Lovely, historic building with fabulous garden
An enjoyable stay in a very unique, historic building which was very spacious and had a great outdoor space with a picnic table, barbeque and magnificent views over rolling countryside.

Beautiful, secluded, perfect
A wonderful place, full of history and in a gorgeous location. Our house was very welcoming and lovely with the kids. The house is fascinating for anyone interested in history and the kids loved running up and down various stairs. Kitchen has everything you need, lovely garden has toys and games and a bbq, and the views are amazing. Easy for local walks and great Iocation for north Cornwall attractions. Would highly recommend.
