• "This was a comfortable property with good facilities."

  Comfortable beds, good linen, lovely fluffy towels. In a very quiet rural spot. Really dog friendly.

  Thank you for leaving us lovely feedback Susan. We love how quiet we are, yet how near we are to Looe and Polperro and the easy peasy access to the main routes through Cornwall. No narrow lanes with grass in the middle to find us here at Cardwen Farm Holiday Cottages! Property Owner

  Nice place, liked it alot, Only thing I didn't like was given 2 sacks for us to take of the bed sheets of duvet, For the price I paid I was shocked that I had todo that chor, Found it rather rude to be honest,

  Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback, we do appreciate it! So pleased to hear that you liked Lily Cottage. We do ask all our guests to place their linen into zipped laundry bags and are very grateful to all our guests who, until this point, have been happy to do so. We learned a lot from Covid and have taken this step to protect our hard working local Mums who help with the changeovers. Three times in the past they have been exposed to situations we would not choose for them whilst stripping beds. We place great importance on hygiene not only for our valued guests, but for our team members also. I believe this is reflected in our high cleanliness scores consistently achieved with our feedback. We are confident we are not the only self catering accommodation providers to take this step. Thank you for your comments, Siobhan. Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage in fabulous gardens."

  Very helpful hosts. Only downside no storage space in en-suite bedroom.

  Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. The ensuite bedroom has wall mounted hanging space with many wooden hangers, and a fold away rack for suitcases. I will however, look further into storage solutions. The other bedrooms have excessive storage, as well as a really generous living space with storage too. The thick stone walls of this historic barn conversion have dictated the bedroom sizes, but we feel that the bags of charm and character in the beautiful setting and stunning views across the 2 acre gardens from the window help to balance out the room. We look forward to welcoming you back to Cardwen Farm Holiday Cottages soon! Property Owner

• "Lovely place."

  Spacious for a family of 4 with 3 nice sized bedrooms and a big open living space upstairs. Well appointed. Lovely location on the edge of a little village. Also close to national trust beaches (Lantic Bay) which were very special and other interesting things. Owners were very responsive and helpful if we needed them. Would highly recommend. Only small thing was that dogs couldn't run free in the backyard because of ponds etc but not a big issue for us.

  The cottage was very clean and comfortable and the owner was extremely helpful and quick to respond when we had a query. We were able to relax in the cottage but also appreciated its location as we were able to visit lots of places in the local area. I would definitely stay here again - thank you!

  Charlotte thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such lovely feedback. Here at Cardwen Farm Holiday Cottages we take the importance of precious holidays very seriously and want to make sure everyone has an exceptional stay with us here in Cornwall. We love the location too, there is so much to do nearby, as well as easy access to the A38 and A30 for our guests who enjoy travelling further into Cornwall.

• "We had a wonderful week at Lily cottage a perfect retreat."

  Very quiet and relaxing. Our children loved the barn owl camera and were lucky enough to see the 3 baby owls as well as the parents feeding them. Amazing! If I had to offer improvement advice I would say the dishwasher was a bit smelly so we didn't use it but honestly we were so sad to leave and my daughter was crying. Pickle the pug also had a lovely week. Thank you Shiobhan and family.

  Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us here at Cardwen Farm Holiday Cottages. The two Owl Box cameras that feeds to the TV in the lounge are very popular with everyone, it so lovely to get children engaged in nature also. I did have a look at the dishwasher and had our housekeeping team also have a sniff, we couldn't detect anything bad, we think possibly the dishwasher may not of been run for some time? As we were unable to find anything when we did the next changeover we can only theorise that from previous bookings the smaller number of occupants in the cottage perhaps did not run it for a while possibly leaving a slightly stale aroma?? Nevertheless we have throughly cleaned the dishwasher anyway, and run several high temperature washes to be sure. We have checked in with guests since who are happy with the dishwasher. We will continue to keep a close eye on all our appliances, as we always aim for a very high level of cleanliness. A weekly sniff check has been added! I live here on site and always encourage all our guests to let me know as soon as they find something they need to draw to my attention too as I am always happy to rectify any issues immediately so that all our guests are able to enjoy their precious holidays - using all facilities - with us to the fullest.

• "This is a beautiful, well equipped holiday cottage, set in gorgeous share grounds and within easy reach of Looe and Polperro."

  The owl cam was a real treat, with 3 chicks and two adults in the nest we could have spent the whole holiday watching them. We'd done a lot of advance planning, but the information folder gave us some local recommendations that we're really glad we didn't miss out on. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for the owners (tick removal included) and we had a fabulous stay. It just wasn't long enough!

  Well thank you very much indeed for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback. It was a memorable stay! We adore watching the barn owls too, a real privilege. We hope to welcome you back to Cardwen Farm Holiday Cottages one day. Property Owner

  Good location to get places. Really clean and well equipped. The host was friendly and on hand to answer questions etc. One of our high spots was to watch the nesting owls in the roof linked up to the television. Will be back.

  It was lovely to have you here Sally and we look forward to seeing you again. We have been spending more and more time ourselves watching the Owls recently as they are (as I write this) now sat on 5 eggs - we cant wait to watch them hatch! Property Owner

• "We had a very good week thanks to our friendly and attentive hosts."

  We found their cottage very comfortable and well equipped however, we would like to raise a couple of small points as suggestions for further improvement: we feel a little more attention to the finer detail e.g. dust on all flat surfaces was apparent - probably due to the regular use of log burner; de-frosting of freezer & disposal of previous users food stuffs. There was certainly more than enough books and toys to entertain occupiers on a rainy day - even a resident owl for watching on the TV screen!

  Thank you for the kind comments. We are sorely disappointed to hear that you found a couple of things that were not up to the very high standard we set ourselves at Cardwen Farm. Preceding your stay we used a different cleaning company on a one off occasion and have passed on your comments - along with our own. We pride ourselves on providing spotless accommodation and regret placing this in the hands of someone different. This is the first time we have had this feedback. We are always more than happy for any guest to approach us on site if there are any issues. We will do our upmost to resolve anything immediately. We are also sorry to hear that you found unwelcome items in the freezer, this again has been passed to the housekeeping team at the time. We do however deliberately leave bags of ice in the freezer for the convenience of our guests. Owl TV has proven very popular with all our visitors and we hope to welcome you back again.
