Mr Batten
This is a lovely cottage that we have been returning to over a number of year. It has a great location with lovely sea views and parking for a single car on a road on which it would otherwise be be difficult to park. It has a well equipped kitchen for when we want to cook in but easy access to a good range of resturants and pubs around the harbour when we don't. The main downside to this cottage is that is now starting to look tired and in need of some well deserving TLC.

We had a fabulous stay at St Michaels and we were sorry to have to leave, it was a good base for all we wanted to do and allowed us to relax in a beautiful setting with all the comforts of home.

Location, availability of a parking space, and view from garden was excellent. Walks locally are beautiful. Local shops very good. Property itself was tired and could do with decorating and updating (leaking taps etc) and 2 days of managing the leaking kitchen window should not be a part of a holiday. No internet/Wi-Fi for the weeks holiday which was known about before we arrived but not communicated to us. Welcome pack of a small amount of milk and coal/logs would have been helpful to tide you over first night, as would instructions on how to operate heaters, kitchen one never did work. Check out time was 10am however cleaner knocking on door before this time!! Overall we had a lovely holiday due to location
