Fresh Local Seasonal Produce
"Wonderful breakfasts, especially the home made granola, cosy room. A very pleasant, quiet, rural retreat. Walk to the St Germans quay - well worth the time, a circular walk. Good food at the Rod + Line, Tideford."
Alan & Caroline - Hampshire, February 2011
"Thank you for a perfect start and a wonderful week for our first visit to Cornwall - Will never forget the tomatoes"
Hillmann & Werners- Bern, Switzerland, October 2011
"We've had a lovely relaxing holiday, all felt so easy and comfortable. Thanks for delicious breakfasts, it's taken me 27 years to convince my husband to eat seeded bread - you've convinced him in a week!! We enjoyed picnics on a evening in your beautiful surroundings!"

Free range dry cured bacon and a Cornish speciality, hogs pudding, are supplied by a traditional local butcher. In season the tomatoes are our own super tasty heirloom varieties.
