The cottage was perfect little place for the 2 of us for a week. It was comfortable, well appointed & beautifully restored. We loved the fact we could recycle so much thanks to the owners well thought out recycling. The cottage was quiet and relaxing.Great for lots of walking and close to the coastal path and paths such as the Saints Way. We were also only 15 mins from Fowey.There is a great farm shop nearby open 7 days a week and a pub a 5 min walk. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and stay again.

It's a lovely cottage in a pretty village, clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The pub in the village has a great reputation unfortunately the chef was off during our stay but the local farm shop had all the supplies we needed. If you follow the parking instructions given it's not an issue to park even with a big car. We enjoyed an afternoon cuppa in the pretty garden. We didn't stray far as there was so much to do locally. Recommend the walk to Helman tor from the cottage.

Lovely quiet location, good amenities locally (meaning the pub of course!) and friendly hosts. Ideal for The Eden Project and South Cornwall villages, but also easy to get to Newquay and Padstow too. Highly recommend.
