This cottage has great potential but was let down by several items not being available or working correctly. As everyone has said the bed upstairs is extremely comfortable. The garden and orchard was pretty but unfortunately during our weeks stay the weather was very wet on most days so unable to enjoy.

Cottage is located in a lovely peaceful part of Cornwall, the approach roads however were very challenging. The approach path from the car park to the front door was very steep and a handrail would be helpful. Disabled people would have difficulties.

The cottage is stunning! We loved our time there and would rate it 11/10 if we could. The bed was so comfortable that I didnt want to leave it. Everything we needed was available and we will definitely return. A hidden diamond in a beautiful area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lovely cottage. Great location - remote and quiet yet only a few minutes from Looe or Seaton. Very comfy bed. The garden was beautiful. Seaton beach was fabulous for the dogs. :-)
