Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, good power of shower. Nice view of estuary, though would recommend cleaning the bird deposits off the windows to help enjoyment of this.

Beautiful cottage - everything that's needed is there - stunning location and views. The pontoon makes boating so easy and therefore trips up the estuary and to Fowey or round the coast. Always one of our favourite places and holidays in the world!

Everything was great, had everything we needed, though the carpets had not been vacuumed in the master bedroom at the end of the bed, there was a pebble from the path . The floor in front of the armchair had black fluff from someones socks on it which I scraped up with a coaster. The bathroom had shower gel on the tiles, which made me wonder how clRead moreean it was, though it looked fairly good. I did take my own cleaning products in case. Beds were comfy and clean. Blinds let in too much light . Hide

The beds are terribly uncomfortable and gave us painful backs every morning. We complained to Management Services back in June, but nothing was done about it. A modern comfortable mattress is essential. The tv is old and should be replaced with a smart tv. The cleaner does a good job in keeping the place clean, many thanks. A double Air Fryer wouldRead more save a lot of energy. Hide
