Couldn't fault it, only disappointment was the wc being downstairs so not the best if you needed it in the night.

After a 6 hour drive, to arrive to a cream tea laid out in the apartment was truly a lovely touch. One of the cleanest places we've ever stayed, they'd literally thought of everything you could need. You name it, it was there, potato peeler, sieve, cling film, foil the works. Helen even asked me what milk we drink and made sure there was a pint of semi skimmed in the fridge on arrival.. Thanks Helen. The bed and the sofa were really comfy too. The Bugle Inn is just round the corner when you need a pint and not much further up the road is the Man Foon House Chinese take away and a Fish & Chip shop, both really awesome if you get home late and need some grub. Helen and Paul are nearby if you need anything, and I must point out they're invisible hosts, meaning they're not all over you throughout your stay which again you don't get everywhere. If you need a central location that ain't to far away from from local attractions this is the one. Even if you want to push down as far as St.Ives it's only an hours drive. To surmise, all I can say is don't hesitate to book this place, but not too often coz I want to book it again myself...LOL Thanks so much Helen and Paul, we look forward to seeing you again on our next visit to Cornwall. Kindest regards ... Mark and Helen.
