  The accomadation was excellent! Lovely and clean and the price was very competitive. The situation was ideal for exploring the particular area of Cornwall. We look forward to perhaps returning in the future.

• "My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Leghorn (13-20 Sep 2024)."

  The accommodation is furnished to a high standard and was very clean and comfortable. We loved that the location is extremely quiet and peaceful with a sea view, from the front of the property, but within easy reach of many attractions. The provision of a cream tea on arrival was a lovely touch - thank you. The only suggestions we would make would be to provide a toilet brush, and maybe a little more information on the local area, for example, recommendations for places to eat or visit etc. Although this information is available on the internet, it would have been nice to browse through a folder. Overall, excellent accomodation in a beautiful setting to which we would happily return.

  Literally about 5 mins drive from the Eden Project. Would come here again.

• "The property was very clean and comfortable; the cream tea left for our arrival was a lovely touch."

  The hot tub was just what was needed after a day of exploring and Gray Farm is an excellent base to explore the whole of Cornwall. I would definitely recommend Leghorn and hopefully we'll return soon.

• "This property is well furnished with comfortable furniture and beds, good pillows and bedding."

  The kitchen is well equipped with all the essentials. It is smaller than the pictures makes it appear and we had dog crates with us which makes it quite cramped. There is also some mould on the grouting in the shower and round the window in the bathroom. The welcome pack consists of a packet of Tesco scones, clotted cream and jam. I am gluten and lactose intolerant, the owners obviously did not know but in this day and age with vegetarians, vegans and intolerances couldn’t help feeling it could be more imaginative. The patio doors from the garden go through the bedroom, it was very wet when we stayed and I was terrified a wet, muddy dog would jump on the bed, with careful manoeuvring they didn’t but there was no mop available in the property to wash the floors. We had asked to take 3 dogs via Sykes which the owner agreed to. We did have issues regarding the washing machine and dryer, it was a very wet week when we were there and each time we went to use the washer or drier they were both in use with big notices on them telling us not to remove whatever was in them, there was a contact number, when phoned no one answered, we didn’t bother leaving a message. The hot tub shed is kept locked, which means in effect you have to get permission to use it by asking for the key, which I didn’t. There is nothing in the property about the local area, walks or activities, no leaflets or maps. There is also nothing for if the weather is bad, there are no games, books or playing cards. Due to circumstances I spent a lot of time on my own in the property but had fortunately taken books with me. We did have some issues regarding the adjoining door between properties, we had booked both, I would suggest you get very clear assurances from Sykes and the owner about the arrangements you require before booking.

• "Cottage was lovely."

  Modern and clean with everything you need. The owner welcomed us with scones jam and clotted cream which was delightful. The bed was super comfy. The TV had netflix which was a bonus. The hot tub was located next door in a small stone built building...all enclosed and private which was a lovely end to our days out. The only negative that we could think of was that there was no toilet brush. Other than that we had no complaints and had a lovely time

  Leghorn was spotlessly clean, and contained everything you could need for a self catering get away. The beds were very comfortable, and bedding top quality. Beautiful, quiet surroundings, and wonderful hosts. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

  Jane & Paul were fabulous hosts and made us and our dogs very welcome. There is a large enclosed garden which was great for our dogs. The private jacuzzi was an added bonus. The views from the cottage are magnificent and the online photos don’t do it justice. We would definitely recommend particularly if you have dogs.

  Hearing the livestock of the farm when there was nice & added to the tranquility of our staying here. We walked to the Eden project from here, which only took us 30 minutes. Never found the pub, but we were never bothered about that. However, everything you need is only a short 10 min drive from here.

• "A lovely barn conversion with a stunning view."

  Clean and bright with attractive coastal pictures, good heating, appliances and furniture. We enjoyed coastal walks and the bus services in the area are excellent allowing you to walk between villages and catch the bus back. Looe to Polperro, Spit Beach to Fowey are very good and you can also walk from Spit Beach to Charlestown (small free car park near the rail line). Hot tub was an added bonus and was very clean. Welcome cream tea was appreciated and the owner received our grocery delivery as we arrived later than anticipated.

  A very clean and comfortable accommodation, fine for us as a couple but good for 4 guests. The hot tub really was a great bonus and we used on each of the 6 days, great after being out walking etc. Excellent location for Eden Project, 20 min walk, or the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Fowey or wider afield. Pleasant walks nearby including the Coastal Path and our hosts information helpful and borrowing maps and the weather was good.

• "We fell in love with the cottage, area and Cornwall."

  Leghorn is a five star cottage with fluffy white towels, white bed linen, peace and tranquillity. It is immaculately clean, we took our two small dogs and assumed they would smell other dogs, there was no doggie smell at all. The owner is on hand if needed but basically let’s you get on and enjoy your holiday. We had fresh eggs from the farm and wish we had bought more to bring home. Eggs delivered to our door! Each cottage has its own hot tub, ours was in the barn with a great sea view from the open stable door. We had the key to the barn which meant we pleased ourselves when we used it. We were entertained evenings by the goat and sheep, horses and cows. The Eden project is within walking distance though a lovely country walk which takes approx 20 minutes. Easy reach to the rest of Cornwall. I can not recommend this place enough, we will definitely be returning. Thank you Leghorn for the lovely memories we’ve made.

• "We had an absolutely amazing time here at Leghorn."

  The cottage is stunning and decorated to a high standard. Everything you need is on hand to help you with your self catering stay from a dishwasher, microwave and oven down to a bottle opener. The double room and ensuite toilet/shower is down stairs and the twin room with ensuite/bath is upstairs. There is plenty of space for a family of four. The cream tea waiting for us on our arrival was a beautiful gesture. The owners were on hand to help us with any queries not that we had very many. The hot tub was a god send after a busy day visiting family and places. The cottage has some spectacular sea views and is central to many attractions. We had some very peaceful nights sleeps too in very comfortable beds. We will definitely be visiting this little gem very very soon. Also loved meeting the grumpy goat who visited every evening.

  Warm welcome from cottage owners and loved the resident goat. My only comment is that the listing states the cottage has an enclosed/secure garden area but it is open to the rest of the property, just could be tricky for some people with furry friends but ours loved the extra freedom :)

  The owners were very helpful and gave us tips on the surrounding area. We also enjoyed the hot tub which was not shared. Only we are allowed to use it. We also had the most incredible weather for the whole week. I’d recommend Caerys beach ( Porthluney) if you have a dog. It’s a lovely Lottie beach with a big car park and lovely food at the beach bar. We also loved the fish bbq in the evening.

  The barn is perfectly placed to see Cornwall, we enjoyed day trips to Truro, Port Issac and Newquay. The owners were extremely welcoming but respected our privacy, we didn't feel at anytime as though we were sharing a property which was really nice. The 2 fields to walk the dog on the farm had beautiful views over the bay and our dog enjoyed his early morning walk there. Par beach was great for walking the dog and was never crowded, just a 5 minute drive away. Overall we could not fault it.

  However , after giving the owner an opportunity to financially compensate us for the lack of facilities- and being offered £15- I decided to. Upon arrival at the cottage we were told that the hot tub would not be ready until the next evening. We were incredibly disappointed as it was only a 2 night stay and we had only booked this particular cottage owing to it having the hot tub. We had taken our children kayaking and had promised them an evening in the tub. In addition to this the hot tub is housed in a roofed, dark, musty stone outhouse .
