Kids loved the play
area, and great to be able to let an 8 & 3 year old play
with new found friends independently, whilst we watched
from the garden.
A fabulous and stress free
family holiday - the cottage was lovely, and I would
love to return in the future.I
would like to thank you so very much for this lovely
accommodation.

I
would like to thank you so very much for this lovely
accommodation.
We had one of the best holidays ever and would
definitely consider going back. The cottage and all the
facilities are simply superb.

Great cottage with an excellent pool.
It was one of the nicest holidays we’ve had. Spent a relaxing week
between Bude and the cottage - walks either side of the
main beach well worth exploring.
Thanks for the hire of the cottage – we had a great time!

Pool was fantastic, as we had it to
ourselves late one afternoon.
Great cottage – great holiday.

It’s our first visit to
Blackberry Lodge and we have all had a wonderful time. The weather
has been very kind, lots of sunshine and time spent on the beaches
with our two year old jumping in the waves.
Blackberry Lodge is so
well equipped – we found everything (and more) that we
needed. We’ll be back soon!

Blackberry Lodge has been a
haven – well equipped, clean & very comfortable. We visited many
places while we were here, our tips would be
* Launceston Steam Railway.
We combined this with a visit to New Mills farm park. The train
ticket allows you to travel up & down the line all day, and the farm
park kept our two entertained for hours – well worth a visit.
* Crackington Haven beach was great for our two, with a stream that
they played in for hours.
* Atlantic Village Outlet & leisure adventure park, we had intended
to visit for an hour or so on the way to the Milky Way, but we stayed
all day and the children loved it.

We’ve had a lovely week in
this clean, comfortable cottage and have enjoyed the gardens, play
area and swimming pool – every day!
We made the most of the excellent kitchen facilities & also enjoyed
local fish & chips, warm Cornish pasties, a meal at the child
friendly Atlantic Diner & cream teas in Boscastle!

We have had a fab few days staying
at Blackberry Lodge! The Lodge is excellent, with good
facilities and well equipped. The surrounding complex is
clean and well thought out.
A visit to Crackington Haven and the Cabin Cafe is a must!
We hope to visit again.

We have had a great few days staying
at Blackberry, the accommodation has exceeded our expectations,
so well equipped and clean.Over
the past few days we have
made numerous sandcastles on Summerleaze, Widemouth and
Sandymouth, seen huge waves at Duckpool, had a lovely walk in
Coombe Valley and tried to catch fish in the stream.
Had the best cream teas at
Rectory Farm Tea rooms at Morwenstow, and had a
beautiful day at RHS Rosemoor Gardens, the boys (4 and 21
months) enjoyed collecting different coloured leaves.
There is still so much more we would
like to see so hope to come back again.

We have enjoyed our week at
Blackberry, and although the weather could have been better, we
cannot fault the cottage, it's well equipped and a home from
home. Our son enjoyed the books, games and games room. The pool
was well used and gave the opportunity for our 16 week old baby
girl to experience her first swim.
If you go to Launceston Steam Railway, we
recommend you visit the farm park at the end of the line,
especially if you have young children.

Lovely cottage - the play area at
the back has been used a lot, as has the swimming pool and table
tennis.Some lovely cliff walks at
Tintagel, Higher Sharp Nose Point and Hartland Point.
Enjoyed days out at the Eden Project,
Newquay Zoo and the Cornish Cider Farm.

Thank you for providing a most
welcoming holiday home Katherine - we have been amazed at the
level of thoughtfulness that has gone into the cottage's
'supplies'- especially appreciated the bag of plug socket safety
covers - every last detail covered.
Beaches wise - Crooklets,
Summerleaze and Widemouth all fabulous and accessible with the
extensive supplies you need with littlies.

This is our second holiday here and
we've had a great time again but it's gone too quickly. We've
done lots of different things, like Sandymouth beach, walking
from there to Northcott and back, and visiting Tamar Lakes at
Kilkhampton. We also had an exciting visit to Tintagel
when the Devon Air Ambulance had to be called and our boys got
to sit in it. We also saw a seal in the bay.
Hope to be back next year!

The cottage is lovely and very warm !
Our 3 year old daughter has loved staying here, riding her bike, swimming and playing in the play area.
We have had a hectic time
visiting Boscastle, Tintagel, Trethorne Farm, Atlantic
Shopping Village, Bude and beaches, Launceston and
Padstow! Thank you for providing such
excellent accommodation, which has exceeded our expectations.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.
The Evans Family, April 06

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.
C Dodd, March 06

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.
