Modern quiet and everything we needed to relax. Well done to the owners who clearly thought of everything. Didnât use the garden as bit windy and wet at the beginning. We are into recycling but didnât know when the bin men were coming so missed them. Only one minor comment. We always leave a property as we find it but couldnât find the vacuum cleaner. Generally it was clean and tidy but could do with a wizz around with the duster in the lounge and windows. Overall it was a lovely holiday in a great location.

Top marks from me. For information the 2nd parking space will only take a small car, my Renault Captor just about fitted but nothing longer.

It is on a completely blind bend if turning in from the right. The house has everything you need and is spacious and comfy( although take your own condiments). The garden is small and we couldnât sit out as it is overgrown - the grass needs cutting and the decking is covered in bird poo - it could do with a jetwash/hose to clean it up! The shower over the bath takes ages to drain too but these are really small points, the house is lovely!! It is a good base and location for travelling round Cornwall but if you want to pop to the pub or shops you will need to drive. There is nothing in immediate walking distance. We enjoyed our stay here and would stay again. Unfortunately we didnât have the best weather but we still managed to visit the gorgeous beaches at St Agnes and Crantock on the two best days as well as a rainy day visit to St Ives and a trip to the wonderful St Nectans Glen (quite a drive there!) Thank you.
