Jo
Had a fantastic week at this lovely house, great location, really well equipped with everything you need, so spacious and comfortable. Very clean too. We will be booking again for next year.
Anthony
Amazing, cannot say enough positive things abouts House for 8 in Little Petherick. Beautiful cottage, set in a the peaceful village of Little Petherick with outstanding views across the countryside. The level of equipment was unbelievable, we wanted for nothing, if we needed it, it was there and more besides, even had sharp kitchen knives which is pretty much unheard of. The location is also perfect just 5/10 minutes from Padstow, Wadebridge, Harlyn and other beaches and then not far from A39 and A30 for quick access to other parts of Cornwall. Would not hesitate to stay again. It sets a very high bar for other places to live up to.
Roger
Beautiful holiday apartment with views. It contains every thing you need for a fantastic holiday. The decking with seating area with lights and a heater for colder nights We loved the pictures in the rooms and small stand with books. this is a large place and with 8 people staying there is plenty of room.
Linda
Lovely spacious house, fully equipped. Good sized bathrooms and plenty of hot water. Great view over Little Petherick etc. Two bedrooms could do with a small wardrobe or hanging rail.
