What a view
We had a wonderful stay in Upper Tresulian. The Kitchen had everything we needed, the Bedrooms were big enough, with a wonderful view from the Main Bedroom. The view from the Livingroom was just perfect. We loved to sitting there and watched the Ships passing by.
There was a little bit of Noise, when Windows oder Doors are closed in the Apartment below.
We had no Problems with the Steps up to the Apartment and it was a good Exercise to walk down to the Beach, Restaurants or Shops. The Street to the Apartment is very narrow, so it could be a little bit scary to drive there. The Owners are next door, very friendly and have two little dogs. We would certainly come back, if we plan to travel again to St.Mawes.
