  Beautiful cottage a real home from home and WHAT a view.

  The accommodation is beautifully presented, well supplied and very clean. Beds are comfortable and all linen is of a high quality. Plenty utensils and crockery, enough for everyone. Everything has been thought through here and the owners have done an excellent job of making this a lovely cottage to stay in. Plenty hot water and heating efficient. There are some beautiful walks with stunning views (weather permitting) on the South West costal path, some pretty villages but take care some very narrow. The downside is the steps, steeper than we thought and some steps are deep and a bit slippy in the wet especially with fallen leaves on, also hand rail was broken halfway down and very slimy from wet. Great caution is needed even for the fittest of people, the step issue should be more highlighted in the description. Also it says dog friendly but I would think seriously about taken dogs, the steps down to lower floor in cottage to front are not good for dogs, they slip and can't get grip as no carpets. You need to keep your dogs on leads and watch carefully. Keep your luggage to a light and compact for carrying up and down.

  Fantastic location, high quality facilities (kitchen/bathroom/en -suit/utility area) and very well maintained.

  * Directly on the path for costal walks in both directions, 1/2 hr into the local villages (and beyond) and in the other direction to a stunning peninsula. *had an issue on the first night with an external alarm sounding, something to do with the drainage system. I called the maintenance number which was answered immediately and the "fault" rectified within the hour. I also know the owner was involved by phone and was very interested to be updated. For me this was a very good indication that if issues arise they will be dealt with asap. What more can one expect ? ;-) Recommendation = 9 rather than 10. Only because due to the steps leading to the property one would have to give a caveat to some groups (I am 56 and I got up and down 2/3 times a day but I could imagine some would struggle)

  The steps leading to the old signal house are a challenge, but what awaits you is well worth the effort!

  Choose carefully what you take to the property, back packs are the easiest method of carrying. The old signal house is a very historic property, but has been wonderfully modernised inside, tastefully and sympathetically. The views from the balcony are outstanding, plus you can take the stairs onto the rooftop, which is an amazing experience. The walks around the peninsula are plentiful, a wonderful walk is the coastal walk to Polhawn Fort and beyond should you wish to. Sadly we didn’t see any seals or dolphins during our visit but we did see deer and Dartmoor ponies. The options for eating and drinking in Cawsand and Kingsand are very good, even in the winter months, it’s a very friendly area. We are very pleased we chose the old signal house, the steps are quickly forgotten!

  We loved our stay at the Old Signal House.

  It is an effort to transverse the long steps to access the accommodation but worth it for the location which is wonderful, peaceful and very special. Just sitting out on the balcony watching boats cross the Sound is joyful. We stayed with our two lively springer spaniel puppies who were equally happy and at home. The house is extremely comfortable and decor and facilities are a high standard and includes great little luxury features such as coffee machine, tv where you log into your own streaming services. We were also very grateful for the welcoming supplies and cream tea. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending but only if you’re fit enough to walk the steps.

  2nd time our family have stayed in this cottage and we were not as impressed as our first time.

  The cottage is set in a perfect spot and ideal for couples with a dog/dogs. However we found the cleanliness could have been improved. The curtain pole in the double bedroom remains broken and a safety issue as it fell down multiple times during our stay - We reported this last time we stayed however it has still not been fixed. The cottage does not appear to have had much maintenance since our last visit. We were told there would be logs provided for the fire however on arrival there was only 1. The welcome/information book appears in need of an update for local recommendations. We did enjoy staying in the area and proximity to the beach is fantastic.
