What guests are saying
Farlands is a superb property close to Daymer Bay.
Large rooms, lots of space for two families sharing half term holiday. Teenagers enjoyed the pool table and surfing. Even during the storms it is a wonderful house to hunker down in with a glass of wine and a game of scrabble.
An ideal holiday home for large multigenerational families.
Adults loved it, teens loved it, kids loved - and even the dog loved it. Wonderful house in a brilliant location for Polzeath, Rock, Trebetherick, Padstow etc. Wonderful views over the camel Estuary and Brae Hill. Ideal for golf at St Enodoc GC.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed a wonderful holiday in beautiful North Cornwall and enjoyed all Farlands and its surroundings had to offer. We hope to welcome you again in the future. The Owners
We had a very enjoyable time at Farlands ,lots of space and v comfortable,the key box was difficult to get into ,and would have liked feather pillows and the kitchen hot water was not great otherwise all good
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are delighted to hear that you had an enjoyable stay at Farlands. Thank you for bringing to our attention the issue with the key box and hot water in the kitchen, we will be sure to investigate this. We hope to welcome you back for another stay! - John Bray Cornish Holidays, responding on behalf of the owner.
We had a great week at Farlands with three generations of our family, enjoying the local beaches and walks around the Camel estuary.
The house was very comfortable and well situated with parking for three cars. We were disappointed with the garden having thought that there was a secluded back garden for children to play in, but this didn’t impinge upon our enjoyment. After leaving, Sykes were rather difficult to work with as we thought that we had left a Tilley hat at the property and despite getting through to an employee, no further word either way has been received. They also seemed disinterested when on the day before departure, we reported problems with the handles in two internal doors which fell off on arrival.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the property and it fabulous location. We are sorry to hear that you faced difficult regarding lost property, I am aware that this has been found and is being reunited with yourselves. I can also confirm the issue with the door handles has been fully resolved and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review. - John Bray Cornish Holidays, responding on behalf of the owner.
Great house for a family gathering, very spacious with great views.
Our only small gripe was the fact that the jack Russell size dog could easily escape from the garden down the side of the gate, out onto the road.
So pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Farlands, the space and the views. It is a super venue for a family gathering, as you mention. Thank you also for raising your concern around the side of the front gate. Whilst we have installed chicken wire around much of the garden, we appreciate your note about the side of the front gate. The Owners.
Farlands is a great property, which provided everything we needed.
What we missed was the detailed support and local knowledge that the John Bray company used to provide. Sykes staff were not able to answer detailed questions : type of coffee machine etc, because they did not seem to know the property
Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations, particularly around the level of support and local knowledge. I wanted to let you know that I was personally replying to your emails and am based in our local office, but I apologise that this didn’t come across or provide the help you needed. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed Farlands and found it a great property. We do appreciate your comments and will take them on board to improve how we share property details in future. - John Bray Cornish Holiday's on behlaf of the owners.
Sykes were almost impossible to get through to before I went I wanted to know if a couple of things were available (baby gate etc) no one contacted me.
While we were there the front door jammed, I phoned the local office which went through to somewhere up north and they initially couldn’t contact the local office! Farlands itself was lovely but I wouldn’t go again as the personal touch has definitely gone.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about the difficulty you experienced trying to get in touch with us before your stay. We completely understand how important it is to confirm details such as the availability of items such as a baby gate, and we apologise that no one came back to you. That’s certainly not the level of service we aim to provide. We’re also sorry for the frustration caused when the front door jammed. While your initial call was routed through our central line, as soon as we in the local office were made aware of the issue with the lock, we ensured that a member of our team attended the property as soon as possible. It’s lovely to hear that you found Farlands itself to be a beautiful property, but we’re genuinely disappointed that the overall experience left you feeling that the personal touch has gone. That is never our intention, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us identify where we need to improve. Thank you again for your honesty, and we’re truly sorry we didn’t meet your expectations on this occasion. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owners.
We had the most wonderful family Christmas at Farlands.
There were 8 adults, 5 young children and 1 dog. Our Cornish family visited most days too, with 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The house was so comfortable, incredibly well equipped with stunning views across the estuary, over Brea Hill to Padstow and we loved our daily dog walk across the fields to Daymer.
It is lovely to hear how much you enjoyed your family Christmas at Farlands. Thank you for taking time to share this feedback. It is great to hear that you found Farlands to be both comfortable and well-equipped and to hear what a super time you had with family. The Owners.

A lovely property with all the facilities needs for a perfect family holiday base.
Great kitchen, cozr/ comfortable lounge areas, nice and quiet bedrooms. Games area (pool and darts) were very welcome. So clean and well presented. All in all, just how the ‘other half’ must live and perfect for us!
We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Farlands and found it comfortable, clean and well presented. We do hope you had a fabulous holiday in beautiful North Cornwall and hope to welcome you and your family again in the future. The Owners.

A well placed immaculate property, a pleasure to stay in.
We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your Cornish break and found Farlands immaculate and well placed. We do hope to welcome you again one day. The Owners
So frustrating never being able to speak to anyone…tried for nearly 2 weeks in April/may…
We hope you enjoyed your time at Farlands, but are sorry to hear you had issues in contacting the Sykes team. We do value your feedback and will escalate this. The Owners
Enjoyed the weekend in this beautiful house in a great location.
We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your time at Farlands and found the house beautiful and that the location was great. Thank you for your positive feedback and we hope to welcome you to Farlands again in the future. The Owners
Farlands was perfect for us, five friends on a painting holiday.
It is so comfortable and roomy, very clean and well equipped. The only problem we had was before our holiday began. We had a question, and communication with Sykes was very difficult. No email address, no chatbot for any questions outside of their standards questions, a telephone number that will take bookings only.
We are so pleased to hear that you had a wonderful painting holiday with friends and that you found Farlands to be comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Sorry to hear of the difficulty you found in contacting Sykes prior to arrival. We will ensure that this is escalated to the office and hope that we might welcome you again in the future. The Owners
What a beautiful home in a great location.
The quality of the furnishings and contents were good. Lots of space and loved the views. Having two dishwashers and wash area outside were very popular! The bathrooms were plenty and very clean but probably could do with an upgrade. Would definitely return.
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive feedback about Farlands. We are pleased you had a lovely stay and found Farlands to be very clean whilst having everything you needed. We do appreciate all feedback and take on board all that that is shared. We hope to welcome you back to Farlands and the beautiful north Cornish coastline in the future. The Owners comments. We hope to welcome you again to the beautiful north Cornish coa
We thought the house was in a fantastic position , well maintained and all kitchen equipment provided was well thought out .
Couldn’t have wished for more . The games room ,although a great place to hang out , now needs some attention . Darts were broken , and different games are incomplete . There were 10 people in our group and we had a couple of movie nights it would have been nice to have a couple more comfy chairs in the upstairs lounge as some of us had to sit on the floor . Overall a beautiful house to stay in and we would love to have a return visit . Thank you .
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. All suggestions/comments can be viewed by the property owner so these are appreciated. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.
This is our second stay at Farlands and we loved it just as much this time.
It is just the comfiest house with everything we could need. All the rooms are spacious and it is so well equipped. I love that there is an area by the front door where we can store stuff, and the utility room is a huge bonus. It makes such a difference staying in a house where there is proper space for everything and everyone, especially when the weather is less than perfect. All in all we had a wonderful stay and we love Farlands! Thank you
Thank you for taking time to feedback all you enjoyed about Farlands. It is lovely to hear you have enjoyed a second visit to our home-away-from-home and we hope to welcome you again. The Owners, Farlands
Absolutely beautiful house.
We have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and will look forward to returning in the future.
Lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay at Farlands and all that beautiful Daymer Bay has to offer. Thank you for the lovely feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. The Owners
Our family of three generations had a wonderful holiday in Farlands.
We chose Farlands because of its location and it looked good on the website. We were not disappointed when we saw the real thing. The house is absolutely perfect for large groups and had everything in it that we could possibly need. We would certainly consider coming again, perhaps in the spring or summer when we could make use of the terraces and balconies.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are very happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay, and that the property suited all of your needs. We look forward to hopefully welcoming you back in the spring or summer time - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.
4 generations of our family aged from 10 weeks to 78 years spent a fabulous week at Farlands the house was beautiful clean and the views from upstairs lounge superb we hope to return next year
It sounds like you all had a great family stay, thank you for sharing this with us. We do hope you choose to book with John Bray Cornish Holidays again.
I was looking for a pet friendly property, this was advertised as so.
But it was not. We have 2 tiny dogs and spent the entire time with them tied up when needed to go for a wee as the garden was not secure and the gate opened straight out onto a busy road. The grass was overgrown and only on Monday did the gardener turn up unannounced.The best room (lounge) is upstairs but dogs aren’t allowed up there yet there is not a stair gate? So again more stress keeping them downstairs (at home they are family pets and allowed everywhere in the house) and all of the doors shut. So as a family we didn’t use the garden at all. The back garden is concrete and not maintained, in fact we couldn’t use the washing line as was entangled with leaves and branches from the tree above. The games room only had one dart ? And on Wednesday August 16 there was a power cut from 9 ish until 6pm!! So much of our fridge food had to be thrown away. When we spoke to a neighbour they told us it was planned works. We then found a letter in the porch which envelope said in red bold writing “important information of electric disruption “( also addressed to occupier dated august 2) which said about the booked works although it stated on/off it was almost 9 solid hours. We should of been made aware as this was very inconvenient. We weren’t happy with the checkin/out times. In 4 pm and out 9.30 am. That’s a day lost. The house it self is lovely ,but with dogs it was not enjoyable. Had we of know we would of found a genuine pet friendly property.
Thank you for your feedback and good to hear you found Farlands to be a lovely house. I am sorry to hear of the inconvenience you had with the planned power cut. John Bray were notified of this and it appears this was not communicated to you as guests. The garden is to the front of the house and the rear of the house is not advertised as additional garden space. We do try to ensure the grass is cut prior to a guest's arrival, but unfortunately the gardeners have had to work around the inclement weather with grass-cutting this year. The garden is fenced and gated with the addition of chicken wire to ensure the safety of dogs. Sorry to hear that you didn't feel that your two tiny dogs were secure. We are dog-owners ourselves and understand people want to enjoy beautiful Cornwall with their four-legged friends. Farlands is available to those with or without dogs, so we do encourage dogs to be kept downstairs for any guests with allergies. We hope that the large entrance porch and utility room provide ample space for dogs when the guests are enjoying the use of the upstairs sitting room. There is also the use of the downstairs sitting room, where dogs are allowed. We hope you continue to enjoy Cornwall with your dogs in the future wherever you choose to stay.
Just the loveliest house.
Everything has been cleverly thought out and beautifully done. Loved the hot outdoor shower leading straight into indoor wetsuit hanging area which made post surf chaos so much easier. Two dishwashers was also a game changer. It is so well equipped and so comfortable. We’ve been renting in Cornwall for years and this was the nicest house we’ve ever taken. Loved it.
Lovely to hear you had such a fabulous stay at Farlands. Thanks for your positive feedback about all the house has to offer. We hope to welcome you back to Farlands if you visit the beautiful Cornish coastline again. The Owner.
What a stunning house.
Perfect for our big family get together over Easter, loads of space, beautifully decorated and so comfortable. We will be back!
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Farlands near beautiful Daymer Bay. Thank you for your lovely feedback regarding the house and we hope to welcome you again.
Our stay at Farlands for Christmas was a great success.
We really appreciated the Christmas tree. The only niggle was the absence of sharp knives or a knife sharpener, which made carving a bit of a challenge! Otherwise we had a wi deregulation stay.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you had the chance to make the most of the local amenities! We appreciate you bringing the issue of lack of sharp knifes or knife sharpener. This will be investigated by our housekeeping team, promptly. We look forward to inviting you back to North Cornwall again soon. John Bray on behalf of the owner.
Farlands is a great property which definitely feels homely, even though it’s clearly a large house.
I’d definitely recommend this house.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.
It’s an extremely comfortable and well equipped house and perfect for 8 adults.
Thank you. Helena
Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a fabulous stay at Farlands and had the perfect base to explore the north Cornish coastline from! We hope to invite you back to North Cornwall soon. John Bray on behalf of the iowner.
Overall it was brilliant.
They place was very accommodating for large families and we found it a really nice place to return to after a great time at the local beaches. The only issue we feel we should raise was that the bed in the master bedroom looked as though there had been a change to the original headboard and that there dangerous spikes sticking out in line with your head. My wife got a bruise on her arm but it could lead to a serious issue for future guests. Otherwise a perfect place and we all really enjoyed our time there. Thank you!
Thank you for letting us know, we are so sorry about this. This has been passed on to maintenance to resolve. We are glad you enjoyed your holiday and look forwards to you returning. Kindest, John Bray team.
Beautiful stay at Farland, it is such a special house.
The rooms are all good sizes and the kitchen is well equipped. We normally stay in Rock so Daymer Bay was a new location for us. We enjoyed some lovely walks and lovely cream teas. The farm shop down the road is limited but does sell the most delicious cake! I would highly recommend Farland, the garden is a bit small for young children to play in but families with teenage children would love this house!!
Thank you very much for this feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Farlands and Daymer Bay so much! We hope to welcome you back in the future.
A lovely well equipped house in a good location.
Some of the doors upstairs could do with trimming, the lovely thick new carpet makes them hard to open; we couldn’t open one of the wardrobe doors in the upstairs twin room at all. The house description mentions a BBQ but we suspect it was locked in the garage; it was disappointing that John Bray didn’t get back to us about it having promised that they would. The only criticism we have is the late entry (4.30pm) and early departure time (9am) now many other properties have reverted to the pre-pandemic timings.
Thank you for your lovely feedback and good to hear you enjoyed your stay at Farlands in beautiful Trebetherick. The new carpets have been a wonderful new addition to the property and the cupboard doors upstairs have now been trimmed to accommodate the thicker pile. Sorry to hear you didn't have access to a BBQ and there is now a new kettle BBQ for guests use in the garden.
Gorgeous house, wonderful views from upstairs living room over Brae Hill.
Very well appointed. Would love to return. If looking for improvements - we would have loved to have an available BBQ. Thanks!
Thank you for all your positive feedback about Farlands and it's lovely position. We think a BBQ would be a wonderful addition to the property and there is now a new kettle BBQ available for the use of guests.
Absolutely brilliant week in Farlands.
3rd visit. Superb weather helped. Loved the new kitchen and carpet. Farlands is so comfortable for all 12 of us, has everything you could possibly need. Thank you so much for letting us share your home.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback about the new carpets, kitchen and how comfortable and spacious you found Farlands for your party of twelve. Lovely to hear you all enjoyed your time and found everything you needed.
Utterly luxurious property with loads of room .
The only downside was that there were too few mugs/cups! Apart from this Farlands was amazing. We were very happy to spend our holiday here, especially after being let down on our previous booking the day before our holiday!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback about Farlands. I am only sorry to hear that there were not enough mugs for your party. There are replacement mugs stored in a locked cupboard. Perhaps I could suggest you contact John Bray in the eventuality that you find something similar again in the future. Super to hear you finally had a wonderful break, having been previously let down.
I understand the reasons why, but the strict arrival and departure times have a big impact on both days at the beginning and end of the holiday.
Being allowed to drop items early on the day of arrival (such as frozen food) and a slightly later (10am as it used to be?) departure time would greatly increase the enjoyment of those two days. I also understand why the cost of renting houses has increased. However, the owners need to understand that inflating costs bring with it inflated expectations of those renting their houses.
Thank you for your feedback. I can hear you understand the reasoning behind the slighter later arrival time and earlier departure. The additional hour, either end, enables us to keep our housekeeping staff safe and allows for additional sanitising before the arrival of new guests. We want to ensure that our guests at Farlands have a relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable stay. At Farlands, we continue to upgrade, as necessary. A new kitchen was added in 2020/21, new garden furniture for the summer of 2021 and all carpets are being replaced this Spring (as with the pool table and dartboard). We hope that all our guests enjoy the new additions we continue to add and value your feedback. Thank you for the positive reviews on the comfort, cleanliness and facilities and we hope you had a wonderful stay.
