What a fantastic accommodation and perfect location. We went to loads of places and would recommend 'the lounge' in Truro (the best food we have had all week!). Thank you for this amazing place to stay and for the memories made!!! ❤

We loved this beautiful 'let'. We also appreciated the touch of Sheffield with the pictures in the lounge area. :) Welcome pack appreciated, everything we could have wanted + hoped for. Thank you!

Thank you so much, we've had the wonderful break. A beautiful clean, well equipped barn. Gorgeous area, wonderful, dog friendly beaches (our favourite was 'Porthtowan'). Not far from 'Sr Ives' where the cheeky seagulls tried to pinch our pasties! Thank you. :) xx
