    We had a really lovely week at Downhouse. The views are gorgeous and the garden was perfect for my two boys and our dogs. Walking along the neighbouring coast path provided much entertainment and quieter beaches to explore. Spectacular coastline to visit.The Cottage was very well equipped and had a lovely authentic Cornish feel.
