Set deep on Bodmin moor, the cottage was excellent. Just the right size for 4.
Clean, tidy and tastefully and thoughtfully kitted out. Great place to relax and unwind.
Well situated for most attractions, which are within 1hr on all directions.
A must stay.

I would thoroughly recommend Trenay Barns Cottage.
I would thoroughly recommend Trenay Barns Cottage. It is off the beaten track, hence only an 8 for amenities but to be honest, if you book here, you should not expect to be popping to the shop every few minutes.
It is well located to get to North or South Coasts and further into Cornwall if you want.
It was scrupulously clean on arrival and the owner was very friendly and helpful with advice about best beaches and other attractions.
The garden is very pretty and the bird feeders were always full and so the garden birds were plentiful. A few pheasants first thing in the morning too but our little dog soon saw them off.
It is very safe for your dog and the owners just require you to keep your dog out of the bedrooms which is perfectly understandable.
Absolutely zero mobile phone signal but excellent WiFi.
Overall, very highly recommended!

A really lovely cottage/barn conversion in a totally peaceful location in a little valley - just the owners and a farm next door, otherwise very quiet. The cottage is perfectly located for exploring central Cornwall (or further afield if you feel like it). Mid way between north and south coasts with plenty of places to explore within 30 minutes drive.
Zoe and Mark are really excellent hosts making sure we had everything we needed, giving advice on places to go and keeping us supplied with fresh laid eggs and salad crops.
The garden is completely secure so if you do take your dog, as we did, they are perfectly safe. having said that, in the four days we were there I think that apart from the dust cart and the oil delivery wagon we heard about 2 cars go past the property.
A really great place for a relaxing break. Nearest pub in St Neot (about 2 miles away) serves good food (suggest you book particularly at week ends).

We booked this for us and our Labrador puppy. We chose this cottage from the pictures on web but on arrival it surpassed them. It is beautiful and in a wonderful quiet location and hidden away down small lanes . The garden is a haven of tranquility and dog friendly off a lead so long as it is not a wall jumper!! . We would recommend this to others unreservedly . The location is very near to golitha falls, lanhydrock house , cardinham woods and several reservoirs that provide great pooch walks (most of which they are allowed to swim at) . We returned home tired but happy everyday . The hosts Mark and Zoe are completely helpfull and allow you to get the most from your visit . I hope you enjoy this little gem as much as we did.

We enjoyed a pleasant stay at Trenay Barns Cottage.
We enjoyed a pleasant stay at Trenay Barns Cottage. Everything was spotless when we arrived. The fresh eggs and muffins were a nice touch. Mark and Zoe were very friendly and asked our toddler if he would like to feed their chickens, which he loved. He also loved the garden and liked watching the array of animals and birds which visited the feeders. The garden was beautiful and well kept. The cottage is well situated to visit the North and south coasts. Attractions such as The Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan not far away. The cottage was a bit chilly in the evenings but the wood burner and electric heaters were very effective at warming it up quickly. Plenty of kindling , coal etc provided. The house was well stocked with everything you might need. We would definitely stay again. Thank you, Mark and Zoe.

Had a fabulous time here over Easter. Aided by great weather but rain or shine you would not be disappointed by this venue. Wonderful hosts making sure we were well settled in and with fresh eggs and milk. Lots of info re things to do and see but with plenty of privacy and your own space. Delightful to sit at the sun trap decking by the babbling brook in the garden listening to the birds singing in this private peaceful space.
