Spacious, comfortable and really well equipped. We had a brilliant time. The kids also loved the garden space allowing them an area to play safely whilst being able to see the sheep.

Peace & quiet before exploring the wonders of Cornwall & relaxing following a strenuous day. Highly recommendable. As a non driver maybe a little arduous on the footsies but this site is second to none in my experience, everything first class. Top marks with credit. James Avenell
