Very comfortable and clean with excellent views from top floor. Very straightforward booking process!
September 28, 2024This is our 2nd stay. We returned partly for the price and partly for proximity to the town and Porthmeor Beach. Practical, functional and clean. Kitchen well equiped if small. Lacking in personality compared to other cottages though.
September 7, 2024A lovely property, a very short walk away from the harbour and town (a couple of minutes maximum). Difficulty with car parking, but this was made clear before booking.
