The Granary

The granary Cottage had the most horrendous damp smell as we walked in and with further inspection there was damp/mould on the wall area in the lounge area We ended up not staying in the cottage due to health reasons.

Further action has been taken

The Granary offers good value relative to costs (a week for £500 in the second week of September) but is a little tired and not ideally suited to older people or families with very young children as the two bedrooms are upstairs while the single family shower room/toilet downstairs is accessed by steep and very creaky stairs.

The induction hob was cracked across one corner, with no immediate replacement in prospect, accompanied by a warning notice to take care to avoid sharp edges along the length of the crack when cleaning. The TV is quite small and out-of-date requiring us to order a next day delivery plug-in Firestick from Amazon so that we could stream Amazon Prime, Netflix, YouTube, ITV X, BBC iPlayer and other streaming services. Both the damaged induction hob, and the TV, should be replaced as a matter of urgency/priority. The mattresses on the beds were thin and lumpy, okay for young families maybe, but not for older people with aches and pains. No torch was provided but one is needed to safely navigate the car park which is reached along the stone-flagged garden pathway and steeply sloped driveway some distance from the property (a large pampas grass overhanging the very narrow sharply curved driveway needs trimming back to avoid brushing door mirrors and bodywork). The car park itself was not lit in an area of dark skies without street lighting apart from one or two bollard lights on the driveway. The property, which is reached via a narrow and and in wet weather very puddled and muddy lane with no passing places off the main B3314 Wadebridge to Delabole road, is not easy to find with SatNav postcode directions falling well short of the Tregwarmond Mill development of which The Granary is part. What3Words is recommended, but not included with the property directions, unless very familiar with this location which is situated in isolated country about 3 miles from Rock. It would be particularly difficult to find at night, especially in poor weather conditions.

This is a really lovely cottage - in many ways the photos don't do it justice.

The downstairs is spacious enough, and the 3 kids actually loved being in one room together. The patio was big enough to enjoy some meals out together, and the rural setting is idyllic. There was a super helpful guide to local beaches in the property - suggestion would be to add something on local dog walks, as we didn't see any footpaths despite the lovely countryside setting.

Nice pretty garden and cottage, and the owners have tried really hard to make it welcoming.

... shame about the inconsiderate neighbours. The people in Hayloft played football with their children against the bedroom wall upstairs at 6.45am for 3 mornings and the nightmare family opposite behind the tall lelandii hedge screamed and shouted and played loud music until past midnight so we didn't sleep well or relax much. Maybe it's quieter during term time? The bathroom needs urgent attention, under the paint the wood around the bath and pipe boxing is rotten and stained. We were picking small fungi off the skirting board by the toilet. Needs a decent king size double bed, and one of the single mattresses needs replacing. Oven is complicated to operate and we only found the manual by accident, some one had hidden it behind a saucepan! The site manager needs to paint the yellow car park spaces again so 4 cars can get onto the concrete in wet weather please.

Good location for visiting surrounding area and nicely tucked away

Lovely cottage and superbly equipped with everything you would need to make a perfect stay.

Bed and pillows very comfortable. We had excellent weather which added to a brilliant vacation. Thank you

Charming cottage with well kept grounds.

Linens very clean. Oven not working, so meal preparation limited. Most things pulled out of cabinets had to be cleaned before using: wine glasses, cutlery and pans. Sat nav sent us into caravan park. No recycling bins, which is shocking after the Cop 26 was held there this year. called head office.

The cottage was beautiful and really well laid out.

The facilities were great and we couldn't fault the cottage for comfort, space upstairs and privacy. The courtyard garden was really convenient for drying wet suits and sitting out in the evening. Our main problem was the head height of the doors - 2 tall family members bumped their heads a few times coming in and out and the compactness of the kitchen/table area & bathroom - again a tallish family of 5 made it a squeeze to eat together or shower/use the loo without a struggle The only improvement we could see was that the cottage could do with a deep clean - areas behind the TV/lights/beds were very dusty and cobwebbed. Overall we had a lovely stay thank you

The cottage was in a reasonable location, but we were familiar with the the area before arriving so that was fine.

The draws in the kitchen were falling apart and that area needs a complete refurb before someone gets accidentally hurt on a falling draw. The directions to the place need to be clearer. Even when we rang, the person on the phone wasn’t completely sure. But otherwise it was fine for our needs, nothing plush, but at that price we would definitely consider coming back next year.

Great location central to visit lots of beaches.

Accommodation had everything we needed. Perfect holiday helped buy the perfect weather

Overall The Granary is a well equipped property in quiet surroundings with a good location for many beaches and coastal walks.

The postcode provided does not take you to the property or even that near to it so better directions would be helpful. The house smelt very damp when we first arrived but there were no actual signs of damp and the smell lessened considerably over the first day or so - perhaps better airing would help this. The beds were comfortable with good linen and towels provided. Parking was easy. We didn’t realise from The Granary advert when booking that there were other cottages around it as this is not shown - we thought it was just attached to one other property with nothing else near. We enjoyed our stay here - it was comfortable and has a lovely enclosed patio with seating at the back.
