Visiting many local places and also went to Port Issac. Many gardens and national trust places seen as well. Property was very spacious and dogs enjoyed it . The only thing was the field opposite was really unsuitable for the dogs and us to walk through. The old chapel had everything we needed. Host was great.

The area offers stunningly beautiful walks and views that are trully breath talking to behold. It's close to Fowey harbour where for a small fee you can enjoy a short ferry ride over to the harbour town is is utterly beautiful, with cute little boutique shops and lots of eateries to dine at. Our host Chris was more than helpful and make our stay as welcoming as possible. This property has history and beauty and if the walls to speak we would be enthralled, I'm sure with the stories it would have to tell. We spent our evenings by the log fire playing board games and watching films from the great selections provided. I was there with a elderly family member so we didn't cover all of the other things to do around that part of Cornwall but still we had a memorable time. perfect place for a family get away I wish it was longer.
