  Stayed here with family ranging from 78 to 11 years and the dog for a week during February half term.

  On arrival a beautiful welcome hamper that was much appreciated. Staples in cupboards and jars that was simply brilliant too. Lounge area open and welcoming and the upstairs lounge has a TV and equally comfortable furniture. The fire log burner is a brilliant addition and makes it lovely and cosy. Lovely secluded garden that's safe for the dog to go out in. We arrived in the middle of Storm Eunice leading into storm Franklin and any previous damage was unseen and tidied away by the housekeeper. Sadly during our stay we came home to a powercut - no ones fault just one of those things. The owner of the property had already contacted us on arrival to make sure everything was fine and I let him know when the power went off. He was so brilliant and did everything he could, even though the power cut was out of his hands. Superb host - thank you so much Neil. We ate at the local Combe Barton Inn which had beautiful food and welcoming staff and is also dog friendly. The Cabin Cafe was also a delight and is highly recommended- they were also super lovely during the power cut and provided bacon rolls and hit drinks to the local community. There is a little beach down there too which is very pretty. Next door to the house is a crackington shop ..very small, staffed by locals but very well stocked for all essentials. If I had one criticism it would be the showers ..... they are electric and the intermittent hot and cold water and lack of water pressure can be amnoying ....but first world problems !! Didn't detract from the wonderful time we had but would be nice if they were upgraded to be 5* like the rest of the property. The house is situated in a beautiful village within walking distance if the beach, although its an EXTREMELY steep hill back up !! It is quite far off the beaten track so a good 15-20 minutes to the nearest town. Thank you Neil we gad a wonderful time and you were an amazing host. Would recommend to any large families wanting a laid back, comfortable break.

  Just return from a lovely week away with our family however the accommodation was disappointing.

  It was definitely not a 5 star property would rate nearer a 3 star compared to the property we stayed in last year. It needed to be deep cleaned right through, the extra cleaning for Covid of wiping down door handles with bacterial spray is good but the whole place was dusty and hadn't been cleaned through for a while you could tell by cobwebs in areas and dirt under furniture. Some of the bathrooms were not cleaned to a normal standard with one of showers been dirty and a few of the toilets not fully cleaned.The blinds on the back door were covered in some kind of stain or dirt which looked awful. We had an issue with closing the back patio door so didn't use it after the 2nd day. The standard of the pans was below a 3 star and not what we expected. Lots of things needed updating and were showing signs of wear and tear not expected in a 5 star property. Some things mentioned in reviews 2 years ago not been touched like the garden furniture and the back decking area steps need fixing which could be dangerous. Someone commented on the handsets for the gamers not working which we managed to fix a couple so they could be used. The size of the property was good however not a big enough area to sit more people on sofas downstairs to relax whilst the kids were in the garden. Good location for the area and sightseeing and a good play park for the kids behind the house.

  The house layout was great, it accommodated 7 adults, 1 infant and small dog great.

  There is lots of snagging and unsightly things - horrendous mould problem, damp walls, broken door handles, decking to the main door is slippery. The main feedback I’d give the owner is - if you’re paying a cleaner/care taker, they are not doing what you’re paying for. The house was not clean/dusted. The floors dont seem to get mopped, our infant walked around for a matter of minutes on arrival and his hands and feet were black! There is thick dust everywhere, huge dusty cobwebs (been there some time!), mould - worst in the top right front bedroom. I have taken lots of photos for the owner. The inside of the oven and microwave were revolting - we couldn’t use them it was disgusting. Even the cushions on the dining chairs were unclean. The house was so dusty it had 2 hayfever sufferers sneezing constantly - only in the house though, We found the fireplace surround and the fact the doors to the conservatory dont lock a hazard for our infant. Only sofa seats for 5 or 6 max when property sleeps up to 10. Meant 2 of us were on hard dining chairs every night. The beds were super comfy and decent bedding & towels provided. You could get passed the snagging but Cleanliness really lets this property down.

  First of all, this property is beautiful, set in a quiet area with stunning views from the upstairs living room.

  All the beds were super comfy and the secure garden meant that our pooches couldn't escape. A very comfortable space with all the things from home you'd expect to find in the kitchen drawers! If it's on, we recommend the farmers/craft market next door at the Institue on a Sunday. We bought loads of tasty goodies here and also won a prize on the tombola. We kept the bird bath topped up all week and had so many birds taking advantage of the water. We briefly met Neil the owner, lovely guy too! Constructive criticism:- 1. The grass had been cut but the clippings had been left which meant that every time we walked outside during the morning, the dewy grass was walked in the house (obviously, the dogs never wipe their feet). 2. Some big old cobwebs in the skylight going up the stairs. Not a huge issue i know but some attention to detail is being missed here. 3. The back door (by the washing machine) was almost impossible to lock. Definitely needs some attention as when we arrived it looked locked but wasn't. Would i recommend Penhaven - absolutely! We had a fantastic holiday and having such a beautiful place to come back to made all the difference.
