There is a great beach at Perranuthnoe, which also has a couple of cafes. The Cabin does eat in and take away drinks and food, their bacon sandwich is delicious. The bacon we had was good quality, not the paper thin supermarket variety! Parking is directly outside the cottage which is all on one level, ideal for people with restricted mobility. Dawn and Ian are a lovely couple, and are on hand to help and offer advice without being intrusive. A lovely place to have a restful stay, with genuinely kind , hard working hosts.

Comfortable accommodation with everything we needed. No cheese grater but not everyone will need one! Lovely walks across fields just down the road, ideal for morning exercise with dog. Co-op nearby and the Coach & Horses serves lovely food, dog friendly & nice staff. Also fish'n'chips at KCs down the road are delicious. Had a very nice week, thank you Dawn & Ian.
