Buny Whey

Our week’s stay at Buny Whey held many positives. The owners were very friendly and unobtrusive. And I love that Buny Whey is named after a line in the Stargate (movie). The location is amazing. So easy to reach areas such as Fowey, Par sands, Bodmin, Respryn (which is beautiful). Cardinham Woods; well worth a visit. The garden is divine. The birdsong beautiful. Views were very scenic. Shame the bellringers aren’t very good ;-) (I used to be a bellringer a long time ago!). The kitchen is well appointed. The beds are very comfortable. But with regard to the rest accommodation, there were a few problems that we experienced. The television is definitely on the wrong wall. The position of it makes it hard to watch. The bath does not receive hot water. Lukewarm at best. It doesn’t matter how long you run it for. So we couldn’t have a bath. The footpath leading down to Lanlivery pub (The Crown Inn) was so overgrown, it was impossible to walk it if you so desired. The table in the kitchen area is a high table and you felt like a child sat at it! It is too high. So was the table outside. But the lawn chairs were very relaxing to while away the time. The shower was such that you had to get in it to alter it, which may not be conducive to anyone not wishing to get sprayed with cold/hot water! The sinks are square, so water does not easily drain to the plug. I couldn’t find a hoover to clean up. Nor bleach. There was a strange lack of windows in one of the bedrooms and a window that doesn’t open in the living area. In fact, the entire design of the barn is not one that has utilized space effectively. The towels were like sandpaper. Rough (so bring your own soft ones). The road where the barn is nestled is actually quite busy if you are looking for serenity. Tractors, cars, cats (there is a cattery there). We still had a lovely time and our dog was very happy too. ...

Nice little cottage but lacking in the added extras and welcoming touches I've experienced in other cottages which would have made our stay a bit more comfortable. Friendly owners who made themselves available but gave us space and privacy. Lots of niggly issues in the cottage but not enough to ruin the stay and ended up adding to the "rustic" charm. ...

Great relaxing break in a lovely cottage

Would highly recommend staying here. Very quiet and tranquil location, with stunning views. House is really comfortable and owners are really nice and helpful

The place is just beautiful and so much more spacious in reality. The kitchen was very well equipped and the garden was an absolute bonus for the kids. The furnishings were lovely and location spot on.
