We arrived between Christmas and New Year. The cottage was tastefully festive with further goodies waiting for us. We were lovely and warm and comfortable - a perfect place to have our short break.

I stayed over Xmas and It has everything there for you, to ensure your stay is perfect. The kitchen area has mostly everything you could want they left me some milk, a bottle of mulled wine, some lovely raspberry scones made up and put in the fridge for me on arrival, dog treats etc and put up some Xmas decorations. There were washing up cloths washing up liquid the lot all very well thought through. Pots, pans, cutlery, plates, bowls, everything you need and the cottage was immaculate and the upstairs bedroom and bathroom was also immaculate and a very comfy bed it was like sleeping on a sponge

So peaceful. Just the birdsong to wake up to. Very well equipped; beautifully clean; great location to get to all our favourite places, Padstow, Port Isaac, Harlyn and Daymer Bays; cozy and tastefully put together. Definitely a 10 out of 10 and we're planning to re-visit.
