The community features a Post Office and a classic bar from the 17th century that serves delicious food.

Christine
The cottage was beautiful and clean and the farm itself was a perfect setting for us. The views were great and the added benefit of a small children's play area was much appreciated by our youngest 2! The cottage was lovely and clean and had lots of facilities (everything we would need). There was even a lovely welcome gift in the fridge when we arrived of milk, fresh eggs, scones, jam and cream! For us it was perfectly located for us to travel to the places in Cornwall that we wanted to visit. We would absolutely book to come back and stay here again! Thank you for a fabulous holiday!
