We've had a wonderful
week's holiday - its a cosy, comfortable & well
equipped cottage. We've all really enjoyed our
daily swim in the pool, and usually had it to ourselves.
We celebrated New Year's Day with hot chocolate &
hobnobs on Crooklets Beach in glorious sunshine.
We saw plenty braving the surf at Widemouth Bay! Have
also enjoyed trips to Tintagel, Boscastle and Clovelly.
Will definitely recommend Blackberry and Bramblewood to
friends.

Our two boys had a magical

return in the near future.

Just wanted to say thank you for the
week we just spent at Blackberry lodge. Place was better than we
expected which is always good! We certainly managed to pack a
lot in while we were down there and tired the boys out.
The wifi access connected
straight up and worked fine the whole time I was there. It was
really useful. We went onto the 'Visit Bude' website and
found Crackington Haven had rock pools (which Harry enjoys) and
then used the web to find the tide times so we turned up when we
could get access to them.

It was the best cottage we've stayed in - like home from home. So
nice to have a proper, carefully tended garden, dishwasher and
digibox when you're used to them at home.
We had a brilliant time and hope to come back.

Blackberry is great, with everything we needed and more! Abigail
loved learning to swim in the pool ! We've had a lovely
week and looking forward to returning in the future. Thank you
Katherine for the excellent communications before and during our
stay. A

The cottage was lovely and clean with everything you could ever
need to use catered for. We found lots to do in the area and
there were many nice coastal walks to choose. C

We've had a fantastic week. We took some great costal
walks along the cliff tops - just long enough for a
decent walk but having great cafes in the middle where
we all enjoyed ice-cream. (A bit of bribery as the boys
are only 4 and 5!). The pool was a fantastic bonus
- one we've used everyday. Harry is particularly proud
of the fact that he can now swim nearly a width with no
armbands. Thank you for helping to make our stay so
enjoyable and comfortable. The personal touches made us
feel very welcome CK

We had a lovely week; the cottage was all that we were hoping for.
The weather got very exciting over the New
Year and the waves were fabulous.
My daughter and her partner
joined us for the weekend and we celebrated the
New Year on Crooklets Beach with a bottle of Champagne bought
hurriedly from the Preston pub at 10 o’clock. The
moon came out as we watched the fireworks. M

Lovely cosy place to stay during blustery Autumn.
Fantastic beach fun- great out of season. We paddled and Daisy (2½)
swam in Summerleaze, Crooklets and Sandymouth.
Thanks for the
lovely warm pool and floats - great fun, and changing area very
clean - happy to use them.
Thank you for the friendly touches
and helpful staff - makes all
the difference to a holiday.

We had a brilliant
holiday! Blackberry Lodge was so impressive, really clean and
tidy. We loved it! All the little things mean so much, eg games,
books.
Bude is lovely. We spent a lot of time on the beach. Jamie (12 months nearly!)
enjoyed exploring the rock pools, while Dad (Kevin) and Philip (14
years) enjoyed the body boarding. Justine (Mum) had fun watching
everyone have fun!
A great holiday had by
all. Hope the next people have as much fun as we did!

We are so sad to leave this cottage
which has been our home (and far cleaner and better equipped than my
own) for two weeks now.
Last night my son suggested a game of 'sticky toffee' in the fields
beyond the garden and all of us, aunties, uncles, Granddad and
Nannie (extended family in cottage next door) spent the most
glorious hour winging our way in and out of the flower beds and
through the climbing frame until we were out of breath.
What a magical place this is.

There were many little extras we didn't expect which made us feel
welcome and at home.
The pool in particular is one of the best we've
used in a holiday cottage, and both children (4 & 9yrs) enjoyed
the play area.
We enjoyed ourselves, as always, and will come back -
again! L

Although the weather wasn't brilliant, the cottage exceeded our
expectations with everything we needed and was very cosy in the evenings. As a first family holiday I don't think we could have done any
better.

What lovely weather we've been blessed with to enjoy this lovely part
of Cornwall.
We spent a day in Boscastle, imagining what happened in
the flash flood on '04.
We drove to Clovelly in Devon and climbed down
the pretty cobbled streets to the harbour, then up again to visit the
famous donkeys in their stables.
Had a bracing walk along the cliff tops
at Port Isaac and ate delicious pasties on the quayside.
Loved the
cottage and all the facilities -thank you for your hospitality -
especially the Easter eggs.

Had an enjoyable pre-Easter break at Blackberry -very impressed with
the standard of accommodation (and the Easter Eggs awaiting us on
arrival)!
Thank you for helping to make our time at Blackberry so enjoyable. We
would very much like to return at some point in the future.

We loved Blackberry Lodge.
It was equipped with everything we needed.
Very tastefully decorated, clean & new. It was like home from home
and made our stay here in Cornwall lovely and relaxing.
We consider
ourselves very fortunate to have stumbled across your lovely cottage
on the internet.
