Lovely cottage felt very homily with lots of quirky touches. The rooms were very clean and well presented, very friendly host and extremely well equipped. We had a lovely stay with a large family and all very much enjoyed ourselves. There was plenty of space for us all to be together which was amazing. Would highly recommended for large family get togethers 😊 well worth the money.

Lovely, slightly quirky, cottage in an ideal location just over 5 mins away from Porthtowan Beach.Finn & Marnie were very friendly and helpful hosts. Lending us their eclipse glasses was beyond the call of duty!

The cottage was an ideal base but with no downstairs toilet, it was awkward for my elderly mother, how has trouble walking,as she had to keep going to her room, upstairs. It would have been nice to know how close the industrial units were, but noise from them was minimal. I recommend it for people 30 - 50 or younger. We did have a slight fly problem (may just be the time of year) and possibly some fly curtains could have been fitted. In general clean and tidy with ample kitchen equipment and utensils. The rooms were comfortable and adequate.
