The owners are lovely and super helpful. Arriving to find a home made Cornish cream tea was a delight - and blooming delicious. Ideal location for a quiet retreat, we particularly enjoyed the pigs lounging around which you can see from the garden, and the variety of birds that visited the bird feeder which can be enjoyed from the cottage or sitting in the garden. Highly recommend a visit if you enjoy animals and nature.
