Penpont Mill - Christmas 2011 - Thanks for another wonderful stay at Penpont Mill. Mince pies and decorations were a lovely welcome and we soon had a roaring fire - bliss!! Santa managed to find Luka and Neve and we all started Christmas Day at 5.40am! The carol service was amazing - best sing song we've had for ages. Mum's 80th Birthday party was great on Christmas Day - we all feel so at home here and can't wait to visit again.

November
Smeathers - Our 2 year old has really enjoyed the swimming pool, pets corner and the ball pool . We also have loved the cottage. Already booked to come back again in September 2012!
Penpont Mill - Having first visited Penpont Mill to celebrate Martin's 50th birthday, we returned again to celebrate his 60th - having been 3 times in between. Have had a wonderful week - lots of swimming and running the dogs on the local beaches, where our toddler grand daughter enjoyed collecting sea shells and star fish in the rock pools. This is a lovely place to stay, kick back and relax. Reluctantly we now have to return home, but we hope you will allow us to return.
October
Mayfield - Fun, freedom & safety for our children. The whole set-up & ambience was spot-on. We had a wonderful time. Everything beat our best expectations. What was advertised as available, was available, with no catches. Site fabulous as were the staff. Area and beaches great. Tractor ride terrific.
Marsh - As a short relaxing break for a few days, we found The Olde House ideal. We wil certainly recommend it to friends who are looking for a holiday in Cornwall.
Honeysuckle - Cottages very homely and well equipped. Staff very friendly and pleasant. We arrived on a Sunday so Reception not open, however, not a problem. Everything was waiting for us, including note on Reception door. Cottage cleaned to excellent standard and has everything you could need.
Rose - The children loved the leisure centre and the selection of animals is lovely. We had a lovely holiday and found the staff to be very helpful.
Lower Stable - Friendly relaxed atmosphere. Great to have indoor facilities when it rained. Wish we'd known about you years ago when the children were small.Very organised, friendly and efficient. Flowers and scones a lovely touch, nice welcome. Looking forward to our next visit.
Chestnut - It was a very pleasant stay, children loved it, they enjoyed the space, swimming pool, the animals and the friends they have made, the only problem was it was time to go home sooner than we would have liked. Thank you The Olde House Team for such a lovely half term break.
Laurel - Delighted to see you have 'gone green'. The field of solar panels was very impressive and we were delighted to re-cycle the bottles, tins, paper & cardboard. Congratulations on your Silver Award. Loved doing the washing up looking at your cattle.
Penpont Mill - Thank you for a fantastic holiday. Penpont Mill is such a tonic. Just the place to re-charge the batteries! We had the most amazing surf with a seal at Polzeath - a real special moment. Look forward to seeing you at New Year.

The Retreat - What a great cottage in a great location with great facilities for our kids. We had an awesome time.
July
Ivy - We love it here. Our 3/4 stay. It is a safe place for our children to explore quite freely, close to great beaches and other great places to visit. Website and brochure - neither do justice to all the facilities and cottages at The Olde House.
Meadow View - Relax and let go in a home from home. The cottage is delightful, cleanliness is impeccable. Having discovered the delights of The Olde House we will absolutely return regularly. I would recommend the place to family and friends without hesitation. Really lovely play areas, beautifully kept grounds. Comfortable beds with good quality linen.
Ridgeway Park - Thank you for the fantastic 10 day holiday. From the moment we arrived everything exceeded our expectations and we enjoyed our best family holiday yet. Our children aged 8 and 4 had a wonderful time and although we went to the beach each morning they couldn't wait to get back to The Olde House in the afternoons to go in the playbarn, play outside and swim in the lovely warm pool. Feeding the animals each day was also great and Kevin made them feel very helpful and made it fun. During our stay nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very welcome. We loved it so much that before we left we booked for 2 weeks next year and can't wait to come back.
Hawthorn - Been coming since about 1984 - something must be right!
Elm - Everything here is perfect. Every staff member is kind and helpful, very relaxed place to have spent 3 months. Everywhere was kept very clean and tidy, would always stay here again. Thank you.
Lower Stable - Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Lots here for my son to do, loved seeing all the animals plus Sam and Tody the dogs. Very much looking forward to our stay in October. Thank you.
Laurel - The position of the site in relation to good beaches and places of interest. The laundry facilities were very good. The gardens were colourful and well cared for.
It was nice to be able to add the extra day to our holiday - not something many other places offer.
Ivy - Beautiful location and great facilities for the children.
Holly - The Olde House was a very nice place to stay, had lots of facilities and felt very safe. Would recommend to family that live in England.

Daisy - The facilities were fantastic for our baby, she loved the farm, pool, playground and the play barn. Fantastic location in Cornwall.
Thank you! We had a great time and we will definitely visit again!
Honeysuckle - We think The Olde House is better then the brochure presents. We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very clean and is well situated. Im sure we will return.
Poppy - Location is near to beaches and lovely scenery. Enjoyed costal walks and the nice country setting.
Ivy - We have enjoyed staying at The Olde House and visiting places around Cornwall. We really enjoyed going to The Eden Project, Newquay, Paradise Park, St Ives, Port Isaac and Lands End. I am happy recommend The Olde House to friends. Great prices, clean cottages and good facilties. Thanks for everything.
Bramble - We have had a lovely holiday. The Olde House provides great accommodation that is clean and well equipped. The grounds and gardens are well looked after with hardly any restrictions. Our little grand daughter (and the grown up too) loved the animals, the play barn and the park. The swimming pool was enjoyed by all. Always something to do, no waiting for the sun to come out or the rain to stop, but we only had one wet day so lots of tanned faces to show off when we get home. Thanks for a great time.
Smeathers - It was lovely to see the scones upon arrival, they were delicious! We felt that nothing at all would be too much trouble and we would all love to return again very soon for a longer stay.
June
Mayfield - We just love the feel of the place, so relaxing. The children loved feeding the animals, the softplay and the swimming pool.
Higher Stable - Thank you for a lovely holiday, we will come again next year! Also thank you for the yummy cream tea on arrival, a lovely idea.
Lower Stable - Attention to detail is excellent, everything is included in the cottage to make settling in very easy. An excellent short break, and lovely scones.
Bramble - It was nice that families could come and all eat together, use facilites but have their own cottage. The Olde House is in a good location for exploring local places of interest. The playbarn and outside play area was great as well, small children were kept amused.
