We had such a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage in Cornwall. The cottage was extremely well equipped with everything we could possibly need, making it feel comfortable and welcoming from the moment we arrived.The garden was a real highlight — large, beautifully kept, and such a peaceful place to relax with a morning coffee or unwind in the evening after a day out exploring.The location was perfect for exploring Cornwall, being central to so many places and attractions, while still feeling slightly tucked away and wonderfully quiet. It was the ideal balance between convenience and tranquillity.The owners were absolutely lovely — warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful, which made the stay feel even more special.We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing Cornish escape.

We had a great stay at The Haven, the house was very spacious for the four of us, clean and well equipped. The garden was lovely, and beds comfortable. Pauline (one of the owners) was very welcoming and we'd love to go back sometime.The location was great for visiting various places without too long a drive, and there is an an abundance of beaches to choose from within easy reach.
