Returned to this property for the second time , we first stayed here in 2011. Everything was the same except the covers on the sofas which used to be blue , but it didnt seem dated or tired . Very comfortable beds which did have mattress toppers on . Its very well equipped for a family , easy to unload outside and the parking space is close by. IRead moret was very handy for the beaches with porthgwidden and the harbour less than a minutes walk away . The island which is a grassy area behind the beach was ideal for playing ball games with the dog . Hide

The cottage is located in an excellent location close to a number of beaches. Super car parking space allocated and the cottage is well equipped. I would not hesitate to recommend if the shortfalls are addressed that I have highlighted to Holiday cottages.

We couldnt work the fire, the pilot light didnt seem to be working. Or maybe it was just us. We found the cottage to be really comfortable and the location is great.
