everywhere we wanted to go.

The cottage is extremely spacious and the garden was fully enclosed for the dog. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything you needed. A couple of issues we found were a new kettle is needed as the one there is old and a new bottle opener as it was too worn to open a bottle easily. Also, the seats on the sofas are worn and fairly flat which made them slightly uncomfortable. Saying that, we loved our stay and it wouldn't put us off going back

Just returned back from a lovely weeks' stay at Grooms Cottage.

A beautiful, well presented 3 bedroom cottage in St Minver. It has everything you need and more, plenty of crockery, cutlery, tea towels, tea bags, sugar, milk there on arrival etc, and a lovely complimentary bottle of wine. It has the added advantage of a full-size dishwasher (you get a couple of tablets so you may need to stock up on a few more), washer and tumble dryer. Beds (only slept in the 4-poster) which was comfortable but the mattress could probably do with updating, but it wasn't uncomfortable in any way I'm just used to a firmer mattress. Great outdoor space on two levels with table and chairs on both, we were hoping to be able to BBQ but the weather unfortunately wasn't on our side, beside this the grill does need some attention before summer. The only downside that I have to mention and its not directly relating to the cottage, is the fact that that pub at the top of the lane is now closed and seems to have been for sometime. This was something that we had as a must on searching for a cottage, so to find it closed was slightly disappointing. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Grooms Cottage and have fallen in love with Cornwall, we will definitely be back!

Had a great week at Grooms Cottage.

Facilities were excellent and location was perfect for exploring North Cornwall. Weather was wet and windy but the cottage was a warm and comfortable place to come home to.

Probably the nicest holiday property we have rented.

One minor irritant was that there is nowhere to put anything in the separate shower other than on the floor. Some form of shelving would make all the difference.

This is a very lovely hideaway of a property.

Perfect for family and a dog. Spacious, clean and with everything you’d want in terms of self catering, getting outdoors and being able to manage your post beach or walk clothing/pet. A quiet setting in a beautiful village and within easy reach of everything Cornwall has to offer. A warm friendly welcome from the owners who are close by for any assistance. A proper home from home and thoroughly recommended for the Seven Bays area and North Coast.

The location and private car parking was very good.

In general the property was acceptable but it would benefit from perhaps being cleaned professionally between lettings and the master bedroom and ensuite having a make over.

Lovely well equipped cottage set in a small pretty village

Very interesting history to this old house.

It was a really good house. As described, lots of space for adults, children, dog. Good secure garden. Lovely little village, great base for exploring north Cornwall. One minor point, having to bring your own towels was a pain , but otherwise no complaints.

A very comfortable, well equipped good location cottage.

The large dog safe garden was a bonus.

The cottage was absolutely brilliant and fully lived up to expectation.

Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The gardens were private and perfect for our dog. Excellent location for nearby beaches and places of interest. Would definitely book this cottage again.

Had a lovely stay at this cottage during school Easter break.

It is well placed to visit surrounding attractions. The cottage is well equipment, clean and very warm. Would highly recommending staying at this cottage. Unfortunately for us the local pub wasn't open until our last night but the cottage owners weren't to know that.

We enjoyed our holiday at Grooms cottage it was cosy, warm and well equipped.

We liked the upside down layout. The cottage is well placed in the village with off road parking. The garden and courtyard we really liked, but as it was March when we visited we didn't get to sit outside. The owners were helpful and friendly.

A fantastic cottage and very comfortable.

Had a January break and this cottage had everything we need. The wood burner was awesome. Will certainly visit again

The cottage provided plenty of hot water and heating.

White goods were sufficient and equipment was well covered although rather in need of replacing especially cooking utensils which were rather thin for the electric cooker and not overly clean. We felt the property was very tired. There was only two of us but had there been more, a three bedroom accommodation, then comfortable seating in the lounge area would have been hard to find. Also a feather settee, leaking feathers, not good for allergies Such as mine. The tumble dryer needed some encouragement to work, big thump, and the main door lock needed removal after locking ourselves in. The owners were very helpful on both issues. We just think they are a bit 'out of touch' with users expections these days. A perfect location for all the best beaches in Cornwall however and we had a good holiday.

A very comfortable and attractive property situated in a delightful village .

It was well equipped with a properly dog secure courtyard/garden. On the downside the carpets did not appear to have been hoovered,there were numerous cobwebs and the sinks were not particularly clean.

Fabulous property, in quiet location.

My son has autism and has a particular interest in sash windows, so he loved it!! Near to church and graveyard with spectacular views of countryside. 5 minute drive to Polzeath. Only small downside was weak wifi to furthest bedroom, however, it meant the teenagers spent more time with us!

A really nice property where we were made to feel very welcome.

Would definately recommend and also revisit.

We met with the owners on our arrival and we’re greeted with a very warm welcome.

We found the cottage to be charming and a genuine home from home. A perfect holiday for the six of us, four adults and two children , oh and let’s not forget the dog too!

Nicely laid out.

Clean and tidy. Folder was informative as well. Lovely place.

Grooms cottage was gorgeous and very quaint, it was well equipped and cosy .

Parking was good and garden lovely, safe and private. Would really benefit from a new quilt and pillows in the main bedroom though and the downstairs, which is the bedrooms, can be quite cold. The cottage is in a very quiet location, close to Rock but not so quick to get to Padstow and the foot ferry including parking would get expensive if doing this regularly. All in all really enjoyed our stay and would recommend but not if you want Padstow on your doorstep.

Amazing cottage with wonderful facilities and very well located.

Warm welcome and lovely characterful, comfortable cottage.

Very quiet spot in St Minver, but short drive to great beaches and Wadebridge.

Lovely cottage, with everything that you would expect to find in a holiday let.

When you go out try the fourways inn for excellent food. Love daymar beach. Healeys cider farm now charge to go around the farm, please leave as its a total rip off

Perfect for a base camp, trips out, good food at the local pub , brilliant week, home from home

We had a brilliant stay .

The cottage was lovely. Perfectly situated , close to coastline and attractions. There were thoughtful extras, such as BBQ coals and condiments , a great selection of books too. My only criticism would be that our party found both double mattresses were very uncomfortable ( but you can’t please everyone ) and the bedding and pillows had seen better days ( so it might be worth taking your own ) it wouldn’t stop me from returning though. The hosts were delightful , the area perfect for exploring . All in all an excellent holiday in a fabulous place .

The cottage itself was as expected.

Lovely location. I do have a few tips which could hopefully help future guests, I wish I had been aware myself... I would recommend bringing a stick on/suction black out blind if you have children in the twin bedroom, the curtains don't do much to keep the light out, same for the double bedroom (we ended up putting blankets up as it was so light come 5am!).

Lovely property in a great location .

Very well equipped kitchen and lots of little extras to make our stay comfortable . The lovely owners are there if you need them .Would highly recommend and we will most definitely be back .

This is our fourth time at Grooms cottage .

.. Comfy delightful location .. well equipped .. Great central spot to explore cornwall. Ideal for families , children,teenagers as plenty of showers , even elderly my Mum is 88 .... and a dog ...

Lovely cottage, well positioned, loved the upside down aspect!

Kitchen was well equipped and washer dryer very useful.

For a winter break Groom's Cottage was ideal.

In fact by the evening it was too hot and we were shedding jerseys. The Tysons were extremely welcoming and had anything been wrong we would have confidently asked for their help. We enjoyed their selection of DVD's and the cosiness of the cottage. The only blemish was when the oldest of a selection of pans came unscrewed after our last lunch!

Great location very central to tourist destinations

We had a wonderful holiday (18th-25th October 2019) at Grooms Cottage.

It is in a very quiet and pretty location, a few minutes walk from an excellent local pub, where we (and especially our dog) received a very warm welcome. The cottage is very warm and has everything you could possibly need for a home from home experience. The owners were friendly and helpful and happy to ensure we had a great holiday. We enjoyed it so much, we have booked to return next Spring with some family members, including our little granddaughter. (The cottage also has a high chair and stair gates). All in all, a fabulous holiday and the beautiful weather we had for our coast path walks was a bonus!

Excellent base to tour round the area.

Plenty of beaches locally. Owners of the property excelled in making our stay as comfortable as they could. Would stay there again and will recommend it to family and friends.

Our third visit to this lovely cottage.

Well-equipped, roomy, great location with friendly nearby pub. Good parking and small but very pleasant garden. The owners are nearby and very welcoming.

Brilliant cottage .

Brilliant cottage in a fantastic location highly recommend

Several relatively small issues but all add up when put together.

1. Needs a clear bin routine. No grey bin for general rubbish, was told to leave black bags outside, clearly this wouldn’t work with foxes, cats, seagulls etc... 2. Very limited supply of bin bags. 3. All crockery mis-matched, chipped etc... 4. Kitchen utensils extremely cheap & flimsy! 5. Beds and pillows extremely uncomfortable, hard, lumpy or past there best. 6. Outdoor seating, clothes line, pegs have clearly lived outside for many years without any maintenance, cleaning etc... 7. Outdoor paving dirty, uneven, wobbly. Again very little maintenance or cleaning. 8. Not peaceful or relaxing due to hammering, banging, power tools from the maintenance men starting at 8:30 - 17:00, every day from the owners property, next door. 9. Private driveway used as a shortcut by maintenance men. 10. The Fourways Inn at the top of the road is a lovely warm, friendly local pub serving excellent meals and drinks! A much needed escape. OK and would be perfectly acceptable but certainly not at this price. More 2 star than 5 star!

Lovely cottage with enclosed garden at the back - perfect for all of us including our small dog.
