“The sign at the entrance to the cottage was to small we struggled to find it, having driven past several times before we realised.”

The property its self was lovely and clean however it was a bit dated with furniture.

“We were happy with The Granary, and I think that some of the comments in previous reviews are a bit unfair.”

The cottage is well located for Port Isaac, Polzeath and Wadebridge. There was certainly no smell of dampness when we arrived, or during what was a bit of a wet Cornish week. The lighting on the path down from the car parking area was OK. The induction hob and fan oven are fine, if you read the brief instructions. Yes - there is only one WC/shower room, and it's downstairs, but that's made clear enough in the listing and floorplan. A family of 5 might struggle with just 1 shower room/WC. It's a nice, old cottage and the open plan living area downstairs is probably best for up to 4 people. The weather wasn't good enough to use the patio area, but it looked fine. If you're feeling brave, drive down the west approach to Port Isaac, very narrow - but fun. The road access to the cottage is fine, and we were sent What3Words info. Worth doing a Streetview recce before going. There are 4 parking spaces, slightly uphill from the cottage - worth less mobile folk knowing about (though TBH less mobile folk won't be booking a cottage with just a downstairs WC). I'd be happy to book again.

Thank you for taking the time to share feedback from your stay at The Granary. We do value constructive feedback especially when it will benefit future guests who have booked to stay. We hope to welcome you back anytime in the future - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“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

- Liz, August 2025

Thank you very much for your feedback. As soon as we were made aware of your concerns regarding dampness, our maintenance team promptly visited the property. They conducted a thorough inspection during and after your stay and confirmed that there were no signs of damp. They also recommended opening the windows and curtains to improve ventilation. We would also like to note that The Granary is a historic building, which some guests may find has a unique character that may not suit everyone’s preferences. Our management team has confirmed that you stayed at the property for the full week despite your concerns. After your departure, The Granary was inspected again, and no issues with dampness were found. We’re sorry to hear that the property did not meet your expectations Property Owner

“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.

- Stuart, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We agree it is extremely good value! The property is full of character and the location in this part of Cornwall is typically surrounded by lanes which become muddy at times. Along with the nil light pollution - this can be considered as part of the appeal by other guests, however, we understand that the cottage and location may not be suitable for your own requirements which can be difficult to find in this part of the county, therefore it is worth having a chat with us before you book. The TV has since been upgraded to a HD Smart TV and the hob replaced with new - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“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.

- Andrew, July 2024

We are delighted to hear that you loved The Granary and it exceeded your expectations. Thank you for being such great guests and sharing a lovely review of your stay. If not already aware, Visit Cornwall is usually a good reference for information on footpaths etc. We hope you will visit us again anytime in the future - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.

“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.

- Catherine, August 2023

I am sorry that your stay was spoiled by some noisy guests at the neighbouring properties over the August Bank holiday. The cottages at Tregwarmond Mill are normally praised for providing a very peaceful environment for guests. Thank you for your helpful feedback and in particular for pointing out the staining in the bathroom. We have taken immediate action to check this out and found a small leak had developed in a pipe close to the toilet which has now been repaired. The skirting board has been replaced and all paintwork made good. We have also displayed clear instructions to operate the oven close to the appliance for the convenience of our guests.

“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

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a fabulous stay and had the perfect base to explore the local area from! - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Katherine May 2022

“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.

- Katherine, May 2022

Thank you for taking your time to provide us with your feedback. I am very sorry that you were unable to get the oven working. The oven was new in 2021 and the operation of the knobs can be a little complex. We will leave instructions in a more visible place for future guests. We will also ensure that our guests are given better instructions to find The Granary as we are aware that the postcode does not give the exact location. We wish to assure all of our guests that waste from Tregwarmond Mill is recycled at the depot by Biffa Collection Services. We have been told that only 4% of the waste from Tregwarmond Mill went to landfill in 2021. Property Owner

“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

Rohit July 2021

“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.

- Rohit, July 2021

We are sorry to hear that you had issues with the drawers in the kitchen and we will look into this as a priority. We have taken on board your feedback about directions to the house and we have now updated these. It’s great to hear you would consider coming back next year! Property Owner

“Great location central to visit lots of beaches.”

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

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your holiday at The Granary! Property Owner
Bridget July 2021

“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.

- Bridget, July 2021

Thank you for your helpful feedback. We have now updated the directions to ensure that it is straightforward for our guests to find The Granary. We are sorry that the property smelt damp on the arrival of guests when the previous week had been unusually wet and cold for July. The property is regularly checked for any signs of damp and appropriate work has been carried out over the years to ensure the cottage remains damp free. Property Owner

The property

The Granary is a delightful, spacious character cottage in a peaceful country setting within a small group of beautifully converted mill buildings, just 3 miles from North Cornwall's sandy beaches.

This self-catering holiday cottage is a handy base for the many varied attractions, with Rock, Polzeath and Port Isaac just a few minutes drive away.

With a private enclosed garden and patio area plus ample parking spaces and room for a boat trailer, the property sleeps 5 people in 2 bedrooms, perfect for a family.

There is the addition of an outside shed for storage of equipment and a water tap for washing off sandy toes, wetsuits and dogs. Return from an exhilarating day on the beach to this tranquil spot off the beaten track.

The homely and well-furnished open plan kitchen/living area has French doors to the garden; handy for alfresco family suppers and drinks on a warm day.

The main bedroom has a cheerful double bed, while the generous second bedroom has 3 single beds; great fun for children to share.

If the weather turns chilly, a modern flexible heating system will keep you warm and cosy.Perfectly located to explore the North Cornish coast, there is a choice of beautiful beaches to visit; check out Daymer Bay, its mellow sands are a safe and relaxed play haven for children.

Swimming, paddling, dam-building across one of the little streams, hide and seek in the dunes - all make this beach a heavenly destination for young children.

Head to Polzeath beach for a cool surfing vibe; surf schools and kit hire give you every opportunity to have a go; or just get in the sea for an enlivening swim or body-board.

Those who don't want to get wet will appreciate long rambles on the coastal paths with awe-inspiring views over the cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean, or even trying their hand at tennis, golf, cycling and much much more.

Accommodation: Open plan Sitting Room/Kitchen/Dining area with french doors to Garden Bedroom 1: Double Bed (4ft 6) Bedroom 2: Single Beds x 3 and ample space for a travel cot (not provided) Bathroom/Shower/W.C.
