About this property
Pier Cottage is an ‘upside down’ terraced cottage in St Mawes, just a few yards from the beach with gorgeous sea views. Brilliant for couples or small family. The living-dining room is upstairs with a pebble-effect ‘living flame’ fire and uninterrupted views of the bay; it’s as if you're looking from the bow of a ship! The kitchen is also on this level. Downstairs there are two bedrooms – a king-size double with en suite shower-room and TV and doors opening to the patio, and a twin and a family bathroom . Behind the cottage is a lovely little terraced patio garden with garden furniture, perfect for alfresco meals or just relaxing with a good book. A gem of a cottage in a lovely place for exploring rock pools and bathing, or simply soaking up the scenery.
St Mawes is a small fishing village situated on the Roseland Peninsula, part of Cornwall's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is surrounded by rocky coves, sandy beaches and lush countryside and has a notable historic castle guarding the entrance to the River Fal.

The cottage was as described, in a good position with great sea views. However, whilst we are not overly fussy and can ignore general wear and tear and tastiness, the cottage was not clean. The first thing to greet us in the kitchen was a spatula covered in old food remnants which had gone mouldy. There were several pieces of cutlery the same and the top of the cooker was dirty and covered in crumbs. There was a lot of dust and grime, and we had to get rid of many spiders. The twin bedroom was damp. I am not sure if the owners were aware of the state of things if they had used a cleaning company, but it was very disappointing.

Everything needed was provided and the view from the lounge was a delight. Some slight signs of wear and tear were evident but to be expected in a well used property. We could not agree with the negative comments posted by some previous occupants. We are a well travelled couple and are used to a good standard of accommodation. This did not disappoint.

The sofa and armchair coverings need cleaning There was no toilet roll in either toilet The large frying pan is not clean to use No washing up liquid or washing liquid 3 teabags and no coffee Condiments for cooking only salt pepper and a tiny bit of oil The fridge is noisy The carpet could do with cleaning Now in a house in Salcombe which is completely the opposite in how house keeping have looked after the property With everything necessary provided and in good order I think house keeping are letting the property down I've rented this cottage before and this time it felt that the minimum of care was taken how much to leave a toilet roll in each bathroom
