While some guests find the property dated, the charm and tranquility, along with a good internet connection, contribute to a pleasant stay.
Guests generally find the cottage clean, with one mentioning it was very clean. However, there are comments about a bathroom cabinet not being cleaned inside, which suggests room for improvement.
The location is highly appreciated for its quietness, proximity to the coast, and beautiful surroundings, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
The cottage is described as comfortable and well-organised, with a cosy atmosphere. However, some guests note the modest size and suggest that space could be better utilised.
The property is well-equipped for a holiday stay, but several reviews point out that it could benefit from updates and maintenance, particularly in the garden and with the provision of modern amenities like a smart TV.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owners, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

The property is rather isolated but on a road and within a few minutes of the Porth Gain. There are two other rentals on the same site, the Bickney being the largest. Parking on site. It has everything you need for a normal holiday including a few portable heaters for when the weather changes. The kitchen equipment was generous.
