Sitting in a peaceful rural location near the River Camel, this stunning family friendly and canine friendly house provides a luxurious stay and makes the perfect base for exploring Cornwall.  With a wet room, an enclosed garden, underfloor heating, and a wood burner, this cottage is perfect for a couple, friends, or family.

The former cattle barn has been stunningly converted into luxury accommodation. It’s stylish and spacious with bags of character, combining high end fixtures and fittings with gorgeous original features. The lounge has beautiful wooden beams, and a cosy wood burner the hounds can curl up next to while you watch a DVD on the Smart TV. The stunning kitchen/diner has everything you need for cooking delicious dinners to enjoy at the rustic dining table. The bedrooms are at either end of the property, a super-king room (can be set up as a twin), which has an en-suite bathroom, and a twin (can be set up as a super-king) with an en-suite wet room. There are three steps between the lounge and the second bedroom, or you avoid them by using the outside path. Soak up the sun in the garden seating areas, have a BBQ and let your pups roam freely. There’s a covered area for storing bikes/wetsuits/surfboards. This property's eco credentials include solar power and water saving measures on their taps and in their showers. The property was built using FSC and PEFC certified timber by local tradesmen, supporting the owners to reduce their carbon footprint. Firewood provided is from naturally fallen or felled for safety trees from the farm. The owners also installed various measures to mitigate an disturbance to wildlife, have nurtured and added to a small orchard planting native West Country species, planted new hedgerows and have worked hard to protect the river banks on the farm.

Explore the wilds of Bodmin Moor, cycle or walk along the Camel Trail, a wheel-chair accessible flat route on a disused railway line which runs between Wenfordbridge and Padstow. Visit the area’s stunning beaches, go fishing on the River Camel (fishing access may be available by arrangement).

Unfortunately, we would not stay here again or recommend this property. There were a number of issues during our week-long stay and it certainly wasnt luxury as boasted on the website, starting with the very poorly equipped kitchen. There were only five spoons for four people, very little cutlery or kitchen equipment, just two placemats and fourRead more coasters for the living areas of the property and barely any useful kitchen tools. There was no pizza cutter or tongs, the baking trays buckled in the oven and the oven gloves were dangerous and unusable as they stuck to everything. The oven doors did not close properly. One side appeared to have been improvised with additional magnets, while the other door was hanging off its hinges. As a result, it took an extremely long time to cook anything. The property was also advertised as having internet access, but none of us could actually get onto the internet. The connection was either unavailable or completely unusable. If you are planning to work remotely from this cottage, do not rely on the advertised internet access, you could be waiting an eternity for a single webpage to load. Another particularly frustrating issue was the plumbing. Whenever anyone flushed a toilet, used the en-suite taps or ran a shower, the kitchen tap would start running and make an awful noise. This happened at any time of day or night and regularly woke everyone in the house. The property was advertised as having increased accessibility, but in our experience this was very misleading. I have limited mobility and the room with the accessible shower was only accessible by leaving the cottage and going through an external doorway. This would mean having to go outside in all weather conditions simply to access the bathroom. The external slabs around the property were also extremely slippery, particularly when wet. After the gardener had been, there was a considerable amount of wet grass left across the slabs, making them extremely hazardous. The garden was also not accessible for me. There are large steps leading up to it which become treacherous when wet. My husband slipped several times while using them to pick up after the dogs. The steps in the doorway of bedroom two were also very steep and when you opened the door to the lounge you had to teeter on the edge of the top step or step back down onto the second step which felt particularly unsafe. The information provided in the cottages welcome pack was another disappointment. Much of it consisted of rules, restrictions and dictations, particularly regarding the dogs despite being listed as dog friendly on the holiday cottage website. For example, we were told in the pack that dogs must be de-flead, de-wormed, be up to date on their vaccinations and kennel cough. Some of these requirements did not appear to match the information provided in the original holiday cottage listing, which made the additional rules in the welcome pack particularly frustrating. The bedrooms also had their own issues. The drawers in bedroom twos furniture werent big enough to fit T-shirts or tops in, so they had to be piled up on the dressing table. Our clothes always felt damp during our stay. Finally, and most concerningly, there was a significant amount of black mould on the walls and carpet in the main and second bedrooms. It was clear that there had previously been an issue, as there were areas of staining on the walls and carpet where mould appeared to have been cleaned away. We were only there for a week but had we been staying longer this would have been a serious concern, particularly because I have a weakened immune system. It is also worth mentioning that the road access to the cottage is along a very narrow lane which some people may not be comfortable driving along. There were a few positives. The shower pressures were good, the beds were comfortable and the dog field was a good facility to have access to. The location was also nice and quiet, which made for a peaceful stay despite the other issues we experienced. Overall, there were simply too many issues for us to consider this an enjoyable or suitable stay. The accessibility claims in particular did not reflect the reality of the property and the mould and other maintenance issues were unacceptable. Hide

We had a fantastic stay in Dickens Cottage, everything was perfect. The beds were unbelievably comfortable and the showers brilliant too. The house had everything as described on the advert, the location was quiet and quite isolated but as long as youre willing to drive out for things it was brilliant, Sophy the host was very friendly and the walkiRead moreng field for the dog was an added bonus. We will definitely be returning. Hide
