Reviews of Puddleduck Valley 4 stars

Phil and Melanie are brilliant hosts...warm, accommodating yet unobtrusive.

The location of the property was very private, semi nestled in the woodlands! Fresh farm eggs and cake were left for our arrival, with the option to purchase various wines which were left in the property for us to peruse.

Having a hot tub at the property, it would be handy to have a washing machine. The washing line was broken too, which made drying the towels a bit of a chore, but none of that spoilt our stay.

Beautiful location and, by car, easy to get to all the activities (Tamar Lakes water sports) and sites (Bude, Boscastle) we wanted to visit. Lovely apartment - Appleloft - bigger than we thought, spotlessly clean, well appointed with good quality appliances, well thought out, qaulity bed linen with super comfortable beds and sofas. We loved watching the birds at the bird feeder in the mornings, best view from a bathroom I have ever had :-) with fluffy towels and a good shower which is appreciated after long days out and about. We were pleasantly surprised by the allocated outside area for the apartment - we thought it would be a small bit of garden out the back for us, but it was a lovely space, with wonderful views of the woods - especially enjoyed with a morning cuppa before the day begins. It was quiet and peaceful, eventhough we knew other guests were staying in the other cottages from their cars, we would never otherwise have known! Had some lovely walks locally for our dog. I can't thank our hosts, Melanie and Phil, enough - Melanie was so welcoming after a horrendous drive from London. We had some hiccoughs with major delays getting there and a delivery - but she was so kind, eventhough clearly busy with other arrivals, it really made all the difference!

There is nothing we didn't like.

Lovely property excellent hosts. I had no trouble parking but I suspect an older/less expirienced driver may of struggled to turn round on narrow track at front of property. But a minor consideration and I would gladly go back again.

Nothing stay was relaxing access to woods on doorstep and easy access to the sea.

Tucked away and so peaceful

The property was positioned in the most beautiful country setting was peaceful and tranquil. The loft house was so cosy with the most beautiful views. We had our own garden to sit out in as apart of the accommodation would definitely recommend Puddleduck Valley Melanie our host was so lovely and accommodating nothing was too much trouble. Just what we needed an amazing relaxing break away from reality ♥️

Location & setting

Pure nature and an escape. Felt like going back in time, didn't even want to look at my phone or watch tv, there was so much to enjoy. Long nature walks, hot tub, cost bed, stargazing. The owners were incredible. They took the time to make it special for me and my partner and even wrote out a hand written card for him to see. Lovely location, lovely people. Thanks again

Compact but has everything you need. Very clean. Well equipped kitchen. Hot tub worked really well.

The fridge is small for a family of 4.

Really beautiful location

N/a

The location was fantastic. Tucked away and very quiet. The property was spotlessly clean, and the bed was really comfortable. We paid the extra for the use of the hot tub, which was lovely. We really enjoyed being outside in the evening and listening to the sound of the owls hooting

The only minor criticism would be that the sofa wasn't the most comfortable and the kitchen could have done with a couple more saucepans. Other than that, everything was great

Such a beautiful place to stay, the location is hidden away in the countryside and was the perfect little retreat for our family. We we found the location perfect to radiate out to visit different beaches and sites in Devon and Cornwall and we came home to a little oasis of tranquillity. We found the house really well equipped (particularly the kitchen, which was small but had everything we needed to prepare meals) we also loved the private garden area to have barbecues and enjoyed the wood heated hot tub in the evening after a busy day! The hosts were so welcoming and friendly and they provided an excellent guide to the area inside the holiday house and little touches like a load of bread, milk and butter in the kitchen when we arrived was so thoughtful! I would highly recommend this location to couples or families looking to get away from it all and enjoy some peace!

Nothing serious at all, everything was really well done! The only warning I would heed is that in the house we stayed in the children's room was in a sort of loft/roof space, the kids loved it because it was their own little hide away but the stairs up and down were quite steep and my youngest wasn't quite 3 at the time of travel. There are stair gates at the top and the bottom so we could easily secure it (so its safe) and my little one was actually fine scampering up and down the stairs, it was me that found it a bit tricker climbing up and down for bedtime stories and crawling in to make the beds in the morning etc. I wouldn't let it put you off though unless you have mobility issues. It's just something to have in consideration for younger families. For us it was a fun novelty and as I said the kids adored it.

The location was stunning as was the accommodation. (Appleloft) was so cosy it had everything you needed and more .. the extra thoughtful essentials were a great touch. Lovely walks and even gifted local Honey on leaving ! Thanks for a lovely couple nights away . Very accommodating for dogs too. They loved it !

The sofas weren’t the most comfortable.
