Very nicely fitted out, all you need to have a lovely stay. The beds are super comfortable, clean, and lovely. The snug/annex at the side of the house was perfect for our 16-year-old Son. The WiFi is very good (Xbox, good, apparently)! The house is quiet at night, the neighbours are very friendly too. The OVEN is a winner, and very efficient. Need one for our house now!! Great work Sally. Looking forward to booking again. There is also more to Falmouth and Penryn than you 1st think, take the time to explore the coastal path is mint.

The owner communicated well with us so we understood how the place worked to ensure we had a pleasant stay. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family. We were welcomed with some provisions such as biscuits, tea, coffee and milk to settle you in, all very nice touches. Our two small dogs enjoyed being there and settled in quickly. What I would say; there is a lovely front lawn but due to the type of gate our small dogs couldnât use it unless there were tethered. Not a major issue as the back and side garden was sufficient. We would recommend and love to stay again.
