Lovely place to stay. Quiet village, spacious property and close to supermarkets. We used as a base to visit places of interest, it was easy to get onto the A30. Lovely pub just up the road Would definitely stay in this property again.

Brilliant
The property was nice, and well located, walking distance to the beach, and a drive away from St Michael’s Mount and St Ives. It was a comfortable stay, all was provided, and the kitchen came in useful. Books about Penzance were interesting to read. The area was interesting to explore. Thank you so much for our stay!

Great location
The house is in a great location for exploring the local area. Nice open planning living and patio area. It is quite bizarre that there are 3 bedrooms and no wardrobes in any of them. The beds could also benefit from headboards and caster holders. The property was well equipped but would benefit from a deeper clean. The church bells were lovely but not every hour through the night. However overall we had a lovely week.
