Great bathroom. Comfortable beds with quality linen. Cosy sitting area. Small dining area , would be quite tight for four adults. The listing doesn't show there is no window or natural light in the second bedroom . However, the room is spacious. There is no outside space to sit , a very narrow hard standing, which would be very difficult for a large car or SUV. The lane is private and narrow with no turning space! The flat is under the owners living accommodation . Personally, I think somewhere to hang wet coats and dirty footwear is more practical and useful than a woodburner especially as the heating was on very high and you're unable to adjust it. ! When the temperature outside rose we were uncomfortably hot. This is a sweet place and great for couple's and walkers! Perfect for summer breaks .

It is well designed and a perfect base for walking to Penzance and Newlyn. It is even nicer than the online pictures suggest. The flat was warm and welcoming and the owners, who were away, were contactable on a 'ring' doorbell for our one question. It was really nice there were back before we left so we could tell them how much we enjoyed ourselves. We will be rebooking for next year. Thank you.

Beautiful location, lovely cream tea on arrival. Accommodation was lovely our only complaint really was the timer settings on the heating system. The heating went on too early in the morning for us and we were woken up from being too hot, and it went off too early in the evening so we had to light the fire to stay warm (which was lovely but seemed a waste). Not having the option to control the times we had the heating on and off was the only notable criticism in a otherwise wonderful stay.
