Lovely spacious house and garden , short term parking to unload was fine and plenty of parking in adjoining streets. Excellent location with local pub serving lovely food. Bus stop outside the house to various places and train station ten minutes walk away, so we didn’t have to use our cars very much. Would definitely stay again .

We had a lovely holiday at Ivy Mount despite the rain! We found it clean, comfortable and well equipped. We were a little unsure about not having a dedicated parking space outside however we didn't have any problems at all with finding a spot nearby. Porthkidney beach was lovely and just a short walk away, perfect for Treacle's morning dog walk.

We appreciated the time and effort put into this property to make for a lovely stay which we had. There are improvements in terms of tinkering with property 1. Outside light on the wall to cover the bottom lawn with help to go down the stone steps. 2. The shower room is excellent but was frightened of smashing the door against the sink - rubber sucker put on. 3. Don’t know whether the bath is necessary but option of another shower ? Having to walk through the kitchen might not be ideal with many adults. 4. Knives need sharpening. The last point and which really annoyed me was the parking by people not adhering to the car park notice. Cars parked and never moved. Not the owners responsibility but affects selection of a property Overall these are minor points but great stay and would stay again.
