This property had absolutely everything we needed with our 2 labradors in a wonderful location. It had brilliant access to many lovely coastal walks and was a comfortable delight to come home to. There was also a very kind welcoming pack of goodies, thankyou, and we have already booked it again. The only addition I can think of making would be a few storage containers for Coffee, sugar, biscuits etc

What a lovely place to have a base. Cosy, well equipped and easy to get to places. Cape Cornwall is a must to walk, stunning views. Owners only next door if you need anything, but what was to need it was all there.Thank you
