We loved our stay at Top Shelter. The apartment was really well equipped - particularly the kitchen. It's rare as foodies for us to find somewhere we can properly cook in.

It is a good location to explore the western region of Cornwall. The appartement is well equiped, but not luxorious. You can reach the South West Coast Path from the location. You can reach Pothcurnow beach, Lands End, Mousehole and Penzance quickly by car. One the property there are other appartements. The owners are very friendly.

A home from home vacation. Literally perfect location and accommodation for me - secluded, quiet and very comfortable. Literally everything you could possibly need for a holiday.

Top Shelter was spotlessly clean, warm,comfortable, nice big comfortable bed. Everything we needed was here (including a cream tea) plenty of places to visit. Perfect holiday location. Only thing that might stop us returning is the 300 mile journey from our home in Kent.

We had a wonderful week staying in Top Shelter. Despite the best efforts of the weather we stayed warm, dry and very cosy. It's brilliantly located for exploring the far corners of Cornwall and it's lovely and quiet and properly dark at night.
