Comfortable, very well equipped and beautifully presented. Walks on the doorstep and lots of places to visit and a great pub very close by. Hope to be back soon.

The owners have thought of everything and the property was spotlessly clean. Devoran is an ideal location for a Cornish vacation. Also Armando is just short walk to Devoran quay (lovely views) and the local pub! , ,

A real home from home. Very dog friendly and the dog bed in the window for our family security consultant was a very welcome addition. The local walks were wonderful and the river views and the sounds of the birds every morning were very relaxing. Really can't praise this place highly enough. If you want somewhere with a peaceful location and a lovely pub but close to the main road for easy access to everywhere then this is the cottage for you.
