The house was spotlessly clean and the bed was really comfortable as were the sofas. The kitchen had all the equipment you would need and the welcome pack was a nice touch.The location was really good and bonus was the pub only 3 mins. walk with good food.Also found netflix and amazon prime came in very handy when weather was rainy(3 days). would come back again and recommend Dune Haven to all.

The cottage was very clean and tidy with a safe garden for pets. Well equipped kitchen and nicely decorated throughout. There's a excellent little supermarket and a nice pub close by. Bus stop just out on the main road. Also, there is a lovely walk called 'All Saints Trail' that follows a disused railway to Perranporth. Will definitely be back.
