We have just returned from our second visit and cant recommend it enough. The cottages are well appointed, spacious and a lovely place to relax. There is plenty of interaction with the animals on the farm led by Richard, tennis courts and a pool table to keep the adults amused and if you just want to sit out on the balcony and look out over the lovely scenery with a glass of wine this the ideal place for you. Its a great location to use as a base with areas like Port Isaac, Bude and summerleaze beach or Padstow all just a short car ride away. This is a great place for couples or families

Not only the accomodation, but the effort in the food made for us, made our stay not only comfortable, but, an absolute pleasure. Top marks guys. Thank you so so much for letting us rent your cottage. We had an absolute blast xx

Our stay was a very last minute booking and we can't thank Richard and family at Fentrigan Manor enough for hosting us. We stayed in Fentrigan Manor Cottage with our 20 month old son. The cottage was very well equipped for our stay, and included a high chair, cot and child gate to cater for our toddler. The cottage itself was clean and cosy and felt like our home away from home for the two weeks and the cosy part was important given we travelled from Australia to an English winter!
Richard is a gracious host and very accommodating - nothing was ever a hassle. Our son absolutely loved following

My family (2 adults, 3kids) stayed in Millers Cottage and had a great week. Farmer Richard was a wonderful host and was fantastic with the kids who loved him (and Oscar the dog)! They especially loved the quad bike trailer rides and pony rides, but everything about the farm is fantastic for kids. This includes feeding the animals every morning, the swings and sandpit, play barn with pool table and ping pong, collecting the chickens eggs, and petting the rabbits, tractor trips and guinea pigs. The location of the farm is great for North Cornwall towns like Tintagel, Bude and Boscastle and loads

My family and I (daughter, husband and grand parents) have been coming here for five years and have just booked for next year. It's a peaceful, relaxing and safe environment where kids spend most waking minutes on the farm outside playing together, feeding animals or joining in with one of Richards extra activities like pony rides, quad bike ride, tractor ride to the fishing lake etc. Often it's hard to leave the farm as the kids love it so much, but when you do venture away there are spectacular beaches, cliff walks and tonnes of local tourist attractions to keep you busy. There are 7 or 8 cottages
