10/10 Excellent
"Excellent stay and well worth the money. It's a family run establishment so you get the personal touch and some extras like much needed milk in the fridge. It's a drive into an estate so the location is peaceful and pretty. All amenities were kept to a very high standard. We'll definitely be looking to stay here again next time I'm down in Cornwall. Penzance is down the road for all your shopping and Porthocurno / Lands End are a 20 minute drive away. Ideal location."
