Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently described the property as clean and well-kept, with only a few minor comments about stains on carpets due to pet-friendliness. The high level of cleanliness contributed positively to their overall experience.
While guests mentioned the property's good location and proximity to local pubs and amenities, there were not enough specific details to accurately assess the location in relation to attractions or convenience for travel around Cornwall.
The comfort of the beds and sofas was highlighted, and the property was generally found to be spacious and accommodating. However, the lack of a second bathroom and an in-house washing machine were noted as minor drawbacks.
The property is well-equipped, but some guests reported issues with kitchen appliances and door locks. The presence of a new shower room was appreciated, but suggestions for additional kitchenware and storage indicate room for improvement.
The welcome package with bread, milk, and biscuits was a delightful touch, appreciated by guests. However, as such gestures are not guaranteed for every stay, future guests should be aware that this is a kind gesture that may not always be provided.

The accommodation was comfortable and clean, it looks like the photos. We had everything we needed. It was close enough to most of Cornwall that everything was within a reasonable driving distance. We had our dogs with us and they we considered in the equipment available, water bowl and blankets. There is a good dog walk in Roche at the cricket ground if taking dogs and they need a run off lead. Thank you, we'll be back for another visit!

Overall though, we enjoyed our stay, and felt that the property was well equipped, (maybe some wooden spoons and a larger saucepan would be a great addition) the beds were comfortable, and property was spacious. Thank you for coffee, tea, milk and biscuits, we were very pleased to be able to have a cup of tea on arrival before unpacking. Definitely recommend!
