Plenty of space for 6 adults and 4 kids. Excellent facilities including the table tennis table, large kitchen table, 3 large bathrooms and lovely outside space. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again.

I cannot reccommend it enough. The house itself has so much character and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Gunwalloe is a beautiful village within easy reach of so many places to visit. Situated minutes away from Church Cove, and with Poldhu Cove, Kynance Cove and Kennack Sands all nearby. Lots of brilliant places to eat - Roskillys Sunday roast was outstanding. The Halzephron Inn in Gunwalloe and Boo Koos in Helston also favourites.

The children loved the field and also watching the cows being milked. Lovely owners.
