"We so enjoyed our time at The Sunday House, what an experience to stay in a home with such history, charm and all the mod cons. The village is so beautiful and so close to so many activities, we canoed, rode horses, hiked and visited many historical places. But some of our favourite moments were lounging in the living room with all of us deep in a book. An unheard of event for a family with 4 teenagers from Los Angeles.
The evenings on the deck with our wine were lovely too.
Where are we off to next?
Love your Mammoth home, love your Golant home, we are ready for more!!"
"We've enjoyed a very relaxing family holiday at The Sunday House. It is spacious and comfortable enough for the 6 of us to spread out, find peaceful places to read during the rainy times (many) and gather on the terrific terrace for a few BBQ's on the fine evenings. The view from here is wonderfully tranquil. Food and beer from the local pub are good especially if it is warm enough to sit outside. The Quay House in Fowey provided a wonderful location to celebrate my birthday.
We would recommend the hall walk from Polruan to Bodinnick, great pub there with river views, then return on the car ferry as a foot passenger. Also the walk along the saints way is very pleasant from The Sunday House.
We hope to return. Thanks for providing such an attractive and restful location for our holiday and for sharing your lovely home with us."
