A lovely welcoming host who couldn't be more helpful.

Immaculately clean and well appointed cottage with beautiful views and stunning sunsets. Spacious comfortable bedrooms and large secure garden for our dog. Quiet and secluded location but easy access to the coast. Thanks for a great stay

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely holiday cottage in Bodmin.

The property was absolutely spotless upon arrival and equipped with everything we could possibly need for a comfortable, stress-free holiday. A huge highlight for us was the nice enclosed garden, which provided a safe and secure space for our dogs to run around and play without any worry. It is the perfect base for exploring Cornwall with your four-legged friends, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

One word to describe the property - immaculate!

Plenty of space for us as a family with two teens with the added bonus of the garden and patio which we enjoyed very much in the evenings. We even had a visit from a local Peahen! Great location for exploring Cornwall. Mary-Clare was the perfect host, helpful and kind but not at all intrusive. We very much enjoyed the delicious cream tea on arrival which was a lovely generous treat.
