Anna
It was our first holiday with our 7 week old baby so wanted somewhere quiet but easily accessible to lots of walks. The cottage is equipped with everything you will need during your stay and the small touches like crumble and milk given to us on arrival really made it special. The farm and animals were amazing, stripe the dog was so friendly and our dog loved her! It really felt homely and we settled in straight away. It was so nice to be surrounded by nature and have peace and quiet.. with a moo in the background!

Being situated on a farm made the well even more memorable, especially for our son who relished the opportunity to help feed the calves, see some kittens and ride a tractor. The location is great and you arenât far from any stunning coves, beaches or small fishing villages on the Lizard. The cottage itself was cosy and homely, with everything we needed, including a crumble, cream and milk on arrival. We were all sad for the week to come to an end.

Comfortable accommodation with 3 bedrooms : all facilities inc dishwasher, heating and washing machine included. We stayed in may and had to use heating. Lovely welcome gift (crumble and milk and butter) provided by Jacky. Very good contact with Jacky. We do enjoy period properties so loved all character! Being able to see little calfs and talk to farmers was additional bonus. Kids loved it. Game room was great too although a bit dated. Good to follow Jacky instructions as sat nav is taking via very narrow lanes.
