Guests say

Boquio Farmhouse is highly praised for its luxurious furnishings, cleanliness, and range of amenities including a hot tub and games room. Guests enjoyed the peaceful rural setting, comfortable beds, and the property's proximity to local attractions. The owner's responsiveness and helpfulness added to the positive experience, although there was a minor concern about nearby construction and hot water safety.

Guests consistently noted the property as very clean, contributing to a comfortable and welcoming stay.

The farmhouse's peaceful, rural location central to towns and coasts was appreciated, though one mention of nearby construction slightly impacted the experience.

Reviewers were very satisfied with the comfort provided by the property, highlighting the comfortable beds and spaciousness for large groups.

The farmhouse's facilities, including a hot tub, games room, and large garden, were well-received. However, a single mention of overly hot water and missing oven gloves suggests room for improvement in maintenance.

The welcome pack and attention to guest needs, such as returning a lost toy, were noted as thoughtful gestures. While gifts were mentioned, they may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

    Also the hot water temperature at the property was extremely high, from a safety point of view if you’ve got young children they could quite easily scold themselves. I don’t know if we weren’t looking in the right place but we couldn’t find any oven gloves. Apart from these few issues we had a great week.

    The house was superbly appointed and although there were 9 of us there was plenty of space. The hot tub was amazing as was the surrounding countryside including lots of Deer which would appear each evening. Chris was really helpful - especially when we left a child’s nighttime cuddle toy behind. He found it and popped it straight in the post. Drama avoided!

    A fantastic size for us all (3 adults, 4 teenagers and 2 babies), including activities to keep the older ones busy with the hot tub, pool and darts as well as rounders in the large garden to the rear. We had such a great time over the last week down in Cornwall and this was the prefect base to explore from. Chris was also hugely helpful with anything we needed during our stay, thank you
