"A dream place to stay for comfort and calm."
A delightful soak in the outside bath with the sun setting, owls hooting and the stars clear above. Hosts Simon & Becky are lovely as are their 3 gorgeous friendly happy dogs. The accomadation is light and warm with the added bonus of a wood burner, which is very cosy in the evening. Well equipped kitchen with everything you need. Delicious cream tea waiting for us on arrival! We would highly recommend this Scandinavian-style log cabin. Karen & Mark

Right in the middle of nature and we loved having some (very quiet) chickens in our backyard! Excellent service as well and very hospitable, greeting us with some fresh eggs, shortbread, and fudge.

"No hairdryer."
No television reception,the aerial was broken and lying on the roof.we were told we could get Netflix. Tried the outside bath but there was no water in the tap.we don’t have a problem with dogs but from day three of our stay the three of them used the surround of our parking space as toilet area so foot placement was challenging.The price for the time of year was such that we find the issues mentioned above unacceptable, a great shame for what is a beautiful property.

Nordstrom is a very quiet, attractive and convenient location. The Scandinavian style log cabin’s facilities were excellent and the owners were very friendly and welcoming. We visited many places, including Land’s End, St Michael’s Mount, Geevor Tin Mine and several towns and villages. The weather was a bit challenging, but that was no-one’s fault.

The accommodation was cozy, tastefully decorated, well divided, very clean, everything necessary was available and the view of the large garden plot was great. The house is in a very quiet location, you can get everything you need a few miles away in St. Agnes. The owners had provided us with flowers, scones, clotted cream, jam and eggs from their own chickens which gave us a warm feeling of being welcome. All in all, this was the best vacation accommodation we have ever had.

We also really appreciated the scones which were left for us on our arrival- they were exactly what we needed after a long drive. One thing to bear in mind is that Nordstrom is located up a country lane, which may get slippery to drive down during winter months. The house itself is beautiful and nicely finished, fantastic waterfall style shower, and a warming log burner. All in all a lovely stay and would definitely recommend Nordstrom to anyone looking for a few days' break away from the hustle and bustle.

"The lane we had to follow from the A3075 which led to Nordstrom was very narrow and did not seem to have passing places and so we were very concerned at meeting an oncoming vehicle, luckily this did not occur."
This also meant we would not have wished to use this lane in the hours of darkness and so we always made sure we returned in daylight hours.
We were very pleased with the property and we had a beautiful view from the lounge area of the garden where we could watch the beautiful poultry in an enclosed area happily feeding in an ideal environment.
