The Platt is a well equipped, cosy, comfortable and peaceful holiday home. We had a wonderful week exploring the area and enjoying the tranquility of the house and the surrounding gardens (the rabbits were entrancing!). The little treats that Helen and Stuart left for our arrival were a lovely touch as were the fresh flowers. We had a superb meal in The Springer Spaniel and would recommend it. 5/5 for the whole experience.

We had the most wonderful week at The Platt. We had all we needed for a comfortable stay. Our little dog made herself at home in the garden, and so did we! The fabulous weather was a bonus, and we enjoyed breakfast and evening drinks on the balcony. The Springer Spaniel, the local dog friendly pub, is within reasonable walking distance. The food there was consistently good, and so was the service.The coast can be reached within 35 to 55 minutes drive, so you can explore various beaches, harbours and even a Gorge (Lydford).The welcome gifts from the owners made our arrival special, and the secluded location of the property enabled a very peaceful and relaxing stay, which is exactly what we were hoping for!The Platt is truly a hidden gem!
