We have a few points that would have improved our enjoyment. It appeared that the heating didn't come on until fairly late in the morning (after 8.00am) and the temperature setting seemed low with no obvious way to give it a boost. We would have like a grab rail or something in the shower and a "soap" tray to put soap/shampoo on while having a shower We did like that we didn't have to put the bins out like we have had to on other holidays in Cornwall

The property is a short walk to the habour and the beach and ideally located in that sense. The walks on either side down the SW coast path were gorgeous as well. The bungalow is beautifully maintained and kept to a high standard. It was imepaccably clean on arrival and well equipped with cleaning essentials and a thoughtful welcoming cream tea with local scones and some milk in the refrigerator. The kitchen was very well stocked and fitted with good quality Neff appliances. The beds were comfortable and those sofas in the lounge were the comfiest we have been in - even better with jaw dropping 270 degree views and the best sunsets we have seen. We had a few niggles with a broken hoover on arrival but that was promptly replaced and our request for fans was dealt with too. We didn't use the barbecue but will definitely try and get there again for peak summer to give that a go. If I had to make any suggestions , some spare rolls of loo roll and better quality toiletries would be helpful. I can whole heartedly recommend Boscregan and thanks again for such an amazing stay.

Sofas, beds all so comfortable. So much light coming into the house, lots of space for 4 adults and two little girls to run around. This has to be the cleanest property we have ever stayed at, thanks to little D. The garden is big, just need to keep an eye on little ones. Lovely big balconies and patio area, unfortunately due to dreadful weather (2weeks) we were unable to use. The views are just stunning. We met a neighbour who was very friendly, as was the gardener and window cleaners. The cleaner little D was so helpful with suggestions for visit with children and advice going to Eden project. This fantastic property helped make this holiday. We can definitely recommend Boscregan.
