The lanes were easy to walk along down to Porthleven and it's a great base for visiting the south coast of Cornwall. We wanted for nothing, thank you so much for the welcome pack. I think we both agreed the only thing that could possibly improve it would be some sort of string lighting outside, plugged in type. It got very dark, very quickly and would have been nice to be able to see the lovely border you've planted. We'll absolutely come back here.

Lots of thoughtful little details and all essentials provided, including nice toiletries, dish washer tabs, fire wood etc. Fresh eggs from resident hens! The property is secluded and private, the owners are nearby if needed, but clever planting means it doesnât feel overlooked at all. Surrounded by countryside, amazing skies on a clear night! Slept very well in the comfortable bed. Wish we could have stayed longer.
