Grooms Cottage

A nice sized place. Bedrooms are small but only needed for sleeping. The farm can be a bit noisy at times but it’s kind of comforting. You do need to travel to shops and pubs but there are things about 5 miles away. Had a really nice few days stay.

Quiet and reasonably priced

We stayed here for a wedding in Trebetherick. Which meant a couple of expensive taxis but the ability to wind down quietly away from the rest of the party was nice. The accommodation is upside down so that meant a nice breakfast on the balcony . Certainly stay again if the opportunity arises.

Grooms Cottage Review

Having stayed in Grooms cottage this year and Keepers cottage last year, I would highly recommend this holiday destination. Not only did the cottages have everything you need the manager was very prompt with a few queries I had. A lovely place to get away from it all.

Rural and beautiful

Lovely location, next to a small farm. Great views from the balcony, stars at night were spectacular. Nice waking up to the rooster and cows. Our large dog loved the securely enclosed paddock with a lake in the middle. Extremely cosy and warm cottage.

Mr Colin Wynne

Beautiful property in a beautiful part of Cornwall. Located on a farm in the Higher Tregawne area. Perfect for a weeks stay, our converted barn was well equipped & had beautiful views across the north Cornish countryside. A nice touch was to find a selection of goodies incl. wine on our arrival. It would have been nice to meet our hosts at least once during our stay but unfortunately this wasn’t to be. Overall though, great value for money & we really enjoyed our stay.

Nice break

Cottage has everything you need, however I wouldn't let my dogs or children swim in the lake as it looked disgusting, the promised dog shower has been removed so we couldn't shower our dogs. The cottage is in the middle of a working farm & although we didn't mind listening to the tractors & farm animals it was spoilt a little when one of the dogs was howling next door. The lady in the farm house was very friendly and offered any assistance should we need it. The dog exercise field was great for a first morning & last evening walk.

The property itself was quite presentable. Although all of the doors stuck. There were lots of amenities at the property. I think a family of 4 with dogs might be a little cramped. The property is literally in the middle of nowhere, so a vehicle is a must. If the farmer had no dogs himself I would return. But the dogs howled & cried a lot because of separation & boredom. This actually upset me.The communication with the owner was very good.

We decided to go away for Christmas 2023 and wanted somewhere peaceful, comfortable and dog friendly, close to where the rest of our family were staying and preferably with enough ammenaties provided so that we could just relax and enjoy our stay. Grooms Cottage was exactly that and we honestly could not have asked for more. Everything from start to finish exceeded our expectations and couldn't have been more perfect for us. The cottage is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need and more!! The hosts have thought of everything, there's a welcome pack full of useful information you might need and instructions/manuals for all the appliances ect in the cottage so you never have to spend time wondering where anything is or how something works because it's all provided. Caroline (The Host) couldn't have been more accommodating, and we arrived to find, she had left us some wood for the fire, milk in the fridge, a basket of christmas goodies (mince pies, chocolates ect) and a lovely bottle of prosecco to go with it which I can honestly say was such a lovely surprise and very much appreciated. We all had a fabulous time at this very special place, (including our precious little dog, Max who was absolutely living his best life) and we would definately go back for more!

Great property, great location to explore Cornwall. Local beaches exceptional and access to fabulous coastal walks and Bodmin moor. We felt relaxed in this cosy barn conversion just wish it had been cold enough to light the wood burner. We would definitely go back and would recommend it
