| Previous Visitors' Comments | Lovely cottage, owner friendly and welcoming.
Mr & Mrs Stuttard, Skipton, North Yorkshire
Aug 2008 | Very comfortable accommodation with a lovely welcoming tray of tea, coffee and biscuits, not to mention a bottle of wine.
Mrs Forbes, Carterton, Oxfordshire
Oct 2007 | The cottage was lovely, well-equipped and immaculate. The outlook was very pleasant, over the meadow to the paddock where horses grazed. The owner Mrs. Hutchinson greeted us personally, and there was a welcoming plate of biscuits, tea, coffee, milk in the fridge and a bottle of wine - all very much appreciated after a long drive from North Yorkshire. I would be happy to recommend this cottage to anyone. The inland position was ideal for driving to either coast, and there was good shopping for necessities in nearby Liskeard.
Mrs Foreman, York, North Yorkshire
Jul 2007 | The cottage was very welcoming with a tray of tea things and a large plate of biscuits and a bottle of wine. The cottage owner was extremely friendly but not intrusive.
Highly recommended!
