Unforgettable and heartwarming

Pros: Where to start? Deb and Paul are the most wonderful and sweetest hosts you could imagine: helpful, kind, interested, not to forget the breakfast made by chef de cuisine, Paul: highlight! Self made granola and cherry compote, egg Florentine or vegetarian sausage with beans, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms. I could skip lunch … And the room: neat, clean, beautifully decorated with the paintings of artist Adrian Grainger (the beaks!). Bed: perfect, not too soft, not too hard. Tea, incredibly tasty spicy Cornish cookies and every day fresh water are to be found. The beach: 15 mins walk to land in paradise, sandy, golden, what a view! Long story short: I will come back and am looking forward to chatting with you and Cleo again!

A warm welcoming home with all the treats you would expect from a top rated guest house.

Pros: Such a lovely place. Paul and Deb are friendly, helpful and the breakfast was superb. The bed is super comfortable with gorgeous bed linen and their kind attention to detail with special treats like biscuits and elderflower soft drink from the area was such a lovely surprise.
