Spotlessly clean with everything you could need for a relaxing stay. We will be back soon.

We will definitely be back, one small suggestion is an outdoor box in the colder months for dirty boots to go in save keeping in kitchen but this is just a suggestion.

Everything that we could have possible wanted was supplied for a comfortable stay.There was even a delicious cream tea on arrival! Ulli and lauraine made great hosts and are very informative. We especially liked sitting in the lovely garden early evening enjoying the the views and tranquillity around the pond, after having a full day exploring cornwall. Would definitely recommend.
