“Review”
The apartment was clean, spacious and well equipped. Good location, nice welcome pack. The only negative thing was the people in the flat above being very noisy every morning at about 6 am
“Highly recommend”
We had the most amazing time in Cornwall and were blessed to come back everyday to an apartment that was so homely. There were so many little touches that were so thoughtful and really child friendly. Easy access to lots of sights and a lovely outside area to relax in at the end of the day. We will definitely be back, hopefully next year!
