Beautiful cottage. Very well looked after. Lovely welcome pack. Exceptionally clean and well maintained. Good to have some outdoor space and we utilised the bbq a couple of nights. Nicely located so that you can get to either coastline in good time.

The Barn was clean and comfortable and in an ideal location for exploring East Cornwall and West Devon. Despite extremely wet weather conditions every day, we visited many National Trust and English Heritage properties. We highly recommend Tintagel, Lanhydrock, Lydford Gorge and the RHS gardens at Rosemoor. Everyone enjoyed their holiday.

This holiday cottage was fabulous. One of the first things I'm going to mention is that we all slept so well there. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious as was the main living area. The cottage provided everything we needed and was a great base to plan our day trips out. A bonus also to have parking outside. This was our first holiday in CornRead morewall and we found travelling to various places a doddle on the A30. Stoke Climsland, never heard of it before but would definitely go back! Hide
