Excellent base in lovely location
The property was perfect for our needs but I should have checked about wifi first as this was not available but thankfully was able to connect via a hotspot on my husbands phone. The Manor House was open most nights from 7pm which was great as we got a few games of cash bingo and a quiz night! We didn't use the pool, would have booked spa treatments but these were no longer on offer which was a shame. There was plenty of cutlery and cooking items available for use. The local takeaways do close early and the Manor House doesn't do food but they allow the pizza and chippy to deliver there and you can eat them there. A few local beaches and coastal places to visit within a short drive and the London Inn pub down the road offers amazing food and friendly staff. Debbie the host was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area and amenities. We needed to use the heaters and had to buy air fresheners to keep the damp smell away (after showering) but this was not a major problem. It just meant we had to top up the electric meter but there was approx £8 on it when we arrived and we only bought another £5. I think the pathways could be better lit up at night to help you find your way back from the Manor House. All in all...a thoroughly enjoyable stay in a lovely quiet location and the booking process was exceptionally easy as was checking in and out of the property... thanks so much to Debbie.

Thankyou for your feedback. Wifi is not advertised as available however it is something I am looking into to provide it for guests next season. Lighting on the site definitely needs improving and updated the site management have assured owners it is something they are dealing with. Regarding the comments made about the shower and mpisture I was very surprised as this is the 1st time I have had issues with it..Thete is an extracor fan in bathroom which if used helps with the problems you encountered. I honestly believed that the extra air freshners were due to ypu having your dog with uou. Glad that overall you enjoyed.

Lovely holiday
We had a lovely stay, Debbie was quick to answer questions & help if any problems. She has beach bits to borrow which our little girl loved, it was ideal for our holiday.

Lovely Stay and Lovely hosts
This was my first real venture out of the house in 60 weeks, as a long Covid sufferer (with complications) Debbie - the host helped made me feel totally safe and secure. Answered all my questions in advanced and even allowed the property to be in occupied 3 days before arrival. The property itself is very adequate, a great kitchen, a well proportioned longe come dinner, a really confortable double bed, another room with 2 twin beds. The bathroom was great - only downside was I really love a powerful shower (this shower was very good) just because of it being a chalet - getting a real power pressure must be hard ! There was great parking for the property and we found it great getting around everywhere - Tintagel was 30 min drive for example - Lands End would be a much longer drive - but we had so much on the doorstep! Debbie was the perfect host and when we had a medical emergency she was so helpful and on hand ! A host with the most ! We hope to return as this was a great place in a very tranquil part of Cornwall !

Soggy feet and dog.
Perfect base to explore surrounding areas. Chalet was very clean, everything we needed. Debbie (the owner) was a fountain of knowledge about local eateries and useful information. We would definitely stay again. We were unlucky with the weather to begin with but after a few wet and cold days the sun came out.

Lovely cosy chalet near Bude
We had a great time at Debbie’s chalet with our dog. It is cosy and comfortable and was very clean. The park is ideal if you have a dog- lots of space to walk them and not far from the beach at Bude.

We had a lovely Easter break.
We had good service from Debbie. The chalet was clean and well appointed. The use of the Manor facilities was great fun and we all enjoyed the heated indoor pool after a physical game of squash.

Beautiful Bude and Penstowe
As this was so out of season we were well impressed with the chalet, it was clean and tidy. The indoor pool was fantastic for the children to use.As it was out of season it was a quiet nice break. We visited some of the local beaches and obviously took great delight in tasting the pasties.The owner was extremely helpful and we look forward to booking again in the near future.
