Sink into one of the sofas and tune into the TV resting on the solid wood coffee table. There is a bright and airy feel throughout elevated by a neutral colour scheme and thoughtful arrangement of some hand crafted furnishings. You can rustle up a tasty meal in the modern kitchen and gather around the dining table to chat about the adventures you've had so far, or forget the cooking and discover one of the recommended local pubs/restaurants. Sit and relax in the refreshing Cornish air of the surrounding countryside on the south facing patio which is ideal for a drink or two.

. only one storage heater that hardly pushes out any heat is not adequate. Fortunately 2 oil heaterâs and an electric heater was there and we had to use to keep us warm.. first thing in the morning was freezing and had to wait for the oil heaters to initially give us some warmth, plus put the oven on with the door open to help heat up the roomâ¦other than that all good
