What People Say!
Here are some thoughts from our most recent customers.
April
Smeathers - We had to change where we stayed three years ago after staying at Port Isaac for twenty five years. We had three young grandchildren and were looking for somewhere that had facilities for them, but also did not want to be part of a camp site environment. Happily we found The Olde House which was everything we wanted. Roll on the next twenty five year :)
By Eleanor (Primrose Cottage 4th April 2013)
Greenbank - A wonderful stay. The children loved the pool and animals and this was a lovely base for exploring the beaches etc.
Primrose - Thank you so much for another amazing holiday. We've had another fantastic week, so much so that I've been looking at availability for the summer before we've even left! It's so nice to bring the kids somewhere they can get involved. They've really enjoyed feeding the lambs and helping Kevin, and Andrew's trailer ride was another highlight.
March
Hazel - Jacob (age 8) It is one of my favourite places to go! I love the farm part like the chickens. It was lovely to see the hens wandering about the place! The welcome on arrival was fab! The staff were very welcoming and ready for us. The cream tea was just what the doctor order and the boys were delighted to even find an easter egg each waiting for them!
February
The Retreat - This must be our 5th visit - it's become a family tradition - we stay here with our grandsons and our daughter's family stay at The Olde House. We love it here - the cottage, the village, the beaches, the Camel Trail and Aunt Avice's pasties. Also now the Quiz Night and Sunday lunch at the Maltsters.
November
The Retreat - Have had a fabulous short break at this lovely cottage. We enjoyed wonderful meals at the Maltsters and St Kew Inn. Had a very soggy, but fun walk around Padstow. The cottage was really well equipped and we noted that it would be perfect for the kids too. We hope to return for a family holiday soon.
Penpont Mill - Penpont Mill has provided us with a lovely, warm, cosy and comfortable family break. The cream tea on arrival was a treat and a great start to the holiday! The house has everything you need, particularly in the kitchen department and the open fire was certainly a bonus. V.cosy!
October
Ridgeway Park - Thank you for having us in this lovely 'cottage'. We especially liked the scones and the open fire! and the springy grass in the garden. Everything has been perfect. Thank you.

The Retreat - We've hit the jackpot with a week of glorious weather in a dreadful summer and enjoyed every bit of our stay. The cottage is comfortable, the village is beautifully tranquil and well placed to visit the coast from Port Isaac to Newquay and the rest of central Cornwall. Being this close to the pub is a real bonus. Thank you so much for the cream tea and flowers on arrival - they really made us feel welcome and settled in Cornwall.

Honeysuckle - We love coming to The Olde House - we have a fantastic family holiday here every year. We enjoy the peace and quiet of The Olde House's location. It is also very safe for our children to go off and play on their own.
Hawthorn - Another great holiday for all ages (2, 30's and 50's) Everything was as wonderful as last year, neat, clean and relaxed atmosphere. We go home everytime wishing we could stay longer. The weather was mixed but still plenty to do on site and around Cornwall.
June
Higher Stable - The cottage was clean, comfortable and very well equiped. The location is quiet, ideal for a break away from the city. We enjoyed the lovely local coastal walks. The cream tea and flowers on arrival was much appreciated.
Primrose - Thank you for a great holiday. The weather hasnt been the greatest but with all the facilties on site it didnt affect our great time away. We will see you again next year.

Elm - We enjoyed the quick access to the local beaches. The cottage was an easy comfy place to stay. The pool and animals for the kids were great. Having the laundryclose by was also a bonus. Elm has parking next to the cottage which is ideal for unloading after a long journey! We will be back.

Greenbank - back for a 3rd time with other family in The Retreat . Visited loads of places plus enjoyed the garden watching the birds feeding their young. Chapel Amble is great.
Ridgeway Park - a beautiful clean 'cottage' in lovely surroundings and fabulous views. All of us have enjoyed this stay and would definatley return and after a long journey a Cornish cream tea was waiting - fabulous!
Primrose - We have really enjoyed our stay at The Olde House. Thank you very much :)
Ivy - Just want to say its 'Awesome'.
April
The Retreat - This has been a lovely holiday with the on-site facilities being a huge hit for our 4 and 3 year old - they loved helping Kevin with the animals and the 'responsibility' of feeding and cleaning the animals out.
Plumtree - Thank you for making us feel very welcome and thank you for always helping when we had a query.
Lower Stable - We have enjoyed everything on site, the friendliness of all the staff (including the animals) even those working on the farm. My son (2 years old) loved the ability to see the working and the tractors. For a young family with a very active 2 year old this site is fabulous. There is enough to occupy them should the weather or circumstances mean a day is spent on site. We are checking the diaries for our next trip. I can't wait!
March
