What a superb location for exploring all of Cornwall, and what lovely hosts. It was just as described, we were welcomed and left to it for the week- but in the knowledge Arron and Louise were close at hand if needed, they have it spot on, we wouldn’t change a thing! A big thank-you, and whilst we would like to go back and don’t want to find it overbooked, we have to say we recommend it highly!

Absolutely beautiful lodge in a beautiful location yet close to all amenities. Clean, well maintained and fully equipped. A little gem.

This was a very clean and comfortable cottage to stay in. It was a shame that contractors had to be close by for most of the week replacing the roof of the owners garage, but that was just one of those things. And, we loved the pigs.
