We absolutely loved the cottage and was very happy with the location. It has amazing views, very peaceful and private and we would certainly visit again. There does need to be clarity on this site on the EV charging points as some have their own charger and part of the price and some are shared and use expensive apps to charge as is the case with this property but the owner was very helpful and understanding.

The Perch is a beautiful bungalow with a modern feel, set in a really ideal location - beautifully picturesque views of hills and farming fields together with a sense of tranquility, such a welcome experience from noisy, city life. The stunning Minack Theatre is a relatively short drive from The Perch, as well as to Penzance, Sennan Cove and Lands End. We've just returned from our Cornwall holiday and are missing it already...we may stay at The Perch again in future 🙂

I would recommend the property however there is a lack of consideration for seniors. High steps both into the property and the bi fold doors into the garden. No handles in the shower. A hand held shower head also needed. The sofa is also really low to the ground. Just a few small changes would really help the property be more accessible to senior citizens. That said the property is lovely, set in a beautiful tranquil area. We sat most evenings watching the visiting wildlife. Thank you to our host's for the lovely welcome pack, a thoughtful touch.
