E. comfy sofa and dining chairs, a stable coffee table. A window blind in the bathroom would also be beneficial.

The host Claire is excellent and friendly. The property is just a short way from Newquay and provided us the ability to visit many places whilst in Cornwall. The house was extremely clean and even included dog treats for our pup! There is a great field right next to the house to stretch out all of our legs and is even included in the price! We would highly recommend the little may cottage to our friends, family and anybody looking to explore Cornwall.
