We loved our stay here. The house is gorgeous with stunning views over the sea. Comfortable beds, good kitchen, there is a huge TV - which our son thought was great! The location is ideal, just a short walk to everything that Cawsands and Kingsands has to offer.

Historic house in a historically interesting location.
A very enjoyable stay in a comfortable house.
The house was cold when we arrived, could have been set to be warmer and thus more welcoming.

A memorable Christmas in Cornwall
Superb location in centre of the village. Gorgeous sea view from lounge and master bedroom window. There was a bitterly cold wind outside but the temperature inside was warm and cosy due to the fully functioning heating system. Our memorable stay over Christmas in Cornwall was made extra special with the Christmas tree and seasonal decorations - Thank you

Thank you!
The property is in a brilliant position. Easy walking distance for pubs with great food. We were 4 ladies with a room each. We used the shower on the first and second floor. Spacious lounge with big tv. We only stayed in once thanks for a great stay.
