If you need a cozy, out of the way retreat, this fits the bill nicely. For those not used to rural Cornwall roads, expect some stretches of single lane, NARROW road between hedges. Take it easy and enjoy the adventure!
Kim and Tony are excellent hosts and will make every effort to make your stay comfortable. Kim’s breakfasts are great, and she does her best to adjust to guest preferences or needs.
