Roger was a lovey host who met us on arrival and showed us around. The apartment had everyting you needed for a short stay. Parking just outside the door. Beautiful view from bay window. Lovely and quiet for a couple. Details as described in description very accurate. Ideal base for visting the local area. Can recommend Merrymoor Inn for breakfast which was a short drive. Would also recomend Bodmin jail which is a 30 min drive away.

Excellent. Warm, clean, well stocked with everything you need. Good parking. Perfect location; be warned the cliff path is very steep down to the beach - take your time. Wonderful for storm watching, star gazing, or rest.Thank you.

It was a lovely few days away, definitely will be coming back. Accommodation was cosy, quiet and comfortable. Beach access was fantastic cannot fault at all. Local amenities were mainly those on the sea front, but it did only take us 20 minute drive to a bigger supermarket. Loved every moment!
