Claire
Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings. We stayed for the weekend as we were attending the Mevagisey Shanty Festival so it was a great location as it was les than ten minutes by car. Matthew was very friendly, helpful and accommodating and the cottage was stocked with the esentials. We would definitely recommend.

My wife and I were really pleased and happy with everything about the Nook; the cleanliness, equipment etc. were extremely good and the little extras (the scones, Cornish cream with jam and more) just made us feel even more at home.The hosts could not have been more helpful and we would have no reservations in recommending the Nook.
