Fabulous base for our holiday
This property was perfect for our family. It had everything we could need, was spacious, comfortable, clean and in a beautiful, peaceful location. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. There were fabulous walks straight from the home and a bus stop a stone's throw away for easy access to the area without taking the car. Perfect for us. We highly recommend this property.

Lovely house in a charming hamlet!
Sue and Alec were FABULOUS hosts to my husband and I during our week stay in Cornwall. We had lots of questions and they were so gracious in helping us find our way. The house itself is quite large and spacious and the hamlet of Morvah affords gorgeous views of the cliffs and water and we enjoyed many walks from there! It was a wonderful stay! Many thanks!

A lovely spring break
We had a lovely time at the Old Schoolhouse and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. Sue was a delightful host and responded quickly to any queries that I had prior to our arrival. A beautiful property with a fabulous fire for those chilly spring evenings.

Minutes from coastal path
A unique property which is well equipped and spacious. Good rural location within a few minutes of the SW coastal path and some of Cornwalls best scenery and rugged coast line. Hosts were friendly and attentive.

Excellent holiday home for a relaxing break!!
Sue and Alec where wonderful host, very friendly and knowledgeable about the local history. The house was in an excellent location, it was surprisingly larger then we first expected. The kitchen was also well equipped. All in all a great experience in a beautiful unspoilt part of the country. Would recommend if you are a family visiting this area.

Great base for exploring west Cornwall.
Friendly owners and a lovely cottage within walking distance of a beach with clear water, occasional seals and steep cliffs. The location makes it easy to visit either coast or to follow the SW costal path right though the old mines on the cliffs - Botallack is worth a visit.

Lovely comfortable stay
We had a lovely week staying in the converted school house. Peaceful location, beautiful Unspoilt local beach (very, very steep walk down). Hosts very friendly and welcoming. The property had everything we needed, washing machine was a bonus. Would recommend if you are looking for somewhere quiet and out of the way of hustle and bustle of main destinations however, easy to get to places such as St Ives, Penzance etc.

Sehr gutes, familienfreundliches Ferienhaus
Wir, 2 Erwachsene und 5 Kinder, verbrachten eine schöne Sommerwoche in diesem sehr empfehlenswerten Haus. Das Haus ist ruhig gelegen, Platz ist reichlich vorhanden, die Vermieter sind sehr zuvorkommend, alles war sauber, Ausstattung ist in einem sehr guten Zustand. Die Hausbeschreibung und auch die Fotos im Internet geben eine guten und richtigen Eindruck des Hauses und der Umgebung. Unser Fazit: Wir buchen seit vielen Jahren Ferienhäuser für unsere Familie - dieses Haus war eines der Besten. Es ist einfach gut, ohne größere Schwächen: Einziehen, wohnen und vom ersten Tag an wohlfühlen. So haben wir es erlebt.
