Cornwall is a very temperate region of the UK and the beaches are very popular for surfing and other water-sports. The beaches of the north coast are just 14 miles away and also bring you into close proximity to attractions such as the world-famous Eden Project and the Victorian discovery, the Lost Gardens of Heligan. A few miles west of Polyphant, you can take in the rugged beauty of Bodmin Moor with its granite tors, walking opportunities and secluded moor-land villages. The Camel Route, a famous cycling and walking trail is just minutes from here.

The Old Grannery was just perfect for us with two golden retrievers.
The hosts were welcoming and friendly and the cream tea was a lovely surprise. The location is perfect for visiting many places of interest in Devon as well as Cornwall, coastal and inland. I shall certainly be revisiting with my Goldies, who loved having a large secure garden in which to play.
-
The old Granary is a fabulous place to stay Ulli and Larraine are outstanding hosts, they will go out of their way to ensure your stay is a most enjoyable experience.
10 out of 10 on this cottage and hosts.

Lovely comfortable cottage, a perfect location for travelling around Cornwall & South Devon.
Really well equipped and the cream tea left for us was a nice thought and delicious. Whilst there isn't a private garden attached to the cottage as such, you can use the communal one, which is large, very pretty and peaceful with amazing views of the countryside and has comfortable seating areas and very safe for children and dogs. We felt totally at home here thanks to our hosts Lauraine & Ulli. We will definitely return.
-
A superb cottage in a great location for exploring Cornwall.
Spotlessly clean with everything you could need for a relaxing stay. We will be back soon.
-
Absolutely lovely cottage - property owner and family were so kind and helpful , everything we needed good location for touring around the garden was so nice and they made me feel like my dog was no trouble at all running around enjoying the space.
We will definitely be back, one small suggestion is an outdoor box in the colder months for dirty boots to go in save keeping in kitchen but this is just a suggestion.
-
We had a lovely week staying in The Granary.
Everything that we could have possible wanted was supplied for a comfortable stay.There was even a delicious cream tea on arrival! Ulli and lauraine made great hosts and are very informative. We especially liked sitting in the lovely garden early evening enjoying the the views and tranquillity around the pond, after having a full day exploring cornwall. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely cottage, immaculate, scones with clotted cream to greet us on the kitchen table, coffee, tea, milk ready to make cuppa on arrival!
â¦. Perfectly situated for north and south coasts , very quiet and scenic, garden lovely and dog loved it
-
This is a beautiful and cosy place to stay.
The owners made sure everything was perfect. They are always on hand, but everything still feels very private. The shared garden area is stunning. We loved that it gave our eldest son the opportunity to make a friend (even for a short while), without being in a busy holiday park.

We loved our stay!
The property was lovely, clean and comfortable with everything we needed and a beautiful welcome package. The garden and views were just perfect and the dog loved it even more than us. Lovely hosts who left really great information about dog friendly places to go. Really top holiday let actually, I'll definitely book again we loved it! Lots of things to do in the area, Tintagel and The Eden Project were our highlights along with the scenic beauty of Bodmin Moor. Thanks for the lovely stay. Debbie, James and Poppy.

A fabulous place to stay.
The Old Granary was an amazing place to stay at. Both the owners were so polite and extremely helpful at all times. Our 2 year old cocker spaniel loved the gardens? Where she was allowed to play freely !! The owners let us keep the gates at the entry so enabling us to have piece of mind that our dog wouldnât escape or get run over if she was off the lead. Will miss the place immensely but we will be back l Thank to both of the owners xxxx

Property was pleasant.
Sadly the internet was down the entire time and with no signal it was pretty bleak. We were not made aware of this before our stay. Make checking work emails very tricky. Sadly I would not return as this made for a stressful stay.
-
Really lovely property,friendly owners and stunning scenery.
Definitely recommend and would stay again!
-
This is a fantastic cottage my family and I really loved the cottage.
The garden is amazing and the pond has some amazing Koi fish in. The owners where very friendly and welcoming and we will definitely book again in the future. Thank you for a great week.
-
Old Granary is sited in a perfect central location for exploring Cornwall with beautiful surroundings.
Itâs very dog friendly which suited us with a large fenced paddock. Accommodation is very well presented, well equipped and comfortable. Would recommend staying.
-
Everything was as described and as we arrived in the dark it was great to find the property warm and the cream tea was most welcome thanks.
The location was ideal, off a quiet road, but only a couple of minutes from the A30. And no snow in Cornwall last week thanks!
-
The Old Granary is a superb cottage in a wonderful setting.
It had all the facilities and equipment you could ever want and was immaculately clean! Added to it's fantastic location, ideal for exploring all the delights Cornwall has to offer this was the perfect holiday break for my family and I. Thank you, we will be back!

Comfortable little cottage in good location.
Particularly enjoyed the garden with conservatory. Owners very friendly and helpful. Absolutely everything you could need supplied
-
Had a lovely week (apart from weather 2nd half, but it didn't stop us).
Beautiful property, friendly owners. Unfortunately I didn't have a pen to write in the visitors book. Loved the cream tea on arrival, very nice! The location is more or less 'middle of nowhere' yet (Big)Tesco is an 8 minute drive. Do read the folders, full of fantastic info including dog friendly attractions, pubs etc. Really comfortable bed!.. and if a clear night (Had a few despite the weather) I would sleep with curtains open, no light pollution-bonus. Beautifully kept garden, Koi carp in the pond, an absolute idyll. Many thanks to Lauraine & Ulli. There is so much more to the cottage and location than is advertised.

Had a fantastic stay as a family of 2 adults and a 6 year old, in one of the 3 holiday cottages at this location.
The owners were very welcoming, recommended places to eat and visit. The location was secluded but on the doorstep of good, fast road links. The setting of the shared garden was tranquil with big fish pond and fruit trees, and we felt safe leaving our child to play with other children who happened to stay in the adjacent cottage. Lots of toys for the kids, sandpit and gorgeous Wendy house. The parking right outside was a godsend. The cottage was quiet at night and the beds were comfy. The shower was powerful and hot water was never a problem. The kitchen was extremely clean (like new) and well equipped with items you don't usually get for a holiday rental e.g pizza cutter, knife selection, foil, pegs. The fridge and freezer were big enough for what we bought. We managed to get WiFi strong enough for streaming services. It was a nice touch having the shared utility room with board games, body board, wind breakers available to borrow. We visited both north and south coastlines and it was a handy location for both. Thank you so much. We can't wait to stay again!

Thank you for allowing us to use your cottage to start our family vacation in the UK!
We LOVED the cream tea on arrival, and were so at peace watching our girls play in the vast garden with beautiful views.

Had a fantastic week here with my husband and our two children age 7 and 3.
. cottage is exactly like the picture. Owners very welcoming. Garden is beautiful with stunning views. Parking spot for each cottage. Lots of information and local restaurants, places to visit in a folder collected by the owners. Cottage has everything you need, fridge, freezer, microwave, oven, kettle, toaster, washing machine. The cream tea and scones where lovely... also the milk, tea bags, coffee and butter where great on arrival too after a long drive to get there. Would highly recommend this cottage and would love to visit and stay again. Thank you from the Richardsons

The cottage is comfortable, clean and well-equipped; there was always lots of very hot water and the shower ran consistently.
The fridge is very small and we couldnât fit everything in that we wanted to. The small lounge is cosy and soon warms up with the electric fire. The sofa and armchairs are comfortable and better than those we find in many rental properties. The bed is comfortable and we slept well. It was good to have a CD player as we didnât want to watch TV all the time. The Wifi signal was very weak and inconsistent such that the connection was often dropped, though this was less of a problem in the bedroom. However, the data speed was reasonable. The cream tea on arrival was much appreciated and the jam was delicious. The location is delightful and peaceful and the garden with its huge pond is beautiful and a lovely place to sit when the weather is nice, which it was most of the time. Access from the nearby A30 is quick and, although the last half mile is a single track lane with only one passing place, we only once encountered another car. Arriving on the A30 from the east necessitates a right turn across the busy dual carriageway and similarly if one wants to travel west after leaving the property; the road is often very busy and we had to wait several minutes for a gap in the traffic on some occasions. We had an excellent lunch at the Eliot Arms in Tregadillett and a good value steak dinner at the Archer Arms in Lewannick, to which we walked despite the long 1 in 7 hill (total walking time about 30 minutes). Tuesday is their steak night and, although it was quiet, we were told itâs advisable to book. There are plenty of nice places to visit by car and the Cheesewring, easily accessed from Minions on the east flank of Bodmin Moor, is a remarkable geological feature worth seeing. We had an excellent week with good, dry weather and loved the practical but peaceful location.

The cottage was lovely and welcoming which made us very comfortable for the whole week.
Everything we couldâve needed and more was provided which it made it very easy. The views that came with the cottage made it peaceful and enjoyable and it was lovely to have a garden space to relax and play in.
