    Sharon and Marc are great hosts. The room, breakfast and location are clean, tidy and it feels like home. It‘s only a 10-15 Minutes walk to the Harbour. They helped without hesitation when help was needed because of a flat tyre. We are very grateful and would have stayed longer. If we ever return to Cornwall we‘ll definitely will come back to you folks!

    A plug socket by the mirror would have been helpful, but that really is about it.

    The property is a lovely 10 minute walk to the seafront. Breakfast really was amazing, but above all else, Mark and Sharon are exceptional hosts. You really feel like you are valued and much more than just a customer. Little touches like your initial on your breakfast, chocolates at night and a little goodie bag for the road were great touches too. Also, the shower was very powerful and nice and warm.
