By Christine G on 21-Sep-2024We've had a great week with beautiful weather. Apple Tree cottage is very clean and comfortable and has everything we needed. There is so much to do in the area - Antony and Cotehele houses, Looe, Kingsand and Cawsand, Whitsand Bay. St Germans, The Stable Yard and the old quay are well worth a visit.
Mike and Tine were lovely hosts.

By Ulli S on 23-Aug-2024We experienced typical english weather, but it didn't stop us from going to the beaches, horse riding and walking up on Dartmoor. We enjoyed the time in Cornwall very much.
Vielen Dank, empfehlenswert!
By Henrike J on 23-Aug-2024Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in dieser sehr geschmackvoll eingerichteten ehemaligen Stallgebäude sehr genossen. Umgeben von Bäumen, nebenan die sehr freundlichen Vermieter in guter Lage zum Meer und in der Nähe zur Fähre nach Plymouth hatten wir hier eine gute Ausgangslage für Tagesausflüge mit dem Fahrrad oder Auto
