Spotlessly clean & tidy throughout.
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home.
We found it spotlessly clean & tidy throughout.
It is well equipped with everything. The beds were very comfortable. We used the home as a base and spent each day out and about.

Pleasant stay
We stayed for three nights and had a lovely time. The house is comfortable and has everything you would need. Very bright and airy and clean. The garden is enclosed and very pleasant. Also a great location! Thank you for the welcome gift.
The third bedroom single bed is more of a put up bed and small. TV took a bit of working out and heating upstairs didn’t work.

Lovely house
A lovely house from which to base our all too brief stay in Cornwall. Very comfortable, kitchen worked well. We enjoyed the Eden project, checked up on family history and the lost garden of Heligan. Very delicious dinner at Polgooth Inn, atmosphere so different to Australia! Would love to come again to Cove house.
