It was as nice as our memory of our first stay, when the sun shines there is only one place to be - on the terrace. Having said that it is very comfortable to be inside. It is a very friendly place to be to enjoy Cornwall.

Lovely rooms with great view. Bathrooms need updating, not the best configuration. Could do with a lighter bar menu.
