Delightful property in a lovely quiet location but within easy reach of interesting gardens and coastal paths. Kitchen was well equipped and the lounge area was comfortable. We were there for 4 nights but could have happily stayed for longer. Would certainly use again when we next visit Cornwall.

Comfortable and cosy retreat from the rain

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage which was very well equipped, comfortable and cosy; just perfect for a short break when the weather was less than kind. The hosts were extremely welcoming and made sure that we had everything we needed.
