The shower room is on the ground floor, with shower, basin and WC. The king-size bedroom is on the first floor in the eaves. Bed linen and towels are included in the rent.

Outside
The enclosed garden, with raised decking area, is ideal for enjoying an outdoor meal or a glass of your favourite cold drink after a day of exploring the area with your dogs.
We loved the property we stayed at, very dog friendly and ideally located for seeing all that Cornwall has to offer, whilst being sufficiently off the beaten track t feel like we were in an oasis of tranquility…
