Welcome gift of milk and fruit was much appreciated. House is well located for Newlyn and Penzance. Recommend Open Top bus but may want to go into Penzance to get it, as top deck often full by time gets into Newlyn. Also recommend butchers, Auntie May's pasties and Lewis's fish and chips/ Would definitely consider coming again

There was plenty of room for two cars on the drive but there was a loose steel divider on the path which we tripped over regularly. The layout of the house suited our extended family well with two ground floor bedrooms and one second floor. The kitchen and utility room were modern and well presented. There was plenty of room around the dining table for 6. The living room was comfortable although the internet was slow and struggled with streaming films. And there were insufficient seats to allow 6 people to match TV comfortably for movie nights. The main bathroom was clean and modern with a large shower that had plenty of hot water, but there was none at the sink in the main bathroom. The cloak room was clean but dated and a bit tired. There would be sufficient room to install a shower in there which would be an excellent addition when it is renovated. The beds were comfortable and the rooms clean but the curtains and bedding was dated. None of the curtains were blackout and the ones in the downstairs double did not cover the entire window. The garden and sitting out areas were well maintained and the seating was comfortable. We were met by the owner on arrival, who had kindly left us a bottle of milk, tea and a fruit basket for our arrival. There were no visitors/welcome books, though, which was unusual, so we didn't have recommendations for local eateries or the instructions booklets for the appliances or heating. The radiators in the hall and cloakroom came on each morning even though they were not required. Plus the wifi code was handwritten rather than typed which meant we used trial and error to decipher it. All in all we had a great time during our stay ar Azure and would recommend it to others. Thank you
