Higher Close is a well-received holiday cottage in Newquay, praised for its comfortable and spacious accommodation, proximity to the beach, and beautiful garden. Guests appreciate the property's warm and cosy atmosphere, with a grand piano and sea views adding to the charm. While some minor maintenance issues were reported, the responsive staff and overall quality of the stay left guests with a positive experience.
Guests consistently described the property as clean, with mentions of lovely clean white bedding and towels. No negative comments about cleanliness were noted.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach and local amenities. However, the steep walk back from the beach was a challenge for elderly guests.
The property is repeatedly referred to as comfortable, warm, and cosy, with spacious rooms and private bedrooms. The presence of a grand piano was a highlight for some guests.
While the property is well-equipped and guests enjoyed features like the cinema projector, there were several reports of maintenance issues such as a faulty cistern and broken fridge handle. However, maintenance staff were responsive to problems.
