"Great accommodation for my Wife and I and our dog. Text from the hosts letting us know when it was ready a bit earlier was a very nice touch. Very clean and tidy with all the equipment needed for our short stay. Lovely views of the area and a great location for exploring. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area rather than the impersonal stay of a hotel."

"This property is a perfect bolt hole for anyone looking to explore the south west tip of Cornwall. It’s just 20 or so minutes from the train and main bus station. The house is well equipped with leaving you everything you’d need for a trip away. The kitchen has all the tools you could want and there’s even two sitting rooms with TV’s in them. The three bedrooms all have double beds. We did have an issue but the owner was very proactive and sorted it without fuss. Often you don’t know how well...

"We had the luxury room for a few days early October 2026. Close to where we wanted to be about an hrs walk to St Michaels Mount. Parking is easy here and designated spaces exist for patrons. Room was very nice. Spacious if your staying a few days to spread out with en suite shower/toilet. Hanging space only/no wardrobes. Breakfast was very nice and cooked to order. In general the pub is excellent for food in the local area and considered one of the top three to eat at. Short dinner menu but chef changes this frequently. Overall well worth the money paid. Would choose again if visiting this area."
