Carolyn
Everything we needed was provided. Stunning views, especially the sunsets overlooking the sea from the balconies. The property, outside space and location was ideal for our family which consisted of 5 adults, 1 toddler and a dog. It was perfect in every way. The only slight issue with the property was opening the front door from the outside which was a bit difficult although this could just be user error! Would definitely recommend and would return without hesitation. Thank you.

Property was beautiful with plenty of space for all of us and the dogs - clean, spacious and comfortable furnishings. Would definitely recommend for a holiday spot close to some of Newquayâs most beautiful beaches.

Extreamly comfortable and well maintained with tasteful decorations. Parking can be a problem if you have more than 2 cars we were lucky in that a few properties wete empty and so we had ample of room. The house has stunning views over Porth Beach and just 5 minutes walk to the beach, albeit a bit steep for toddlers.
