It has everything you need for a comfortable stay and a lovely patio area which gets the sun for most of the day. We were lucky with the weather which was glorious. A good base to explore the area. Our lovely host was there to welcome us on arrival and was there to see us off and make sure we had enjoyed our stay. Would not hesitate to stay here again if we come back to the area.

We wanted to see various parts of Cornwall and nothing was more than an hour and a half's drive away. I suppose it could have been cosier - a wood burning stove would have been nice though it wasn't really cold. The owner was nice and, all in all, it was a good place to stay.
