Delightful accommodation. Spotlessly clean and well equipped, including a lovely fan for the hot weather. Made for a perfect base to explore the local area. Owners live on site and are friendly but not at all intrusive. Beautiful gardens to take a wander in and nice private shaded decking area. Parking is by the accommodation making for easy coming and going. As a solo traveller I felt very safe here. Access is via some quite narrow lanes, so you go need to drive carefully but it was a lovely place to return to after a day exploring. There is a train line at the back of the garden but after the first few trains you start to not notice them, strange but true! I would recommend this accommodation if you want to visit this area of Cornwall and I would stay again.
