Advertised for 4 people but definitely more suitable for family with 2 young children. Chalet was very small and only has one mirror in the main bedroom so with 2 older daughters getting ready to go out was a bit chaotic. Think the photos may have been taken some time ago as the property feels a bit tired and some of the issues mentioned in other reviews are still to be resolved. We’ve stayed at several VRBO properties so surprised this had such a high rating.

Fabulous

Thanks so much Tina, we had an absolutely fantastic 5 night break away at Seagull’s Rest. The property itself is really lovely, super cosy and was absolutely spotless. Lots of attention to detail and even a hamper of essentials was provided for the pooch. The woodland grounds are equally as nice, with lots of squirrels and birds right on the doorstep. It was so quiet and peaceful and was the perfect base for our travels around Cornwall. We couldn’t have booked anywhere better for what we needed. Would recommend in a heartbeat.
