Great location for walks/beaches. I did notice that the Ivy growing on the wall outside the front of the house has started to work its way through the brickwork into the lounge under the windowsill. Front door lock can stick when trying to unlock from the inside. Otherwise perfect stay thank you.

There was everything we needed, but we have stayed in more well appointed cottages for less money than we paid here. Overall good cottage in an exceptional village, with good access to the wonders of Cornwall.
