Fantastic week here, the house had plenty of space for 7 of us + 2 dogs. Helpful info around the property as well as tea/coffee/milk on arrival. Plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms, well equipped kitchen with a large table we could easily fit around + a comfortable living room. Outside area is secure including a covered seating area + we spent lots of timRead moree in the games barn when we weren't out exploring! Great location which felt very secluded but allowed us to easily visit other parts of Cornwall. Hide

We booked the cottage for my 80th birthday ten of us enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location we were very lucky with clear blue skies enjoyed 5k walks with 2 dogs who enjoyed the secure lawn between the cottage & the splended games building. We cooked all our meals in the well equipped kitchen and eat outside using the large tables. We played cRead moreroquet on the lawn had such a laugh, had competitions on the pool table, used the table tennis and other games supplied .The cottage is comfortable Hide
