  • Glenys

    Owners went out of their way to ensure that everything was in place for a very comfortable stay. We explored several local areas but especially enjoyed Pentewan beach and the busy harbours at Mevagissey and Fowey.

  • Janet

    This is a great base for exploring this part of Cornwall e.g. Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan. Pentewan Sands is an ideal beach for little ones. Our hosts were in touch with a suggestion as we had a toddler with us and this was appreciated- thank you.

  • Angelo

    Good communication prior to arrival, and a message to check that everything was OK on arrival day. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay, (other than the weather!) and would recommend this property.
