	We've had a wonderful week's holiday - its a cosy, comfortable & well equipped cottage. We've all really enjoyed our daily swim in the pool, and usually had it to ourselves. We celebrated New Year's Day with hot chocolate & hobnobs on Crooklets Beach in glorious sunshine. We saw plenty braving the surf at Widemouth Bay! Have also enjoyed trips to Tintagel, Boscastle and Clovelly. Will definitely recommend Blackberry and Bramblewood to friends. The Harrison Family Jan 08
	Lovely area –smashing cottage. Our two boys had a magical Christmas and because of that – so did we. Hope to return in the near future. The Devo Family Dec 07

Just wanted to say thank you for the week we just spent at Blackberry lodge. Place was better than we expected which is always good! We certainly managed to pack a lot in while we were down there and tired the boys out.

The wifi access connected straight up and worked fine the whole time I was there. It was really useful. We went onto the 'Visit Bude' website and found Crackington Haven had rock pools (which Harry enjoys) and then used the web to find the tide times so we turned up when we could get access to them.

We have spent a lovely comfortable two weeks here at Blackberry - a very well equipped cottage. Widemouth Bay good for young children when tide is low as shallow pool of sea is left - great for paddling or floating on surf board !

Bude lovely, cottage great - beautiful garden and kids loved play area. Will definitely be back!

It was the best cottage we've stayed in - like home from home. So nice to have a proper, carefully tended garden, dishwasher and digibox when you're used to them at home.

We had a brilliant time and hope to come back.

Blackberry is great, with everything we needed and more! Abigail loved learning to swim in the pool ! We've had a lovely week and looking forward to returning in the future. Thank you Katherine for the excellent communications before and during our stay.

The cottage was lovely and clean with everything you could ever need to use catered for. We found lots to do in the area and there were many nice coastal walks to choose.
C Knight May 07 (second stay)

We've had a fantastic week. We took some great costal walks along the cliff tops - just long enough for a decent walk but having great cafes in the middle where we all enjoyed ice-cream. (A bit of bribery as the boys are only 4 and 5!). The pool was a fantastic bonus - one we've used everyday. Harry is particularly proud of the fact that he can now swim nearly a width with no armbands. Thank you for helping to make our stay so enjoyable and comfortable. The personal touches made us feel very welcome.

We had a lovely week; the cottage was all that we were hoping for. The weather got very exciting over the New
Year and the waves were fabulous.

My daughter and her partner joined us for the weekend and we celebrated the New Year on Crooklets Beach with a bottle of Champagne bought hurriedly from the Preston pub at 10 o’clock. The moon came out as we watched the fireworks

Fantastic beach fun - great out of season. We paddled and Daisy (2½) swam in Summerleaze, Crooklets and Sandymouth.

Thanks for the lovely warm pool and floats - great fun, and changing area very clean - happy to use them.

Thank you for the friendly touches and helpful staff - makes all the difference to a holiday

We had a brilliant holiday! Blackberry Lodge was so impressive, really clean and tidy. We loved it! All the little things mean so much, eg games, books.

Bude is lovely. We spent a lot of time on the beach. Jamie (12 months nearly!) enjoyed exploring the rock pools, while Dad (Kevin) and Philip (14 years) enjoyed the body boarding. Justine (Mum) had fun watching everyone have fun!

A great holiday had by all. Hope the next people have as much fun as we did!
The Regan Family Aug 06 (and rebooked for summer 2007)

We are so sad to leave this cottage which has been our home (and far cleaner and better equipped than my own) for two weeks now.

Last night my son suggested a game of 'sticky toffee' in the fields beyond the garden and all of us, aunties, uncles, Granddad and Nannie (extended family in cottage next door) spent the most glorious hour winging our way in and out of the flower beds and through the climbing frame until we were out of breath.

What a magical place this is.
E Tennant July 06

There were many little extras we didn't expect which made us feel welcome and at home.

The pool in particular is one of the best we've used in a holiday cottage, and both children (4 & 9yrs) enjoyed the play area.

We enjoyed ourselves, as always, and will come back - again!
The Crotty Family June 06 (Previously stayed in Bramblewood)

Although the weather wasn't brilliant, the cottage exceeded our expectations with everything we needed and was very cosy in the evenings.

As a first family holiday I don't think we could have done any better.
The Sweeting Family May 06

What lovely weather we've been blessed with to enjoy this lovely part of Cornwall.

We spent a day in Boscastle, imagining what happened in the flash flood on '04. We drove to Clovelly in Devon and climbed down the pretty cobbled streets to the harbour, then up again to visit the famous donkeys in their stables. Had a bracing walk along the cliff tops at Port Isaac and ate delicious pasties on the quayside.

Loved the cottage and all the facilities -thank you for your hospitality - especially the Easter eggs.
The Evans Family April 06

Had an enjoyable pre-Easter break at Blackberry -very impressed with the standard of accommodation (and the Easter Eggs awaiting us on arrival)!

Thank you for helping to make our time at Blackberry so enjoyable. We would very much like to return at some point in the future.
C Dodd March 06

We loved Blackberry Lodge. It was equipped with everything we needed.

Very tastefully decorated, clean & new. It was like home from home and made our stay here in Cornwall lovely and relaxing.

We consider ourselves very fortunate to have stumbled across your lovely cottage on the internet.
