June, 2024Verified Fantastically appointed accomodation in a peacful location. Well equiped, spottlessly clean with lots of nice touches. The location was great for us, peacful but only 10-15mins to Hayle, Marazion, Porthleven etc. Liz was a great host, welcoming with lots of local knowledge. Our dog loved it too, and one of the few places we have stayed that is truely 'dog friendly'.Posted on Ian & Caroline10.

June, 2024Verified My family and I absolutely loved our stay here. The accommodation was immaculate, modern, had all the essentials and extras you could wish for and was such a treat to celebrate my wife's birthday. Elizabeth and her family were so accommodating of us and took the time to show my children the farm animals and made us feel so at home. I can't recommend this enough to anyone, particularly those looking to get away as a family. The location is really central to lots of attractions but secluded enough that it allows you to escape and relax.
