Mrs Cartwright
It was lovely to have the scones, cream & jam as well as coffee and tea welcoming us. We had travelled a long way and our online shop wasn’t delivered for a few hours, so this was very welcome. The kitchen starter pack was also appreciated. The property has a great location with beautiful views from almost every room. The property has all the basics and was clean. If you plan on cooking maybe take a large oven dish as 2 small ones were all I could find. The beds and bedding were a lovely fresh clean white as were the towels. The walk to the beach was very pleasant and we found Praa Sands a great base for beach walks, coastal walks and driving to explore Mousehole, St Ives and Porthleven (think I spelt all those right?) and many more places. The garden is very steep both front and back (hence the beautiful views). But the steps are well made and we had no problems.

There needs to be some bowls,for mixing in the kitchen, and the chairs in the sitting room far too low to use without help getting out! The house is Not good for elderly people, and this should be made plain. The views are sensational though! and loved the new carpeting throughout. Would recommend to younger friends….
