Well positioned for travel all around Cornwall. Fully equipped and everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Close to Truto and with in easy reach of Falmouth. Fallow the instruction for location and its easy to find do not follow satnav. The lane leading to the cottage is a bit rough so drive carefully along it. not suitable for low sports cars. Highly recommended for a quiet stay.

Very tastefully renovated and decorated with unique modern art work The deck and garden are also very good and our 12 year old Labrador loved sniffing and sunbathing in the garden. The bed is extremely comfortable and the large bathroom and shower are luxurious. We loved that it was so central to so many places we visited from Fowey in the south east to St Ives in the north west. However I did not give it 5*s because of the driveway. Although warned in the details we didnât expect it to be quite so long and the pot holes and bumps very difficult to navigate so we made sure we only went out and back once a day.
