Lovely cottage, very homely and well equipped, welcoming scones and cream with wine a fine beginning. Just a short way from Penzance and St Ives. Our theatre trip to the Minack Theatre was terminated due to storm but refund in the bank by the time we returned to cottage.

Enjoyable, the only drawback being purely personal discomfort on lounge seating, which was somewhat low for anyone with mobility issues
