The house had everything you need for self catering. Quiet countryside location with lovely gardens. Great location for travelling around Cornwall. Host Roger was very helpful and polite. Would highly recommend.

Roger has a wonderful place, as a woman travelling alone, this Haven made me feel safe. I didnât even lock the door! Itâs great I could get to so many places from here - all the ideas and instructions left by the owner were invaluable. It was lovely to have a list of interesting places. So good to know where I could walk the dog. Amongst my favourites were Hollywell Bay in the evening âthe lost Gardens of Heliganâ. I loved St. Agnes Head. Amazing views. Whilst looking for the village Blisland which by the way is a beauty. I came across another fabulous place Cardinham woods. It had lots of different trails a café and car parking so easy. Oh goodness, too many to mention. Its wonderful part of the world thank you for letting me share your home. I have had a super time. The treat of scones and Cornwall cream after a long drive was the icing on the cake. What a welcome. Super comfy place loved it!!!
