Inny Brook Burrow

This was my second stay at Inny Brook Burrow.

It’s a lovely cottage and very well looked after. My only gripe would be the shower. The temperature was quite difficult to get right and I couldn’t work out how to operate the overhead shower at all so had to relay in the hand held hose. Minor issue as everything else was great. Hope to be back. Would highly recommend.

A lovely, cosy, well equipped cottage in a beautiful part of the world.

The inclement weather during our week meant we spent more time in the cottage than planned but we found everything we needed there. The complimentary eco welcome pack was very useful. Seeing a fast flowing river (a tributary of the Tamar) from the "Eden Room" and kitchen was magical, as are nearby Tintagel and Boscastle. The owners were very quick to resolve a minor maintenance issue that arose during our stay. A rating of 9 out of 10 overall, with the bedroom being a bit on the small side for us our only concern.

What a lovely cottage!

We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay. Everything as described. Very comfortable bed and sofas. A perfect place for my partner to recover post surgery. Our Fur Babies and ourselves enjoyed days out to Port Isaac, Tintagel, Padstow and other places. Nearby Farm shop was great too. Thank you

A lovely stay.

Everything we needed for a comfortable holiday including a terrific eco-welcome pack for humans and dogs! A really fantastic location for exploring all the beauty North Cornwall has to offer - Bude, Boscastle, Padstow, Tintagel and Camelford all within a short distance in the car. Lovely walks from the door to Davidstow Airfield, Davidstow Wood and Crowdy Reservoir as well. The accommodation was spotless, well equipped and extremely cosy. Highly recommended - thank you to Claire and Julian.

Really well thought out layout and equipment/furnishings.

Seemed very well maintained. Garden was great and the river was lovely. Found my way around working things fairly well although the water instructions had me stumped for a while. Worked it out though and plenty of hot water, fast. Loved the stay and would stay again.

Lovely cosy property in beautiful location .

Small but perfectly formed with lots of nice touches and a thoughtful welcome pack . Nice walks direct from the cottage and plenty to do within a short drive . Tintagel brewery visit a particular highlight ! Many thanks

We were very pleased with the overall quality of the accommodation and especially with all the thoughtful and unexpected 'extras'.

For example the two large umbrellas provided were a godsend as it was raining hard when we arrived. A couple of small things could be improved, there was a significant tear in the flooring underneath the dining table and the outdoor furniture and foliage would need some TLC to enable us to give it a 'perfect' rating.

Hairdryer would have be nice and for us forgetful people a charging plug.

We had a great time and the dog treats we appreciated. Thank you.

Lovely accommodation including well maintained gardens.

Loved the decor, adding that extra touch. A welcome pack, not only for us, also our dogs. Quiet & peaceful. Shame we had to contact owner on arrival as floor covering was torn, which they were aware of. Oven needs cleaning, trays need replacing. Dressing gown belt missing - used a peg ! Wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely recommend. Thankyou

The cottage is beautifully decorated and has everything you need.

Even the dogs are catered for . Biscuits throws bowls ect. The only thing I would say is the bedroom is so small. I am not a large person but it is difficult to get around the bed. I feel the snug is waste of precious space. I would take the wall down in-between bed and snug. This would make it perfect. The pub close by is lovely. We did Sunday carvery. Did take the car the road too busy to walk with 2 dogs. Loads around to do and see. War museum, reservoir, beeches and local beaches.

Beautiful place to stay.

Lovely decorated and clean. Good location, easy to find. Good base to visit areas in Cornwall. Fantastic

We had a lovely week's stay in Inny Brook Burrow.

The cottage is really tastefully decorated and well equipped (right down to torches plus spare batteries) . Both human and doggie welcome packs were a lovely touch, and very much appreciated. The outside space is small but all that you would need, and having the stream running past the garden is pleasant. I can just imagine how nice it would be sitting outside listening to the water trickling past with a glass of wine, but since it was February we didn't get the chance! There are recycling bins onsite which is a bonus, saves having to find bins locally. The location is perfect for exploring Cornwall. The only negative comment I have is to echo the other feedback, there is a dampness issue, hence why my review is 4, not 5 stars. Another niggle (but completely out with the owners control) was another guest allowing their dog to run through the front gardens. So if there was any dog poo in the front garden it wasn't from my dogs....

Had a lovely stay despite the weather.

The cottage was nicely decorated ,clean and comfortable and had everything you needed . Pet bowls and towels provided which were very welcome especially with all the rain we had.. The road down to the cottage was a bit daunting for driving but then again this is what you'd expect in Cornwall. I would Definitely recommend.

The property is quite small but beautifully done and on a pretty development.

The only thing that caused us problems was the damp. It was quite bad in the kitchen in particular and we had to wash all cutlery and crockery before use as they smelled of damp. Unfortunately, clothes in the wardrobe would be damp the next morning. The smell of damp was sometimes quite overpowering.

We was without hot water for the whole stay except the shower which was very good.

The was a smell of urine in the bedroom near the window and the bed wasn't the comfiest. The bungalow was very clean and location wise was good, a nice peaceful location.

Nice setting and place is well equipped there is a damp problem though which you can always smell.

It leaves clothes and bedding feeling a little damp. Also the shower switch burnt out while we were there which took out the electrics, the housekeeper dealt with this very quickly

Just as it said online.

Really pleased with property would highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at Inny Brook Burrow when we arrived everything was lovely and clean and a lovely welcome pack for both us and our dogs, the cottage had everything we needed it was nice and peaceful, the garden was lovely just a shame we couldn’t sit outside in the evenings as the weather was not on our side but the sofas were very comfy for relaxing with a glass of wine or sitting in the snug.

The cottage is in a great location for exploring the North Coast with plenty of great places to explore.

Everything as described and lovely attention to detail.

Having read the previous review I can say I was slightly anxious about our stay.

The owner contacted us 2 days before to clarify some things that were not available, notably that Netflix would not be available as was previously listed, I note that the listing has been amended now. The property was clean and inviting. The property was very comfortable and a welcome return after long days walking. The kitchen provided everything we needed for our stay. Even our dog felt welcome with bowls, towels and trays available. The property gave us access to Cornwall as well as Devon which was great! The narrow country lanes are an experience to be sure. Thank you for a comfortable stay.

We were the first guests to occupy Inny Brook Burrow under new ownership.

The new owner spoke with me on the phone the day prior to our arrival, on his return home from the property to confirm that everything was in order and awaiting our welcome. It was a holiday with memories we would like to forget. Our findings upon arrival: Accuracy of listing - Not accurate. The listing portrays a pristine 5 tick property. In reality, the condition has clearly deteriorated since the time when the listing was first placed. During our stay, and due to the change of ownership, the listing was briefly readvertised by Sykes as “new”, however, the listing and photos to truly present the property in its current state has not changed. Cleanliness - not clean. Filthy in most areas. Internally: Filthy hard floors, windows, doors, layers of dust and debris on all surfaces and ledges. Pitted black mould on curtains and blinds, stained dirty carpets, hair and debris clinging to the base of curtains. Other areas too numerous to mention in this brief review. Comfort: The listing boasts a riverside camellia garden, an idyllic space to relax? There is not a camellia in sight? There are no flowers at all, apart from living weeds and plastic hanging balls laced with cobwebs, as is the entire rear of the property. The garden furniture is rusty and green mouldy, unfit for its purpose? A totally depressing, unkempt outdoor space. Facilities & Maintenance - listing states entertainment with complimentary movies with Netflix? No Netflix? The property is in great need of a thorough deep clean, replacement of carpets, blinds and garden furniture, and an uplift in decor, both internally and externally. The owner believes that £100 compensation for our totally compromised and stressful holiday is adequate, which is inclusive of payment in recognition of my personal cleaning services, a pre agreed arrangement with the owner that, if I obtained the cleaning materials and equipment, and carried out the basic necessary cleaning, to try and make us more comfortable, I would be compensated for my efforts? This is a true and honest review, my opinion of the cleanliness is not subjective, as has been evidenced by photographs.
