The house was clean, nicely decorated, and had mostly everything we needed for our break. It would have been helpful to have had a few more basic supplies provided like: washing up liquid, more than just the 2 dishwasher tablets, hand soap in the bathroom, plus there was no salt in the salt grinder, and maybe some cooking oil and extra loo rolls would have been useful. Otherwise, all really good and would be happy to stay again.

Everything was as it should be apart from the sweeping damp in all the bedroom windows and it smelt damp when we came in. House was clean and very well equipped as it was the first time around but the damp was a bit of a problem. Even keeping windows open most of the day to keep fresh air in you could still smell the damp. I think the house itâs self it wonderful but we wouldnât return purely because the damp hadnât just got there over night it had built up over time that was overlooked. Also the new bedsheets in the double room and twin room felt like they had just come out of a packet, really stiff and not comfortable at all. I feel awful for writing this but Iâm also in the tourist business myself and that wouldnât happen on my watch. Sorry

Very clean and comfortable. Kitchen very well stocked with everything you would need to self cater. Lovely location with easy access to local beaches and the lovely town of Falmouth which has lots of quirky shops and nice places to eat.
