Just got back from a lovely week at the haven. The cottage is in a good location to reach local places by car. We loved the garden which is perfect for families like ours with children as really large and enclosed. There is a badminton net and lots of garden toys. (Save space and don’t take your own!). The cottage itself was very clean for our visit, beds are comfy, showers are great, everything you would want. The owners live next door and are very helpful should you need anything but let you get on with your stay. Overall would highly recommend for families

We had such a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage in Cornwall. The cottage was extremely well equipped with everything we could possibly need, making it feel comfortable and welcoming from the moment we arrived.The garden was a real highlight — large, beautifully kept, and such a peaceful place to relax with a morning coffee or unwind in the evening after a day out exploring.The location was perfect for exploring Cornwall, being central to so many places and attractions, while still feeling slightly tucked away and wonderfully quiet. It was the ideal balance between convenience and tranquillity.The owners were absolutely lovely — warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful, which made the stay feel even more special.We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing Cornish escape.
