We had four nights here visiting Cornwall. Cute beachy theme throughout and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Nice little private patio outside with chairs table and barbecue. Very comfortable beds. Cosy little fire (not real) for the evening. Lots of beaches nearby. We walked to the one at the bottom of the hill. (Quite steep ) But you can also park right on the beach and there is a cafe selling food and amazing ice cream. Loved our stay and would happily return.

Kids loved the Nintendo and play areas. Leisure centre had everything we wanted and was spotless. A gym would benefit others but we are not gym goers so made no difference to us that there wasn't one. The only thing that I didn't like were the slugs and woodlouses that we came across in the property.

.. loved our stay as accommodation was both to a high standard and homely. Pool on the complex was great, and local beach perfect for families. Would recommend.
