We booked Gwel an Koos based on location and cost and it was a good choice. Although not too close, it is very easy to access the A30 dual carriageway from where you can visit any part of Cornwall. There is a large ASDA supermarket within a 5 minute drive for groceries. There are plenty of EV charging points also within a 5 minute drive. Although situated close to these amenities, Gwel an Koos is in a very quiet location. It is situated within the grounds of the owners' residence but in such a way that you hardly notice and you have the added convenience of help being close at hand if there are any problems - which there weren't. Inside, the accommodation is modern, uncluttered and very clean. The washing machine and washing line in the private garden were very useful.

Lovely little place, very clean and had everything you needed including a private garden. Bird feeder opposite front doors had lots of visitors which was an added bonus! Beautiful surroundings and a great central hub to see all the joys of Cornwall. Highly recommended.
