Gumburnville is a charming and spacious cottage in a peaceful hamlet near Camelford, ideal for exploring North Cornwall. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, enclosed garden, and three bathrooms, making it suitable for families and dog owners. The property offers good value for money and a relaxing atmosphere, though some mention low ceilings in the attic bedroom and tight parking. While most found the cottage comfortable and welcoming, a few noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance. Overall, it is a lovely base for a quiet Cornish getaway.

A lovely little cottage in a quiet hamlet. Spotlessly clean with comfortable beds. We found it to be a great location for exploring Cornwall and coming back here after a day of sightseeing was like a home from home. Even the local rabbits paid us a visit in the mornings.
-
Lovely cottage with interesting history, excellent for exploring North Cornwall. Spacious property with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, but attic bedroom has severely sloping ceilings so getting in and out of bed difficult. Fabulous bathroom but showering sent water across the floor, despite screen. Well equipped kitchen and utility room, with extra toilet! Pretty garden, enclosed for our dog. Parking close but only for 1 car.
-
Generally it's good value for money, but needs a bit updating with some comfier chairs in the living room and some kitchen appliances need updating - the dishwasher didn't work and the knives weren't very sharp. The place is spacious in terms of overall room, however the slopping ceiling in the top room makes getting in and out of bed awkward. It is also in a small hamlet, with no services around so you have to drive everywhere. The WiFi was also very slow, not a deal breaker for most, but we struggled with streaming entertainment in the evening.

Lovely comfortable stay, thank you
-
Very good cottage ideal for the Atlantic coast of Cornwall. Well sized and great to have three bathrooms. Do remember the low ceilings. Parking is tight but space for one car.
-
Lovely little cottage set in a small hamlet not far from Camelford. Advertised as having an AGA but it cannot be used for cooking which was a real disappointent. The top floor has a main suite with shower and bath and is very clean. The only issue with this area is the slanting roof which means you cant stand up fully when getting in/out of bed. The other disappointing thing was the lack of cleanliness on the ground floor. Dirty light fitting above the Aga, dirty doors and cups and glassses that needed washing before use. There is a parking space for one car but if you have more than one car parking is very difficult. For a couple this did however provid excellent value for money overall.

Lovely cottage, with excellent garden. Very quiet, which is what we like. Nice walks around local country lanes. Do need a car to get to shops, coast etc. Fish and chip shop (peckish) in the next village is beautiful. Is second time we have stayed and will certainly go again. If you want peace and quiet with your family including your dog would recommend.The only negatives for me is the mattresses are not the best quality but we managed ok. The kitchen is well equipped for your cooking needs and having a smart tv in living room was nice. For the price I think it is very good value.
-
The cottage itself was lovely, but the level of cleanliness was disappointing, but nothing that a bit of attention wouldn't rectify fairly quickly.The location was good, we expected a bit of a drive to the coast, but that wasn't far away...good for Tintagel, Boscastle, Port Isaac and Trebarwith Strand.The garden was completely enclosed, which was good for our dog and relatively quiet, apart from some road noise.Go prepared with everything you need to self cater as there is little in the house.

Good communication, central location, Pretty Cornish cottage let down by level of cleanlines, poor maintenance, parking isues and hostility from some residents.

A beautiful cottage with absolutely everything you need. Very tastefully decorated throughout, I couldn’t have asked for more.Having read some of the reviews I was a little apprehensive but I was more than pleasantly surprised, I didn’t want to leave!The people in the village were all extremely friendly except the one neighbour who decided to leave a nasty note telling me I was parked in a private space, even though we both knew I wasn’t! I accommodated her and moved my car, tried to apologise but unfortunately bitter people hide behind their bitter notes. Life is too short to get hung up over a parked car!Thank you to the owners of Gumburnville for renting out such a beautiful home which is ideally situated for travelling around Cornwall.

We had a lovely stay! We will definitely be coming back and recommending to family/friends. We felt very welcome and very at home. Sad to be leaving after a short stay. Hopefully book longer for next time!

Filthy, need if many minor repairs. Previous users dogs hairs everywhere even on bed covers and cushions! Asthma sufferer was affected by, ruined our Christmas break, not as described on website, very very disappointed. Have written a full account of the unacceptable conditions both in Filth, dog hairs and collapsed sofa in lounge/snug etc. Waiting hosts response and agreement as to a resolve.
