We absolutely love this accommodation and it has been our third time of booking. I love the location, being close to Padstow, but set in a very quiet and secure holiday village. All amenities within the cottage have been thought through and provided. It is a real home from home for me and the perfect base to explore all that Cornwall offers. We will be booking again. Thank you to the wonderful hosts Gillian and Paul for offering this lovely accommodation and maintaining excellent communication when needed.
