Guests found the beds comfortable and the property well laid out for privacy and space. However, issues with head height and the compactness of some areas were noted by taller guests.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owners. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
About this property
The Granary is a rustic, spacious character cottage set in a peaceful countryside setting within a small cluster of beautifully converted mill buildings. This self-catering cottage is the perfect place to come back to after a busy day par taking in the vast amount of activities nearby. The Granary has its own private garden and patio area plus ample parking spaces even room for a boat trailer. The cottage sleeps five guests in two very nice bedrooms, perfect for a family. The additional outside shed is great for storing all of your beach paraphernalia and a water tap for washing off sandy toes, wetsuits and the dog. On returning to this tranquil cottage you will find the homely and well-furnished open plan kitchen/ sitting room with French doors leading to the garden, handy for those alfresco family dinners and drinks on the warmer days. The main bedroom has comfy double bed whilst the second bedroom has the perfect place for the children to share and dream of fun things in the three single beds. Nestled in between Daymer Bay and Rock you have the choice of beaches and activities to choose from. Be it a relaxed, fun beach day with the children at Daymer’s mellow sand dunes to surf school or body boarding over at Polzeath. The Atlantic coast path runs links the beaches, a nice stroll with the dog would be a great activity to admire the breath taking sea views before returning to your peaceful haven.
The seaside village of Polzeath boasts a sandy beach, which is bordered by rock pools and is acclaimed to be one of the best surfing beaches in the country. Polzeath itself has a number of small shops, cafes and restaurants, and the South West Coast Path, a 630-mile route, runs through the village.

The downstairs is spacious enough, and the 3 kids actually loved being in one room together. The patio was big enough to enjoy some meals out together, and the rural setting is idyllic. There was a super helpful guide to local beaches in the property - suggestion would be to add something on local dog walks, as we didn't see any footpaths despite the lovely countryside setting.

... shame about the inconsiderate neighbours. The people in Hayloft played football with their children against the bedroom wall upstairs at 6.45am for 3 mornings and the nightmare family opposite behind the tall lelandii hedge screamed and shouted and played loud music until past midnight so we didn't sleep well or relax much. Maybe it's quieter during term time? The bathroom needs urgent attention, under the paint the wood around the bath and pipe boxing is rotten and stained. We were picking small fungi off the skirting board by the toilet. Needs a decent king size double bed, and one of the single mattresses needs replacing. Oven is complicated to operate and we only found the manual by accident, some one had hidden it behind a saucepan! The site manager needs to paint the yellow car park spaces again so 4 cars can get onto the concrete in wet weather please.

Defects reported previously not fixed, could not get cooler or hob to work, even after looking at instructions. Expensive as had to eat out all the time. Luckily we were only there for one week.
