It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The only thing we noticed was some black mould on the bathroom ceiling, which seems to be due to the bathroom fan no longer working. Bedroom doors also get stuck on wooden floors if trying to close/open. We have stayed here before and would happily return again in the future.

Shame about the mould in the bathroom and the smaller bedroom. Otherwise had a lovely stay and really enjoyed Cornwall.

The house had not been cleaned on our arrival - there was sand, dust, food crumbs and dog hair all over the property. Additionally the bathroom extractor fan does not work, the clothes airer is missing a leg and the hall cupboard handle was loose (and came off opening the door).
