The small village of Germoe is close to Praa Sands, on the south coast of Cornwall, between Helston and Marazion. Praa Sands is known for its mile-long sandy beach and excellent surfing conditions. There is a bar/restaurant overlooking the beach, a Post Office and general stores, a beach/surf shop stocked with everything you could need for a great day at the beach and much more. Just inland from the beach is Pengersick Castle, the tower of which dates back to the 16th century. The house at Pengersick is rumoured to be the birthplace of John Carter, the self-styled King of Prussia and a tunnel which leads from the house to the beach was apparently once used by smugglers.

The property was an excellent base for our family to be together.We had come to Cornwall for a family wedding which meant we didnât spend a lot of time at the house but if you wanted to relax it was great to do just that. The house was immaculate with super modern facilities and had a lovely ambiance to it. Thank you Charlotte.

The location is fantastic, with many great places to visit within a 15-45 minute drive. I stayed here with a group of friends last week, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room for all of us â five adults and a pup. The property was spotless, and the bedrooms were beautifully decorated to a high standard. Each room had a large TV & the most comfortable bed, although we spent most of our time in the main lounge socialising and relaxing in front of the fire. I stayed in the master bedroom, and I loved watching the sunsets from there every eveningâit was quite special. The kitchen is well equipped, though I personally prefer induction hobs over gas (Iâm a bit useless with gas hobs, and to me, induction glass hobs are much easier to clean). That said, the gas hobs provided were excellent quality, so thereâs no issue, just a personal preference. I also loved the fact that the property is all on one level with a thoughtful layout. As Iâm currently recovering from a broken leg, this was incredibly helpful. The garden was well-maintained, though not enclosed (as described on Sykes). This wasnât an issue for us, as our dog is well-trained and well-behaved. The Shark vacuum cleaner was a nice touch too, especially as Iâm a bit of a clean freak! We had a couple of minor issues during our stay, but Charlotte and Paul were fabâ One issue was resolved very swiftly and they kept us updated throughout. They even came to the property to apologise in person, which they didnât need to at all but very much appreciated. The other issue was that the main door (lock) to the decking was broken by the guests who stayed the week before us. However, we didn't let that bother us, as the weather in November was quite cold and damp anyway, so we didnât spend much time outside. The water pressure at the property is amazingâprobably the best in the country, resulting in an incredible shower experience everyday! Overall, Iâd happily rate this property 10 out of 10. As mentioned, the faulty door lock didnât bother us, and the other issue was resolved quickly, so it didnât cause any inconvenience. We would definitely consider staying here again if we return to the area :)
