The lounge/kitchen/diner offers high ceilings and ample windows, filling the room with natural light and offering views of the garden just outside.

The Cottage was situated in a very peaceful location and was well equipped and clean. The owners live next door and were on hand if we needed any assistance. The small, private courtyard garden was in a sunny position and was very nice for sitting and eating outside in the morning or evening.

Lovely little residence, well equipped and ideal for a couple and a medium sized dog. Great to have a patio area and compact garden for the dog to mooch in but even better there is access to an exercise paddock for more active leg stretches.

Very well presented accommodation. Particularly suited for those with a canine companion as there is a small secure garden as part of the property and a generous, secure paddock which, with the kind permission of the owners, is available for safely exercising your pet.

A perfect home from home. Great base to visit all the coast line in north cornwall and over the border into Devon. Quiet location and the garden is a perfect sun trap. Owners were very friendly and gave great advise on the local area. A great holiday.
