Great hideaway cottage in central location! Very cosy, and compact, with everything you need for a great holiday. Stairs are steep, our dog would not come down them. Bedroom is small, but comfy. We had a fabulous time, with shops and restaurants on doorstep. Parking can be difficult, but that's StIves!

What a stunning place to stay. The attention to detail and styling is second to none. Romantic , peaceful and in a perfect area. Very comfortable all round, very clean ( thank you) . We parked in the Barnoon car park for the week at 26.30 . Which is a 10 Min walk away. Fore st is a few yards away , so straight into a Cornish delight of shops, puRead morebs, Jazz bar, delis, fashion, sweets , arty , cafes etc etc. restaurants are abundant . So sit back and enjoy the beach, trips and walks. 5*** The goodies left were delicious thank you. Tea , special Coffee, Sugar, milk and biscuits. Very nice indeed. We have been truly spoilt on this holiday. Hide

The shower was good but a little snug and wouldnt be suitable if you were too tall.The decore was very quirky.Sometimes the one light by the property didnt always come on when it was dark so you did have to be very careful if you had been out.

It was charming, well equipped and clean. A note for owner: there is a slate hanging precariously right over the front door which could cause serious damage if it falls off onto someone's head. Another slate fell off the roof in front of the dog groomer next door. The gutters need cleaning out. When it rains it's like walking through a waterfall wRead morehen entering and exiting property.
