Please feel free to add your feedback using the form opposite.

Have just had the most amazing holiday and really can’t wait to come back! Stayed in Bailiffs with 6 dogs and we all felt so at home. The garden is huge! And the dogs spent almost every minute of the day exploring it! The cottage has everything and more that you could ask for! Even camping chairs and plastic tubs to use for our picnic! The beaches are beautiful and the coastal walks are well worth doing. The views are amazing. There are still so many places we want to visit and will definitely return!

Lovely stay at the Keepers cottage, the welcome basket was a lovely touch. And so many things within a half hour drive to do with your dogs.They also provided us with a guide book that we found really helpful and the honesty in this was brilliant. Theres a lovely pub called the Bowgie Inn up by Polly Joke Beach that is dog friendly and the food there is lovely. We will definitely be back again next year!!

Enjoyable long weekend with friends and four dogs (2 ridgebacks!)perfect for us as a base for beach walking and coastal paths. Great find the Quarryman Inn, Edmonton, just outside Wadebridge. Went 3 times, great food and service & dog friendly. Thanks to Caroline and John. Scott & Louise Burgess, Tali & Finn, nick & Kate, Ruben & Marnie. Bailiffs
