Overall a lovely stay. The sea views were lovely and the location is ideal to drive to sites and walks across Cornwall, as well as the local beach. The flat was clean and set up all ready for us. New washing up liquid and hand soap in the kitchen, as well as clean crockery (important as we have allergies in the family!) The fridge had plenty oRead moref space and the window seat was a lovely touch and great spot for looking out to sea. The heater in the main bedroom didn't work and when we reported it, they offered to come and sort it the very next day. The allocated parking is down an alley which is difficult to get into/out of via forward and reverse bay parking. We drove a Vauxhall Zafira and struggled to park in the allocated space. We ended up using a space in the same area that happened to be unoccupied during our stay - the area is allocated for 3 cars - 2 are for holiday flats and 1 for a local resident. To get out of the parking space, we had to drive further down the alley and use someone else's driveway to turn around in. If you own anything larger than a Mini or a Smart car, you will struggle to park here!! Hide

There was such a gap between all the welcoming words in the messages beforehand and the reality when we got there that was no soap and only one toilet roll - for four people for a week?! Such a small outlay on those two things, and maybe a couple of tea bags and some milk, would have made the flat genuinely welcoming. It felt mean-spirited, which iRead mores a pity as its a nice flat and the beds were comfortable. Hide

Great apartment in perfect location a few minutes from the beach. Note that the parking is via an unmade road to the rear and is very tight. Difficult in an X1, anything bigger I think youd need to park elsewhere
