Local amenities include a charming traditional village Inn (roughly a 15 minute walk or 2 minute drive) which provides local ales & is renowned for its delicious home cooked food, using locally sourced produce․ There is an 18 hole course just a 3 minute walk away for those that enjoy a spot of golf along with a variety of amenities that are open to non-members including ten pin bowling, a bar/ Restaurant & cooked breakfast. Bodmin Moor & the famous Jamacia Inn are a 10 minute drive away from the accommodation, along with the Daphne du Maurier Museum & a farm shop․ The beautiful North coastline is around a 25 minute drive away and offers a variety of beaches, lovely coastline walks & an abundance of wildlife․ Further along this coast the picturesque fishing village of Port Issac (where the famous Doc Martin series was filmed) can also be found along with the harbour of Padstow where visitors love to sample Rick Steins Fish & chips etc․ The unspoilt harbour village of Boscastle & the spectacular historic site of Tintagel Castle also lay along this coast. In the other direction you can go across the border into Devon to the ancient Stanary town of Tavistock which lies just on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park (This again from the accommodation is approximately a 25minutes drive)․ Tavistock is heaped in history & boasts a variety of individual shops/market selling local produce, local art and crafts․ Just outside the town is the beautiful rolling landscape of Dartmoor known for its outstanding beauty /Dartmoor ponies & the notorious Dartmoor Prison.

The owners, Kevin and Michele who live next door, are very friendly and made us most welcome. Not that easy to find so need to pay close attention to the directions provided. We would recommend 100%.

Good parking with a nice accessible garden. The kitchen is extremely well appointed as is the shower room. A lovely comfortable bed. Close to the A30 which makes visiting various attractions and beaches/countryside easily accessible. We cannot fault this lovely property and would recommend to any couple looking for a relaxing comfortable property to stay. The owners are really pleasant and approachable and have a good eye for detail. An extremely clean and warm property.

The only negative aspect, we felt, was the slightly damp smelling bathroom, maybe due to limited ventilation and the shower cubicle not entirely containing the water and soaking the mat. The gas oven was a little tricky to use the first time. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying here if we came back to this area in the future.
