Beautiful comfortable cottage in a stunning location. Lovely cosy feel and comfortable.Good house keeping always spotless on arrival. Very convenient as bus stop outside to travel to St Ives and Penzance without worrying about parking. Opposite Geevor Tin mine which has an amazing cafe that does the best cooked breakfast and lunches. Stunning walks down to the lighthouse and surrounding coast. Very friendly unspoilt village. Highly recommended.

From the moment you walked through the door you felt at home. It has been decorated to a high standard and so comfortable to chill out in. There has been a lot of thought on how to make this a wonderful holiday experience. It is also a really good location for exploring west Cornwall.

Perfect location for us as we love the North cornish coast. It was comfortable with good facilities. We could have done with a couple of tea towels and a dishcloth. It's a personal preference but I prefer not to use a dishwasher. The only thing we didn't like was that the cottage was not very clean. It was "superficially" clean. Dust, dog hair (?), cobwebs covered skirting boards, surfaces and in corners.The floors had only been swept/washed where you could see. There were drips of toothpaste/water down the front of the washstand cabinet in the bathroom. If it had just been one or two things - it could have been overlooked, but it was very noticeable. It's a shame. Lovely cottage. It didn't ruin our experience, we had a lovely time. But it was bad enough to mention it.
