    The location was absolutely stunning and the tent was exactly what we needed for an overnight stay in Cornwall. The air mattresses were very comfortable and the communication from the owners was great so we knew exactly what we needed to bring...

    Perfect for our group, croissants and coffee for breakfast. Nice views over the lake. Hosts Tom & Mel are very friendly and accommodating, and we ended up staying by an extra night
