'The cottages are used extensively by the family as holiday homes. They have been lovingly restored and renovated by the owners who are personally totally involved in letting the cottages, welcoming visitors but asking them to respect the personal atmosphere of all three cottages. The cottages are available to let for family holidays throughout the year, special breaks i.e. Christmas, Easter, holiday weekends and for shorter periods at special rates, usually during the off-season. Dogs are permitted by arrangement only. Prices do not include the cost of heating/electricity. Linen is generally not included, but can be arranged at an extra cost. Pets are permitted by prior arrangement at a small extra cost. Please advise if you require a travel cot/highchair at any of the cottages. We can also provide a Basic Provisions Pack and freshly cooked/frozen dishes.

The garage/grocery is close by and it is a pleasant walk down the olde worlde former main street (Fore Street) to the Post Office and harbour area in the lower part of the village. Here you will find the Tourist Office, with information about walks, fishing trips, golfing, riding, and nearby pubs, restaurants, beaches etc. There are also a number of shops where food supplies can be bought and of course the opportunity to try a 'Cornish pasty' in one of the teashops or pubs down there.
