. could not fault it. It had everything we needed. Lovely to find tea bags sugar milk and Cornish cookies on our arrival. Great having a garden. Would definitely recommend.

It was extremely clean, comfortable and with many lovely little extra touches that were so special. The ice machine helped to keep our drinks chilled and the log burner helped us to stay cosy on milder evenings. Our sons had a wonderful time crabbing in the harbour and Polstreath Beach was just a short walk away - our favourite beach of all! We hope to return to this wonderful abode.
