A lovely cottage in a great position
We had a lovely week in Melbourne cottage very homely , clean and well positioned to be able to do lovely walks on your doorstep . Although the garden is lovely it was not secure for our 18 month old pug who could walk through the gates and also jumped over the wall for this reason I can only give it 4 stars.

Response from Melbourne Cottage
We were sorry to hear that your dog was able to get through the gates. The gaps between the bars are extremely narrow and only the very smallest dogs would be able to do so!
Beautiful cottage in a lovely location
We have stayed twice in this cottage now and have booked to go back again. It’s clean, well equipped and very homely. The garden is a little sun trap, offering peace and quiet. It’s a 10 minute walk down hill to the harbour where there is cafe’s, shop’s and a couple of pubs. A 10 minute walk across the village takes you to the napoleon pub, friendly staff and good food. Plenty of great walks right on the doorstep and a great base to explore North Cornwall. Looking forward to going back.

Cornish Spring Break
The cottage is outstanding, contemporary with all the amenities. It was clean and well maintained. We would have appreciated being told there was a starter pack in the cottage as we brought a lot of unnecessary things with us and the only thing missing (we are being really picky) would have been a melamine salad bowl and servers as we were very conscious of not dropping glasses and breakables outside when having a barbeque. The garden was a little sun trap and best of all entirely gated so the dog could not get out. Jumble had a wonderful time chasing rabbits and visiting the Napoleon Inn – walkable distance! Your neighbours were very friendly too, thank you Andy and Carole for a most welcome break.

Lovely Stay
Lovely, comfortable cottage; clean, very well equipped and stocked. Convenient parking. I would happily recommend Melbourne Cottage, and look forward to another holiday based there.

Homely, comfortable and charming
This is a lovely, cosy, dog friendly cottage in a superb position, ideal for exploring this part of Cornwall, with beautiful walks from the doorstep. Melbourne Cottage is extremely well equipped and has the added benefit of the internet which we found a huge asset.
The Napoleon Inn is only a few minutes away, and offers good beer and reasonably priced food, or The Cobwebs in the main village, about a ten minute walk away, is an excellent pub too. Both pubs are dog friendly.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week here, and have already booked to go back next Easter.
