"Lovely stay at Pickle Cottage in the June heatwave. There’s everything you could possibly need there including stuff for children etc and very clean. Loved Gorran Haven beach with such soft sand and easy access, food at The Ship Inn was good and the pasties from Nile’s bakery were huge and stuffed full of chunks of meat and veg. A great week and would highly recommend Pickle Cottage."
