Even provided lint eye-pads to remove make- up!Two TVs ( although we never did fathom out how to direct the cursor on the main set) , plenty of crockery,cutlery,cookware.My! Our bed was ginormous and so comfortable! Lovely showers/WCs. The poor weather meant it was not possible to enjoy the decking to full potential. Everything was clean . We did not meet the owners but Keith sounded very nice and wrote sympstheticallywhen we had to go home a day early due to a sudden health problem! We would most certainly recommend Armandos to anybody and would stay again. It may be my poor parking skills but I found it complicated trying to parallel park outside the front door without banging into the flowerbed behind!

A fabulous base to explore Cornwall, and a beautiful house with every attention to detail. You feel really looked after by the owners, who on this occasion had kindly left a gift of some chocolates and a birthday card for our daughter who had a birthday during the stay, which was a lovely suprise. We will definitely be back again.
