We had the pleasure of a wonderful welcome pack, much needed after a long journey from Kent. The property was well maintained and very clean. Very centrally situated for visiting the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Duchy Garden Centre etc. Our host was friendly and readily available if there were any problems. Would highly recommend.
