The cottage was in a lovely location, within walking distance of a private beach. We found it to be very clean with all the things you need readily available in it on arrival. Duporth is in a perfect location for exploring Cornwall.

Had a good holiday with excellent weather. Unfortunately there was scaffolding on the rear of the building when we visited and the garden was unusable, otherwise I would have rated the flat as 5star.
