Enjoyed the views and quality of the appliances within the property. The property is accurately described. Although my wife and I have mobility issues we were able to cope with the stairs both inside and outside the property. The geography OUTSIDE the boundaries present challenges with steep and narrow roads however. Having walked down the road and footpath, with difficulty, to the quay we were unable to book a taxi for the return and were ârescuedâ by a local resident. Be warned. VERY MINOR gripes. Sofas in the lounge were on the low side for getting in to and out of, a higher seated chair would be of benefit to more elderly guests. TV, I could not, try as I might, to remove subtitles from screen. I am not an electronic genius I will admit. I must emphasise that overall the property is excellent.

The morning views from the bedroom were fantastic. Top location, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is more than sufficiently equipped: hats off! The wheelie bin had not been emptied on arrival, the seagulls found their way to the bin and our carsâ¦â¦ Problem was solved the same day. It would be very nice if it were possible to recharge electric cars, the installation is now not available to guests. Recharging in Cornwall is a bit of a problem. We hope to be back one day, thank you!
