Wheal Honey was as described. It was clean, comfortable and with super views. My only issues are personal. I would prefer a shower cubicle rather than shower over bath and firmer mattresses on the twin beds. The hosts were excellent and informative. The sole drawback was the road into the village which was narrow with potholes , but then it was Cornwall.

There was plenty of space for two couples, with great grounds out back for sunny days. The kitchen works well, and the living room is very comfortable to relax in at the end of the day. Good parking too. We will very happily come back to any of the properties on this location.
