4.5 ’s A wonderful idyllic situated, typical Cornish cottage. Clean with practically everything one needs to live, and feel at home during a holiday of 3 weeks. Pictures online correlated with reality. Our host Francis was very caring and helpful with all we needed to know. Offered heating possibilities if needed. We had such good weather this was not necessary. Checked on our needs regularly without being too much. Also a lovely vase of roses on the table as a welcome gesture. Location was as we wished, quiet and serene amongst green hills, pastures and beautiful gardens. Plenty of walks within cottage area. Needing a car for further afield but close enough to lovely beach, cafe and hotel. All with good food and suitable for families.All food needs to be self supplied. Perhaps a couple of basics like salt, oil, cleaning products would be a positive addition. Wifi although available was extremely slow. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return at some stage.

Es war sehr schön in dem alten Farmhaus. Die Lage ist außergewöhnlich neben der alten Kirche und wunderbar ruhig in der schönen Natur von Cornwall gelegen. Das Haus ist gemütlich und bietet alle Annehmlichkeiten. Wer Ruhe und Erholung in der Natur sucht, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Der Vermieter ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten dort eine sehr angenehme und gute Zeit.

Wunderschönes Cottage

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub in Cornwall. Das Cottage - in dieser traumhaften Lage war großartig - und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Historisches Gebäude liebevoll restauriert und eingerichtet - mit allem Komfort. Francis war ein sehr fürsorglicher Gastgeber. Wir kommen sehr, sehr gerne wieder.

Fantastic setting

Charming, well-appointed cottage. The secluded garden & courtyard were great, and the setting is both peaceful and picturesque. Great location for the nearby beach & cafes as well as for exploring the wider area. Highly recommended.

Atmospheric cottage in beautiful surroundings

We loved our stay at the old farmhouse. Low wood-beamed ceilings and spacious open planned dining/living area. The cottage is surrounded by beautiful countryside.

We had a great stay at this lovely cottage. The weather was kind and the views on our walk to and from the beach down in Crackington were spectacular. Mr Crocker was a very welcoming and helpful host.

Unterkunft mit viel Charme

Alles prima, ein hübsches Cottage in eher einsamer aber toller Lage. Einwandfrei sauber. Ausreichend Platz für 4 Personen. Wanderungen sind schon ab der Haustür möglich. Auto ist aber Voraussetzung, wenn man Cornwall von dort erkunden will. Netter Vermieter.
