Reviews of Kernock CottagesWe started with www.mycottageholiday.co.uk and in 2014 added UpFrontReviews, the first verified holiday cottage reviews in the UK. It is really helpful both to us and to other guests if you can leave a reviews after your stay – they help us to continually improve our offer, and are useful to other guests to make sure we do what it says on the tin!
We don’t major on TripAdvisor reviews (though we do have some lovely ones, and get 5*s overall on there) because Trip Advisor charge self caterers a substantial sum for the review facility through their sister company Holiday Lettings, and as we don’t have an active listing, they could disappear at any time. Their offer for businesses is constantly changing and we will review again from time to time. In the meantime there over 250 reviews on the three sites below for you to read.
The two cottages were exactly what we were looking for. Very clean, comfortable, and in a lovely location. We were well catered for, and so was our dog! When required, we received information for eating out, walks etc, and there is a full info book in the cottage. We used a local cordon bleu chef, for a meal in our cottage for a special occasion , who came recommended, which was lovely. We will definitely return in the future.
Your cottage was above and beyond our expectations, finished and fitted to an excellent standard that really helped us to enjoy our summer break regardless of the unpredictable weather. However, the thing that impressed us most was your flexibility, friendliness and welcoming attitude. We had a number of awkward requests, such as arriving early, asking for an additional cot on the day of arrival and requirement for 6 days rather than 7, but nothing seemed to be too much trouble for you. The icing on cake was when you discovered Will (our one year old) loved trains and arrived at the door with a huge train set which kept him happy all week. These little touches and your helpfulness really made our holiday – thank you so much. We will most definitely be recommending your cottages to our friends and hope to stay with you again in the future.
Quiet, great for kids, nice accommodation ,good family pub walking distance away, use of china fleet club pool, kids loved it.Hope we can return in the near future.
We count ourselves most fortunate to have found this gem of a cottage; our children loved the playground & trampoline, whilst we adults enjoyed the views!
Three generations of our family plus dog stayed in Owl Barn for 5 days in October. Fantastically well equipped including a selection of board games which kept the grandsons enthusiastically happy. The cottage had everything one could need and Beth the owner was available to answer any questions and make us all very welcome. Lovely to be able to wander around the grounds and feel safe letting the boys and dog wander off for their adventures!
What a fantastic spot for a weekend. Wished we could’ve stayed longer. Amazing generosity from owners too. Thankyou. Will definitely be looking to book again.
Myself and my partner stayed here for three nights and all in all it was excellent. The Coach House was furnished to a high standard and the setting was lovely, each morning upon awakening you’re met with a beautiful view and the peace and quiet of the Cornish countryside. What more could you want? Beth recommended The Springer Spaniel pub in Treburley for some fine dining and that made our stay complete. 5 stars all round!
Great location Great accommodation Great hosts Nothing seems to be too much trouble. We have stayed at Kernock 4 times I don’t think that anything more needs to be added.
We rented all five cottages as guests of my daughter’s wedding. All of us were astounded at the high quality of the furnishings, the cleanliness and the very unexpected welcome pack! after an amazing wedding nearby we were so pleased to be able to come ‘home’ to warm and comfy beds and only the bleeting of lambs to wake us up next morning!
Excellent disability facilities,well equipped throughout all the living rooms kitchen etc. Wonderful quiet location situated in lovely grounds. The complimentary morning breakfast basket was a nice touch.
Heather Barn is beautifully done out and provides excellent access for guests with limited mobility. The location is also beautiful and close to many tourist attractions including accessible walking and cycle tracks. Very much enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.
We stayed on the orchard cottage as part of a group of 3 families. The accommodation was first class, we found it to have everything we needed, especially in the kitchen where you often find you are short of a few things in rental properties. The booking progress and customer service provided was brilliant. The Pinterest site was particularly helpful in planning our days out.
I would highly recommend this to anyone else.
A great cottage, beautifully located and perfectly managed. Every detail has been thought of, for both adults and kids. We had a great 4 night break with our friends, and Beth and Hugh were fantastic. There were 6 adults and 5 kids and we had ample room. Access to the local leisure centre was also a bonus for the winter weather. We would highly recommend it and are sure we will be back again.
Found it! Thank You Beth and Hugh, you have made somewhere very special… May we come back please?
What a wonderful place to stay – we cannot recommend it enough. Everything was above our expectations. The cottage was well equipped with so many special touches . . . the bath robes, all necessary kitchen products and especially the magnifying mirrors – an essential for us females! We felt immediately welcome and at home – as did our dog! The views at Tree Barn Cottage are amazing with beautiful sunsets and so many wonderful walks nearby.
What a fabulous cottage and in the most amazing setting. The cottage was spotless and fitted out to a very high standard and I couldn’t fault the cottage – simply loved it. I was also impressed that the cottage is also very eco friendly using all low energy lights, re-cycle bins and bio mass heating. Amazing attention to detail. Our welcome pack was a very nice touch, as was the welcome pack for Sofie, our dog, who by the way loved her holiday! Top marks Kernock Cottages. If you’re looking for a quality cottage, in great countryside, handy for touring around Cornwall or just staying local and chilling out, this is the place for you. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.
From the moment we pulled down the drive and were greeted by the warm welcome with sausages,bacon and eggs by Beth it felt like home. There was also a welcome pack for our dog Tilly. We stayed in Tree Barn for two weeks and it was lovely. Really cannot rate these cottages high enough, by far the best we’ve ever stayed in. Martin & Nikki (stayed September 2014)
We had a very friendly and warm welcome staying at Tree Barn Cottage with our 3 big dogs. We had a trailer and lots of sailing kit with us and there was plenty space, help and advise at hand with the owners living on site. We’d recommend it to any family with or without dogs and would certainly come again if we are near Plymouth. It’s very peaceful and quiet!
The owners are incredibly warm and welcoming and provide so much information to help plan a trip. The cottage itself is immaculate, comfortable and has everything you need and more with fluffy dressing gowns the cherry on top.
We have been coming to Kernock cottages for ages now as we as a family really love it there, the owners couldn’t be more helpful, we have no stayed in every cottage they have and they are all great!! Couldn’t recommend enough.
The cottage had everything we needed and more, we had a fantastic week. Beth was really helpful and friendly. We loved our stay, thank you!
We stayed in Heather Barn. The accommodation was really disabled friendly with a wet room, accessible wardrobes, everything on one level and loads of space. Heather Barn had everything you need and more, and there are some really nice touches. The outside space was amazing, from our own garden space which was populated by rabbits at night, through to the grounds which are full of wonderful rolling hills, lots of different trees and also a beautiful tree lined avenue when you drive in. Beth was very attentive and she really goes the extra mile, including returning the watch I left behind. I would thoroughly recommend Kernock Cottages. It is also well located for touring around. We had lovely days out at Looe, Burgh Island and Bude and there are lots of other places nearby.
We stayed in Heather Barn for our summer holiday and had a fabulous time. We loved the garden best of all because it is huge and private but the cottage itself is also lovely, very clean, modern and finished to a very high standard. We had fantastic weather and some great days out as Cornwall is beautiful and there are lots of things to do and places to visit. Our best day was a family canoe trip courtesy of the Tamar Trails Centre which was really good fun. We also enjoyed the outdoor water park at Paignton and body boarding at the beautiful beaches of Holywell Bay near Newquay and Widemouth Bay at Bude.
