Communication with the owners was great and they were very welcoming. You can have as much or as little interaction with the owners (and farm animals on request!) as you like and watching the ducks and geese waddle round the yard out of the window was an added bonus! The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped and the decor and furnishings were great. The bed was super comfy and the bedding was hotel quality. The attention to detail was superb, with wine, daffodils on the table, eggs from the farm, butter, milk, bread, cream tea, dog treats etc. So thoughtful of the owners, thank you so much, it was very much much appreciated. Really hope to return.

You could almost have eaten off the floor. The owners were so very kind and helpful when we had a problem which was fixed very quickly. On arrival we were met by Ian and made to feel very welcome. There was a loaf of homemade bread, homemade scones, jam and cream and all the makings of a cream tea plus some eggs, a vase of flowers and a bottle of wine. We have never been so well treated. The view from the patio was absolutely delightful. The garden as enclosed so that our 3 dogs could run free and stay safely close by.

"We understand that there are two cottages that can be linked for bigger groups of guests however we felt very uncomfortable using the garden as we could and where being watched by next door."
Also the adjoining door needs some sound proofing as we could hear every conversation from next door and could hear them on several occasions attempting to open the adjoining door.
Thank you for comments. The property does have an adding door which due to the Covid rules regarding shared areas was bricked up, and is insulated on either side. Both doors are locked, so there is no possible way that they would have gained access to you. We clearly state that there is an adding property and we fenced to allow everyone to enjoy the view and provide seclusion. I am sorry you were unhappy with the facilities we provided. Property Owner

"I cannot fault the high spec of West Curry Cottage, the proprietors had taken so much trouble to ensure the comfort, cleanliness and well equipped facility."
The additional little touches left of bread, cream tea, butter, milk, wine were so thoughtful and appreciated. However, when booking I knew it was semi detached, what I didn't know about was the connecting door between the cottage and the farmhouse which had no sound proofing what so ever and we could here everything. Saturday and Sunday was slightly quieter because the family were in the garden. Following Monday nights noise we decided we were not prepared to put up with further evenings like that and decided to leave on Tuesday evening thereby cutting our holiday short by two nights. I will admit to not complaining to the owners about Monday evening as I don't really see what they could have done to avoid repeat incidents. I would strongly suggest that the issue with the connecting door is fully included within the cottage spec so anyone booking in our circumstances will be fully aware that there is no sound proofing between the two properties connecting door.

The only bit of feedback I have ,is the fence which divides the 2 properties to be a solid fence (the rest is fine, just the one down the middle) as if the neighbours have dogs and you do it can create a bit of a problem should either dogs not like other dogs etc. Other than that, the garden is fab with a lovely view and ample size for dogs (we had 3 spaniels) thanks for a fab stay.

"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!
Thank you for your comments. Since the Covid situation, we have bricked up the adjoining door in line with shared spaces, and the insulation previously there has been enhanced. The fencing is livestock fencing to keep our animals out of the gardens, however if a dog wants to they can escape from almost anywhere. we have taken on board your comments and improved the fencing.

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!

"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.
