The heated pool was the thing that led me to book this property and I used it every day. It is purpose built with accommodation attached, just behind the owners house. The accommodation was quite small but as I was on my own it was fine. It was well equipped, with good wi-fi and a comfy bed. The village pub was within easy walking distance and served good food. The property is well situated to explore the St Austell/Fowey side of Cornwall and only a 15 minute drive to The Eden Centre.

Lovely stay at pool house. Small but comfortable and cosy, ideal for couples wanting a relaxing holiday. Dog friendly. Nice to have the sole use of the good sized pool every day. Within walking distance of beach and train station 10 mins away with access to many other places in Cornwall. Very welcoming pub in village, great meals and Dog friendly. Great village butchers and grocery store. The owner Donna was only a phone call away if anything was needed. Only downside was internet connection was not great.
