Another fabulous stay at the cottage, a real home from home. I loved it and the dogs did too. Great to be able to safely let the dogs out first thing in the morning knowing they are safe. I failed again to do the walk to Tehidy Park but hopefully will on my next visit! Lots of nearby beaches so they won this time. The hosts are great, very friendlyRead more and helpful. Hide

Very impressed with the accommodation. Enclosed backyard which is private and great to sit out in the evening. The kitchen had everything you need. Great location, a mile or so from the A30. There's a lovely walk from the farm to the Tehidy country park. There's a very good Indian takeaway close by.
