Really spacious cottage with great additions of hot tub and games tables. Lovely views. Helpful responsive owner and welcome pack gift much appreciated. Bit of a quirky layout with one double bedroom being accessible only through main bathroom. A good choice large family/friends groups visiting north Cornwall.

What a super holiday house - clean, spacious and well equipped. We (8 adults, 1 child, 2 dogs) had a marvellous holiday, enjoying the large rooms, enormous garden and peaceful setting.

A beautiful stay! Myself and 9 friends had a great time celebrating my Birthday. Hot tub is fab, warm all day, refilled and treated every day by the host. Farm next door was fun to watch, if a little noisy sometimes in the day, smells pretty strong, but we're from the countryside anyway so didn't mind! We didn't disturb them (hopefully) and they diRead moredn't disturb us. Very private place. Be careful of pot holes on the access road! I bust a tyre. Amazing historical building. Nice friendly host.
