• "Bathrooms - or rather mini ensuite and a rather cold, uninviting bathroom on the ground floor."

  Bathtub looked old, past its sell-by date. Ensuite shower needs a deep clean. Plenty of fluffy towels, crockery, etc. Kitchen layout means lots of walking. Never used the sitting room for sitting or watching television - did that in the kitchen. One bed (non-ensuite bedroom) uncomfortable, Too many locked cupboards that we couldn't use for clothes - just a branch in one room! Garden nice.

• "Facilities' are good for this type of cottage, though i would stress that the stairs are a little difficult for older people and head room in some places can be some thing to watch out for, other than that i would recommend keeping to the main in coming road as advised as lanes leading of in other directions are not suitable for most cars."

• "Beautiful! Ideal location only a few minutes drive from Padstow without paying a premium for being in the town."

  It's a lovely quiet location and only a couple of miles from the A30 so it's easy to get anywhere in Cornwall from there. The house is idyllic and homely with lovely gardens to the front and rear. All the rooms are beautifully decorated and the large kitchen has everything you'd find at home with a modern cooker and hob, microwave, dishwasher, slow cooker, Cornishware crockery etc. There's a patio to the rear with a table and chairs for dining. It was spotlessly clean and the booking and access arrangements are easy. If you're looking for a rental and you're lucky enough to have found West View, book it!

• "The cottage was extremely well kept, very clean and very quiet, too."

  The owner had prepared a detailed manual and she was kind and helpful when we had some extra questions. The garden is lovely and there's also a bench in front of the cottage to enjoy the sunshine. We loved our stay and would be happy to come back.

• "Beautiful quirky cottage with some great character features and well equipped kitchen with a decent oven and hob."

  My husband particularly liked that he could watch tv while having his breakfast at the kitchen table. Lovely private garden with sun loungers which was great. Nicely central for visiting Wadebridge and Padstow. It’s the small things like fluffy pillows and towels and fresh flowers that make it a cut above some holiday places. More like living in someone’s home rather than a holiday cottage. Would definitely recommend a visit.

• "Without exception."

  Our holiday cottage delivered and exceeded our expectations. West view is perfectly placed. Rural yet accessible. Peaceful and comfortable with absolutely everything needed available. Tasteful decor. Clean crisp bed linen. A kitchen well stocked. The owners have gone to considerable trouble to ensure this cottage provides everything and it did. We also endured the hottest day of the year and remained cool inside or enjoyed the beautiful gardens. A twenty minute drive to padstow or Wadebridge. A perfect base. Genuinely one of the best cottages we have stayed in and hope to return.

• "The cottage is tastefully furnished, very clean and well maintained, in a quiet location but still not far from Padstow and great beaches."

  The nicely landscaped garden also has sun loungers. We especially liked the large, well-equipped kitchen. The very small washbasins in the bathrooms are less ideal for taller people. All in all we can highly recommend the cottage and we would love to come back!

  Thank you for taking the time to leave such a complimentary review. We aim for full marks and were disappointed to see we fell short this time because of the compact bathroom sinks. We’re very pleased that it didn’t spoil your holiday and that you hope to return. Best wishes, The Owners Property Owner

• "Lovely clean and comfy cottage in quiet location."

  Great garden for relaxing on those sunny days. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this cottage. It was 15minutes walk away from a fab vineyard where we had lunch and a short drive to an amazing cafe (strong Adolfo’s) for barista coffee and great cake ! Also Pickwicks for Sunday roast is excellent and close by. The cottage was also a short drive to the camel trail where we walked to Padstow, got the ferry to Rock and walked the costal paths. Beautiful place to visit, hopefully we will return.

• "This was our first holiday staying in a cottage and it really did exceed our expectations, West View is a stunning cottage in a lovely rural setting which is very close to Wadebridge and Padstow and the nearby beaches."

  It was very well equipped and felt very homely, we would have quite happily stayed longer. We would recommend it to our friends and family and would also love to go back for another family break in the future.

• "Without doubt the best holiday cottage we have stayed in."

  The facilities were first class and everything was extremely clean. My wife and I loved sitting in the back garden and enjoying the peace and quiet of the Cornish countryside. Perfect location for visiting various places in North Cornwall. Full marks to the Owners for providing a beautiful resting place. If we return to Cornwall, we’ll look no further than West View.

• "The cottage was absolutely beautiful and we loved the garden, which was so pretty."

  We enjoyed breakfast on the patio in the back garden and then watched the sunset on the bench at the front of the property in the evening. Loved having the sunloungers for the garden. I think it was probably the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in, particularly the kitchen. The beds were very comfy. It's in a very quiet location but close to the beaches and Padstow. Would definitely recommend West View Cottage.

• "Cottage was beautiful and very clean the thing we would have liked as two ladies holidaying together is blinds or curtains up downstairs windows."

  And the sitting in the lounge was very uncomfortable. But on a whole the cottage is beautiful

  Thank you for your feedback. We’re so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at West View and found our home to be beautiful and very clean. The cottage is very private and not overlooked. It is furnished with blinds in every room with the exception of the kitchen, where we prefer to take advantage of the spectacular views and the garden. It’s disappointing to learn that you found the seating in the lounge uncomfortable. The suite is an expensive mid-Century design classic by Ole Wanscher, a Danish furniture designer, accessorised by a selection of cushions adding an elegant finishing touch. The sofa and chairs are popular for their clean lines and ease of hygienic maintenance. However, we’re sorry it’s not to your taste and are pleased it didn’t spoil the enjoyment of your holiday. Best wishes, The owners. Property Owner

• "Our stay at Westview Cottage was wonderful!"

  The cottage has retained all its lovely features, including a beautiful garden (which the kids lived as well!), whilst feeling modern and perfectly set up with everything you need! The location is also great, completely out in the country and yet only a short drive from the fabulous coastline and Cornish towns! Would 100% recommend Westview Cottage!

  The WiFi worked really well and loved the Netflix available! The contact from Beryl was great. She let me when know when the cottage was ready and also checked that all was ok once we had arrived. There were clear instructions how everything worked. A great place to enjoy a relaxing break.

• "What a fantastic cottage."

  The kitchen was amazing. Lovely underfloor heating, lots of space and everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and toasty. The cottage had so much character but also superbly adapted for modern living. Gardens are lovely and very well kept, but not really the weather to spend time outside. We really enjoyed our week here.

• "We had a lovely time staying at West View Cottage."

  It is spacious and very well appointed and very clean. It has a lovely modern kitchen and very convenient utility room with washer and separate dryer. The garden is beautiful with lots of flowers and you can have sun all day long (we had an exceptional sunset in the evening while sipping champagne). There is also plenty of parking even for two cars. The internet is also fantastic (Sufficient for video conferences) and extends into the garden. The ceilings are very low, so if you are tall like me, you need to bend over in most of the rooms. The property is missing a barbecue and a convenient place to store bikes. Most of the sheds are locked, and there is only one small shed available. It is conveniently located to Padstow (You can bike there relatively easily on The Camel Trail) and 15 mins drive from great beaches. The check out policy is a little inflexible, and 10am Is early and difficult to achieve (we were told off by an aggressive cleaner for not meeting the checkout time even though we were leaving when she arrived). Generally very happy and sad to end our vacation.

• "The cottage was beautifully restored and the garden a real gem."

  The location is perfect if you want peace and a great centre to all the beaches, without the crowds. It was lovely to be back in Cornwall and have spent many years living in Devon. Porthcothan, Trevorne, Harlyn bay, Constantine and if you want surfing Watergate bay. The Camel trail is a must, and a good first cycle for kids is Wadebridge to Padstow and back. Plenty of time for ice cream, deli, coffee etc for Mum & Dad to recover! Thanks, Beryl
