“We have just returned from a week here.”

We had a fabulous time, such a lovely cottage, more spacious than we expected for a one bedroom property. Very clean and well equipped. The utility room such a bonus, roomy kitchen diner and very comfortable bed, felt like home from home. Fantastic views over the countryside from the enclosed garden. The owners were very welcoming, it was great to see round the farm, hold piglets and feed the calves. Looking forward to a return visit!

- Mrs Green, October 2019
“The cottage was in a great location to explore both Devon and Cornwall.”

It was spotless and the fixtures and fittings were high end. Monica and Ian give such a warm welcome, and the welcome pack was gratefully received too! It’s a busy working farm, and they took time out to introduce us to their farm animals - the baby piglets and calves were adorable. We definitely recommend this cottage.

- Mrs Fawcett, September 2019
“We love this cottage.”

It is bigger than we expected from the photographs. very well equipped, loads of lovely towels for bathing and very comfortable. The views from the kitchen window is fantastic on a clear day. unfortunately for us the weather was not too kind lots of rain but when the sun shone it was beautiful. It was lovely to hear the geese and ducks chattering in the morning. Because of the weather we were not able to go round the farm but we did see the pigs roaming at the bottom of our garden. A lovely relaxing place and Monica was charming a lovely lady very busy but always willing to chat. I would recommend this cottage and we would love to go again.

- Mr Piper, September 2019
“What we loved about our holiday was the location and the area for our dogs who enjoyed their first holiday away with us.”

And particularly Ian and Monica who were the most amazing people we got to know for the week we were there, and also for the journey we had when we arrived and had those little touches and we are going to spread the word to our family and friends about were we stay and especially amongst the military community in which I live.

- Mr Wardally, September 2019
“This was our third visit to Lower West Curry Cottage and it feels like home from home and never disappoints.”

Monica and Ian have created a very special place full of peace and tranquility, where you can sit on the patio and listen to the sounds of the farm and the chirrup of circling buzzards overhead. It is also a good place from which to explore; either the moors of Bodmin and Dartmoor, or the north coast of Cornwall and Devon. All are within an easy drive. To sum up, Lower West Curry Cottage is a Cornish gem!

- Mr Wilkins, August 2019
“Had a very good holiday in very clean and spacious accommodation.”

Greeting from Ian and Monica are very good and caring hosts and we had very warm welcome on our arrival. Will be going again.

- Mr Sheepy, August 2019
“This is a lovely cottage, well appointed with everything you need.”

Monica and Ian made me very welcome and were always on hand if I needed anything. It is close to the coast and many other attractions. I would thoroughly recommend this property.

- Mrs Palmer, August 2019
“The cottage was extremely clean, and Ian and Monica were very welcoming.”

The cottage is in a quiet rural location within easy striking distance of most locations in Cornwall. I can't recommend it enough.

- Mr Phuong, July 2019
“Lovely situated cottage, peaceful and relaxing, exceptionally clean and comfortable with a beautiful view from the garden.”

- Mrs Crane, July 2019
“Fabulous short break.”

Ian and Monica were superb hosts. View from the rear of the property is outstanding. Cottage is well equipped, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Perfect base for exploring the North Coast

- Mr Barrell, June 2019
“We were very appreciative for the tea,coffee,milk,butter,eggs,bread,wine and the delicious cream tea that was left to welcome us.”

We would also like to congratulate MONICA and IAN on how spotlessly clean the cottage was, it was one of the best cottages we have had to date, there was also biscuits, bowls and a towel for toby our dog to use. we would definitely recommend this property.

- Mr Doust, June 2019
“Lovely to find such a beautiful dog friendly cottage.”

hosts were delightful

- Mrs Scott, June 2019
“This place is just lovely, and very well renovated.”

The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into everything in the cottage, a very comfortable mattress, nice sized shower cubicle, the kitchen has everything you need, nice new comfortable sofa and chair in the sitting room and a decent sized TV for watching a film after dinner. If I had to add one or two criticisms, it would be the adjoining door between this cottage and the larger family one next door, if you have a noisy family in the cottage next door (and unfortunately we did) it can get quite noisy whilst sat in the sitting room. Also the fence in the garden could be a little more secure, we were a little unsure if we should let our dog in the garden whilst off her lead, it would be very easy for them to get under the fence and in with the sheep, possibly finding a way to secure the bottom of the fence so the dogs can’t get in with the livestock would be good... but having said that it was better than a lot of cottages we have stayed in that claim to have a “secure garden”. The bread, milk, eggs and scones were a lovely touch. The views from the garden is just stunning. This is a great location for exploring both Devon and Cornwall. We would definitely recommend staying here and we will be booking to come back again!

- Mr Stratton, April 2019
“The owners were very friendly and accommodating.”

The only slight disappointment was the WiFi. Lovely cottage home away from home for me and my 2 doggy companions.

- Mr Chambers, April 2019
“We had a lovely stay in this very clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage, Ian and Monica are lovely and always on call if you need them without being intrusive.”

We had some lovely home made bread and scones waiting for us on arrival and a bottle of wine, also our dog Bailey enjoyed his treats too. We had a tour around the farm aswell seeing all the animals which was nice. Cottage is in a good location for getting out and about, definitely go back.

- Mrs Lunn, March 2019
“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at West Curry and would highly recommend it.”

We would definitely return. The cottage is comfortable and very quiet and peaceful. Very close to lovely beaches and good places to eat out. Ian and Monica are very welcoming and helpful, Ian gave us an interesting tour of the farm.

- Mrs Parker-reed, March 2019
“A fantastic cottage with beautiful views towards Bodmin Moor.”

Well kept by the friendly owners with lots of little extras included.

- Mrs Bailey, March 2019
“Hosts are lovely.”

Real attention to details. Location is great .... both quiet and peaceful but also ideally situated for exploring the area. Would definately return again.

- Mr Lipscombe, February 2019
“On arrival at the Cottage we were met by Monica and Ian, we were shown to our Cottage.”

Once inside we found they had left us lots of goodies, a fresh home made loaf of bread, and real butter, milk, home made scones, jam and clotted cream in the fridge. Fresh eggs from their Hens, a bottle of red wine and flowers on the table. Tea, coffee and sugar was included. There was even a lovely lit Christmas Tree. The Cottage was very comfortable and had just about everything you would wish for, there was a washing machine and tumble dryer, dishwasher, even bowls for the dog and towels for the dog and treats. The views from the Kitchen window and the lounge were beautiful and it is so peaceful there. There is also a fenced off area for the dog. I would recommend the Cottage to everyone and we will definately go back again at some time, Ian and Monica are lovely people and work very hard not only on the Farm but also looking after Guests and the Cottage was clean and spotless. Monica had asked us before we arrived if we would like them to cook us a Christmas Dinner and they brought it too us freshly cooked and on plates wrapped in foil, it was delicious. Unfortunately we did not get to have a look around the Farm as the weather was not so good, we did meet the Farm Dogs and the little 14 week old Black Labrador was so cute and we could not believe how well trained he was at that age, we have a 6 month old Golden Retriever and she is still work in progress!

- Mrs Bunting, December 2018
“A gorgeous little hideaway with everything you need and more.”

- Mrs Child, December 2018
“Ian and Monica couldn't have done more to make our stay any better.”

Everything we needed was there and more. Home made bread scones jam and cream. Tea coffee sugar.

- Mrs Heseltine, October 2018
“The cottage is in a lovely quiet setting even though it is in a working farm.”

The hosts were extremely obliging and were happy to show us around the farm.The extra touches Monica had provided were very thoughtful.We shall certainly visit again this lovely area.

- Mrs Harris, October 2018
“Lovely newly refurbished cottage with great views.”

Lovely and peaceful with extremely welcoming hosts. Provided super meal for the day of arrival to save having to sort ourselves out. Lovely tour of farm before we left which showed their enthusiasm. Highly recommended.

- Mr Day, September 2018
“Lovely cottage in quiet rural location, with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside.”

Warm welcome from Monica and Ian. Definitely a comfortable home from home. We definitely plan to return in the future.

- Mr Davey, September 2018
“Monica & Ian were the perfect hosts there if you needed them but let you enjoy your break”

- Mr Downer, August 2018
“This was our second visit to Lower West Curry Cottage and we are delighted to say that Monica and Ian have kept their very high standards.”

Indeed they have gone one better and added goats to their menagery! Can't recommend this holiday cottage high enough, just watch out for Ian in his pink tutu armed with a feather duster! Regards, Graham & Carol.

- Mr Wilkins, August 2018
“Meeting Ian and Monica was a pleasure.”

They exceeded all expations. We were really pleased with the cottage, the location and the peace and quite.Nothing was to much trouble for them you only had to ask. Meeting all the animals with Ian and the way him and Monica spoke about them you could see not only was it a business for them but they really cared about them all. We I’ll definitely be going back and have already recommended them to our friends. A really great place to go .

- Mrs Elliott, August 2018
“The Cottage is ideal for a person with multiple dogs to go on holiday to.”

The accommodation is easily maintained and comfortable. I had a great time and the dogs enjoyed their stay too.

- Mr Richardson, June 2018
“Excellent location for Devan and Cornwall, very friendly owners, and the cottage was ideal for us both and our dog.”

the views were stunning to wake up to and feeling a part of the working farm.

- Ms Laurenece-couzens, June 2018
“The cottage was fantastic, a very welcoming and relaxing break.”

Ian and Monica were welcoming and lovely. They offered to show us around the farm to meet all the animals, we were able to have a nosey at a dozen, day old piglets and young ducklings. The cottage also has fantastic views of the Cornish countryside and the farm is situated a short drive from a couple of local towns, tourist attractions and the A30; this made getting to places like Trebah Gardens, St Austell very easy.

- Mr Rushton, May 2018
“Perfect setting for our first holiday with the dog.”

So welcoming on arrival and the house exceeded my expectations

- Miss Ivinson, May 2018
“Lovely people, lovely setting, lovely animals.”

What more could we wish for?

- Mr Wilkins, April 2018
“As we were the first visitors in the cottage it was all bright spanking new and squeaky clean which was great.”

This did however result in a couple of very minor issues which were promptly rectified by Ian with his magic screwdriver. We found both Ian and Monica really helpful, enthusiastic and genuinely keen to get feedback but without being pushy. Monica's welcome pack of home produce went down a treat, as did the complimentary bottle of wine. We think that the layout of the cottage and adjacent farmhouse (also for let) with an adjoining door would be great for larger groups, we never heard a squeak out of our neighbours on our stay, and the view over to the northern hills of Bodmin Moor were something to admire, especially with snow on them. Seven miles from Launceston deep in the Cornish countryside the area is so peaceful and relaxing. We would go back again without hesitation. We wish Monica and Ian much success with their new venture. Jill & John G
