Lovely stay in rambling farmhouse

We loved our stay here. Mark and Kat were responsive and thoughtful hosts (a lovely cream tea welcomed us on arrival). The house had plenty of space for our large group. We liked the private and green location. And we were welcomed everytime we got back to the house by three super friendly dogs who we well in love with! Couple of things to note - some of the mattresses are softer rather than firmer - and showers are mostly of the electric heater variety so not super powerful - if these are important considerations for you. But if are looking for a characterful Cornish stay in lovely surroundings then this would be a great option!
Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024
