The games room is disappointing though - especially on a wet week! The mini snooker table is unusable (the balls roll from one end of the table to the other without being hit!) and the table tennis table has seen better days. Some investment here would make this a better destination in wet weather. In the cottage, the fridge was very small and there was ample space for a bigger fridge which would be more suitable for a family group. Attention to detail was missing on some aspects of the cleaning (e.g. cobwebs on lampshades). However, overall, this was another lovely week, despite the weather, in a great location.

We were delighted when we arrived. Flowers on the table, tea, coffee, fresh milk in the fridge and some really yummy biscuits. Plenty of lovely soap, fresh towels and nice quality bed linen on the beds. The views were absolutely stunning as the accommodation is set within a beautiful Manor Estate. The owners are lovely and came to introduce themselves. They made us feel very welcome and my daughter loved that she could speak with the lady in several languages. The heated pool was amazing and the kids made good use of this. It's not too deep and just a nice size for the younger children to play in. There were even some pool floaties provided but we had taken our own. The gardens are kept beautiful so it really is a pleasant place to relax. We stayed in Parlour Cottage which was beautiful and very comfortable. The character of the property has not been spoiled at all. Its an old cattle barn that has been very tastefully renovated. With beautiful wooden beams and a lovely wood burning stove in the living area. We didn't need to use it as the central heating was sufficient on the one day it felt a bit cool. There was a slight fusty smell to the property but I suppose this is to be expected in property of this nature and character. I would definitely stay here again. If I had to give some development points I would say the pool table in the fab games room needs replacing. Give this place a go, it's well worth it.

It was a little musty and the drawers and wardrobes needed an airing. We loved how everything was thought of - pegs, really well equipt kitchen and opportunity for barbecue. The only thing that threw us was Sykes had it listed as being in Marazion but it wasnât really. This was fine but threw us off course a little. The pool was a welcome extra for our children and they made full use of it.
