We received a lovely, warm welcome when arriving at Mineshop and even though we were early, our cottage was quickly made ready for us. Fresh scones, jam and cream had been lovingly prepared for us, it was a lovely touch and especially delicious, a really lovely start to the holiday. The cottage was clean and tidy, there was plenty of hot water and the kitchen well equipped. There is no mobile signal in the area but most of the cottages are advertised as having WiFi .... I think we managed to get one bar of wifi signal but this was very haphazard and most of the time, there wasn't any. This didn't really bother us as it felt like a proper break away from normal life. The gentle woodland walk into Crackington Haven is gorgeous and our 2 whippets loved the field by the cottages where they could run free and chase their ball. It was a bit frustrating that Crackington Haven beach is not dog friendly until October and in hindsight, we would have booked to come then instead. Overall, Mineshop is a fantastic place to stay with your furry friends, especially if you are looking for utter peace and quiet. We definitely want to return and fingers crossed, we'll be back next year.
