Fantastic views, amazing house so well layed out with everything you could ever need. The quality of everything was second to none. Yes it is a climb up to the house but this is Cornwall and most villages this old are like this but dont be put off by that the views from most angles of the house are worth that climb. We had a very enjoyable holiday and would certainly come back to Postcard Lodge. Thanks also to Adrian our host who was very helpful throughout our stay

The thought of going out and climbing back up the hills put us off going out sometime.Also not really suitable for young children because of stairs to kitchen.We still spent lovely time in Hot Tub and went to Fowey a few times.
