  • "The only thing we found wanting was the lack of properly comfortable seating to watch t."

    V., (we are close to our eighties!). Otherwise everything was brilliant.

    So pleased you enjoyed your stay at Tritchayne. Apologies if you didn’t find the sofa and chairs suitable. Best wishes John Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay at the bull pen."

    Very good location for the main seaside towns. Lovely walks with the dog and a paddock on site for a quick walk with the dog. They left cream tea and milk on arrival which was a nice gesture. Only thing to point out to owner was the dvd player didn’t work. Other than that a lovely stay and would like to return out of season to use the cosy log burner.
