The bed was comfortable and the shower was great too. It is a beautiful old school building with so much charm. We loved the garden space which is currently being redesigned and we can't wait to see what comes next. The use of the sauna is a massive bonus. The owner is lovely and answered all our questions. She kept in contact but you also didn't feel like she was with you on holiday. It was so lovely. The location is perfect!! You are so close to everything. There is also a bus that runs to penzance, from Long Lane, and you can go from Penzance to so many of the places you would want to visit - this will be so useful in the summer. We recommend St Ives, Marazion, Mousehole and Newlyn. The beach is gorgeous but there is also a local walk to the cottage which our dog loved and was equally beautiful. It was very dog friendly and he had the best adventures. The pub literally up the road is also lovely and great to have on the doorstep - good food! Even when the weather was less kind to us we had the most relaxing and enjoyable time staying in the cottage, cosy, warm and with the most stunning view. It was a relaxing, enjoyable stay and we will definitely be returning again. I would recommend this to anyone.

great location and ideal 1 bed place to stay Negatives.... no welcome pakage or booklet/info/anything/ details te surroundings,bins,tv,internet ( there was a faded piece of paper in a fish re wifi we found) Place smelt very musty and damp (though no damp seen), could do with a complete makeover Bedding absolutely stink, smelt damp and awful... though wasnt damp. We literslly stunk after sleeping I it and after 2 nights had enough. Asthma and allergies horrendous through staying there. No muctovave, which is fine, but grill took forever and even had no light to show temp, no room in kitchen area to prepare. 2 x small heaters instead if radiators and mid winter. Postcode given in text to arrive different from original email which caused a problem finding it. Just needs updating, money spent on it and nice clean fresh linen and towels and welcome information.... in all over years, worst place had to leave early.

Itâs decorated realy querky with chests and lovely decor, the pictures online donât do it any justice (Even though it looks fab on pictures) On arrival Dee came and knocked on the door and Welcomed us and told us if we needed anything where too find her. We spent Christmas in here and it had everything we needed to cook a Christmas dinner. It was faultless and our dogs also loved the walks close by, and the huge secure garden for them too run around in. The pub less than 2 minuite walk Away was realy nice and welcoming with everyone singing Christmas songs on Christmas Eve. We would deffintely return in the near future :D
