There is plenty of space to sit here (parasol available – you might need the shade!), and the summer sun stays until late afternoon. Then it’s time to move to the sea side for a glass of wine on the balcony to watch the colour changes as the sun sets into the sea. Be prepared for envious comments from the people who gather for the sunset!

The beach is yards away - we get the occasional waft of barbecues, and delighted squeals of children jumping in the waves at the height of the season, but we are just tucked away enough to avoid all the noise and bustle. Looking out onto the grass of the Island, and the sea beyond, means that we mostly have dog-walkers and picnic groups, coast path walkers, or people just out for a stroll.

The Cornish winters are generally mild, if a little wet and windy at times - a frost is a rare thing. The stormy days are exciting to watch from the lounge window (if the salt spray hasn’t covered it!).

The biggest (double ended) bath tub we could fit in, a comfortable dining booth that’s easy to stay in for an entire evening, a home cinema experience so good (ceiling mounted projector and surround sound) that we haven’t been to an actual cinema for a long time, a retro option for playing music (a record player and vinyl collection, though we can’t guarantee it’s to your taste!), and a Star Wars themed toilet no less!

All we ask is that you give our tame house plants a little water, and the (also quite tame) wild birds in the courtyard a little food, and leave the place as you found it.
