    Nothing. it was perfect

    In a perfect location for Mevagissey, St Austell and surrounding beaches, this properly had everything you could need for a short stay; a well equipped kitchen, spotlessly clean bathroom, comfortable bed. The garden was beautifully kept, with lushious views over the fields and the pergola area was perfect for cosy nights by the chiminea. I loved the welcome basket on arrival: one of the best we’ve ever had on any stay. There were even small touches like Christmas crackers on the pillows and doggy treats for our pooch. The bathroom scent in the reed dispenser was amazing as was the mint air freshener (it’s a pity you don’t put the local seller on the bottles for this as I definitely would have gone and purchased some!)

    The location is perfect for visiting a lot of Cornwall's finest sights. Very quiet and peaceful and you can totally switch off. The outside area is beautiful and well thought out, table, lights, log burner and a stunning view. The Crown Inn local village pub is superb, as other reviewers have stated. Don't miss it. Great food and service and beautiful ambience. 2 minute walk from the cottage.

    There was nothing to dislike.

    Thank you for a wonderful stay in a fabulous location. The Old Dairy has been beautifully designed and well equipped to meet your every need. The attention to detail including little personal touches and an excellent welcome pack made for a perfect stay. The highlight is the delightful outside courtyard area with a chiminea stocked with logs, comfortable seating and warm blankets available. I would highly recommend the Old Dairy.

    Excellent all round. This cottage was spotless and very well equipped. There was nothing that you didn’t need. The location was ideal for us as we visited the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens Ashley was so friendly and accommodating. Thank you so much for all the goodies you left us The Crown Inn just a couple of minutes walk was also fantastic the food was yummy. We ended up having a meal there twice Would stay here again in an heartbeat a little hidden gem.

    A hidden gem in Cornwall

    Nothing about the Dairy. We were anxious initially about the parking space being so close to the bend in the road but it was fine. I just got out the passenger side of the car before parking up so it could be as close to the wall as possible.

    Everything! A hidden gem I think. It is compact but has everything you need & is very comfortable. The courtyard garden & gas BBQ are like an outside room. You can watch the sunset from the garden chairs overlooking the fields. Although the owners live next door, we felt we had privacy & our own space. The welcome pack of biscuits, jug of milk, tea bags etc was an unexpected but really helpful touch as arriving on a hot Sunday meant we couldn’t buy fresh produce like milk before arrival. Would recommend if you don’t mind the compact nature of the accommodation.

    Such a great place with an excellent design and hosts that predicted every need…..we were blown away with this place to the extent we booked in for an additional night.
