The Perch is a beautiful property in a tranquil location. We have stayed at the Hen House which is next door and that is just as nice! Although the bathroom in the Hen House takes some beating! The location is stunning, St Just is a short walk away, and that has many shops and eateries to choose from. There are great walks in all directions, and if you didnt want to, you could leave the car and walk or get round on the bus! The view from the Perch is also stunning. Lots of fields and St Just Church in the distance. We had plenty of rest and relaxation. The only thing that I would criticise would be the cleanliness, I think the cleaners need to up their game. It seemed to have a had a very quick flick with a hoover, there were cobwebs and spiders in all rooms, and bits on the floors. After I hoovered the spiders and webs didn't appear again for the duration we were there. Other than that I couldn't fault it. An excellent stay thank you!

We absolutely loved the cottage and was very happy with the location. It has amazing views, very peaceful and private and we would certainly visit again. There does need to be clarity on this site on the EV charging points as some have their own charger and part of the price and some are shared and use expensive apps to charge as is the case with this property but the owner was very helpful and understanding.
