The owners simply go out of their way to make your stay here as comfortable as possible. Everything is provided, from towels to dishwasher tablets, to washing machine ones too. Situated on a working farm, down country lanes yet a short distance from Eden Project, Mevagissey, Charlestown, Pubs and Restaurants.Thank you Michael and Tash

Confirmed Guest
The reason for 4* and not 5* is that the dishwasher and aga were annoyingly erratic and would have preferred hooks on doors. However, overall very comfortable and spacious and everything we needed for our relaxing and enjoyable holiday,
