Our 4th stay at this property and hopefully not our last. Clean and well equipped. Perfect for getting away from it all. The cottage is located in a quiet village so if you want pubs and shops on your doorstep this is probably not for you. Located approximately 30 minutes from the coast we found this perfect for exploring the north Cornwall coastline.

Lovely few days away, Cottage in middle of nowhere, so if you like driving down country roads you'll be fine. Loved the upside down layout. Bed not the comfiest I've slept in. Bathroom Lovely and clean. Kitchen fully equipped with items you need to cook whilst away.Would we book again? Yes without a doubt!

What a brilliant place to stay, particularly if you have dogs! The grounds around the stable conversion are really nicely kept... and then there's the huge field leading down to a large natural pond, teeming with wild life, which has wide swathes cut through. It also has a summer house you can use whilst the dogs exercise themselves in the well-fenced field!The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. The accommodation is perfect for dog owners too... stone floors downstairs with rugs and wooden, rugged floors upstairs. Everywhere was really comfortable but not so precious that you couldn't relax.All in all, we would happily recommend this lovely place for a relaxing break. It should be noted that it is also ideal for easy access for both the north and south coast of Cornwall. We spent a day at the Eden Project... mostly (except the Biodomes) dog friendly... near St. Austell, A brilliant few hours in a beautiful and informative location... so please consider that as a destination!
