Karen
Itâs situated in a very peaceful & quiet hamlet but only a short drive to the many beaches for walking or just admiring the beautiful views. We both felt very relaxed & recharged by the end of our stay in this beautiful part of Cornwall.

The conservatory at the front sees the sun from dawn to dusk. As it was a sunny week, thatâs where we were, or out on the patch of lawn. Thereâs a large comfortable sitting room and a small dining room which would be cosy places to be on colder darker days. The three bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom are all a good size. An easy walk down a valley footpath to the nearest beach. Lovely place to stay.
