The actual place was clean and fresh looking. All the facilities that you needed were there and the log fire was great for heating up the living area in the evening. We had no problem with the parking outside the cottage. The local area was good with a variety of places close by where you could eat/drink. Discovered the Tideline Cafe on the last morning, would highly recommend. Overall we (2 adults and 2 dogs) had a great week there.

Cottage was well equipped and the welcome pack was a nice edition. Beds are comfortable, only change would be the windows are large openers so couldnât sleep with them open being on the ground floor. They could do with a locking chain like hotel windows have. Upstairs lounge & kitchen was a nice space, did however have an odour. Smelt a bit like stale cigarette smoke. It soon went once windows were opened. The cottage is perfect for the beautiful beach at Godrevy, brilliant for surf and bodyboarding. National trust with a super independent coffee van on the beach. We did two lovely walks from the cottage, first from Portreath over the coastal path to Porthtowan and the second up through the woods to Illogan along the coast path and back into Portreath over the headland. Chinese takeaway is really nice down by the bridge. Thank you for a lovely holiday and we were lucky with the sunny weather!

Lovely location although I think we presumed from the photos it was closer to the beach. However, the location being walkable to the woods & beach was ideal. There was a lovely little starter pack when we arrived & all the communication make arrival very easy. Only downside was the smell of damp downstairs (but I assume this is something quite hard to rectify). Overall we were delighted with our stay & would definitely recommend this cottage.
