We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Marquis House. The swimming pool was fantastic and the dogs loved walking the Tamar trails. Relaxing in the gorgeous lounge every evening was a delight.

The cottage was very comfortable and in a lovely quiet location. The pool was excellent. The owner was friendly and had left us tea, coffee, milk, fruit juice, etc. etc. which we found very useful. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate in recommending the cottage to anyone else.

Charming house & gardens. Well equipped kitchen & swimming pool was a bonus to enjoy. All bedrooms I noted did not have full sized beds which I did find at 510 quite restrictive.
