Super staying a lovely, tranquil comfortable and well equipped cottage. It has been thoughtfully laid out and worked for us brilliantly meeting needs of kids, grandparents parents and dog. The outside area was lovely for sitting out, and lovely quiet and secluded. We enjoyed exploring along the camel trail to Padstow - the bike shed was really hanRead moredy. And both north and south coast attractions are all in easy reach. A great base and lovely place to chill out. Recommended! Hide

It really is all about the location. A beautiful walk to the camel trail tea garden and easy access to either coast makes this property a perfect choice. Warm and welcoming with everything you could need for a great holiday. Leave the door open at night and listen to the peace and quiet. It will only be disturbed by bird song or the babbling river Read morenearby. We loved it ! Hide
