Guests say
Granary Cottage offers a charming and peaceful retreat in a beautiful rural setting, close to the coastal path and surrounded by friendly neighbours and animals. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, fresh eggs on arrival, and the tranquil atmosphere. While some found the property clean and welcoming, others noted areas needing improvement, such as dated furnishings and occasional maintenance issues. The location is a highlight, providing easy access to scenic walks and countryside. Overall, the cottage provides a relaxing base for exploring the area, with its rustic character and lovely surroundings standing out.
Opinions on cleanliness are mixed. Some guests found the cottage clean and tidy, while others reported needing to clean kitchenware and noticed mould in certain areas. The overall impression is that cleanliness is adequate but could be improved.
The location is widely praised for its tranquillity, proximity to the coastal path, and beautiful countryside. Most guests found it ideal for a peaceful getaway, though one guest mentioned difficulty finding the nearby beach.
Guests appreciated the comfortable beds and peaceful setting. However, several reviews mention old and uncomfortable furniture, particularly the sofa, and towels that were too small for bathing or beach use.
Facilities are basic, with some guests noting the lack of a washing machine, limited cleaning products, and dated interiors. Maintenance issues such as a loose toilet seat and bathroom taps were mentioned, though some problems were resolved promptly.
Guests enjoyed the welcome pack of fresh eggs, though it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed. The property is dog-friendly, but some guests felt more could be done, such as providing dog bowls and larger towels.

These two 17th century stone, barn conversions are located in the owners’ grounds, and sit in a secluded spot, just yards away from the South West Coastal Path and the picturesque Millendreath Beach, which is close to Looe on Cornwall’s beautiful south coast. Millendreath has a licenced café providing local ales and home-cooked food right on the sand. Just a mile away is another beach at Seaton, with a local pub and beach bar, another great day out for families and couples alike. The resort of Looe is home to famous fish markets which are supplied daily with fresh fish from the day boats that leave the quaint working harbour. Walk the lanes that lead to the harbour and wide expanse of golden sand, buy some fresh seafood for a special meal or visit one of the multitudes of restaurants that the town offers.
The coastal path passes close to the property and provides beautiful walks and views along the dramatic coastline. Polperro is a quaint, historic fishing village, just a short distance away from the coast. There are numerous cycle routes around the area and many surfing spots along the coast. Various tourist attractions are nearby, including The Monkey Sanctuary, many National Trust houses and gardens along with golf courses to visit. The Adrenalin Quarry is a must for the adventurous and it is only a short drive away. The Eden Project is also within easy driving distance and it provides an exceptional day out, as does Padstow, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and Fowey, a picturesque seafaring town providing sailing, kayaking and pleasure trips along the River Fowey.
Deep sea fishing and other water sports can all be enjoyed in Looe, along with woodland and coastal walks nearby. To the east of the town is the historic city of Plymouth, with its National Marine Aquarium, theatres, cinemas, bowling and shopping, which can be reached from the historic village of Kingsand, right into Barbican, while to the west is Fowey, home to the royal sailing regatta and many galleries, shops and restaurants. Cycling, horse riding, golf and go-karting are all nearby. Beach 3½ miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 2½ miles.

Cottage in need of updating not very clean. Whole area looked run down. We never did find the beach advertised as 5 mins away !!?? Nice scenery Beds comfortable. Noted planning notice for cottages to be developed into residential dwellings. Looks like owners are no longer interested in the holiday lettings. Shame.as in lovely area. Felt a bit conned.

Great little collection of 17th to 19th century houses, within great coastal places, comfy beds, clean linen, recycled kitchen units, clean traditional tile floors. Towels are medium, not bath sheets, one each. Take a hand hair towel or beach towel and a few kitchen essentials. Owner seen once and greeted, neighbours with goats and hens are very friendly.Only thing I would say is could the owners ask those staying to clean the pans etc after use, or give them the tools to do it, had to wash all pans before cooking, si if we all did our bit when staying , new visitors wouldn't need to clean. Overall a very good location and cottage, the Granary . Thank you
