The shower is simple to use and the bedroom is comfy.Loved the little patio, make a brew, wrap up and spot satellites… there is no light pollution!We loved our stay here at Acorn cottage and will 100% go back.

Gemütliches Cottage mit atemberaubendem Blick

Ein ganz herzliches,liebevolles Ankommen. Das Häuschen hat alles was man braucht und ist sehr raffiniert eingerichtet. Sauberkeit war makellos. Julie und Eugene haben es so eingerichtet,dass das Wohlfühlen ganz leicht fällt. (Selbst an regnerischen Tagen). Die Wohnung ist so gelegen,dass man rundherum alles Tolle in Cornwall entdecken kann. Wir würden definitiv wieder kommen.
