A lovely cottage, ideally situated between the north and south coast of Cornwall. Very well equipped and maintained. The owners are extremely helpful and provided clear communications ahead of the stay. This is the only holiday home we have ever been to where we could happily live!

Perfect for exploring!

This was great to explore the area. My mum , my brother and myself were down to revisit places my late dad and mum used to love to visit. The converted barn was lovely. I was really tired after driving down from the north west and the hosts were really patient with me when I asked for help.

Peaceful cottage.

We came to Cornwall for the week to visit friends and hike. The cottage was perfect for us. We loved the quiet, rural location. It is very comfortable and well equipped. Close to Truro and beautiful hikes along the coastline and at National Trust properties. It was lovely to be able to sit outside as we were very fortunate with a week of perfect weather. We definitely hope to return next year.

Great location

Perfectly placed for exploring. We were able to visit some of the beautiful beaches on the North Coast - Chapel Porth, Godrevy etc, as well as the Roseland and Falmouth. The children really enjoyed a trip to the Seal Sanctuary at Gweek. The barn was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We didn't meet/weren't greeted by the owners, who live adjacent, but I assume we could have contacted them easily if we needed to.
