  Cottage location was excellent as a base. We were travelling as a family of 5 with a small dog. Chose this accommodation as identified secure outside area so our dog could be let out but unfortunately this was not the case so had to keep our dog on a lead in garden which was disappointing. Also would be good for fence around pond for safety. Cottage could be so much more if more attention to detail. Update summer house and seating, put seats on balcony and just a really good deep clean and replacement of plates/cups and general equipment. Luckily we brought our own toilet rolls as only provided 1 in each toilet and brought own essential such as washing up liquid etc as very little provided. Owner was very responsive to our queries as the tv upstairs was not working and was promptly replaced within a couple of days. Live TV not available which would be useful for this to be advertised. We knew we would need own login for Netflix.

  The whole family loved our stay.

  The house was spacious and we didn't feel cramped at all, also lovely and light. Plenty of outside space for four very active grandchildren, who loved the garden and watching the rabbits who came into the garden every morning and watching the sheep in the field behind the garden. The garden has enough space for a gentle kick about with a ball which the children loved, plenty of car parking on the driveway. The area is very quite with some really lovely gentle walks locally. The beaches, which are very good are no more than about ten minutes drive away with restaurants and toilets, eccentrical with small children. We especially loved Summerleaze beach in Bude, huge beach with seawater swimming pool, also lovely little rock pools on the beach for the very small members of the family, even some of the older members of the family! Would go again anytime. Thanks to the very helpful owners.

  The cottage itself was nice and the beds were comfortable with nice fresh bedding.

  Unfortunately we couldn't open a window or any of the doors because of the amount of flies that kept getting in. I can only assume because the cow sheds are right next door the fly problem was due to that but it was horrible, they're we're hundreds buzzing round permanent it really ruined the accommodation for us. The roads getting to the farm were more like wide footpaths and became quite a nuisance, it felt everywhere was so far away and we couldn't hang out at the cottage because of the flies. Overall the cottage itself was nice but location was too isolated and the farm itself was not somewhere you wanted to hang out. The farmer was lovely and helpful though, he seems a really nice guy.

  The Shippon is part of a group of barns converted into holiday accommodation on a working farm so in the winter expect farmyard smells!

  It has a large open plan ground floor with a well equipped kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the showers a decent size. Parking is immediately in front of the accommodation which has a dual aspect overlooking open fields to the front and a courtyard with shrubs, seating and washing lines to the rear. It’s quiet and peaceful yet only a few miles from Bude. It is accessed via typical Cornish lanes; single track road for about 2.5 miles with steep banks, high hedges and limited passing places but once you reach the farm you have open views over the countryside. Very pleasant stay and the farmer was friendly and welcoming.

  The Shipping was fantastic in a rural location, working farm.

  Just a couple of minor tweaks could make this place superb. The matresses are tired and need upgrading. This is really important for a restful family holiday. All the beds had springs that could be felt quite prominently. Hot water was an issue and the water pressure was extremely low. Needed an outside hose to clean down wetsuits as in a coastal surfing location . We still had a great time and the farm was great, Jonathan the farmer was very friendly and visited several times. Walking in the area is beautiful. But it needs a few changes to make it superb. We would come back for sure.
