What a quiet and peaceful log cabin , total relaxation. Kerrie and Tim are lovely hosts, they have thought about nearly everything you would need in the cabin during your stay right down to the pegs for your washing. This is a place you will want to return to .

Perfect little hideaway, we would have loved to stay longer so may visit again soon. Loved the doggie play area as there was plenty of space to throw balls and for puppy to run around, some places dont have this even though they state they are dog friendly so a big thumbs up from us! We had tea coffee and biscuits waiting for us on arrival and Read morewe had everything we needed for our short stay. Hide

Absolutely lovely and homely cottage, our rescue dog surprised us and settled in super well on the first night! Dog paddock also super for letting him have a bit of a zoom about safely. In a perfect area between both coast lines as well as pretty close to the Cornwall boarder! Would definitely like to visit again in the future!

Fabulous accommodation, comfortable, clean and well equipped. The doggie play area was perfect as she was able to run free in a safe and secure environment. We would gladly return here and would absolutely recommend it to family and friends.
