  Lovely, comfy, clean cottage, everything you need for a home from home stay.

  We didn't have good weather and was lovely to come back to a warm cosy cottage to dry off (airer provided for wet clothes) and relax. Outside space is great for sitting out and checking out the view of the surrounding countryside (weather permitting) and enclosed for your dog/children to be safe. Kitchen fully equipped for cooking or just warming your take away in the oven or microwave. Sofa has recliners which is such a bonus when been out walking all day. The bed was really comfy great bedding and pillows (the only issue was the frame was a bit 'squeaky' something the owners are probably not aware of but didn't disturb us too much). The cottage is well decorated and has beautiful artwork all around which we learnt was all the owners work. The only thing we felt was missing was somewhere to put your toilet bag in the bathroom – there is plenty of room to put a shelf or small table All in all this is a fabulous cottage as a base to explore and the owners go above and beyond providing more than you would expect when you arrive, from extra loo rolls to the award winner bottle of cider in the fridge, tea, coffee, sugar, a fabulous cream tea and fresh flowers on the table. Lots of books to read, games to play and even your four legged friend is not forgotten as they even have a puzzle for them to do too! Would we recommend this cottage to family/friends? We already have and will be back.

  This cottage was perfect for our family of three, including our six year old.

  It's safe, very comfortable and we loved the art! The owners are a lovely couple, quick to respond and gave us ideas for what to do in the area. It rained a lot during our stay so we didn't get to sit outside much, which was a shame because the views are indeed gorgeous. It was a little bit hard to find the turning off the main road in the night, we checked in late. The trick is to point your GPS to 'The Travellers Rest'. The shower room is downstairs, not on the 1st floor - so we did have to go downstairs in the night, not a problem for us but may be an issue for some. It's a comfortable little cottage - the shower has good, strong pressue - much better than in my house! Lots of electricity plugs, all the lights worked, nice to have bedside tables and lamps. Lots of storage space in both bedrooms. It was our first trip to Bridport, what a lovely town. We went to the markets on Saturday and it was glorious, so many stalls and shops, people, music etc - really great markets. We will come back with more friends next time and hire a couple of cottages.

  We had a lovely stay in Elm Cottage with our small dog, Norton.

  The cottage had everything we could need and was well equipped. It was warm and clean and very comfortable. We had the sun rise to the front and sun set to the rear of the cottage. Quite special. There was a lovely wooded area at the bottom of the site which we hadn't expected, which we all enjoyed. There was a good sized slabbed area with a drying line to the rear of the property and views out over the fields. If a larger dog we to stay here, guests would have to be vigilant about the dog managing to go over the back fence. However, a more substantial barrier would have spoiled the very enjoyable views. Vose Farm was well situated for our travels around this part of Cornwall. We were approximately 1 mile away from The Crown Inn, St Ewe where we had an evening meal. Our dog was made welcome. We were approx 6-8 miles from The Polgooth Inn, Polgooth which was a very busy pub (you might wish to book a table), where we and our dog were made very welcome. We had a very comfortable and happy stay at Vose Farm and have no hesitation in recommending this holiday venue.

  We recently stayed at Elm Cottage in Cornwall and it was an absolute pleasure.

  The cottage is purpose built, but it still feels like a home away from home. The owner welcomed us shortly after our arrival and made sure that everything was in order before leaving us to enjoy our stay. The cottage was immaculate and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The underfloor heating kept us warm and cozy in December, and the powerful shower had plenty of hot water. The cottage was comfortable and not overlooked, so we had plenty of privacy. We had great views from the back of the cottage. The wooded outdoor area was perfect for a quick doggie leg stretch. The cottage is dog friendly, rather than just dog tolerant. The only thing that would have made it even better would be a higher rear fence in the back garden as our labradoodle was able to clear it. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Elm Cottage and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-equipped home away from home in Cornwall.

  A gloriously peaceful Christmas week in Elm Cottage with gorgeous surroundings.

  Well located for exploring the coast. Cottage was spotlessly clean and beautifully finished. Very dog friendly and family friendly with the play park and nearby woodland for walks. We have no particular accessibility needs ourselves but nevertheless very much appreciated the wet room and accessible parking. It would be useful to have a “welcome pack” of types with info of the local area (takeaway, doctors etc), user guide for the oven and instructions on what to do with bedding, towels etc at departure. Although there was cleaning equipment, some products (even just some wipes) would be helpful and enable guests to keep on top of the cleanliness (especially after cooking Christmas dinner!). A couple of teabags & a pint of milk to get you started would also be a nice touch to save the need to get out to the shops immediately after arrival. These are very small niggles though and we would very much like to return to Vose Farm in future.
