The apartment is well thought out and nicely furnished. The only negatives we found were the sofas were not very comfortable, the 3 seater particularly was bad as it was sunken at one end. The water pressure seemed low in bathrooms, especially with the shower in the ensuite, not sure if this is because of the type of shower installed. The mattress on the main bed was extremely firm for my liking, I know this is often a personal choice thing so its just one of those things. These were all minor niggles and would not put us off visiting again. Overall we thought the property was lovely, especially with having a garden and wonderful views of the sea !! We had a great holiday and look forward to returning to Cornwall soon !

We have a child with a nut allergy so cooked a lot in the apartment and we had everything and more that we needed. The owners were very helpful from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this lovely apartment

Lovely and warm and dry even in the pouring rain (some places can feel so damp with Cornish rain!). It was really comfortable and clean with great views and such an easy walk to the beach. Mattresses and pillows were super comfy (always an issue for me) and so good to have a king bed! The kitchen was so well equipped, thank you! I actually ordered some ready meals as I wasn't sure it would be, so will know for next time. As our son lives in Downderry, I'm sure we will be back - we loved it!
