Helsbury Dog Photo Competition 2014 Entry 13

Andy and Louise Taylor came to stay recently and had a lovely time: "We had a lovely stay at Marhayes, Helsbury Park at the end of June, it really is a dogs paradise not to mention luxury for humans!  We will certainly recommend your holiday cottages to our friends, and for sure will visit again ourselves."

New Interactive Booking Form

We've given our pdf booking form a bit a facelift and also made it interactive which means when you download it you have a choice. You can print and fill it in by hand or you can type into the form fields and select the options as you go, save it and then print it or email it to us. Which means that you get a copy of what you've sent us and it saves you time.

Here's the new booking form.

Helsbury Park Photo Competition 2007 / Entry 14

Sharon Bean came recently and has sent us this amazing shot of her dog Louis, he is a 3 year old Grand Bassett Griffon Vendeen. Sharon stayed in Marhayes and said "The cottages were fabulous! By far the best we have ever stayed in. Our favourite haunt was Daymer (which is where the shot was taken) but the whole area is just magnificent. We lived in Bude many years ago so that part of the country is quite dear to our hearts and is now firmly in Louis as he loved that coastline and the moors. Helsbury really is well thought out and a home from home."

Rich and Lynda Lovatt sent these lovely shots of Jazz and Hextall [great name!] after they recently returned from a fantastic week at the Farmhouse, they said "Having stayed at Broadview last year we knew what a great area it was for the dogs, the highlghts were Daymer Bay, a beach just up from Widemouth and of course on the Helsbury grounds. We would like to thank you for a great week in superb accommodation and surroundings (thanks also for the recomendation of 'The Old Inn' - delicious food). We hope to be back next year."

Helsbury Park Photo Competition 2007 / Entry 9

Well, we've seen some busy dogs in our time but Whistler must win the award for the most walks in on week! He's been all over Helsbury, up Roughtor and Brown Willy and all along the coastal path from Trebarwith to Bedruthan. Great work Whistler, it looks like you had a great time, Mike Rudd, Whistler's Dad said: "Properly dog friendly, high quality accommodation and superb location. We also dropped lucky in coinciding our stay with one of the few weeks of the English summer in 2007, so we enjoyed the best of everything Helsbury has to offer. "

Helsbury Park Photo Competition 2007 / Entry 7

Vin Kelly submitted these superb shots of his dog Benjamin enjoying his holiday at Helsbury, he also said "Firstly a huge appreciation of what you have at Helsbury Park. We stayed in Westhayes and it was better than we ever hoped for. Despite the weather it was the most relaxing, comforting and energetic holiday for a long while. We wanted to stay in England, rather than put Benjamin in kennels, and the week we had at Helsbury was truly excellent."

Helsbury is Totally 5 Star...

Wow, that was hard work, the grading system has been changed and the test for 5 stars is even more rigorous. We were hoping to get Broadview up to being 5 stars from 4 and we did it! It's a testament to the investment we've made and the high standards of quality we maintain and we're extremely pleased to have achieved the mark. But we won't rest there, we're looking to achieve excellence in everything we do, we'll keep you up to date as we go.

All New Broadview...

We've recently upgraded Broadview , the most dog friendly cottage in Britain, even further by adding new flooring throughout the whole property, slate in the kitchen, solid oak in the hall and living room, luxurious carpets in the bedrooms and tiles in a new wet room. All the doors to the room and cupboards have been replaced and we've also given it a new slate roof. It is looking absolutely stunning and we are fully expecting 5 stars at our next inspection.


We asked Jackie Stanley, one of North Cornwall's leading estate agents to take a look around and she said: "The property is beautifully presented and in a most appealing setting with the benefit of approximately two acres adjoining. In my opinion, Broadview is of exceptional quality and has been very stylishly converted."
