  VERY DISAPPOINTED with the place, though the views were excellent, pity everything else was not represented acutely in the description.

  Left early as on day 4 we were woken up early by the window cleaner washing the windows (that had no nets on) whilst my daughter and wife were sleeping for him to have a good stare at. If you are disabled and in a wheel chair forget it, the only good thing is the wet room. Not sure where the 3 level are as it is 2 levels unless it has an underground bunker that we did not find, and we could not find 3 bathrooms either, that may also be in the underground bunker. We did find a shower cubical at the end of the utility room and a small cupboard for a toilet, however I was unable to get through the kitchen door to see for myself as my wheelchair did not fit through the doors. If you want to visit anywhere you needed to add 35/40 mins to every journey as you are 15 miles from the main body of Cornwall down country lanes, so no chance for any takeaways or deliveries, are a no no. The walk to the harbour is more than a challenge you would need to be very fit as the quick way is like a 1 in 2 gradient not a hope in hell of pushing a wheelchair up even my electric buggy could not do it. The longer way is a 1 in 4 and even my 3 fit mid 20’s kids where struggling and a good 15/20 walk all up hill. To cap it all off the sofas and chairs were so low to the floor that you needed help to get up and very old too. Did have a nice recliner there so me and the wife jousted to see who would win. Not the cleanest of places I must say but well equipped, beds, linen and towels all good and a nice welcome pack as well. If you are looking for remote quiet and peaceful place and do not want to do anything and eat in everyday , this fits the bill, unfortunately the next door neighbour was having work done which was very noise and annoying. Nice coop shop but all the others are well expensive even the cafes are ridiculously over priced as they know you cannot go anywhere else as this is all there is for 15 miles.

  An amazing experience staying at the lighthouse cottage, unique and with amazing views. Everything was clean and furniture inside was lovely. Toiletries were a nice touch and the welcome basket. However for the amount of money people are paying there are some things that need to be improved, particularly the garden furniture which was old and one of the seats was broken, and the bench seat in the garden is broken. So needs to be a better standard, with a heavy duty sun parasol, and maybe some sun loungers so people can really take advantage of the lovely garden. TV was far too small. Also some general upkeep issues like the toilet seat in the shower room was discoloured underneath and one of the rubber feet was missing. Appreciate its an old cottage with character features but the windows were very difficult to open, my husband had to go outside and stand on a chair in order to push open the kitchen window! No fan provided. Only other comment was that on numerous occasions we did catch people trying to enter by climbing over the garden fence, even though the padlock was in place and it was clearly private. So perhaps a better sign , or higher fence would help?

  Cottage is close to all amenities in St Mawes - just a short walk away.

  Comfortable beds and living/dining area upstairs offers wonderful views of the harbour and sea - always something going on. Unfortunately the bathing facilities let this cottage down; the main bathroom with hand held shower and en suite shower room to main bedroom did not offer anything like enough power in order to have a decent shower / rinse off soap / wash hair etc. The en suite shower had to be kept on Eco in order to offer consistent warm water (water not hot which at this time of year was inadequate). On High the water was intermittently scalding hot or cold. The main bathroom would benefit from a shower screen or shower curtain in order to be able to shower properly - again, no power to the shower. We have stayed in Pier cottage previously and hoped improvements to the bathrooms had been made, unfortunately not. Shame as other improvements are great and the cottage has everything needed for a great week away in a fabulous place - St Mawes. Above being said, we enjoyed our week but are unlikely to book again unless the bathing facilities are improved. Presumably this us why the cottage is 3 stars?

  We stayed for three days in February when the storms were at their height. The property feels very safe (as you'd expect from a lighthouse cottage) and the challenging journey down to the lighthouse during the storm (via the very steep path which others have mentioned) just added to the atmosphere and the sense of getting away from normal life. In other words, we loved it. The property is furnished to an excellent standard. There is a viewing room separate to the cottage and even this has a heater and furniture so is a great place to eat your breakfast and watch the sea. The fog horn sounded quite frequently while we were there but it's really not loud or annoying enough to case a disturbance when you're inside the cottage. The best advice is to wear sensible shoes to and from the property and to only take what you really need down that access path on arrival (because taking it back to your car on the day you leave is going to be a proper workout!). Comfortable beds and furniture, warm, everything we needed. Highly recommended.
