The house is great with everything you could need. Location is wonderful. It was clean and comfortable and worth the money. Its a little damp smelling downstairs and the lights where you enter dont work so could be difficult in the dark as I found I needed a torch to locate key etc. Id return for sure.

This cottage was so much more than what we expected, we wanted it as a base, that worked but we felt right at home here with three kids and two adults we had plenty of space. It was modern through out with everything for a family of our size though out! With a short walk to Lusty Glaze beach it was something else such a prime location for Newquay, Fistral and Porth beach was so easy. Highly recommend this even came with a stair gate if you have younger children so you dont have to stres! Will 100% be coming back!

This year was our 6th stay at 13 Watermark but we will not be visiting again.A TV has been installed that does not recieve terrestrial channels, the WiFi speed seems to have been down graded causing buffering on my firestick . The fan in the shower room sounded like a helicopter taking off, the oven did not work (self catering?), the heating came on at 5:30am 25.5 degrees so I switched it off, the flooring outside the bathroom was lifting due to a recent plumbing issue.So overall it was somewhat disappointing to say the least.
