An ideal, tranquil base for a lone traveller or couple to explore Cornwall. This was our sixth trip to this property and we hope to be able to return.

Shirley and Chris were admirable hosts. We only had to mention that my wife was worried about slipping in the shower than Shirley said she would get a non-slip mat ASAP. And it was delivered within 24 hours. We could not have asked for more and, small matter that it may appear to be, it made our holiday much more comfortable and relaxed. Overall, an excellent property.
