Perfect family stay!!
We stayed for a few nights in early June. The cottage was outstanding! It was in a perfect location (once you get used to the back roads). It was clean, full of everything you need for a family stay. We used the bbq and the kitchen it was perfect. Our little one particularly loved going to feed the donkeys and goats and he was happy on his bike around the cottage.
It was quite difficult to locate the cottage at first, maybe a ‘what three words’ location might be good for future :).
Thank you for having us, we enjoyed every minute and would certainly return.

Great Cottage - Central for North and South Coasts
Really great stay - a very quiet area - no traffic noise, but within 30mins of the north and south Cornwall coasts. Also about an hour from Lands End. Try star-gazing outside on a clear night!
The property itself was clean and comfortable. The kitchen is kitted out fine for cooking meals. In summer you can sit outside with a south-facing view and have a BBQ. In cooler days you have central heating and a wood-burning stove to keep you warm.
Comfortable beds. Bath/shower rooms all fine, slightly on the small side, but no real problem for us - it is a cottage after all!
Overall, well recommended!

Quiet Countryside Oasis
This property is an absolute gem with an amazing family of hosts. We were so warmly received, and the property itself is set on a magnificent farm in the middle of rustic utopian Cornwall. The cottage is clean and simple and comfortable with everything you need for a quiet retreat. The location was perfect for day trips to some of the regions most beautiful sites. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful stay at Welsummer
Thank you to Charmion for the lovely welcome. Really appreciated the milk, homemade scones, jam and cream which were very well received. Barn stay was immaculate and had all the amenities that we needed for our stay. Very enjoyable holiday, ideal location to explore Cornwall.

Fantastic Stay, Fantastic Cottage
We have just had the most fantastic two weeks at the cottage. Such a good location for exploring a bit further afield as nothing is much more than 30 mins (except the far west of Cornwall). We have 3 young children, the cottage catered for them really well. The donkeys and goats on site were enjoyed. It’s so peaceful and quiet and really comfortable. The WiFi isn’t brilliant and we had no signal but apart from when we were trying to get Google maps up we enjoyed being quite disconnected for our holiday. The roads approaching the cottage aren’t for the nervous but you get used to them quite quickly and it didn’t phase us at all. Overall a brilliant holiday and our children were so upset we had to leave! Thank you!!!

Fabulous place 🙂
What an absolutely fabulous place. Welsummer cottage was beautiful, so clean, well equipped, homely , & comfortable- everything we could have wished for!
Bosneives Mill is in a lovely location , but not far from anywhere.
Being able to feed the donkeys & goats was a lovely thing to do and Donk & Ponk are adorable.
Charmion ( the owner) was very friendly & welcoming ,
We cant wait to visit again 🙂
