A floor plan on the website would be useful as 2 bedrooms downstairs and interlinked as well as only 1 shower (downstairs). Very comfortable and warm but could do with some updating (downstairs bathrooms and bedrooms quite damp and mouldy) ##### Lotty A. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcus S. 26 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magical hideaway with best view Thatchways is a great place with character and great atmosphere. There are a lot of historical books about local history on the shelf to read by the fire at night to get into the vibes of the village. We got to enjoy beautiful sunsets every night. There is a lot for the children to explore and a great garden. We are glad that we found Crackington Haven and would recommend The Coombe Inn, both cafes and the village shop (run by locals) near the Institute up the road and we would definitely recommend Thatchways and hope to come back one day. Great place to explore the coastal path both ways that is just outside the door. ##### Marcus S.
