    It has everything you need and more. Found in a woodland setting with a stream running down the side of the garden, which can be heard from the amazing hot tub. So relaxing. You're guaranteed a good night's sleep on the most comfortable beds with skylights above that you could view the stars through (weather permitting). DON'T follow sat nav up Bal Rd but carry on up the hill to the left and you'll see a sign to the house on the right,its just after a stream on Google maps,turn right down a track then right again onto a private drive then through a wooden gate to the property. Jenna and Nigel will make you feel very welcome. I would not hesitate to stay here again. It's in a great location for visiting the delights of southern Cornwall, from the gorgeous white,sandy beaches,quaint seaside towns, and I highly recommend a visit to Geevors Tin mine. Thank you for the cream tea left for us. It was very nice!

In front of the media wall complete with flat screen smart tv and picture window, unwind with dreams of the day’s adventures and the endless possibilities of tomorrow.
