The dairy was absolutely beautiful. We had everything we needed. The location was gorgeous, we were able to do trips all over Cornwall, so we saw the impressive coastline and other highlights. The dairy itself is very well equipped and as well very comfortably furnished. It is highly recommended

The cream of the crop is at the Dairy.

The Dairy is exceptionally well equipped and extremely comfortable. We felt completely at home each evening as we returned from exploring this wonderful part of the country. We would have no hesitation in staying here again.

Dairy Cottage

Such a great and peaceful place to stay in Cornwall! The cottage had everything we needed. My family and dogs enjoyed it; we felt right at home. Most of all, the host was so lovely and kind, the welcome pack was so beautiful. We would love to stay at Dairy cottage again and will recommend it to family and friends.

Perfect base to explore with a toddler and dog

Thank you Jane and Gwyn for a wonderful stay! The Dairy had everything we needed for our stay, and it was lovely to meet our hosts and their dog Nala when we checked in. The welcome pack was amazing - a cream tea, milk, butter and wine! Well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and lots of handy local info. The garden was amazing, our toddler loved the trampoline and dog enjoyed mooching around in the field.

The Dairy at Stithians

A wonderful place to stay to explore and take in the wonders of Cornwall. Hosts Jane and Gwyn were very welcoming and their beautiful dog Nala made a great companion for walks through the adjoining fields.The house is charming and very well presented, living up to our expectations, then some. The property is highly recommended for four people wishing to be located in the heart of the best parts of Cornwall.

A Hidden Gem

This beautiful Old Dairy exceeded our expectations it was just stunning. The Welcome Hamper and Cream Teas was a lovely touch and was enjoyed by all. We instantly felt at home would have loved to have used Wood burner but if was not cold enough we will have to go back!! The setting was delightful very quite which we liked after a day out exploring Cornwall. Also had good speed internet connection which we always look for when on holiday.

Lovely barn conversion & has everything you need and more. Very spacious & perfect for 2 couples as the bedrooms are either end of barn & each have their own bathrooms.

Perfect!

We had a lovely stay in the dairy last week, myself, my mum and Chester the dog. The friendly owners made us feel very welcome and left us a lovely hamper and essentials which we really appreciated after a long drive. The accommodation is beautifully furnished and very cosy and comfortable....we thought the location was ideal for visiting most parts of Cornwall with lots of places within easy reach. We really enjoyed our holiday and can highly recommend a stay here..we would not hestitate to return to the dairy on future visits to Cornwall.

Comfort and birdsong.

A delightful, cosy barn conversion next to the owner’s beautiful granite farmhouse was our shelter for the week. Extremely comfy beds, a cosy wood burner, soft sofas and well equipped kitchen and bathrooms. The grounds were full of wild primroses and nesting birds.

5 star holiday cottage

The Dairy truly is a 5 star holiday cottage and fully deserves all the 5 star reviews that it has. The Dairy is a large, well equipped and comfortable cottage, and was perfect for our stay for a week over Christmas. It was cosy, warm and welcoming and spotlessly clean throughout. If we could plan our perfect home, this would be it! The welcome pack was a nice surprise too, including a cream tea ready to go on arrival, jam first naturally! If you're looking for somewhere to stay in Cornwall, with easy access to both North and South coasts, this is hard to beat. We're already planning our return here for later in the year.

Beautiful home from home

We have just spent a wonderful week at this beautiful cottage. The standard was excellent and probably the nicest and cleanest holiday home we have ever stated in . The decor is lovely and in keeping with the character of the cottage. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. The welcome hamper was much appreciated after our long journey. I thought the fresh flowers were a lovely touch although my husband and Son were more impressed with the sky sport . We look forward to many more visits while our son studies at Falmouth university.
