We booked an extended stay as we were waiting for visas to allow is to permanently relocate to Spain.
We chose Clonmore, in part, for the location and also for the fantastic reviews that had been left online. We were not disappointed, Donna had started the wood burner and after a long journey, walking into a warm and comfortable home was a wonderful start. As was the welcome pack that so many people had previously commented on. We were staying over Christmas and Donna had put up a tree and decorations to put us in the festive mood. Our dog had a gift, as did we, again what a thoughtful touch. Having been to Cornwall on many occasions, this is the finest we have stayed in and we wouldnât hesitate to return. Thank you Donna for your kind hospitality.
-
A beautiful, immaculate and spotlessly clean property.
The welcome hamper which was left for us, was unbelievably generous and a lovely surprise, with treats also included for the dogs. There were also towels and throws for the dogs. Donna has really thought of everything and she deserves all the positive reviews. If ever we're visiting Cornwall again, would have no hesitation in staying at Clonmore again. Can't recommend this property enough, it's just perfect and we had a wonderful weekend break there. Thank you Donna.

Wonderful place to stay.
The bungalow was amazing and the welcome pack was one of the best we have received. Ideal location if you have a car to allow you to get around the whole of Cornwall as we did. We never go back to the same location as there are so many places to visit. However if we did come back we would have no hesitation of staying here and would highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely weeks holiday with the dogs.

We loved our stay at Clonmore!
From stepping into the property to leaving. Best place weâve stayed at! Very clean and absolutely everything you need to enjoy your stay. Itâs a real homely place and you feel safe as itâs tucked away in a gated estate. The garden is lit up at night and with the doors open itâs relaxing and peaceful. You actually feel like youâre on holiday. The sofas are comfy and itâs great being able to put ur feet up on the footstools and relax. Nothing to complain about with this property, positive vibes!

This has to be one of the best cottages I have stayed at.
Clean, comfy, with every kitchen facility you could need and more. The welcome basket was lovely, especially the little touches like milk, butter, and a pasty! Owner emailed me information before arrival plus a text message to let me know it was ready for my arrival which I thought was a nice touch.

We loved the cottage.
Every detail was covered. From the best welcome hamper we have had anywhere, to the freshly washed throws for the pets. We really couldn't have asked for more. A great little place in a great location for exploring North Cornwall. Donna is an amazing host who thoroughly deserves a 5 star review. I would also say, if you are interested in the history of Bodmin Jail, take a look into the history of the site in which Clonmore is located. Many thanks Donna, We will be back.
