Parking was a bit of a challenge pulling into the driveway, but generally a great location. Also so nice to have comfy beds! Thank you for a lovely stay. Haha - also my adult daughter got stuck in the downstairs loo - the catch might need looking at.

Comfortable all round. Remote area, but we love the far West of Cornwall for that reason!

We enjoyed a walk to Portheras beach, one of our favourites! House was comfortably furnished to a very high standard. Well equipped modern kitchen. Polished concrete floor in dining room perfect for doggy visitors. Tamsin was an excellent host , who responded promptly to any enquiries. Would definitely recommend!
