Lovely little cottage and Lynda and Shaun very friendly and helpful. The wifi works well, the log burner was very cosy in the evenings, overall a great week away. Only a few mins by car to Penzance and the choice of a Tesco, Sainsburys and Morrisons.

An absolute 5star plus cottage in peaceful countryside with amazing hosts next door who keep a beautifully clean, charming and well equipped place. They suggested where to eat, visit - and swim! and supplied extra wood for the woodburner. All you can hear are owls at night - no traffic, no light pollution.. a glorious holiday hideaway..
