Aaa getaway retreat

The property was quaint, small, quite, just what we needed for two of us and 2 other adults visiting for one week. A little challenging for adults in our 70s with the different levels of stairs. I would recommend to friends who want to get away,,

Perfect holiday cottage

A real home from home; this beautiful cottage is cosy and welcoming. It is spacious and thoughtfully designed. The owner was extremely helpful and responsive. In an ideal location near to the moor and the coast. All the facilities you need are nearby in Camelford. We had a wonderfully relaxing break in your fabulous holiday cottage. Thank you very much.

Cornwall stay

Fern cottage is a lovely little cottage. It’s let down by not being cleaned throughly. The cottage stank of dogs wee, the mop was disgusting and unfit to use. The kitchen work surfaces could do with being oiled as they are wooden and due for a good clean. Upstairs was clean, beds and bedding clean and fresh. However both bathrooms were not so I had to give them a good clean myself. Fern cottage could be really lovely with a competent cleaner and a lick of paint in the kitchen. Despite all this we did enjoy our stay, Fern cottage is ideally situated for lots of interesting places and I’m sure once these things are addressed we would like to return at some point.

Leaking roof - Needs to be fixed.

The house in itself is nice. It is in not a bad location and was warm and comfortable on a wet week in October. The main problem was that the roof leaks badly into the master bedroom, through a large plasterboard sheet with 8 halogen spotlights in it. The owner was called as soon as this was known, and advised it only happens when it rains hard. Which it did, every day. When mentioning the lights, I was advised that the electrical circuit was safe, which it can only be if done to marine specifications. You would fix the roof first! I shut down power to the master bedroom and located a bucket under the drip, however there is water evidence coming down into the lounge and the ceiling lights in the roof had started to fail. We moved to the second bedroom. Fix this and it is a good property. Until then it should not be used.

Camelford comfy cottage

Had a lovely week staying in this unique stone cottage just outside Camelford. Great base for exploring many of Cornwalls popular towns and villages. Also close to Bodmin Moor, where a walk up Roughtor is a must! Camelford had an excellent pub and chip shop as well as a Spar and Co-op for essentials!

Cute cottage in reach of everywhere

We had such a lovely week in Fern Cottage. We were 3 adults and it had plenty of space for us to do things together- and separately! Very spacious bedrooms, 2 cosy sitting rooms and a kitchen complete with an Aga style stove. Camelford itself is not that exciting a place, but it has all you need and there are lovely walks very close to the house and fab beaches and other places not too far away. Host Julia could not have been more helpful or flexible- highly recommended!

Goregous Stay At Fern Cottage!

We had a wonderful week in Cornwall and Fern Cottage was an excellent base. A lovely, homely, quirky cottage which has been lovingly updated and enjoyed by others. Plenty of room for our three children, who loved the use of the body boards...and became quite addicted to the surf!! It was a great place to relax after a hard day eating fish and chips, ice creams and pasties!!

Fern Cottage is a cosy but deceptively spacious cottage in a pretty and quiet hamlet.

Fern Cottage is a cosy but deceptively spacious cottage in a pretty and quiet hamlet. It is in a perfect spot for trips to many beaches and popular towns and villages on the north Cornwall coast but also on the edge of Bodmin Moor so it provides the best of both worlds. Recommended for families, walkers and dog owners. The owners are very helpful and responsive and have created a homely and comfortable holiday home. It was a great pleasure to stay there and we hope to return. Thank-you

Lovely cottage which has been thoughtfully modernised in keeping with the original features.

Warm and welcoming with tea, coffee and biscuits. The cottage was quirky but with a delightful sun room and gorgeous master bedroom with en-suite. Close to picturesque spots such as Port Isaac, Padstow and Roughtor. Our October stay was blessed with good weather and we enjoyed blustery walks along the coast with our dog. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Great cottage, lovely location only a few miles from either the moors or the super beaches

We had a great stay, plenty of room for 5 adults and a teenager plus the dog. Within easy distance of great places to visit for days out, some lovely places to eat and relax. We had a great time despite the weather, only small issue was parking when we had 2 cars but managed to get one car where advised and the other in the next road. Will definitely be on our list to revisit.

Lovely little cottage with all the home comforts.

Fern cottage is perfect for exploring the beautiful coast and inland to the moors. Really characterful and with a lovely little garden, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's ideal for families, very child friendly from the stair gates provided to the big box of family games and dvd's. Camelford village is a short walk away and has a wonderfully quirky pub with delicious food and a supermarket and take away options. We enjoyed the use of the barbecue at the cottage and were truly sorry to leave after a relaxing week. Definitely recommended!

Really enjoyed our week in beautiful Cornwall and being able to come back to the lovely comfortable Fern Cottage. A fantastic base to explore Tintagel and a great National Trust Walk at Crackington Haven. We also enjoyed The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Eden Project and St Michaels Mount. Also so many lovely walks and breathtaking scenery. The cottage is very comfortable, feels homely and clean, a lovely touch was tea,milk and Cornish biscuits on arrival. Thank you for a great holiday!

OUR "FOODIE" HOLIDAY TO BEAUTIFUL CORNWAL

Oh how we wish we were back at Fern Cottage! It really is an idyllic holiday cottage nestled in a little Cornish hamlet. It's everything you hope it's going to be .. and more! The accommodation is beautifully furnished, and the cottage is fully equipped with all mod cons but still retains its old-fashioned character and charm with its beamed ceilings and of course The Rayburn in the gorgeous country kitchen!! The property was clean, the beds really comfortable, the En suite Roll Top Bath a real luxury! It was extremely well maintained with everything we needed for our stay and more! There is easy access from the cottage onto the moors for superb walks yet you are only minutes away by car from Camelford when you need to stock up on essentials from the Co-op! Excellent location for visiting surrounding coastline and the pretty countryside. We can thoroughly recommend the little seafood market at beautiful Port Isaac (get there early to avoid the rush in peak holiday times!!), the beautiful big pasties from Penganna Pasties in the lovely scenic town of Tintagel and days on the spectacular beaches at Polzeath or the beautiful Constantine Bay and Widemouth Bay. Our favourite pub was The Malsters Arms in Chapel Amble and we spent a wonderful evening at The Mill House Inn restaurant in Tintagel - magical setting and stunning food. We will definitely be booking again and we can thoroughly recommend to all without hesitation! Jo, Nick, Tom & Charlotte xxx
