Pros: Centrally located, great views, quiet/peaceful. Recliner chairs very good and bed comfortable. Also the best wifi we have ever experienced in a cottage in Cornwall. Cons: Could be cleaner... Also photo's on website deceptive as it is bijou, but big enough for two though. Conservatory is huge and very warm even with a little sunshine, so weRead more didn't spend much time in there. Hide
