We had a brilliant stay, very spacious house for the four of us! Bathrooms and bedrooms to spare! The location was fab, a short walk down the steep hill to Port Isaac, a couple of fab pubs within 10 minutes walk. Good size garden and good WiFi! Also lots of space on the driveway. And a co-op a couple of minutes away for daily essentials.

Excellent home to stay! Perfect location and although we had some health problems during our stay it was heaven to return to this lovely home’The local Co-op was a boom to us and the farm shops were lovely as we were a little tad restricted, let’s say! So yes, we would all recommend this beautiful property for you stay, please try it!
