A Cornish house to die for!
Looking for a holiday house to suit ten people was a daunting task, but we struck lucky with The Old School House in Devoran near Truro, Cornwall. That house certainly had the WOW! factor. It was a great size; open and airy and wonderful for everyone to find their own space. It was nicely decorated with lots of modern conveniences. The pleasure of sitting down at a table big enough for all of us was a great bonus. I couldn't think of a thing that was missing in that lovely kitchen. The location was good, within easy reach of both North and South coasts; close to a river and play park and, well just a short drive to everywhere! Devoran was perfect - a pretty village, with a great pub and beautiful views. The intermittent rain didn't spoil some lovely beach days and almost all of us turned out in wet suits to have a go at surfing and body boarding (not water boarding as we keep telling people!) We hired two motor boats one day and even Daisy aged 5 and Tommy aged 7 had their turns at the tiller. The problem is that now we are home, the kids think that their bedrooms are much too small!
