Elaine
The property was perfectly equipped with everything you would need during your stay including kitchen utensils and some books, games and dvds. It was very clean and comfortable and very peaceful. Excellent spot for the hop on hop off coastal bus as it passes right by the property so you donât need to do much driving to get you around the beautiful Cornish coast. We were very sad to leave and we would like to return in a couple of years.

The property was spotlessly clean, is very well equipped, and has everything you could need for two people. The owners are lovely, welcoming people - available close by if you need anything at all but unobtrusive unless needed, and are very knowledgable about the local area. The cottage is very close to a small airport but this was never a problem as the planes are small aircraft and the noise is not really noticeable as flights are few. We would definitely return.
