What others say about self-catering in Cornwall

..I will always recommend Orange Roofs to people, it's a real personable service and everyone I have spoken to have been fantastic. Plus the properties they manage are another level of luxury. We can't wait to come back to Cornwall, I thought I'd found all the hidden gems already until Orange Roofs advertised this place. I can't recommend this apartment enough, it was perfect.

We stayed at Hillcrest which was a superb cottage in Hayle, and everything that we needed for our holiday. All the family including the dog thoroughly enjoyed there stay there. There is a great beach with a ten minute walk, and some very nice eating places within walking distance. It is a good location to get to many places around Cornwall. I would recommend this to both family and friends, and anyone who needs a place to stay on holiday. Orange Roofs are very good and most helpful when booking and during your you vacation. Many thanks for a great holiday.
