Guests say
The Gatehouse is a charming cottage praised for its lovely location close to the coast and Truro, offering a comfortable and quiet setting ideal for couples. Guests appreciate the convenience to beaches and towns, and the property provides a homely feel, making it a place guests wish to return to.
The cottage's cleanliness is generally satisfactory, though some guests noted areas that could benefit from more thorough cleaning. No widespread complaints suggest that the issues are not systemic.
The location is highly regarded, with its proximity to the north coast, various beaches, and the city of Truro, making it an excellent base for exploring the area.
Comfort is seen as adequate, with the cottage described as nice and comfortable. However, there are remarks about the mattress springs being felt, which could detract from the overall comfort.
Facilities require attention, with reports of maintenance issues such as blocked guttering and a noisy bathroom extractor. Some kitchen items were missing, but the property seems to have the essentials for a pleasant stay.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Overall a lovely place to stay, maybe a few more kitchen items needed such as a rubbish binThe mattress springs were felt so made sleeping a bit uncomfortable, and a little more cleaning in certain areas would enhance the stay, but above all it was a lovely place to stay.

Gatehouse needs maintenance work and redecoration. Guttering blocked and water cascading down making sleeping difficult. This was reported and action was taken to remedy this. Extractor in bathroom made a banging noise and was unusable due to being blocked. Cooker hood needs repair and good clean and replacement filters. There was no soap in bathroom and only 2 hand towels, again 2 bath sheets were soon brought to us. No instructions on how to use equipment, apart from the DVD player, which was missing, so don't bring any DVDs with you.
