Castaways is a definite return to property, its really well situated to visit north Cornwall and beyond. Its a very clean, comfortable and well equipped place, thats a quick stroll away from the village amenities.

We stayed at Castaways Sept 2023 .. one week /four adults. Great location to explore Cornwall. Booking and stay arrangements very easy. Castaways was excellent. Tucked away in very quiet area. The house was spotlessly clean and very spacious. Garden areas lovely ,,, private and not overlooked at all. Plenty of room for a dog and children to runRead more around. Beds very comfortable. Bed linen and towels excellent. Plenty of room. Upstairs bathroom big with large walk-in shower and bath. 2nd toilet downstairs. The kitchen was very spacious and had everything you could possibly need. All in great condition. Lounge and Conservatory area lovely. table tennis great fun. The driveway has room for one care but there is plenty of off road parking by Castaway. There was nothing we could fault and We definitely plan to stay again. 10/10 Hide

We absolutely loved staying at Castaways, we would highly recommend it. With 3 young children, we couldnt have asked for a more child/family friendly place to stay - just brilliant.
