A fabulous location with a view of the harbour.
A fabulous location with a view of the harbour. A quick walk from the village and a great base for exploring Cornwall, though driving through the village itself is a bit tricky. The bed was very comfortable - nice and firm. From the pictures, we were expecting a bath but there wasn't one; however, the shower was superb! Everything we needed was included. We had a great week.
