| We found your lovely cottage on the internet and having had a week here, it has exceeded our expectations! It is very comfortable and well appointed. When we return to Canada, we'll be sure to tell all our friends about your cottages and the wonderful walks in the area. This has been a good base for our holiday in this part of Cornwall! |

| Many thanks for letting us stay in such a comfortable, beautifully prepared and well equipped cottage. You provided us with a perfect base to explore this glorious peninsular. We were blessed with warm and sunny weather to seek out every meandering creek and tiny harbour and we doubt if any remains to be found. Our thanks, too, to Sue who so willingly and cheerfully looked after all our needs. |
