Fabulous cottage which was a wonderful home for Christmas - thanks for the tree! Underfloor heating and fires glorious in the cold. Bath felt decadent and the outside shower has to be experienced- huge grins after a long winter walk. Everything we needed to enjoy a cozy, restful Christmas.

Blissful location, lovely and quiet. We were really grateful for the fully enclosed garden which even kept our Houdini Jack Russell in! We loved the open plan space and a really well equipped kitchen. It was also really nice to take the dogs for long walks to the estuary without having to drive anywhere. We felt welcome, well cared for and fully abRead morele to relax. Thank you Hide

Very nice cottage. Located near to the village pub which we used on several occasions to both have drinks and dine. Parking at the property was a little difficult if you have a large car but we managed. Overall I would recommend staying here.

Beautiful week's holiday for our family of 5. Loved the open plan kitchen. Beds very comfortable. Our daughters found the loft room lovely and airy. Manaccan village is very quiet, one pub, no stores and narrow roads a little too busy to be able to safely walk about, especially on dog walks. Helford is so lovely and just a 5 min drive across the waRead morey, so we tended to spend our morning walks there and for evening drinks. Cottage in a good accessible location for all villages. We love Cadgwith and Coverack. Been holidaying in Cornwall for 20 years since our first daughter born, so have lots of photos of our 3 girls at various ages around this gorgeous part of the country.
