Angela
Good location for days out, we visited beaches, St Nectans Glen, Eden project and Bodmin moor. A quiet location. Very clean. Beds were pretty comfy. Only downside was that the person in the downstairs bedroom complained of a lot of noise when it was windy at night, appeared to be wind against or going through the wooden side, noise wasnât heard upstairs but prevented the person downstairs from sleeping. One word of warning regarding parking, I feel the listing should say parking for 2 small cars, we were fine as we had 2 Toyota Yarisâs but if 1 car had been slightly bigger we wouldnât have been able to park the second.

The cottage is lovely and well situated for the local beaches and had all the facilities that we needed. The children also liked having their own rooms!
