Great spot

Loved the location. Beach and cliff walks right on your doorstep. Had everything I needed. Kettle was a bit hit and miss and the sky had no signal however that didn’t ruin my stay. As expected with a holiday rental a lot of wear and tare through disregard from previous guests. Very warm place with fabulous views of the countryside and beach below. All recommended beaches are within an hour of the property . St Agnes is a great view point which is only 10 mins away. A local shop is a few metres walk away and they are very friendly. Major supermarkets about 20 mins away but getting a delivery was well worth it. Would definitely come again. The dogs loved it and was a great birthday vacation.

Beautiful views!

Beautiful sunset views from almost every room. Great bathrooms, good mattresses, pillows and bedding. However, the house needs a little TLC/updating. We still had a great stay and it was ideal for 4 mature ladies to get away for a long weekend of R&R

Ideal place to get away to….

Lovely position overlooking Porthtowan and south west along the coast to Carbis Bay and St Ives. Close to the coastal path providing beautiful walks to many tin mines along the heritage coast trails. Perfect getaway whatever the weather. Very comfortable and showers were excellent

A good location for us, however the walk back up the hill from the beach is challenging to say the least. The property generally in good condition but could do with a little love

Great stay

Lovely house, garden and locality. Access to the beach was easier to walk to the end of the road and down the hill. Split your recycling and put in bags, saves the rubbish collectors opening all your bags to separate it!! The house is nice, plenty of room to have your own space. (There was 10 of us and a dog). It’s well equipped for cooking, condiments, washing up liquid, tea towels etc. The house could do with a bit of TLC as could the decking area, (fence and some of the chairs). Garden itself is lovely, well kept lawn and flower beds and plenty of room for the kids to play. The 4 bathrooms were good, showers were warm and powerful especially the main bathroom. (You had a bath and hand towel each). Early check out (9.30) is a bit harsh although found the 5pm check in more of an inconvenience, would say an early check in would be good if an option going forward. Beach is sandy, watch the tide though. A walk to chapel beach along the beach is worth it! Not an over commercialised area which is really nice. Would stay here again and would recommend it.

Great stay!

We had a great time celebrating my mum and her partner finally getting married after 25 years together. The house was lovely and great value for money. The views are incredible! The only downside for us was the neighbours made it more than clear they are not happy about a holiday let being on the street, (more than happy to discuss this with the own otherwise, a great stay.

Family holiday

My family and I enjoyed staying at this property - nice lay out so you all have your own little bit of space but nice big communal areas for spending time together - the hosts have left lots of condiments/cleaning products/utensils so you don’t need to buy/take lots of things with you - really pretty view. Sunsets are 10/10 and are visible from most of the house. The nearby beach has a lovely local/community feel to it. Overall - very happy with our stay

Very nice but improvements needed

Our family gathering of five adults and three children had more than enough room and were very comfortable for our three nights. I won’t repeat what other reviews have said about the positive aspects, view and location; however, I feel that renters need to be aware that there are some issues in the property that would benefit from investment to improve the quality of the interior fabric. • The LED lighting in the kitchen and bathrooms is very dim and cold creating an uninviting atmosphere • Many of the windows are completely misted (view spoiler) between the panes and unable to be opened • The fireplace door does not completely close which creates a draft that accelerates burning. The fire is best with the door open once it lights but be aware that smoke will reverse into the room as the heat decreases. There is also a constant draft coming into the living room from the fireplace flue • The glass doors in the living room do not seal completely and very draughty with a strong southwest wind • The paintwork in places needs attention. For example, the sea facing front bedroom has a large area where the paint has peeled away around the window, most likely due to moisture • The patio table and chairs need a good sanding and oiling to remove the lichen and preserve the wood • If you want to plug your phone in by the bed, you may have to unplug the table lamp from the outlet Nevertheless, we were all extremely pleased with the property and would love to return same time next year.

Fantastic location

Perfect! Hired this place out for a get a way with friends before the Christmas break, we could not believe the size of the place for the price, incredibly reasonable. Gorgeous living room with an incredible sea view, really clean and tidy bedrooms with enough storage for clothes. Log burner made for a lovely cosy atmosphere. There were 9 of us so we were ready for dinner to be difficult, but there were plenty of glassware and kitchen equipment to cook with. Just a short walk down to the beach and local shop, it's peaceful without bring in the middle of nowhere. Thank you very much!!!

Great family weekend away

10 of us stayed for a milestone birthday. The location was brilliant, as was the communication with the host of the property. Instructions for the parking and directions to the property were very helpful. The property had more than we thought would be available (salt, pepper, kitchen utensils etc). If we had to leave one bit of feedback which would have improved our stay further it would be regarding the check in and check out time. If we had only stayed for one night a 5pm check in and 9.30am check out would have put us off staying at the property. Overall, really pleased with our stay! Thank you!

Nice house in a great location

Nice house, good size, but a bit dated and in need of some love. Well stocked and convenient kitchen. Lovely sitting area with views over the sea. Good sized bedrooms and comfy beds. Great to have so many bathrooms too. The heating was very efficient so never cold. But perhaps the thermostat was broken? Cleanliness was good but there were cobwebs on the ceiling and under sofa. Lots of woodlice around as well, especially upstairs. Deck furniture has seen better days. Check in process was easy, apart from the house name is different to the listing which was confusing. Overall, pretty good value for a lovely location.
