Lovely quiet location. Wasn’t the cleanest cottage we have stayed at but was perfectly adequate. Could do with a little TLC inside and out. Good location for exploring this part of Cornwall

Great place. Only a short walk (acros the road) to Bodigga Cliffs and coastal path walk. We thought it was underpriced and nearly didn't book it, but glad we did. We would have paid more, at least 10%. The owner and Hazel (on-site go to person) were very nice and helpful. Central heating worked well. All appliances you need, if anything was needed, it was found for you. Great service. Would recommend to anyone.
