    Great location.Easy walk to the cove and beyond. Only problem I had was locking the front door !! It was a bit hit and miss .

  • Chris

    Electrical wires not in conduit for one. Every time we put the towel rail on. The downstairs bathroom tripped the fuse. The microwave was making a very weird noise. This in my view is basic and should be checked prior to rental.

    Having now spent a week at St Michael's I do agree with some comments previously posted but unfairly that review is no longer visible. St Michael's is superbly located for the beach and a short stroll into the Village. The lounge in particular has been furnished sympathetically, making it comfortable and cosy. The kitchen is superbly kitted out, albeit the oven and hob were rusty in places. The downstairs shower was dirty and well overdue a refurb. The tops of the economy 7 radiators were grimy and the courtyard area is in desperate need of a jet wash. The up cycling of the bedroom furniture is commendable, but the pieces are now stained, shabby and unsightly. All in all, I wouldn't return to St Michael's. The rental price is reflective of the proximity to the beach and not on the standard of accomodation on offer.
