Guests that stayed at this property said
The reviews consistently mention the property being clean and tidy, indicating high standards of cleanliness throughout the farmhouse.
The location is celebrated for its seclusion and proximity to lovely coves and attractions like Kynance Cove and Cadgwith, making it an excellent base for exploring Cornwall.
Guests find the farmhouse very comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and spacious rooms catering to both privacy and group activities.
While the farmhouse is well-equipped with multiple dishwashers, ovens, and a high-spec interior, some guests noted the need for better kitchenware and more glasses or mugs. There were also comments about the need for maintenance on windows to prevent rattling in the wind.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

The perfect place for a family reunion. It’s a gorgeous farmhouse. With more than enough space inside and out for us to spread out and have privacy as well as come together. Amazing. Beautiful location in the estate. So special to walk around the grounds.
