  Good size enclosed garden with patio furniture. Large parking area with no passing traffic as the cottage is at the end of the lane. A pleasant welcome from the owner who lives in the next cottage who we didn’t see for the rest of our visit but was on hand if needed. If dog friendly peace and quiet is what you like then this is the place for you.

• "Shepherd’s Rest is everything you could wish for in a holiday cottage."

  Comfortable, clean, and in a peaceful location. Everything we needed was provided (with the bonus of a complimentary cream tea), and we had a lovely stay there. The only suggestion for improvement I can make is that a sharp knife or two would have made food preparation (for those who wish to cook & eat in) a lot easier! All in all though, Shepherd’s Rest is a beautiful cottage which I can honestly highly recommend.

  Delighted you enjoyed your stay at Shepherds Rest, sorry I didn't see you to say goodbye, hope you had a pleasant journey home. I will make sure the knives are sharpened before our next guests arrive! Best wishes John and Judith. Property Owner

  The owners were always available if we needed any assistance but also respected our privacy and let us just get on with it. All rooms are very comfortable and the good quality heating system really helped considering this was out of season. The enclosed garden (there are a few gaps for small dogs to get through) was first class and gave us plenty of space to exercise the dogs. Location is also very good being near to Tintagel, Boscastle and Bude and we enjoyed going to the disused airfield at Jacobstow (dogs loved it).

• "A lovely comfortable cottage, in a quiet but not too remote location down a short unmade track, with absolutely everything that's needed for a great holiday."

  The garden was secure and a good size for my dogs, and was furnished with a couple of sun loungers and table and chairs - a great spot for soaking up the sun or eating. The kitchen was really well equipped, with plenty of crockery and cutlery, pots, pans etc. and the sitting room was comfy with a good TV and great working wifi. The bed was comfortable - although would have benefitted from some new pillows - they were a bit hard and flat - although I guess that's down to personal preference. The bathroom was equipped with a good powerful shower over the bath. The whole cottage was spotlessly clean when I arrived. Although there were no footpaths for dog walking in the near vicinity of the cottage, great walking can be found only a short drive away at Bude, Widemouth Bay, or Davidstow Moor. The only slight thing I would worry about is if the weather was rainy - which often happens in Cornwall - the stress of trying to clean muddy dogs before they get on the lovely cream carpet! The owners live next door, and it was good to know they were there if needed, but otherwise you're left to your own privacy. I would definitely recommend this as a lovely place to stay and I would book again if I was staying in the area.

• "The cottage was clean and tidy with a well equipped kitchen."

  The garden was huge which was great for our toddler & dog. The owners were friendly and helpful and were just next door which was useful if you needed anything. The utility area was handy as well as the washing machine (many places don’t have one so we really valued it!). The only thing I would say is that there isn’t anywhere to walk from the cottage, as the roads don’t have paths and aren’t really safe to walk on with a young family and dog (narrow roads with blind bends). This was a shame as it would have been nice to explore the area on foot. I wouldn’t say this as a negative comment as it can’t be altered, it sort of is what it is! But rather I felt I should point it out to make other families aware who book in the future. We spent quite a lot of time in Bude, which is lovely to walk around, so there are plenty of places to go nearby - you just have to drive to get there!

  Off the beaten track at the end of a hamlet of cottages /houses. Had all the stuff you might want and more. Hosts were very friendly and helpful but also allowed you to enjoy your holiday in peace and quiet. The garden was great for kids and dogs(if you had an escape dog there are some very small gaps-it's a thick well established hedge which leads onto farm land and farmers track. But ours were more then happy to stay in the garden. Some Toys/dvd for outside and rainy days. North Cornwall is dog friendly pretty much everywhere, so cottage very well positioned for great beaches (Bude has several beaches) and places to visit with the whole family - Tintagel and Boscastle to name a few are about 20 mins to half an hour away. There is no phone reception for those that require it but this can be over come with WiFi calling if needs must or just enjoy the silence. Main bedroom is a bit of a squeeze but lovely big bed and the size of room was never a problem for us. Living room/kitchen is lovely and so is the twin room. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  Yes the owners may live next door but they never bother you unless they see you out and about and may just stop for a chat. The home is lovely, clean and tidy and all needs are catered for when it comes to comfort. Apart from food obviously nothing is needed for the kitchen as everything from dishwasher tablets to Fairy washing powder are provided. The shower is amazing and the beds are really comfy. The garden was ideal for our dog and was secluded.. Yes this house is also on a working farm as the owners are the farmers, but you would never have known as there is no disruption to the peace and quiet you get here. It is ideally situated to visit Bude which is about 7 miles away and the surrounding area. About 4 miles away is a little place called Crackington Haven we used to take our dog there at the end of the day so that she could have a swim in the sea and the big stream leading down to the sea. This home is lovely if you are looking for a quiet get away but not a million miles away from the beach and beautiful countryside. The owner does provide you with a Cornish Cream Tea on arrival, but I was not sure if bread rolls were part of that tea instead of scones which is what we had !! But it really was a lovely thought after a long journey from our home. All in all would we stay here again ABSOLUTELY.

  Also a most welcome cream tea waiting for us on arrival. Near the beautiful beaches, especially Bude and Bodmin Moor. The owners were very welcoming and friendly, would thoroughly recommend this holiday home.

  We really re-charged our batteries and didn't need to go far for the beach. Our dogs loved the enclosed back garden and we loved the complimentary cream tea that our host had provided for us. Highly recommend this cottage if it is peace and tranquillity you crave.

  The cottage has everything you need. My husband and I stayed for a week with our dog. She loved the garden and surrounding beaches.

• "This cottage is located at the end of a short but rough, unmade road and is attached to the main building, which had once been a farmhouse."

  The area is really quiet and peaceful; no traffic noise, just the occasional tractor. The building has been skilfully renovated to provide a good two bed-roomed accommodation with a delightful, good-sized lounge and well-equipped breakfast-kitchen. The garden is mainly wild grass, kept short, and is good for dogs and there is plenty of parking space. There is a small patio with four chairs and table should you wish to dine or breakfast or snack outside. Heating if required is very good and efficient and there is free wi-fi, a generously sized television and a DVD player for entertainment during inclement weather. Shops are a good distance away as are restaurants and/or public houses. Bude is probably the best place to eat out without travelling a long distance. I would say the place is comfortable for two to have a really nice, cozy break, maybe a romantic break. More than two and it might get a bit crowded, but it will sleep four in the two bedrooms. Ideal for all-year-round holidays.
