It’s been so lovely to meet you, you’ve been fantastic hosts! Thenkyou for a wonderful stay. This is a great location for exploring so much of the South Coast. We have loved Fowey, Polruan, Lerryn (so peaceful), Lantic Bay is just stunning and we have managed lots of the coastal walks as well as exploring Pelynt. (The Jubilee Inn does great food!) and the local countryside. You have made the cottage incredibly comfy and cosy, but it’s also so bright and airy with a fab choice of artwork, cushions, blinds and accessories! We loved it! (As you can tell) Xxx

Excellent location for our trips to Eden Project, Bodmin & Wendover Railway, Bodmin Jail, Plymouth and beautiful Polperro, Fowey & Mavagissey. Looe so handy for our evening meals. Owl TV was an added treat and seeing the owl and chickens made it feel like a real farm. Will definitely recommend to family & friends.

The Farmhouse was ready early and our host rang to let us know which was fantastic and meant we could settle in earlier than planned after our journey from Cheshire, the host met us to explain a few things and then left us but was on hand if we needed anything.We had 6 of us plus the dog in the house and there was plenty of room for everyone and all needs were catered for, it definitely made our stay more enjoyable, we come to Cornwall every year to see family and this was the best place we have stayed, will definitely be coming back.

“We had a lovely family holiday at Cardwen farmhouse.”

The farmhouse and surrounding area was outstanding! Beautiful countryside and very peaceful. Siobhan was really friendly, and popped over when we arrived to welcome us. We especially loved following the activities on the owl cam! My son spent several evenings sitting outside ( very quietly!) around dusk, to wait for the male to swoop out of the nesting box, and off into the night. We were hoping to see the eggs hatch out during our stay. All in all it was a lovely holiday, in a beautiful part of Cornwall. We thoroughly recommend Cardwen holiday cottages!
