Fabulous dog friendly accommodation. Clean with easy access to the 5 beaches in north Cornwall. On site dining which is dog friendly. Secure garden which is grassed with a bench and seats. Ideal location.

The peoperty is in a great location, check in and check out were completely hassle free. The property itself was rwally clean, comfortable and had absolutely everything you need. The washing machine was a godsend for a beach location like Cornwall. Would definitely recommend, especially for families with small children.

House was nice, great to come back too after the beach.
The site it’s on hasn’t been at its best since maybe the 1980s but the actual close the house was on was nice.

The property was great for us. The only downside is that the mattresses in the single beds and sofa bed were terrible.

Has everything you need
Second time staying here. Nice quiet location but close to all the towns of Cornwall. My only little moan would be to have a king size rather than double bed in the main bedroom. Great facilities

Great value. Good location.
Such great value just outside a fab village a short way to beaches and Padstow. Very clean and fresh with small garden. The lack of a coffee maker / plunger a bit annoying and only just enough plates etc. otherwise great.

The property was exactly what we were looking for and definitely would us the property again. It was clean, modern and had very good facilities I.e washer/dryer and iron with ironing board. The only improvement I would make is update the arrival booklet as some information was OoD for example the shop is now closed permanently.
