Meadowside Cottage, Characterful Grade 2 Listed Cottage near to Wadebridge and Padstow

The cottage itself is beautiful, full of character, and set in a peaceful location. The bed was comfortable, and being able to bring a dog was a real plus. Initially, the host seemed relaxed and welcoming.

The bathroom facilities need attention – the water pressure is extremely poor, the bath is shallow, and the toilets need de-scaling. Wi-Fi is virtually non-existent, which meant we couldn’t stream or even reliably use phones! Only one bath towel and one hand towel were provided per person for the whole stay, which isn’t sufficient. When I accidentally left behind a £300 dog bed and was already on a long drive home, the host made zero effort to return it, despite it being only a short drive to a friend’s house nearby. I was very taken by her laissez-faire attitude. I later discovered the property has been sold recently, which makes it clear to me that guest care is not a priority. I went out of my way to be a good guest, even taking their bins out, so I was very disappointed by the lack of goodwill and dismissive attitude from the host.

The cottage was lovely, spacious bedrooms and lounge and well equipped kitchen. A good location, five minutes from Wadebridge in a quiet village

Pretty cottage, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen pretty garden

Awful damp/dog smell downstairs- a lot of air freshers around however this didn’t help. The stairs are very steep which is fine as its an old house but the last step cuts into the floor space on the hallway- this may sound trivial and i know the property is old but it worried me that one of the kids could have fell down this in the night if they got up- it needs something to reduce the risk of falling down the stairs. Finally the steps infront of the cottage were loose/in need of repair, unfortunately my elderly mother fell on these and cut her foot open, this meant she was unable to walk/ come with us to the beach etc and spent most of the time at the cottage. We even brought her some more shoes in the village hoping she’d be more comfortable but unfortunately not. I did inform the owner about the issue and was disappointed with her response, just i hope she gets better and she’d look into the hazard. A good will gesture would be to at least refund the shoes we had to buy or a portion if the costs paid. Not the holiday we hoped for.

An absolute stunning family cottage with a beautiful garden where you can sit out, in the peaceful surroundings and also a summer house however it was not finished inside but once it's finished will add an extra cosy sitting area on cooler evenings. The beds were very comfortable, the only thing with the double room there was no wardrobe and very little space to put your clothes. A very cozy living room with log burner and a well equipped kitchen for the times we decided to cook, along with a good sized dining room. The cottage was all enclosed if you have dogs which we had two and we could let them out in the garden without having to stay with them. Wadebridge was a 5 minute drive away where there are lots of shops and also supermarkets. I would definitely stay here again in a heart beat.

The short but winding roads to get to the property where sometimes theres only enough room to get one car through and you then have to reverse to a wider part of the road for both cars to get through.

Beautiful view from the back garden. The absolute peaceful location.

Very slow internet speed (often <7Mbps). It meant watching TV or films was v difficult.

Beautiful house in peaceful surroundings but close to the wonderful Cornish beaches. Excellent host, stunning facilities and the perfect place to enjoy some family time.

Nothing- all amazing

charming cottage, full of character and very well equipped kitchen for cooking family meals. cosy and comfortable and spotlessly clean. it made our holiday even more memorable.

honestly? there's nothing we didn't like, it was better than what we expected.
