"Stayed in Granary View Cottage with our 3 small kids and it was utterly perfect. Lots of thoughtful child proofing features which are discreet but very helpful. Hosts were wonderful, location perfect. Lots of little details that make it feel very special. Booked again before we even left - can't recommend enough." - Eman (June 2021)
"Exceptional! The cottage has fantastic, high quiet views over the countryside looking towards the lovely Anglo Saxon village of Bradworthy ...The layout of the cottage really makes the place feel enormous and light. You will regret it if you don't come here for a short or long break." - Alan (June 2021)

"We had a lovely week in Granary View Cottage... all rooms were very clean. It was very easy to find activities to entertain a 6 year old everyday. I would have loved to spend more time in the cottage garden but there was so much to do! Thank you for a lovely week, we'll definitely be back again!" - Sarah (July 2021)

"Had a brilliant week staying in Millview Cottage. All rooms were spotlessly clean, great facilities! Really lovely and private outdoor space with beautiful views. This was the perfect base for exploring Devon and Cornwall, including the Eden Project and Torquay. A very warm welcome and highly accommodating when circumstances meant we had to change our arrival day, nothing was too much trouble! Will definitely stay here again!" - Daniel (July 2021)
"Great hosts, Tim and his family who own the cottages are very welcoming and can’t do enough for you. My kids loved stroking their ponies and collecting eggs straight from the hens." - Nichola (July 2021)
"What a wonderful holiday! Thank you to Tim and family for making us so welcome. Fresh scones with jam and cream waiting for our arrival after such a long journey was really appreciated. The cottage had everything our little family would need for our stay and we look forward to returning soon again!" - Jo (August 2021)
"What an amazing week we had at West Instaple Holiday cottages stopping in Millview which was spotlessly clean. The fresh scones, jam and cream were amazing and the dog treats were gratefully received by our Springer Spaniel. Tim, Laura and Amy are fantastic hosts and go the extra mile to make sure you have an enjoyable holiday with nothing being too much trouble. We loved Tamar lakes where we did paddle boarding, sandymouth beach was great fun and we loved biking part of the Tarka trail." - Tim (August 2021)
"An excellent cottage with great facilities and very welcoming and helpful owners. The welcome pack on arrival was excellent and just what was needed after a long journey." - Stephanie (August 2021)
"Honestly, the best break we've had in ages! Great location, beautiful views and amazing owners! After a 5.30 start, the fresh scones, clotted cream and local jam on arrival were much appreciated. There was also fresh eggs from their chickens and fresh local milk in the fridge. Amy and her family were really accomodating and welcoming. From the minute we arrived. The travel cot and highchair were ready for us and our Morrisons order was all put away in the kitchen. (Even the beers were in the fridge!). The cottages were spotless and had everything we could of possibly needed to make our stay perfect. They went above and beyond to make our stay the best, offering amazing suggestions for picturesque picnics to allowing our son to visit the ponies numerous times. Can't wait to go back." - Amy & Tim (July 2021)
"We spent a week in Millview Cottage with our teenage son and dog. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed, the rooms were very spacious and the outlook gorgeous. Both the cottage and garden are dog friendly and the doggy shower was an added bonus after a day at the beach. Whilst the cottage is located in a peaceful, secluded area it is an ideal base to explore Devon with so many options to suit everyone. A week wasn't long enough! Laura, Tim and family go above and beyond to make your stay memorable and easy. I can't recommend West Instaple highly enough." - Helen (August 2021)
"We stayed in Millview Cottage. This is a two dog friendly cottage that is perfectly placed to discover Devon and Cornwall. The cottage is immaculate with everything you need and quality furnishings. The outside space is dog friendly and is also furnished with outdoor seating table parasol and BBQ. With beautiful countryside views. The owners Tim & Laura have thought of everything ... there is even a doggy wash with everything you need from shampoo and fluffy towels." - Graham & Angela (September 2021)
"The property was amazing, clean, tidy and beautiful. The views were to die for. Owners were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back in the future. I would recommend to anyone and certainly will do." - Michael (September 2021)
"Millview cottage is a fantastic place to say with your family, and especially if you have a dog. On arrival waiting for us were homemade scrumptious scones and handpicked berry jam. The location is amazing with a spectacular view and beautiful countryside and dog-friendly beaches. Dogs get their own VIP washroom. The beds are extremely comfortable you will fall asleep within a minute." - Poppy Warr age 10. (August 2021)
"Fabulous cottages, we have just returned home from a lovely week staying in Millview Cottage. Absolutely everything and more that you need, spotlessly clean throughout. Lovely outside space with patio, table, chairs and bbq for own use overlooking beautiful views and of course Tilly and Teddy the miniature ponies! Thank you Laura, Tim & Amy for everything and making us so welcome we will be coming back soon!" - Neil, Deb & Philippa (September 2021)
"We have just returned from a wonderful week at Granary View where so many thoughtful touches (welcome pack in advance; delicious scones on arrival, and kids books and outdoor games for example) made it a real home from home! The place was beautifully clean, so quiet and peaceful and a fantastic base for so many Devon and Cornwall adventures. I would recommend to anybody. Thanks so much to Tim, Amy and family for making our holiday so special!" - Karen (September 2023)
"Can’t recommend Mill View cottage highly enough for a relaxing break in a perfect location. The property is immaculate and super hospitable owners make the whole experience delightful. In a beautiful remote spot but only short drive from fantastic coastline and attractions, just perfect for a family break… and even the dog gets pampered!!" - Leah (April 2023)
"We have just got home from a three night stay in Millview Cottage and it was amazing! We have had a lovely stay in a beautiful cottage which is owned by the friendliest people. From the moment we arrived it felt like home, with a welcome cream tea waiting for us and some yummy goodies for the two dogs that came with us too. It is a great base to stay in so you can go and explore the local area and near by Bude. There is so much to do we are planning to come back again for another visit! Would definitely recommend staying at Millview Cottage." - Kirsten (October 2022)
