Providing a perfect quiet get away in a beautiful surroundings just minutia from the beach. Extremely helpful and attentive hosts. Will definitely look to return in the near future. Many thanks again.

The furniture is well-worn now and could at least be cleaned. Several things were broken like a shower head and a window, which we were not told about before we went. The general presentation was nice, but again, let down by the cleaning standard. We did raise these points with the owner and they agreed, and plan repairs with better checks before guest arrival. The steps down to the cottage could be tricky for some and there is quite a big speed bump to the car park. It is away from any road noise and is warm with plenty of hot water.

The cottage and its facilites were faultless. Set in lovely grounds and peaceful setting just a stones throw from the beautiful Perranporth and St Agnes. The hot tub was a bonus after a days exploring. The owners always on hand if there were any issues. The cottage was clean and comfortable and would definitely recommend it.
