“Excellent property, spacious, well equipped and clean .”

Comfy beds, play equipment for kids, great shower and nicely furnished - everything you need. Perfect rural location for relaxing yet not far from Cornwall’s amazing coastline.

Roger September 2023

“This was our first stay here; David and Jill were very charming and friendly.”

The Barn was splendid and, as others have commented previously, the beds were extremely comfortable-- quite rare in our experience of holiday lettings. Really very desirable and we would thoroughly recommend.

Anthony August 2023

“Lovely well converted barn, spiral staircase little bit awkward for older people,2 nicely appointed bedrooms very well equiped to good standard, lounge/diner upstairs lovely views all round very well equiped , all in all a very nice holiday let .”

- Anthony, August 2023

I am glad that you enjoyed your stay and sorry that you found the spiral staircase awkward - this is why we have photos of it on the property description as it is not easy for everyone. It was great to meet you, and, might I suggest that, if you want to come back to this area you look at our lodges which are all on one level and have all of the facilities of Sunnywell.

Maxine August 2023

“The property is exceptional, it is the most well equipped cottage that we have stayed in, with every item spotlessly clean and appears to be brand new.”

The cottage is brilliant for two couples as both bedrooms and bathrooms are super comfy with plenty of space - no arguing over who gets the best bedroom! There are also tables and chairs outside for eating / relaxing and numerous games, plenty of fun. We had a great welcome from Jill with a cream tea, jam first! Even before we arrived she was so helpful with ideas for local restaurants for a special birthday. I can't praise the owners or this property enough, brilliant and thank you.

- Maxine, August 2023

Great to meet you & so glad that you enjoyed your big birthday break and thank you for your lovely feedback. We do appreciate visitors taking the time to write reviews after they get back home. Take Care Property Owner

Mary May 2023

“We had a fantastic time at Sunnywell a beautiful upside down converted barn the views from each of the windows in the open plan living upstairs was truly stunning.”

We were made very welcome by Host Jill who checked we were happy with everything and said any problems just contact her. The great area to stay in as you could explore all the different coasts very easily being that Bodmin is so central in Cornwall. We loved it so much we will go back again

- Mary, May 2023
John September 2022

“Fantastic property and first class Hosts.”

Cottage is exactly as advertised, cosy and full of character. Our hosts ensured we had everything we needed and checked in to ensure everything was working fine. Cottage in idea location for exploring the whole of Cornwall. Will definitely book again when coming to the area. Thanks. The UK/USA party

- John, September 2022
Clive July 2022

Linda May 2022

“There were a couple of small things that would have made our stay better, hand towel in the kitchen, waste bins in the bedrooms as well as in the bathroom.”

Our friends did find a dirty sock under one of the cupboards in the bedroom. Also we have never been asked to strip the beds and put the towels in a laundry bag at other holiday stays, so were surprised by this request. We stayed with friends and we were both confused by the owners directions, so perhaps a small map might help.

- Linda, May 2022

Thank you for your review. We welcome all feedback as we are constantly striving to give our visitors the best possible stay that they can have, and, over the years, people have mentioned lots of things that we would never have thought of. It is obviously upsetting when a group have not enjoyed their stay as much as they could have. We would like to address some of your points: We are utterly devastated that you found a sock under the bedside table and apologise for this. When we were able to re-open in July 2020, we have to completely change our cleaning regime, we took lots of advice and one of the things that we were advised to do was to ask our guests to put their used, towels, bath mats and bedding into a laundry bag. We are sorry that you did not like being asked and will look at the wording on the label on the box of chocolates that we put with the laundry bags requesting this. With regard to the directions, we will look at producing a map, thank you for the idea. We have also just started sending our guests the link to the what3words app for the property that they are staying in. We are sorry that you didn’t tell us while you were here about the things that you felt were missing from the property, we could so easily have dropped down extra bins and told you where the kitchen towels were. Thank you for the points that you have raised. Take care. Property Owner
Oliver April 2022

“We loved our time at Sunnywell.”

This was a gem of a place and the whole family loved it. The place is beautiful and so well equipped and the hosts do many thoughtful touches to add to the welcoming feeling. We also loved the area, as it's perfect base for exploring. We'd love to come back sometime.

Sarah April 2022

“A great cottage which was cosy and warm, with comfortable beds and high quality bedding.”

Very well equipped and having the utility room with washer, tumble drier, freezer and table tennis was an added bonus. The children loved the games (indoor and out) and the good wifi. Powerful showers and a huge bath. The location is excellent with easy access to north and south coasts, and just off the A30 for going further into Cornwall, yet so quiet with gorgeous views. Ample parking too, right outside the front door. The cream tea on arrival was a lovely touch! We hope to return!

- Sarah, April 2022

Thank you for your great feedback. It was lovely to meet you all and we look forward to hopefully welcoming you back in the future. Take Care Property Owner
Sarah March 2022

“We loved this property.”

Jill was very welcoming and informative (thank you for the cream tea on arrival and chocs on departure!). The property is comfortable and warm in a lovely quiet situation but not far from all the amenities of Bodmin. The main road was handy to go north, south, east or west. Couldn't fault the facilities of the property - two bathrooms (always handy!) and, in the utility building, a washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer. Small table tennis table (very tricky!) and Swingball (great fun). Thank you Jill and family for a fantastic stay.

Sajid February 2022

“Lovely cottage with everything provided, a pleasent welcome cream tea on arrival.”

Jill is a perfect host, many thanks to her for making our stay most enjoyable……. despite the weather. Very clean, comfortable and well equiped with all that was needed (towels, toilet roll, handwashes, utensils, pots and pans!!). Great location not far from cornwall attractions especially Eden Project, would recommend!

Claire July 2021

“Had a fantastic week at Sunnywell.”

The cottage had everything you could need and more. Very clean and comfortable, the utility building was especially useful for boards and wetsuits. Also the lovely welcome and departing gifts were very much appreciated. It’s in a great location, very quite surrounded by countryside but close to Bodmin. There’s loads to explore within 30mins drive. Lanhydrock house (5-10mins) and Eden Project (20mins) are both worth visiting. Crantock beach is one of the best we’ve ever been too.

- Claire, July 2021
Allison April 2021

“The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed and it felt like the owners had thought of everything to make our stay easy.”

The owners were lovely and the cream tea on arrival was a lovely touch. Everything was very clean and the layout of the cottage was perfect. The cottage is in a lovely remote location, which means you feel away from it all and relaxed but is only a 10 min drive to the main costal road , so a perfect base to explore from. We would recommend it and we would definitely stay here again.

- Allison, April 2021
Kate October 2020

“Sunnywell was perfect for our holiday.”

Lovely private setting. Everything was clean and facilities were good - the mini table tennis and strong WiFi meant our children were happy with the property too. Can not recommend it enough and hope to return in the future.

- Kate, October 2020
Ray October 2019

“Sunnywell is a perfect location to explore Cornwall.”

A wonderful barn conversion built with a great deal of thought and care. The upstairs living area gives light and great views. Plenty of space in and around the cottage with good safe parking. The utility building was great for a game of table tennis and drying clothes. We will bring bikes next time as we now know they can be stored safely. We got a warm welcome from Jill and a kind send off from her son Richard who apologised for a few wet days with a bottle of wine. We highly recommend a stay and will come back next year. Lovely to meet Jill and Richard and we hope Dave gets well soon.

- Ray, October 2019
Ronnie September 2019

“Fabulous central location for exploring Cornwall and Sunnywell was exceptional in every way, wonderful barn conversion, everything catered for, spotlessly clean, everything high standard.”

To sit at the table and look at the views were unbelievable. We will definitely stay again.

Michelle July 2019

“The cottage we chose was amazing!”

Clean, fresh, beautifully decorated. There was everything you needed to cook at the cottage. All the essentials were there eg washing up liquid, toilet roll etc. There was things to borrow for the beach. The cottage was in a beautiful location, it was quiet and quite remote but easy access to main roads. The owners were so friendly and chatty, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely places to stay and we would highly recommend this holiday, beautiful locations and lots of places to visit if your prepared to travel like we were! Loved the cows in the next field moooing every morning

Emma July 2019

“Spectacular accommodation in a quiet and peaceful location only a few minutes from the centre of Bodmin.”

Stunning views from all aspects from the upstairs lounge area. Extremely clean and comfortable with everything you need provided for. Perfect central Cornwall location for exploring the whole area of Cornwall with less than an hours drive in any direction to visit all the beautiful places. Highly recommend this accommodation for 2 couples or a family.

Lovely welcome from the owner.
