Good facilities. Not too far to walk to nearest pub. Given the wet weather when we were staying there was an absence of places to hang damp coats etc etc

The house had everything you need for self catering. Quiet countryside location with lovely gardens. Great location for travelling around Cornwall. Host Roger was very helpful and polite. Would highly recommend.
