Fabulous base for our holiday

This property was perfect for our family. It had everything we could need, was spacious, comfortable, clean and in a beautiful, peaceful location. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. There were fabulous walks straight from the home and a bus stop a stone's throw away for easy access to the area without taking the car. Perfect for us. We highly recommend this property.

Lovely house in a charming hamlet!

Sue and Alec were FABULOUS hosts to my husband and I during our week stay in Cornwall. We had lots of questions and they were so gracious in helping us find our way. The house itself is quite large and spacious and the hamlet of Morvah affords gorgeous views of the cliffs and water and we enjoyed many walks from there! It was a wonderful stay! Many thanks!

A lovely spring break

We had a lovely time at the Old Schoolhouse and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. Sue was a delightful host and responded quickly to any queries that I had prior to our arrival. A beautiful property with a fabulous fire for those chilly spring evenings.
