The Cottages is in a beautiful tranquil location with wonderful views acros the fields. It was in a remote location down a farm track, which was exactly what we wanted. Porthleven, a 15 minute drive away, is a gorgeous little place with a beach, harbour, shops, pubs and eateries. And St Ives, Heston and St Michael's Mount were very conveniently located to the Cottages. The Cottages had very good facilities with plenty of space. It was spotlesly clean with very nice decor. Best of all was the log burner, which was cosy to use in November. We would love to visit again at a different time of year to enjoy The Cottages again.

The stables is a lovely place, a bit out the way and down an unkept driveway. However it needs a good clean, there were black cobwebs hanging from the roof, the rafters under wall cabinets and from the lamps.There was a big gap around the Stable door, a creaking bed and a large wall clock that did not work. The oven did not work either but was replaced next day after reporting it. There was no evidence that any of the electrical equipment had been safety tested.It's a shame, because with a bit of effort it could be a lovely place to stay.
