  Peaceful, tranquil, relaxing, restful.

  ... Just a few adjectives to describe our holiday village experience at 'Watergate Bay'. Thank you for the friendly and helpful welcome and everything you might need to get you started for a peaceful break in Cornwall. The fixtures, fittings and decor are clean and up to date, had everything we needed. It's a real shame that the 'sofa and bed' comfort needs addressing and possibly changing as they do let the side down a bit. Having mobility and disability issues, our comfort is essential and we had difficulty rising out of the sofa without assistance. May we suggest that when you up date the seating arrangements at Westgate Bay, please consider the comfort for the less able. Perhaps replace one of the 'big' old sofas by introducing a couple of high backed chairs with arms which would help those with less able issues. The bathroom facilities are modern with a walk in shower but the introduction of a grab rail would make showering safer. "We'll remember to request a portable shower seat and toilet rail next time we visit". Also, we would suggest that the toilet roll holder be relocated, it was a bit too close to the loo for comfort - (but that was just a little 'quibble'). We have to make a special mention about the very friendly wild life. Every morning we were introduced to an amiable little Robin who would tap on the patio window to ask for his breakfast. He would even take crumbs from your hand. The 'little stream' sound effects were also a pleasant feature and added to the outside morning coffee experience. On the whole, we were very happy with our stay and will keep 'Westgate Bay' and Rosecraddoc Holiday Village in mind for our next 'tranquil' Cornwall get away. The middle county location of the holiday village makes easy access to experience all aspects and areas of Cornwall.

  We have just come back from our break at Brook Haven, having had a fantastic holiday.

  Such a lovely cottage to stay at. Really nice site too. In terms of location, it is only a short drive to Looe beach (around 10miles) and only a 2 minute drive to Aldi/Morrisons/Costa for any essentials. The town centre is only 5mins away too. The owner was so friendly when we arrived and made sure we had everything we needed - also making sure that we knew to contact her if there were any problems at all. The welcome pack of shortbread and milk was a really nice touch too! The property was spotless. The beds were incredibly comfy too and shower/bathroom facilities were great. The reclining couches were great to sit in at the end of the day and watch TV. It felt like the owners had planned for everything you'd need with this cottage, such as hoover; iron; washing machine; torches (for night-time walking); clothes dryer/pegs etc. The tv had Freeview and a DVD player built-in and there were a selection of DVDs for both adults/kids, along with books/board games - another nice touch. We connected to the WiFi as well during our stay. I'm always a bit wary when booking a holiday online, in case it doesn't live up to expectation, however I would genuinely recommend this property to anybody who is thinking of booking a holiday to Cornwall. We all loved our stay at Brook Haven and wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back again soon. Andy, Helen and Jamie.

  What a little gem!

  Watergate Bay is in the most beautiful surroundings, gorgeous views, with a clear, flowing stream just at the back. Over the stream we had neighbours in the form of cows, who would come for a chat! The cottage itself was perfect. Plenty of room and all the equipment needed to have a good stay. I have to say also that it was spotlessly clean. Immaculate. We booked at quite short notice and there wasn’t much available in our price range and that met our criteria, we usually stay in Cawsand on the coast, so inland was a departure but we weren’t disappointed with this find. I went for it as there is a fishing lake literally a couple of hundred yards away over a quiet lane that is a part of the holiday village. You pay a fee, daily or weekly. At a total of £45 for my husband and son for a week’s fishing, you can’t go wrong.My son was in heaven. Such a gorgeous lake set in a tranquil landscape. The fish were super healthy and the whole area, like our cottage, was immaculate. Dogs must be kept on a lead but there is an area of woodland just up the road where they can be let off, another plus! We came home and have booked for next year already. Back at the coastal cottage we use in October too. Have to say that we only use Sykes. The whole experience is stress free and descriptions have always been bang on.

  Another fantastic week.

  Our cottage was absolutely spotless, as usual! Everything we needed was provided. Thank you so much Julie and the wonderful team who look after the cottages and make them so fresh to move into! We hadn't planned on doing too much, this week was about relaxing but we were never at a loss. A great place to chill, watch a film or read as it's so quiet, just the sound of the stream....wonderful. The view from the back of the cottage, second to none. We never tire of looking at it. This time we had lambs and their mums keeping us company and the stunning oak takes centre stage. Magical. A fantastic location, 5 minutes from Liskeard and whatever shops you need. Beautiful fishing lake across the lane. The charge for fishing is very reasonable and the fish are in great condition (my fisherman son loves it). He fishes while I read, it's such a tranquil and pretty place and immaculate too. You're less than a half hour from the coast and 15 minutes from the Tamar bridge should you want to cross it and go to Plymouth or further. We try not to! It's not nice to leave Kernow! Go west! We come back to Watergate Bay every year and this year, twice, as we've just booked for September. It feels like a real escape.

  Another brilliant stay at Watergate Bay.

  Firstly, I'd like to say a massive thank you to Julie and the other ladies who cleaned before we went in. The cottage was spotless. Really top notch. It's a wonderful place to stay. Quiet, chilled and in the most gorgeous surroundings. The view from the back of the cottage is second to none. Well equipped, comfortable beds, again, spotless. Lovely fresh bed linen. Wi-Fi doesn't bother us but we have a 15 year old son and he is always happy with the speed of it here. Also, for me a real advantage, the washing machine, a brilliant thing indeed! With Liskeard so close by for essentials, wonderful pubs: The Crow's Nest (our favourite), The Plough at Duloe and if you don't mind a drive through the best scenery in the world, The Cobweb Inn at Boscatle, to name a few. Fishing at the lake was wonderful. My son is a mad keen angler and loved it. The fish are in great condition and it's the perfect place for parents to chill. Bake lakes, just off the Trerulefoot roundabout are fantastic if you want to fish different lakes. A brilliant stay. As usual. Back in March, can't wait. Thank you!!
