This is an excellent base for a couple seeking a peaceful location within easy driving distance of local places of interest, such as the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Eden Project and Lanhydrock. The cottage itself is cosy, comfortable, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We appreciated the welcome bottle of wine left by the friendly owners and we enjoyed it whilst sitting in the garden in the afternoon sun. Near to the cottage is an excellent pub / restaurant within a few minutes' walk and a farm shop selling lovely local produce. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and would not hesitate to recommend or to book again.

An excellent cottage for getting away from the stress of life at the moment, due to the current restrictions a lot of items had been taken out but it was still very comfy and warm. We will be visiting again that's for sure. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

A really excellent little cottage, ideal for a couple getting away for a bit and away from the rush and bustle of everyday life. Very clean and comfortable. A stop off at the supermarket in Bodmin on the way and we were set for the week and a useful base for exploring the county or the area. Everyone was very welcoming, including Jackie and the owner Eric who went out of his way to make sure everything was ok and offered us the use of his garage to store our cycles and local points of interest.

This is a cottage we have stayed in many times, always a warm welcome from the owner and the housekeeper, very clean,very comfortable, within distance of many attractions,and many interesting towns and villages,. The Crown Inn pub is just over the other side of the church,just a few minutes away, and sell the most amazing food, I would recommend this to everyone, also the Lugger Inn in Fowey,about 7 miles away serves excellent food.

The cottage was absolutely perfect, it was spotlessly clean and well equiped and in a great location for a quiet few days celebrating our honeymoon. We were greeted on our first day by Allen and Jackie who were charming and most helpful giving us great advice for our trips out. The local pub The Crown Inn only a minutes walk away, had some great history and we were really made to feel welcome by the staff and regulars. The food and local ales were top class, we really enjoyed the whitebait and steaks and wanted to go back for more. Overall the cottage and surroundings were wonderful and we would definitely love to stay there again.

Well presented property and immaculately clean. Based on previous experience this is amazing, just silly things like the power of the shower and the efficiency of the cooker, but overall it was the perfect property for us.
