Vegetation at the rear could be maybe cut down a bit to give more sunlight in the lower ground floor. The TV was a complicated to ensure you got the right channels and it was dissapointing that Netflix and ITV X werent accessible easliy in its own right for the premises as we have found in other venues. However all in all this was a good accomodation. One last thing is that the entrance from the road needs attention as there is a very bad trough in the surface that is not got for the vehicles that enter akin to hitting a pothole.

Accommodation was wonderful, spacious, spotlessly clean. The little extras like biscuits board games etc were a lovely touch. Only issue we had was there was no cot left, however after a quick phonecall this was sorted in no time. Great location for anyone wanting to see the sights of Cornwall. We have visited Cornwall numerous time previously and water wheels has been our favourite Accommodation to stay at. Would definitely recommend and we hope to return again in the future!!
