Dromore, Dromore, St. Breward, St Breward, Cornwall inc Scilly, PL30 4LY

We have just returned from a perfect week-long Cornwall break, staying at the Dromore cottage in the village of St Breward. We were met on arrival and shown around. Everything was in good working order and well presented. The lounge was a great space and we also used the garden for late afternoon sunbathing (we had very good weather). We used the games room for pool and darts which was great fun. The enormous thick stone walls which give the cottage its lovely character can impede WiFi in some rooms, but we were quite happy with the coverage it provided us. We didn't use it, but we noted an outside shower and hooks for hosing down wet suits and beachwear. There is a BBQ in the garden. St Breward is well located on top of the moors, perfect for exploring the North Cornwall coast between Boscastle and Padstow. It is a rural location, so expect cows walking down the middle of the road (or standing there looking at your car blankly), and expect some proper country roads (they seem hair-raising at first, but there are always passing places), we even drove across a ford on one trip - but this is the charm of Cornwall. The main roads all go east-west; if you want to go north-south, you have to use the smaller lanes. The Old Inn pub is a gentle 600 metre walk. We allowed 15 minutes to walk it, because there were always things to look at on the way - cows on the common, or an amusing cat sprawled out in the sun. And it is a brilliant holiday pub. The village shop is in the pub car park. Their pasties are enormous and perfect for a day out walking. We will definitely look to return here in a year or two. The cottage and the village had everything we wanted in a peaceful, rural break.

We have just come home from this beautiful cottage, fully equipped and in a nice area. The one big issue we had was we had no access to be able to use the central heating as we needed it. On arrival inside it was freezing and the owner told us the heating comes on and off during the day at set times to a comfortable heat. I commented that it wasn?t warm at all and he said ? just put on a extra jumper?.

We presumed he was joking until a bit later when we had to use the sofa throws to keep warm. We didn?t want to use the log fire as we had young children in t

Lovely spacious cosy cottage to stay in. Beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms. The Old Hill pub in the village had a great atmosphere and served hearty meals. Six of us stayed for a long weekend and would certainly return. Within easy reach of Wadebridge and St Austell and the Camel trail.
