The beds and table chairs have been replaced but the floor is lifting in the upstairs bathroom, the sink has a chip and both toilets were hard to flush at times / making weird squeaky noises after flushing. Upon arriving there were around 20 flies in the upstairs double bedroom as well as long hair as though been missed by the cleaning. The cottage was a lovely break as there was no WiFi so couldn't fault it, sadly there were no DVDs so you need to ensure your take your own. The property can hold 5 which is great for families but only provides 3 bowls so need to ensure you don't all want cereal before washing up. We really enjoyed ourselves more so as the location is perfect for us, however let down by the small little issues.

This property was not cleaned properly and it needs refurbishing. For example the light outside by the key lock wasn't working, the toilet upstairs had not been cleaned for don't know how long had to go and buy bleach as it was black all around the rim. The curtains in the double upstairs bedroom need replacing the lining was ripped and the bedding not in a good state that also was ripped. The patio seating area outside of the property is full of weeds some a foot high and is shameful compared to other properties around. Downstairs toilet has random flushing and the upstairs wash basin is cracked also needs crockery replacing as some are chipped and glasses even broke while using. Such a shame as this could be a lovely cottage but is obviously not well looked after.

Nice and cosy. Really quiet site. Away from light pollution so you can see loads of stars on a clear night! Well stocked with the essentials to put you on (toilet roll, tea, coffee, sugar and dishwasher tablets). Good location for travelling around a lot of Cornwall (Newquay, St. Ives, Lands End, Marazion). Falmouth is only a 5 minute drive down the hill, where you can hire a boat and see some big vessels in and around the harbour. We recommend checking out Swanpool beach and Gyllyngvase beach for watching the sunset or having a chippy tea/BBQ on the beach. The only downside as a family of 5 was the beds. We could have done with 3 single beds and 1 double however we had 2 double and 1 single, meaning I was sharing with our son and my wife was sharing with our daughter, leaving the other daughter to have her own bed.. no real problem though. Will be looking to book again in the future!
