We stayed in the cottage. It was lovely and very clean and cozy. We had an amazing stay. Lovely secluded little village- so peaceful. We used it as a base and drove to various parts of Cornwall each day. Pub was really old and traditional- and served lovely food. Breakfast was great- plentiful and hot. All staff members that we met were lovely and all very friendly. Would definitely stay again!

In the deep countryside yet popular with locals and visitors. Great pub restaurant vibe. Breakfast could be improved with fresh fruit and yoghurts available. The staff were absolutely on the ball.
