Lovely cottage, magical layered garden. Very secure for dogs, our little Westie thought he was at the Eden Project. Super views over the Tamar Valley. Perfect place for a chill out and Kit Hill is a perfect picnic spot.

Lovely cosy cottage. Two of us staying, myself and my grownup daughter so both bedrooms were used. The beds were very comfortable and plenty of storage. Kitchen well equipped for cooking meals. Lovely garden for when the sun shines. Ideal location for Cornwall and Devon. Couple of lovely pubs nearby. Will be booking again next year.
