Great touches of welcome packs from the owners and from Beach Retreats. Looking to book again next year.

It was so nice to be able to take a very short walk for an early morning swim . My whole family really enjoyed their stay. Having the train just a short walk away was perfect to nip into St Ives or Penzance. the train pulls in slow so noise was not a problem at all, it is also a beautiful coastal trip. One very minor issue for us was the down stairs bathroom door handle came off in my son's hand but that is easy fixed. All in all it was well worth the visit and I would definitely take my family there again. many thanks.

We had a lovely stay and everything you need for a weeks stay was provided. Location is fantastic, the train to St Ives a stone throw away. Thank you for a fantastic stay!
