Lovely welcome to a clean and warm cottage in a great peaceful location. The property had everything we needed for our stay. Sue, the manager. was very helpful with information about the local area and places to eat. Loved seeing the goats and pig each morning.

Nothing, for the money, you can't fault it.

The area has parking, a good cottage, and plenty of room. The bedrooms were lovely. The shower is good, hot, and strong! Washing machine, toaster etc, all excellent!

Absolutely stunning cottage, owners are lovely , perfect place for a break and excellent value for money

Umm... Nothing much. I can't really fault the place for value. I've had nothing but fun every time I've been here. What's not to like?

The log burner, kitchen, bathroom, location and it was soo clean! I've been here about four times now and I'm probably biased about it. Love, love, love the pigmy goats and pig!

It could have been cleaner. It was a luxury property - I'd expect it to be immaculate in all ways. Leaving only two logs - in other properties we've been left a whole basket full.

Beautiful village and property. Tasteful furnishings and lovely bathroom. Well equipped.

The WiFi was on/off but they told us about this on arrival and provided an additional WiFi box (sorry I am not very tech savvy).

The accommodation was stunning and very clean. The log fire was the finishing touch :) staff were very friendly and helpful when we stayed.

The location was perfect, the accommodation was excellent very comfortable & cosy , bed was comfortable, one minor thing was that the smart tv wasn’t connected to the internet, not a problem next I’ll bring my fire stick, but overall we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay , thank you to Sue who was so helpful in our visit

- We planned to work for two days at the start of our trip, and booked as it said Wi-Fi was available in all areas. However we couldn’t get any signal where we were, and were usually unable to even find the network. Sue very kindly let us use her wireless router during our stay :) But just worth noting if others plan to use this as a base to “WFH”. - Little freezer box in the fridge doesn’t close properly, but a minor issue. - The master bedroom would benefit from a king sized bed rather than a double, but that is just personal preference.

We stayed in the Nook, which was lovely! It was clean, had everything we needed in the kitchen and gave plenty of space for two of us. It was refreshing to have the goats and pig on our doorstep, and we loved the grounds of the cottage. Having a log fire was a nice touch too. All the staff we met were great - Sue was especially helpful! It looked like there was a bus that ran outside of the property into Bude, although this wasn’t very regular. We enjoyed going into the New Inn in Kilkhampton for a drink and game of pool too!

We truly like everything - like I said we have stayed 3 times now. The only thing I would point out is we feel the bed isn't very comfortable. We stayed in the cranny cottage. Just feel it's not comfortable. Also, it's really noisy! If you so much as move your big toe the bed squeaks! Turning over in the night can actually wake your partner up. Perhaps it needs screws tightening or something? I really don't want to seem like I'm complaining because we do love it here.

We have stayed 3 times now. The staff are really lovely, Sue is so nice! Like the way she remembered my name. Made us feel very welcome.

Our stay at the cottage was flawless, with no obvious areas for improvement. Its location, nestled about 2 miles outside of the nearest town, provided an ideal blend of solitude and accessibility. However, we realized it's worth noting for future guests who might be considering it, that walking or cycling to town might not be the safest option. The connecting country road, while picturesque, tends to be quite dark and frequently used by fast-moving vehicles. We had the luxury of our own car, which rendered this a non-issue for us, though we had initially thought of doing this.

The cottage offered a delightful stay in a peaceful, rural setting. We particularly enjoyed the clear, starlit nights due to the minimal light pollution, and the cosy log fire when it turned cold. Inside, the cottage had a practical layout that we found quite pleasing. The settees, equipped with blankets, and the beds were comfortable, and the bedding was both clean and of good quality. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the basic utensils we needed, including but not limited to pans, plates, glasses, and cutlery. There was even a bottle opener on hand - most important! Overall, the cottage provided a pleasant and comfortable stay. We'd be happy to return in the future.

How helpful Sue was and the other members of the team who were there as and when we had any queries. Very lovely staff and a lovely peaceful location for the break we needed. Very dog friendly too.

It’s the second time we’ve stayed at East Thorne. We stayed in a cottage, very well-equipped, as a family of 4.

The contrast between an interesting/stimulating rural interesting environment and a place of luxury leisure is finely balanced, in general both are met. Somewhere in the mix in an inherent feeling of warmth and friendship between the owners and users which is difficult to define but clearly felt

A lot of thought and effort has been put into creating an unusual but practical small destination which offers more than one would expect in respect of simple but creative activities for children and adults. They range from table tennis, through football to a small barn which is equipped as a destination for self generated or organised events., the latter is also a useful facility if the weather is inclement

Stayed in October 2023

Bathroom could do with a bit of a refurbishment. Carpets on stairs and upstairs could be replaced, maybe.

Spacious. Very good overall.
