It is quite remote and the acces road is narrow. The owner is very friendly and helpfull.

The air-conditioning also worked as a heater which was great as the weather was not behaving itself during our holiday. Unfortunately the water pressure in the bathroom is quite low which means the shower is very not very powerful, although this is understandable as the water in the cottage is not from a mains supply. The water is double filtered direct from a boar on site and I must say it is the first time I have enjoyed drinking water. This cottage is on a working farm and is one of a small complex of 4 converted barns, it is isolated but for us this was part of its charm vast open sky and rural views with absolutely no light pollution.

The only other issue was the DVD player did not work. Well equipped apart from pizza cutter, But these are small gripes, the location is so quiet and peaceful the cottage was so warm and cozy, location is perfect for Cornwall south or North. We will definitely book again as such a lovely stay overall.
