Lovely quiet location, short walk from an excellent beach with wonderful sunsets and the nearby coast path. A good base for exploring the far end of Cornwall. Well equipped cottage, this was our second stay. We were blessed with beautiful weather and ate all our meals out in the pretty garden with wonderful butterflies fluttering around.
