Notes: Big favourites are Teasle and Tiggy our Springer Spaniel and Norfolk Terrier who both love visitors and especially children. Boogy boards for Polzeath, Constantine and Tregardock beaches can be borrowed and bicycles can be hired in Wadebridge for the Camel Trail which passes close by at Hellandbridge. We can advise on walks, historic houses, golf (we both play St Enodoc), EdenProject, Helligan and other great gardens, eating out and art & pottery galleries. The Gardenhouse garden with its camellias, magnolias and azaleas is at its best from Jan to Jun and is a private sun trap. The accommodation and bathrooms are all upstairs and can be accessed using either the outside starred entrance or the internal wide flight of stairs - hence suitable for elderly but not ideal for wheelchairs. Please bring beach towels. Clothes can be tumble dried in the farmhouse if necessary. Broadband internet access and Sky TV by arrangement with the owners in the main farmhouse.

Review Submitted: August 14, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2007
My wife and I went to stay with Gage and liz and Teasle the springer and Tiggy the terrier.We are dog lovers and will not stay away in the U.K if our little springer spaniel "Shelley " is not with us.Gage and Liz made our stay very relaxing and comfortable ,Gage was a superb host and made our choices on our break very easy with his local knowledge of restaurants and local pubs ,even making bookings for you if you required!Liz was a wonderful cook and host and together with the little dogs ,made our stay very pleasant indeed.Our little dog is now blind and will need a pleasant and safe place to stay when we visit our Cornish family again and I can honestly say we will go back to Menkee again as it is a superb place to stay .Menkee is a clean and very relaxing place to stay in Northern Cornwall and is good value for the standard of accomodation.
