We had a lovely short break at Cowries made dramatic by Storm Amy! The house is very well equipped and the layout worked well enabling us to work from one of the living spaces and the second living space could be enjoyed by the rest of the family. The spacious kitchen at the heart of the house was ideal. Being dog friendly and having a functionaRead morel utility space was great too. Location-wise, Constantine was a perfect base to visit Harlyn, Padstow, Trevose & Treyarnon. Hide
