A lovely spacious cottage and well equipped, in a very quiet and peaceful country location. A nice large garden and a very nice welcome pack greeted us on arrival. We enjoyed our visit very much and the location is reasonably accessible to the North Cornwall coastline.

Somerdale is a lovely, cozy and comfortable cottage set in peaceful surroundings with beautiful views. The cottage was very clean and very well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Everything was provided for, for example hand wash, washing up liquid, toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, washing machine capsules, kitchen roll etc, we did not need to buy anything apart from some extra toilet rolls. The beds and sofa’s are very comfortable and the linen and towels are of good quality. The welcome pack was generous, consisting of scones, jam, clotted cream and a lemon drizzle cake which was very much appreciated and enjoyed by us all. Tea, coffee, sugar, milk and bread was also provided and again very much appreciated. We did not meet the owners but I spoke to Lyn prior to our arrival and she was very friendly and helpful and a pleasure to talk to. We had a wonderful holiday and we would certainly stay again at Somerdale. We highly recommend. 5*
