Ideal to be so close to the beach especially with a couple of dogs and it is so nice not to have to get in the car every time you need to go anywhere.And plenty of longer walks on the coast path and Tehidy Woods.A couple of nice pubs and a cafe in the village and fortunately no touristy shops. Surfing for the youngsters too.The conservatory area was great for drying dogs & footwear, the only downside being the poor drainage of the hardstanding outside. Also, the garage is only big enough for a small car.
