A beautiful, interesting property on a lovely complex. Three of us spent two nights here. Basic things supplied such as milk and small amount of tea, coffee and sugar but be aware only one loo roll in each loo!Bus stop conveniently located outside the complex with good access to both Falmouth and Truro. We had a boiler problem with no hot water, but was resolved. The property is clean but dusty and cobwebby.
