This was one of the best stays: extremely friendly and helpful hosts (even took care of our doggy for a day), beautiful cottage with all you need in pristine state and with the most wonderful surroundings. With free roaming horses, cows and sheep on all sides. Perfect for a peaceful vacation.

A lovely cottage in the World Heritage area of Bodmin Moor. We have never stayed in such a well-equipped cottage, complete with comfy sofas and beds. The location in Minions, with useful shop and very good Tea Room, is a great base for walks in every direction and trips to the coast at Looe/Polperro. Michelle was on hand to answer our questions and we really benefitted from the peaceful location.
