What a fabulous large house with plenty of room for everyone. The personal touches of wine, flowers and contents for cream teas added to it. We were very lucky with the weather apart from one day. My only ask would be another clothes airer as one isn't enough. Thanks to David for keeping in touch.

We love the space and comfort that it offers (the beds are super comfy). David is always at the end of a phone if we have any issues and is so friendly and offers great local advice for places to visit or events that happen to be on. The house has been cleaned to a high standard by Daiga and Normunds and the little touches of fresh flowers and the prosecco cream tea on arrival is much appreciated. We will definitely be back - for Christmas next time!!! Thank you for a fabulous stay once again.

It was clean and well equipped and we had a very comfortable and private stay. The large lawned area was great for games, the patio area has a table tennis table and BBQ, and with Flambards on the door step the kids loved it. The welcome pack was much appreciated and it was complete with week long passes for Flambards. The communication with David was first class. The noise from RNAS Culdrose can at times be a little intruding but given that it is an operational air base and we knew that before we booked it isn't a complaint but a comment for those planning to book that may not be aware. I highly recommend Culdrose Manor and would happily stay there again.
