Forest View

Lovely property (barn conversion with a contemporary feel) located on a farm down a long drive so you’re a long way away from a road (no traffic noise). The house is well equipped. We used the main bedroom which had a huge bed and the biggest bath I’ve ever seen in the en-suite. The wood burner, in the upstairs lounge, made for a lovely atmosphere on the cooler autumn evenings. The big garden is enclosed and was ideal for our two collies to run around in. There are walks right from the doorstep around the farm. We drove to Tamar Lakes to walk the dogs (easy, flat walk around a reservoir) which had a nice little cafe (check their website as the cafe is not open every day although the lake is). We also went to Sandymouth Beach (nice cafe here too with a National Trust car park) and we walked along the beach and the cliff tops to Bude. We also visited Arlington Court (NT), Staunton Sands Beach and Marwood Hill Gardens which are old haunts of ours, all dog friendly but took approx 50 minutes to drive to these as the roads are tiny and windy! Loved our stay here and hope to return. Thank you ...

Lovely property and we really enjoyed our two week stay in the August heat wave! Lovely spacious and well equipped cottage with and upside down layout (bedrooms on ground floor). This allows the cottage to take best advantage of the massive elevated decking which really is on of the best features of this cottage. Very friendly owners on site who were happy for us to explore the 212 acres of woodland. The access road to property is quite poor in places with significant rutting and pot holes and could potentially damage cars without good ground clearance. On the plus side, because of this remoteness, you get fantastic dark night skies - perfect for stargazing! The setting is beautiful and tranquil but there are a couple of points people should be aware if they are wanting a total escape: 1) there are a few other holiday lets in the vicinity so be aware you could be subject to noisy neighbours. 2) this is a working farm and they produce kiln dried timber. The kiln is adjacent to the decking of Forest View so if the kiln is operational then there will be a low level (and to be fair unobtrusive) background noise....

We travelled with 3 adults and 3 border collies. The cottage was lovely and the decking veranda and gardens were a real treat for the dogs. The owners were very welcoming and available if any problems should have arisen. They did not but it was good to know. Lovely location. Great accommodation. Fab stay. I would recommend to anyone with dogs with walks from the doorstep and lots of dog friendly beaches within 50 min drive. The garden is secure but not escape proof if you have a determined fur baby. ...
