We had a lovely chistmas in a very pictureque location. Plenty to do in the local area would reccomend Bens Plaice for fish and chips just outside Looe. The cottage was very warm and comfy,although would suggest a 3 seater more upright sofa as my wife found it difficult to get up from. Would return in the summer period.

Beautiful and unusual little barn conversion in a gorgeous garden setting. The location is peaceful and rural but less than 10 minutes from the A38, 20 minutes from Saltash and 25 minutes from Cotehele NT. The only thing I would suggest is to provide cotton bed linens instead of polyester.
