Wir waren zu viert für eine Woche in der Unterkunft und konnten uns sehr gut erholen. Die gesamte Anlage, vor allem der hintere Garten ist sehr schön angelegt. Besonders das Spielhaus mit der Tischtennisplatte hat unseren Kindern sehr gefallen. Die Wohnung selbst war auch gemütlich und sehr sauber. Es war alles da, was man bräuchte. Die Unterkunft ist ein sehr guter Ausgangspunkt für Strandausflüge und Wanderungen.

Haben uns im Cottage sofort sehr wohl gefühlt. Es war sehr gemütlich. Die Lage des Cottage ist sehr schön und liegt zusammen mit anderen Cottages auf einem großen Gelände. Hier kann man sehr gut entspannen. Viele Ausflugsziele sind in kurzer Zeit erreichbar. Die An- und Abfahrt fahrt zum Cottage empfehlen wir über die Abzweigung von der Hauptstraße bei der Tankstelle. Der Kontakt zur Verwaltung verlief sehr freundlich, zeitnah und reibungslos.

So-so. Location. The bathroom was very good, although how difficult REALLY is it to fix a simple lock on the door?! Your cleaner does a very good job. The lack of storage space. The lack of some esential kitchen equipment. Tatty duvets. Lack of attention to details made us feel les than welcome.

I have stayed at Dovecote twice now, both times have been just perfect for myself and my dog. Beaches 15mins away by car , Camelford 3 mins away for supplies, it’s my idea of heaven, there is a lovely dog walk just off the Fenteroon Bridge along the river which is perfect for a picnic or just letting your dog have fun in the crystal clear water 💦 I will be back next year

Nice little cottage, lovely quiet location, plenty of local walks, perfect for morning strolls with the dog. The cottage is well equipped with adequate seating for four persons. The tv is a little small for the size of the living area and the WiFi was just about ok to get by with. Beds were nice and comfortable and very clean. It looks as though the property is being updated, interior doors had been replaced.The booking experience was very easy, the owners were very quick to respond to any queries we had. On the whole this is a great little cottage, we would definitely recommend for a peaceful getaway.
