“Basic but beautiful.”
This quaint little cottage is set in a beautiful, peaceful location ideal for exploring both north and south Cornwall. The cottage is close to the other Halgabron cottages but it still feels private. Robin (the owner) gives you a warm welcome and is a mine of information on the local area. You can access the stunning St Nectan's Glen via a right of way through the garden and Tintagel is a very short drive away.
The cottage had everything we needed but it may be worth noting for others that if you are looking for somewhere modern and super clean, this place may not be for you. Furthermore the fridge has no freezer compartment, no bath towels are supplied and the free WiFi has a very poor signal and we could not connect at all. Additionally the sofa bed is very stiff to pull back up and i was unable to do it single-handedly. Having said that, the bed is amazingly comfortable and the bedding was lovely and fresh.
During our stay, the cottage was host to a great many spiders (not surprising given the time of year) and insects which did not bother me at all but I think it is important to mention as part of a review for those who have a real fear.
I really enjoyed my stay in this delightful little cottage which despite its size, still felt open and airy thanks to there being lots of windows, the largest of which looks out to the patio and a pretty buddleia which was flowering when we were there and was covered in butterflies.Just lovely.
