Guests say
Penwhine Cottage in St Merryn, Cornwall, is praised for its comfortable and well-equipped interiors, ideal location for beach access, and safe garden for pets. While some guests found the property spacious and enjoyed their stay, others noted areas for improvement in cleanliness and maintenance.
Guests have reported cobwebs and dirty windows upon arrival, indicating a need for better cleaning. However, not all reviews mention cleanliness issues.
The location is generally appreciated for its proximity to beaches and as a base to explore Cornwall, though one review mentioned inconvenience due to school drop-off parking.
The property is described as comfortable and spacious, with some guests finding the single beds comfy. However, there are mixed reviews about the comfort of the double beds.
Facilities are seen as adequate with all the mod cons appreciated, but there are comments about the property appearing tired outside, the need for garden maintenance, and issues with the bathrooms.
While a welcome pack was mentioned and appreciated, there is insufficient information to assess the consistency of thoughtfulness across all stays, and such gifts should not be expected.

We wouldn't stay again. There were cobwebs in every corner on arrival and windows were filthy. Red sofa in the kitchen was also filthy. It seems to have undergone a budget renovation and we've stayed in better places for less. Certainly overpriced. Downstairs bathroom has loo roll holder hanging off the wall, for example. Single beds were comfy however the doubles no so much. I'm sorry, but we won't be booking to stay again.

We wouldn't stay again. There were cobwebs in every corner on arrival and windows were filty. Red sofa in the kitchen was also filthy. It seems to have undergone a budget renovation and we've stayed in better places for less. Certainly overpriced. Downstairs bathroom has loo roll holder hanging off the wall, for example. There are two bathrooms however only the downstairs was usable as the bath upstairs is only large enough for a child and has a shower attachment on the taps. Built into the eaves, unable to fit a shower so 6 adults staying using 1 shower was inconvenient, at best. Single beds were comfy however the doubles no so much. I'm sorry, but we won't be booking to stay again.
