Also refuse collection lorries (private and public) nearly everyday. Home well equipped and welcome cream tea, wine and flowers a lovely surprise. Has a parking space which is a great bonus but virtually impossible to park as space has very narrow access ( bring a small car). This house has lovely views of the sea from the bedrooms and really central to access nearby beaches and footpaths. This is not a good choice for someone with mobility issues as lots of quirky steps to access two of the bathrooms. Nice garden and good area for hanging out washing and wet swim gear - v useful outside tap and shower, which can be accessed without trapsing through the house. Very nice tasteful furnishings - obviously the owner of this house cares about their guests. We had a great holiday.

We expected something very special for the price of this property and we did not think we got that. I think that the owners are resting on their laurels in that the position of the property is exceptional, and the fact that there is parking justifies the very high price. Whilst the kitchen is well equipped it is so badly designed as to be almost unworkable with the fridge down a bottleneck and almost impossible to get to. More to the point is the fact that the shower in the twin bedded room is simply not fit for purpose. It is not possible to turn it on and not be in the cubicle. You have to run through the gamut of freezing cold water to get to the desired temperature and the power of the shower is way too strong for the tiny size of the cubicle. In the other en suite bathroom there is no mirror ⦠nor are there any hand rails to help with the large step down into the bathroom. We failed to get any water flow in the family bathroom. We also discovered that the Draconian check in and check out times are a throw back to Covid and other properties have reverted to a more sympathetic pre-Covid times. I know a lot of people in the village of Portscatho many of whom have rental properties and they could not believe the price. The fact that the price was reduced by £1000 because it was not let in the preceding week left us feeling pretty fed up. I understand that this is a question of the ownerâs taste but the art work on the walls is simply ghastly and totally inappropriate for a rental property. It looks like the work of a student on crack cocaine; it is unsettling and horrible. All in all we were disappointed in what we thought was going to be a spectacular property.

A very well-stocked kitchen for glasses, cups, plates, cutlery, pots and pans. However, with the fridge and tea and coffee-making area in a small adjoining room and with the main kitchen dominated by a large Woden island/table, it's quite awkward to cook in. In the dining room, there is a serious trip hazard in the form of a raised floorboard in the left-hand side of the room as you go in and I do feel that this needs to be clearly highlighted, I myself tripped over it a couple of times, fortunately not carrying anything. There is also a very high step up to the mezzanine bathroom but this is clearly indicated and there is also a handrail. The back garden is not sea-facing, but it is lovely and a real sun trap. If you like unusual quirky layouts you'll love this place.
