With those views you could have a fantastic week here without leaving the living room and kitchen. We could have much better used a washing machine...more relevant to two people than a dishwasher. And a table and two chairs would be more useful than that window counter and stools. People over 60 rarely chamber on to stools. But allinall, best summer hols letting I've stayed in in 50 years coming to Cornwall.
