The property was super clean and very well-appointed, with everything our little family needed to be comfy for the 2 weeks. We had what we needed to cook, clean and look after ourselves like a proper home from home. Camelford is a great location - close to Polzeath, Boscastle, Tintagel etc but not as touristy or jam-packed in July/August. Would stay again.
