The dishwasher door had a faulty connection and olly worked if you jammed one the handle of a chair under the handle and anchored the leg of the chair by a table leg. When one things goes wrong other little things niggle. For instance there were 2 clocks, neither worked presumably batteries needed, no instruction leaflets for oven etc. We never did find a use for a second remote control. 5 eggcups for 6 guests. I could go on but our impression was that this could be 5 star but needs much tlc. The owner told us that the enterprise was up for sale and this is probably the explanation.

Comfortable and clean house. Well equipped kitchen. Another chair needed in the lounge area. Outside space needed attention weeding and cleaning. Spa room closed and barbecue unusable. Lovely walk down to Goran Haven, disappointing that the shop had closed but beach cafe was great. Next door campsite bar and takeaway really good. Leaking bath was fixed quickly and efficiently.

Stella

Amazing location with lots of walks from the cottage.

Stephen

Excellent accommodation very clean and spacious, beds were comfortable,excellent showers, for a converted barn it had been very well done. If you venture down into gorran haven i can recommend the fish and chips.

Robert

Access was poor.

A beautiful cottage, lots of space and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Well equipped kitchen, lovely bathrooms and bedrooms, nice areas to sit outside. The views are spectacular when you venture out. Gorran Haven is within short walking distance but very steep walk back. It is a pretty village small beach, great fish and chips, including gluten free. Just wish we had brought our dog, she would have loved it too, great walking. Definitely recommend.

Another lovely stay at this property Highley recommended, everything we need for a great holiday, Thanks Again! !

Very lovely property exceeded our expectations.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay . The location was perfect with a short walk down to Gorran Haven. Having the campsite in close proximity allowed for decent food and drinks without going too far. The addition of dog blankets for the sofas and having access to laundry facilities again was a thoughtful touch. Our only tiny thought was as gates are open to car parks and garden it isnt enclosed at all times to let your four legged friends out without supervision. However this did not detract from our stay and we loved every minute . Well apart from the competitive games of monopoly We would definitely recommend it to family and friends and perhaps come again with them as the cottages together would be great for family reunions or gatherings with like minded friends . Thank you

Carole

Squirrels Dray is a lovely home from home cottage among a small group of cottages set around a lovely courtyard. The surroundings are quiet and out of the way, but only a short drive to Gorran Haven. The cottage has many extra features, such as BBQ's in the garden, lovely showers, comfortable beds and wellappointed kitchen. I would thoroughly recommend this property. If I have one tiny suggestion to make, it would be that the fridge is small for a 6 berth property. However, there is a massive freezer. Sandra, the owner, was very helpful and pleasant.

Lorraine

We absolutely loved our stay! ! Sandra couldnt do enough for us, she was lovely. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. The Spa was brilliant. Beds very comfortable.
