“Sorry we forgot to book the weather at the same time as booking The Lamb Shack so we didnt get to make use of the beautiful garden setting, outdoor furniture or views across the valley.”

Despite the wet weather though we made the most of our time and enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was cosy, well equipped and perfectly situated for our trip. Thank you for the warmest of welcomes and the fresh-from-the-greenhouse extras, as well as a brilliant list of recommendations. We've already recommended The Lamb Shack to friends

Thank you much Property Owner

“From start to finish Vanessa made us feel extremely welcome.”

Nothing was too much trouble. For dog lovers you will fall in love with Phyllis the poodle who just wants you to throw her footballs for her. The peace and tranquility is amazing. To sit out late evening or early morning and only hearing the birds and watching the horses and alpacas free in the large fields is just bliss. We would have no trouble recommending Vanessa's property highly if you want peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle... its about a 2min drive to the village pub for some nice food. Definately worth staying at this lovely getaway. Thank you Vanessa

“The Lamb Shack was ideal for our short stay.”

It was clean, comfortable in beautiful surroundings. The perfect location for touring around Cornwall. Vanessa was very welcoming with fresh produce from the vegetable garden, lots of local information and introducing us to her cute collection of animals. We would definitely recommend the Lamb Shack.

- James, August 2024
Christopher July 2024

“Nice quiet spot apart from the wind turbine.”

Vanessa (Owner) very welcoming and very willing to fix a problem with the bathroom door which, in all honesty should have been fixed before we moved in. Clean towels were offered midway through the stay which was nice. TV reception and WiFi not great but acceptable given the location. Access steps are not safe and difficult to negotiate. Village pub, the White Hart, is excellent with great food. If she's not done so, would recommend the owner actually spends a night in the property so she can see all the little things that need attention.

- Christopher, July 2024

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry you didn’t have the opportunity to say it to my face when l asked you if all was ok. If you felt the steps were dangerous, you could have used the gate in the garden. As for the wind turbine, it’s .75 miles away and I’ve never heard it, nor have any other guests. Property Owner
Joanne July 2024

“What can I say?”

Exactly as expected and more. Vanessa was very welcoming and was the perfect host. The garden furniture was an added bonus and gave me the opportunity to relax in the evenings, just listening to the sound of birds and watching the animals in the field. Phyllis the standard poodle was adorable and I hope I haven't ruined it for future guests by encouraging her to join me and play.

- Joanne, July 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely review. You were the perfect guest and Phyllis and I are ever hopeful you will return soon Property Owner
John July 2024

“We stayed for 4 nights at the Lamb Shack in July and loved it.”

The pod was perfect for us, nothing was too much trouble for our host Vanessa (she even gave us some freshly laid eggs for our breakfast) and we made friends with Phyllis the poodle. We wouldn't hesitate to book here again and would definitely recommend it.

- John, July 2024

Hi John, Thank you so much for your lovely review. You were fantastic guests. Phyllis says ,’hi!’. Property Owner

Diane October 2023

“The Lamb Shack was really cosy, comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean.”

It's very well situated for easy access to St Teath and nearby attractions and facilities. Vanessa, the owner was so welcoming and helpful.

- Diane, October 2023
Michael September 2023

“From start to finish, I thoroughly enjoyed my week in the Lamb Shack.”

It provided all I needed for an enjoyable stay. The only negative I can think of is, there is no wardrobe space. Venessa, my host was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Very helpful and a really nice person. She even brought flowers to welcome my partner, who joined me midway through my stay. Top Lady. Would recommend this property if you want a peaceful break away. It’s a one-off property located next to grazing land complete with horses, goats and would you believe, Llamas

- Michael, September 2023
Andrew September 2023

“We stayed at the Lamb Shack in September, and really enjoyed our stay.”

Vanessa was a great host, and went out of her way to make sure everything was ok, even providing some home grown tomatoes. If you like animals you will enjoy waking up each morning to see horses, goats and llamas grazing the fields next to you. This is an ideal location for exploring this part of Cornwall. The village of St Teath is just a short walk away and the coast just a short drive. We can’t recommend the Lamb Shack too highly.

- Andrew, September 2023
Darren September 2023

“Absolutely 100% returning to this amazing tranquil and pretty place.”

The setting is perfect, Alpacas,Goats,Horses and Sheep, your own garden, what more do you need, an amazing host, she looked after our every need, local pub with huge amounts of food just a 10 minute walk down the road

- Darren, September 2023

“Ready enjoyed our stay at lamb shank, Vanessa was brilliant hosts made us feel at home.”

- Carole, August 2023
Alex August 2023

“We had a fantastic break in North Cornwall using the Lamb Shack as a base for our four night stay.”

We wouldn’t hesitate to use it again. The owner really went out of her way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Highly recommend and will certainly go back again.

- Alex, August 2023
Wendy July 2023

“We were greeted by Vanessa as we arrived and I'm glad we were as I hadnt seen the property sign as we got there.”

Maybe another sign on the opposite side of the drive would be helpful. She showed us to the Lamb Shack. It was just right for two. Cosy, comfortable and everything we needed. Storage for clothes is very tight so would recommend only taking what you need. The steps down to the car wouldnt suit anyone with mobility problems. It was a great base for our Cornish adventures. Vanessa was a great host who couldn't have been any more helpful.

- Wendy, July 2023
Sara June 2023

“We had a lovely time staying here, Vanessa is a wonderful host, she provided us with lots of local places for our bush bike riding, local beaches and places to eat.”

The Lamb Shack is cosy, peaceful and had everything we needed for our weeks stay. The garden area is perfect to sit in and chill out, I loved watching the goats and llamas chilling in thier field, cuties. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you Vanessa, Phyllis the dog and George the cat.

- Sara, June 2023

“Absolutely loved this place.”

Super clean, comfortable, stunning setting, no hesitation whatsoever in returning. This was my first holiday alone. Vanessa couldn't have been more hospitable and Philis her puppy is just adorable. Great place and location, plenty of interesting places to visit close by...Tintagel, Port Isaac and Boscastle just a few miles away. The Lamb Shack is the perfect getaway. Highly recommend.

- Dawn, May 2022

“Just arrived home from a very pleasant stay in 'The Lamb Shack' it was everything i expected and more.”

Was not so lucky on the weather side of things therefore it was even more important that the accomodation was comfortable and it was, so cosy and snug and clean with everything well provided. A total peace haven. It is well equiped wi-fi included. Vanessa, family and freinds made the stay even more enjoyable. Vanessa was very welcoming and a perfect host. I would highly recommend The Lamb Shack to anyone. I will be visiting again in the future for sure. I enjoyed it all even the local old world pub a short walk away in the local village 10 minutes walk away. The locals are so freindly and welcoming The surrounding scenery and animals were delightful with 2 horses, 4 pet sheep and two amazing alpaca,s. Oh yes we had an unexpected arrival a new born lamb who is now my namesake ( smile ) Perfect place to enjoy a peacful vacation and lots of local resteraunts and places of interest. 6 STAR ☆☆☆☆☆

“Such a delightful little cabin, extremely cosy and perfect for solo travellers or a couple.”

Our host was very welcoming and provided lots of useful information. Bed was comfy, shower was good, there was a nice living space and the outside area was well kept. The neighbours were horses and alpacas, with the occasional passing cat and dog - so it was all very peaceful!! Highly recommended if you need a relaxing break away.

Sandra August 2020

“We had a lovely relaxing holiday at the Lamb Shack.”

It is situated in a lovely quiet peaceful area and yet within easy reach of all the attractions of Cornwall. Vanessa the owner provided lots of information prior to arrival about the local area which was really useful. The pod itself had everything we needed, Vanessa was easily contactable during the holiday when required, and nothing was too much trouble. The pod was cosy, clean and very comfortable, we had a wonderful holiday. Highly recommended.

- Simon, July 2020
Amy July 2020

“Fantastic week at the Lamb Shack.”

Vanessa was a welcoming and very friendly host and offered us local knowledge prior to and during our stay. The Property was better than expected and situated in a beautiful secluded spot on the owners farm, so peaceful and relaxing, just what we wanted. Location is perfect for exploring both coasts and many beautiful towns, easy access to main roads which is an advantage!. Wadebridge provided us with many supermarket options and there is a local shop in St Teath, of which was only open restricted hours due to the current COVID situation. The local pub, within 15 mins walk, is definitely worth a mention, welcoming and friendly, good beers available and a great little menu, good wholesome pub grub! We would 100% recommend the property to couples looking for something a bit different and quirky, who like exploring and a comfortable base to return to in the evenings. Thank you Vanessa, you have a lovely property.

“Vanessa made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived.”

The Shack is a quirky place. It was warm, it was cozy. It suited us just fine. The village pub is extremely friendly. The food is good and sensibly priced and it's nice to have somewhere right on the doorstep. Could anything be improved? There were no wardrobes or drawers. These would have been handy but it was no more than a minor inconvenience. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Barry, October 2019
Mushtaq September 2019

“ · We loved the actual pod itself.”

It was a perfect hideaway for a couple and within travel distance of all famous Cornish landmarks. The pod had a very comfy bed, seating area, clean and ample shower room, little kitchenette, although it could have benefited from a hotplate to heat pans. All in all, it was brilliant. · We didn't like the incessant rain and sadly an overhanging tree created much bigger drops to fall on the pods roof, making sleep an elusive dream. Would suggest trimming branches or cutting tree. Obviously the weather is something one cannot account for in uk. A small wardrobe or somewhere to hang clothes would have been beneficial

- Mushtaq, September 2019
Kay June 2019

“We had a great week in the Lamb Shack.”

This was the first time we had stayed in a pod and were a little apprehensive about only having such a small space to live in for the week. We were however very pleasantly surprised at just how spacious the shack was. I didn’t realise how fun it is to have to crawl up and down the bed to get into/out of it. It was well equipped with everyday essentials (plates, glasses etc). The use of a convection oven instead of just a microwave was also useful. The fridge could have done with having a small freezer compartment. The welcome pack was very gratefully received. The wifi was down for the week we were there, but Venessa (the owner) very kindly said that we could use her conservatory and access her wifi if needed. Actually she was very helpful and accommodating with any requests. The shack is situated at the rear of the owner’s property, behind the stables, so it is quite secluded. It’s next to the fields that have horses, sheep and alpaca’s in. Located ideally for exploring North Cornwall. Local pub (White Hart) very friendly and lovely food.

“We booked this holiday in the Lamb Shack as we fancied a different self catering accommodation .”
