The views across Carbis Bay are amazing with plenty of seating options to enjoy them from. Great location to explore the area on foot, by train or car. Hopefully will return again soon.

Loved the take home tote bag too! Liquid for the washing machine would have been helpful and the gate codes in the arrival instructions were incorrect. Otherwise a lovely stay thank you.
