The site was well maintained and clean. The owner provided tea, milk, coffe and biscuits which were very welcome after our journey. There are plenty of places to visit in the area. We found Cornwall to be a interesting county to visit.

Apart from that the chalet was spotless. Directions to the site were not very clear, especially for someone who doesn't know the County and the Cornish roads, which are not well signposted nor numbered. It all added to the holiday ambience. A delightful stay which we would like to repeat.
