Had an amazing Holiday staying at High View! Would highly recommend. Very high standards of cleanliness, bed super comfy, fully equipped cottage with all that you need for us and the dog. Ten mins walk to the local pub that serves top notch meals. Twenty minutes drive to the nearest beach, driving through Bodmin moor with horses and sheep next to you! Little bit of heaven on earth and good for the soul! Can’t wait to return someday!
