Could've done with a blind for the front door as it let the dawn light in at 4am & were worried about messing up the flooring as the bathroom door caught on it, but they were minor things & we did have a great time there !

We love to be close to Portowan Beach and close enough for us to visit St Ives and this year we went Strawberry picking and visited Truro. The hut has everything we need and in lovely surroundings
