It was perfectly placed, minutes away from Newquay and all major roads to place like Eden Project and Tintagel Castle. The bungalow itself was lovely, lots of space and all the home comforts you could wish for. Alison the owner was quick to sort a problem with the heating for us and I felt she was very helpful. The information sheets she supplied were full of useful hints of where to eat, shop and visit. We would definitely stay here again, and hope to the next time we are in Cornwall.
