The cottage itself is great (although very tiny) but I think more emphasis needs to be placed on how isolated it is and how narrow the roads are to access it. Anyone with a larger car would struggle to manoeuvre the roads and the parking available.

2nd visit to this cottage and still love it! It's in such a peaceful location all you can hear is birdsong. The cottage has everything you would need and the addition of an indoor pool!Couldn't ask for more and we'll likely return for a 3rd time in the future.Bodmin, Padstow, port issac and Polzeath Beach are all close by and we ventured to the Minack Theatre and St. Michaels on the Mount too, both about an hour and a half away but worth the visit.Camel trail just 300yard down the hill too, so there's plenty to do!
