Visiting guests access the property via Jack Lane. You will have a key for the front door which takes you to an entrance hall. This area is shared with a downstairs are which is located below the apartment. There is a secondary secure private door straight ahead that goes into the private area of your apartment. Once through, the accommodation is upstairs. We do ask guests to remove shoes, before they go upstairs. This is to aid cleanliness for all visitors.
It is also located near the Swordfish, which is a village pub, popular with locals and tourists alike. It has a sweet beer garden for you to enjoy a few pints of Cornish ale during the summer. It can get lively especially on Friday nights when there is a band playing. The Swordfish pub closes around mid-night and the area is usually quiet after that and during the day.
