Fantastic Cornwall base for couples

We had a lovely three weeks at this property. Owners were available during our stay any time we needed advice about the local area. Property was very clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Although a small property it was airy and had all the facilities we needed for our stay. Would highly recommend and hope to return again at some point.

Cosy nest for 2

Super immaculate and tastefully decorated, just the right size for 2 people and a pooch. Really impressed with the amenities and friendliness of hosts who had bags of information about the area, will recommend to all our family and friends.
