• "What a wonderful cottage!"

  So spacious and cosy all at the same time. The farm is a lovely base from which to explore all of Cornwall and Ian and Monica were amazing hosts. We and our two dogs had an amazing stay and would wholeheartedly recommend the cottage or the farm house (we stayed there last year) to anyone.

  Thank you both for the kind feedback. It was a pleasure having you and the pups stay. Hope to see you again soon x Property Owner

  Perfect for a base to explore the local area. Friendly hosts, lovely cream tea, fresh loaf of bread awaiting our arrival. The property was spotlessly clean and well equipped for our week long stay with our 2 spaniels. Looking forward to returning next year.

• "The cottage was amazing with absolutely everything you could need for your stay."

  It was spotlessly clean and the all the furniture was very comfortable. The garden was fully enclosed with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside.it was so lovely to see the pigs & sheep from the garden. Monica & Ian are fantastic hostes who went over and ubove to insure we had a brilliant holiday. The welcome pack was such a lovely touch. The directions given when you get your key collection information are spot on. Obviously it is a working farm in a rural location so is lovely and peaceful. But it's only around 15 minutes drive from the beautiful beaches and town of Bude, or around 10 minutes drive to Launceston where there are several large supermarkets and local amenities. The cottage is very central to Cornwall/Devon so is an ideal place to stay if you like to travel around sightseeing. We will definitely be booking again. As when we arrived we arrive as guests and when we left we felt like friends.

  That is such a lovely review, and yes it was sad to say goodbye. Looking forward to saying hello again soon. We try to make it feel like it is your home whilst you are with us, so pleased you enjoyed your stay, little piglet is sad you didn't take him home with you, think he could see he would be adored Property Owner

• "Great week at Lower West Curry Cottage."

  Monica and Ian are friendly and helpful hosts. Greeted with bread, milk, wine and the ingredients for cream tea. Delicious! Really comfortable and very well equipped cottage. Fantastic views at the back whilst you enjoy a morning coffee or a relaxing evening drink. Sheep, pigs and geese in the fields. Can highly recommend the eggs and sausages available from the farm. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again if we find ourselves in this area in the future.

  The owners are lovely and super helpful. Arriving to find a home made Cornish cream tea was a delight - and blooming delicious. Ideal location for a quiet retreat, we particularly enjoyed the pigs lounging around which you can see from the garden, and the variety of birds that visited the bird feeder which can be enjoyed from the cottage or sitting in the garden. Highly recommend a visit if you enjoy animals and nature.

• "A good sized cottage for two people (and 2 large dogs we had with us)."

  The photos don’t do it enough justice I think, it’s much nicer! The kitchen and dining space is one large room (dual aspect) with plenty of room for dog beds. The living room has an amazing view from the patio doors, onto a small but perfectly sized fenced in lawn, to the countryside beyond. Ideal for those with dogs. All stone flooring downstairs, with the large downstairs toilet/utility room perfect for drying wet dog towels, and the installed stair gate was great. Situated down a very quiet country lane (for brief dog walks) and other walks only a few minutes drive away. Black Rock/Widemouth Bay beaches were also great to visit, even in the Winter! Although we stayed there during a rather wet and windy winter the cottage was lovely and warm with a comfy sofa and fast wifi so all good! Plus was lovely to see the farm animals, a couple of sheep right out the back when we were there, as well as ducks, geese and chickens having a wander around from time to time.

  Thank you for your kind words. I hope to get Sykes to take some new photos, when it stops raining. Lovely to meet you both and the puppies. Hopefully you will return xxx Property Owner

• "I would not recommend that anyone take their pets to this cottage!"

  I took my baby cockatiel - she miraculously escaped her locked cage, and through the closed windows and locked door! The owners wife entered the cottage whilst we were out, without consent.

  To anyone reading this review I am as it states in the property description a livestock farmer. I have just come out of a 10 month period of lockdown due to bird flu. My birds and livelihood like all farmers has been hit. I would never have let anyone bring a bird following the suffering of my own birds. However, I was promised the bird was in a cage and did not fly. I only entered the property to (A) adjust the heating, which was requested by the guest and I was accompanied by my husband (B) After I had called with my concern about the bird, I said I would go and check for the guest the bird was safe. At no time have I ever entered any of our properties without checking first with the guests. The property is not air tight, as it legally requires vents, fans and ventilation bricks all installed for the safety of our guests. I respect the kindness of the Guest for not marking down a beautiful property but I do take issue with the suggestion I entered the property without speaking to them first. Property Owner

Monica and Ian made us feel very welcome and brought round one of the piglets born only recently - there is a nice homely feel about this place. The nearest pub The Stumble Inn is about 1.5 miles and along the main road and serves food Wed/Thu/Fri/Sat evenings and Sunday lunchtimes - the food and drink is excellent.

  Thank you for your review. It was lovely yo meet you. Sadly we do not have any footpaths, with livestock including bulls on our land and our neighbours, it is too big a risk. It is slightly over 1 mile ( 0.9 miles as the crow flies) The walk does involve the B3254 for the first section which is why we do not mention it is walkable, although several previous guests have walked over and staggered back.

• "We had a lovely stay in the cottage with our dogs."

  The location was beautiful and the farm noises and sights were a welcome surprise! We found the bed very comfy and roomy contrary to some other reviews and liked the spacious bathroom. One thing we’d like to mention is the garden and dog situation. Unfortunately nowhere in the holiday description did it mention that our outdoor garden area connects to another one next door. Although fenced this fence is only 4 foot ish tall and the dogs can easily stick their noses through the gaps in the fence as it isn’t solid and can put paws up on top of the fence to become face to face. In fact our neighbours dogs jumped the fence into our garden to then get through to the sheep field on the other side and chase sheep on one occasion! The other thing to mention is the other side of our garden was directly next to a field/ pen with sheep in. This wasn’t an issue for our dogs as they’re well trained and didn’t pay much attention to the sheep but some dogs (like the ones the other side of us) struggled with this as again our dogs could have literally put their noses through the fence and sniffed/ touched the sheep the other side. For a reactive dog or even dog selective this could be a stressful garden situation. We had 3 dogs with us and next door had 5! We had to be very aware whenever next doors dogs were out as 2 of ours didn’t like the fact next doors could jump up on the fence to look into our garden so we couldn’t have them out at the same time. It just depends how you feel your dogs would cope. It didn’t ruin the stay but we had to be careful each time and it wasn’t as relaxing as it could have been just sitting out in the garden admiring the lovely views. I wanted to mention this as it doesn’t seem to in the holiday description. Overall a lovely time away and we’d likely go back.

  Beth, Thank you for your feedback, abd I am pleased you wish to return. It would be lovely to see you and the dogs again..I would like to take this opportunity to address your concerns, In the cottage description it clearly states there is an adjoining property, and the photo of the patio furniture with my Black Labrador shows the proximity of that property. We invested considerable in a natural looking picket fencing , to enable people to enjoy the views, and see the livestock. We do advertise we are a working farm, with livestock and that farm animals would be part of the daiky encounter, There is the opportunity to interaction between the properties, however we have installed a solid high gate and a section of solid high fencing to providing privacy to both properties to sit outside. Ian and I feel one of the beautiful aspects is having that closeness to nature, the animals and uninterrupted stunning views. Property Owner

  Everything has been thought of to make the cottage a 'home from home'. Highly recommend to couples (and their dogs!), looking for a relaxing break. The views from the garden do not disappoint (even with the pigs in your eyeline!) and the house itself is very cosy. We were greeted with home made scones, with cream and jam, a pint of milk, bread, butter and a bottle of wine which was a lovely welcome. Being on a working farm, we were surrounded by animals, which was a nice change to the hustle & bustle of town! Really do recommend, and would not hesitate to come back with family and friends again in the near future. A few recommendations of what we fit in over our 3 nights - 2 different beaches, Bude & Widemouth (by car), Tamar Lakes (by car, highly recommend if you are looking for up to 2 hours of walking, followed by a cream tea at the café on site), and walked to the 'Stumble Inn' for a Sunday Roast (approximately 40 minutes road walking).

  Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay at our cottage.

Ian and I regularly stay in the properties to ensure everything is perfect, most of our guests ask to take the mattresses home, as they have the best of nights sleep. With regard to the heating in our welcome pack we explain we have set the heating to come on in the morning and evening at a temperature we feel is comfortable. We also state if you would like this adjusted for your stay to let us know. There is also an electric fire in the lounge to allow you to add heat.

Beware this is a farm and has pigs, sheep, cows, ducks and chickens so expect associated noises and smells! We look forward to hopefully returning next year!.

  Very Spacious for two. Working farm so early farm noises of course. We messed up finding it but it is easy. Just take B3254 from Launceston and watch for road sign on right for West Curry telling you to turn left. Follow this road as far as it will go even through two steel farm gates.

• "We understand that there are two cottages that can be linked for bigger groups of guests however we felt very uncomfortable using the garden as we could and where being watched by next door."

  Also the adjoining door needs some sound proofing as we could hear every conversation from next door and could hear them on several occasions attempting to open the adjoining door.

  Thank you for comments. The property does have an adding door which due to the Covid rules regarding shared areas was bricked up, and is insulated on either side. Both doors are locked, so there is no possible way that they would have gained access to you. We clearly state that there is an adding property and we fenced to allow everyone to enjoy the view and provide seclusion. I am sorry you were unhappy with the facilities we provided. Property Owner

• "I cannot fault the high spec of West Curry Cottage, the proprietors had taken so much trouble to ensure the comfort, cleanliness and well equipped facility."

  The additional little touches left of bread, cream tea, butter, milk, wine were so thoughtful and appreciated. However, when booking I knew it was semi detached, what I didn't know about was the connecting door between the cottage and the farmhouse which had no sound proofing what so ever and we could here everything. Saturday and Sunday was slightly quieter because the family were in the garden. Following Monday nights noise we decided we were not prepared to put up with further evenings like that and decided to leave on Tuesday evening thereby cutting our holiday short by two nights. I will admit to not complaining to the owners about Monday evening as I don't really see what they could have done to avoid repeat incidents. I would strongly suggest that the issue with the connecting door is fully included within the cottage spec so anyone booking in our circumstances will be fully aware that there is no sound proofing between the two properties connecting door.

  The only bit of feedback I have ,is the fence which divides the 2 properties to be a solid fence (the rest is fine, just the one down the middle) as if the neighbours have dogs and you do it can create a bit of a problem should either dogs not like other dogs etc. Other than that, the garden is fab with a lovely view and ample size for dogs (we had 3 spaniels) thanks for a fab stay.

  The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into everything in the cottage, a very comfortable mattress, nice sized shower cubicle, the kitchen has everything you need, nice new comfortable sofa and chair in the sitting room and a decent sized TV for watching a film after dinner. If I had to add one or two criticisms, it would be the adjoining door between this cottage and the larger family one next door, if you have a noisy family in the cottage next door (and unfortunately we did) it can get quite noisy whilst sat in the sitting room. Also the fence in the garden could be a little more secure, we were a little unsure if we should let our dog in the garden whilst off her lead, it would be very easy for them to get under the fence and in with the sheep, possibly finding a way to secure the bottom of the fence so the dogs can’t get in with the livestock would be good... but having said that it was better than a lot of cottages we have stayed in that claim to have a “secure garden”. The bread, milk, eggs and scones were a lovely touch. The views from the garden is just stunning. This is a great location for exploring both Devon and Cornwall. We would definitely recommend staying here and we will be booking to come back again!

  Thank you for your comments. Since the Covid situation, we have bricked up the adjoining door in line with shared spaces, and the insulation previously there has been enhanced. The fencing is livestock fencing to keep our animals out of the gardens, however if a dog wants to they can escape from almost anywhere. we have taken on board your comments and improved the fencing.

We found both Ian and Monica really helpful, enthusiastic and genuinely keen to get feedback but without being pushy. Monica's welcome pack of home produce went down a treat, as did the complimentary bottle of wine. We think that the layout of the cottage and adjacent farmhouse (also for let) with an adjoining door would be great for larger groups, we never heard a squeak out of our neighbours on our stay, and the view over to the northern hills of Bodmin Moor were something to admire, especially with snow on them. Seven miles from Launceston deep in the Cornish countryside the area is so peaceful and relaxing. We would go back again without hesitation. We wish Monica and Ian much success with their new venture. Jill & John G
