We spent a week at this delightful property with our grandchildren,and Alfie the labradoodle, and had a very warm welcome, with delicious cakes and cream tea.
Kate our host had been very helpful with the booking, and had unpacked my supermarket delivery, and even recorded the Grand Prix for Graham as we would have missed it en route.This all makes the journey less stressful, and easier to relax.
The children loved the bunk beds,and the pretty bedding.The main bedroom bed was very comfortable with lovely luxurious bedding. We all loved the position, peace and quiet and the views from every window.The window seat in the main bedroom was a big hit, and we would often sit quietly in the window with a good book. There was a fabulous selection of books on offer for adults and children.There were also a good selection of games, and our knowledge of Cornwall was improved greatly by playing Cornwall monopoly.
The property was very clean and well maintained, with everything you could possibly require.
The use of the boats was great fun, and my grand daughter tried a go at kayaking. We all went on a boat trip down river, although hindered by strong winds on other days to go out again.
There are beautiful beaches around the area, although very few which allow dogs, which meant we were restricted to how long we could stay out, because we did not like to leave the dog for too long.
We found numerous good pubs and restaurants in the area,although we did feel they were overpriced(and we are used to London prices!)
However, this did not hinder our holiday.
We thought Helford on the river was gorgeous and went there two or three times.
In all we all had a wonderful holiday, the children loved the freedom to be able to go out on the quay and go crabbing. Our 6 year old grandson learnt to tell the time, by the tides, which is something he will never forget.
We will definitely go back, as long as it is not too booked up to accommodate us!

Owner's Response: We were, as always, pleased and touched to receive such a lovely review. We do not solicit online reviews because, after our guests have written in the Visitor's Book, thanked us in person and frequently written cards, letters and notes to us personally, as this family had already done, we think they may have done enough. However, as so often happens, this family have gone the extra mile and publicly written about BQ and their happy holiday. We were especially delighted when the little boy playfully tried to hide in a cupboard to avoid being taken home!
