  Had a wonderful time at Groom cottage.

  It’s a very cute cottage within a complex of cottages. It has all you need and was really well equipped. Susan the owner was lovely, the only problem we had was a broken clothes airer which she replaced immediately. She also provided us with beach chairs and a windbreaker which was fab! The shared pool was brilliant, we used every day, the kids play area was popular with my eldest, but good to know you cannot see the play area from Groom Cottage. The local area is lovely would particularly recommend sandymouth beach ant Tintagel Castle. The cottage is small, the bedrooms are a decent size but living space is small so was a bit of a squeeze for 4 of us. The outside space is very cute with 2 small courtyard style gardens and a front patio. The courtyard gardens are filled with plants and very private which is nice. The front patio is more spacious and less private. The one and only thing I would change would be to add black out roller blinds to the upstairs bedroom windows so you have the option to use them. The south facing light comes in very early in summer, for a lot or people this is no problem but if like me I get woken up by light very easily. But that is the only thing. We had a wonderful stay and we were blessed with amazing weather. Would recommend.

  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.

  Groom Cottage is a delightful and charming old farm cottage.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here even though the weather was quite dismal . The facilities were kept meticulously clean - including use of the shared, heated pool and it’s changing rooms , children’s playground and use of the shared playroom. The kitchen was well equipped in this characterful cottage . The beds were comfortable and the pretty sunroom was a lovely room to eat in. We enjoyed our visit to Bude and would recommend the Preston’s Arms in the very attractive ancient village of Poughill less than half a mile away. We would love to return for another holiday , thank you
