We so enjoyed everything about this cottage, it's facilities and location. Easy parking with high security.I particularly enjoyed the antique furniture and inglenook fireplace area in which the electric stove was placed. Wonderful beamed ceilings. Though there is no seperate shower unit in the bathroom/ toilet area, it facilitates ones needs with an over head shower in the pleasant bath.There were no limitations on heating! We were so comfortable and were able to relax so easily.The dining area, also heated, was lovely.Ample sized and fully facilitated kitchen.Bedrooms had ample storage facilities with comfortable beds.The whole cottage was very clean!The owner, Suzie, couldn't have been more helpful, responding quickly to any questions, yet did not impose at any time, she was hands on and off as is advertised.Wi fi good.One simple thing that could have helped me as I am elderly was another hand rail on the left side of the staircase.Loved this cottage!

Although the property is in the midst of being sold, we enjoyed the peace and quiet of this rural location. Make sure you bring everything with you when you arrive - Toilet roll, milk etc - as there was no welcome pack/goods when we arrived.The back garden was a wildlife heaven for birds, 8 or 9 species spotted one morning whilst having breakfast. Lovely.A & D, Cornwall.
