The cottage was just right for us and the garden a bonus - we were lucky with the weather. Wonderful hosts who were interesting to talk to and easily contactable if needed. We were delighted to find lots of free range eggs and tomatoes left for us when we arrived plus a delicious cake. We enjoyed meeting the happy looking hens and seeing where the produce was grown. We had a super stay...

Wonderful relaxing calm perfect hosts friendly kind and nothing is too much trouble
Loved our stay the cottage, the garden, enjoyed the cows over the garden wall and chickens too, it was lovely to “BE” in the countryside of Cornwall. Close enough to get to many beautiful places if wanted to leave the peacefulness of the cottage garden. The hosts were really special people who were willing to share their “Good Life” with us - including buckets and spades. Rooms were spacious all lovely, some lovely nooks and crannies and interesting books to look at too - time allowing. We will definitely be going back to enjoy more freshly grown tomatoes, cucumber, delicious blackcurrant jam and chocolate cup cakes - oh and fresh eggs from the 6 girls (chickens). Thank you so much Mo and Barbara- Sue Isabella, Diego and Siarah xxxx
