Having read previous reviews I was very concerned about our upcoming holiday but when we arrived, I knew that I needn’t have worried. We had a wonderful stay. The property is larger than the average 2 bedroom property we have stayed in previously. The property was clean - kitchen, bathroom, and bedding all very clean. There were cobwebs in places however I feel that this is to be expected given the age of the property. The kitchen was well equipped, we had a 10 night stay and cooked most days. It was good to have a hoover. In terms of suggestions for future, a washing machine, and dishwasher would be very welcome. The location is amazing….right in the heart of Perranporth and yet lovely and quiet with enclosed gardens which my daughter and dog loved. My daughter also loved the nearby park. I would suggest that the directions to find the property are amended to include “turn right at the tennis courts” as it was incredibly difficult to find based on the instructions given. Overall, a brilliant stay and we have already rebooked for a longer stay next year.

A great location, very quiet place to stay.I wouldn't say the place is dirty. It's got cobwebs as you would expect. However bed linen wasnt clean. Pillows stained and marks on duvet covers.It was a shame there wasnt a washing machine or any way of cleaning the laminate floors. The laminate is tired and needs replacing.For a two week stay I would expect a change of towels after the first week.A thorough clean and a bit of updating would make all the difference.

Whilst the cottage is lovely it wasn’t very clean. There was a bad smell of damp and a very big ant problem. I slept in the bottom room night one but the smell of damp was awful even purchasing air freshener didn’t help. The location is perfect and it had everything you need but overall cleanliness and dampWas a turn off.
