Howard
We had superb sightings of a Red Kite and a Kingfisher from the comfort of our bed and also the 3 Alpacas for neighbours and a moorehen that came looking through the windows for breakfast every day. The owners were on always on hand if anything was needed but never intrusive. This place definitely had the WOW factor.

Loved the wheelbarrow used for carrying luggage on the short walk to the boathouse. Although 3 properties, very well spread out so extremely private & quiet. Gorgeous views across the fields with several alpacas nearby. The boathouse itself had everything you could need. Very comfortable & great viewing due to the full length glass windows, which opened out onto a deck & small lake. Very central for getting around, Aberaeron & Newquay a short drive away. Highly recommend this property, the most relaxing few days had.

Beautiful pod and the lake was amazing. Watching the bats at night from the tub was especially wonderful. Would definitely recommend this place.
