Really comfortable cottage, it was perfect for the two of us. Parking space as well, but we didn't need to use our car much as it's 5 mins walk to the bus and train stations which have great transport links to visit all parts of Cornwall. The owners were very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed doing the Eden Project parkrun with them!
