Ideal cottage felt like home took a couple of days to work out best route to and from but like the rest of Cornwall little country lanes. Overall i would rebook and stay in same cottage again.
Lovely cottage in a very quiet location, with all the amenities that you would want...kitchen was very well stocked with lots of utensils and crockery /cutlery but was missing a pair of oven gloves (minor detail). The costal path walks were close by but quite strenuous to get up on to, but worth the effort. The little beach at Millendreath with it's beach bar is only a few minutes walk away and the Black Rock beach cafe has just reopened whilst we were there after being closed for some time. It may be worth mentioning in the advert for the cottage that the steps from the car parking space are quite steep, as are the decking steps to the upper decking in the rear garden, so not for the disabled?
We all loved Rosemary Cottage, beds very comfortable, great terrace for sunbathing, good WiFi signal so kids happy! Would happily stay again and recommend to friends and family.
