Nice cottage, comfortable bedrooms and great location for exploring Cornwall.
Nice cottage, comfortable bedrooms and great location for exploring Cornwall. Could do with a new sofa in the lounge as not very comfy, and was sometimes quite a strong smell of dogs in the lounge which was a little off putting. Overall great cottage, could just do with a new sofa and a deep clean!

A few things weren't working. Plus grass in the garden needed cutting. These little things make a huge difference.

Great location, nice cottage with great facilities.
Great location, nice cottage with great facilities. The only issue was the cleanliness. Cobwebs everywhere! In the shower, in the bedrooms, kitchen...not the owners fault but needs a deep clean before we go back. Could also invest in some comfortable pillows!
