Lovely place in a nice quiet location on the holiday park. Welcome pack was a lovely touch. Kitchen is tiny but perfect for the 2 of us, may struggle if more adults were in the chalet/bungalow.Garden was perfectly big enough for our 2 dogs and secure. There is mould in the bedrooms this might effect those with breathing issues. The holiday park haRead mores clearly seen better days, there is no longer a shop on site - amusements where the shop was. The Venue bar on site was alright preferred the feel of the bar on the Seven Bays part of the site, but only went to them once. Beds comfy, plenty of hanging space in wardrobes. It was one of the cheapest options for this time of year in the area and was good for what we wanted. Hide

Spacious living/dining area, well equiped kitchen, safe dog garden. Cleanliness in bedrooms not good, mould and dust behind bed front bedroom and lot of dust behind bed back room. Shower not good and needs upgrading, bathroom generally needs tlc. Welcome pack above average. Good area for touring and plenty places to go. Response from the owner - I Read morewas very sorry to hear of the cleaning issues raised in this review. Presenting the house well is a vital part of our service to guests. The problems identified were attended to immediately and as the house is my own holiday home, I will ensure the house is ready for future guests to a standard they have every right to expect. Hide

Fantastic property. Perfect for my infirm mum and disabled sister plus EXTREMELY safe for our dogs. The house is tastefully decorated with lovely clean bed linen, very comfortable furniture and and carpeted throughout the living areas. This was a surprise as the site welcomed dogs. The carpet was spotless and the house smelt clean. On arrival we weRead morere welcomed with quality foods. Handmade bread, scones, Roddas clotted cream, jam, Cornish cookie's.i could go on! Very unexpected, very welcomed and very much enjoyed. Great location as on an estate of some bungalow and some Park Homes. The area is very quiet, residents respectful and polite and I felt very safe walking my dogs even late at night. Theres also a clubhouse which has a main bar and a sports bar, entertainment, bingo evenings, roast dinners, penny arcade for the children (& grown up children) and again, it was respectfully used and enjoyed by everyone also being totally kid and dog friendly. There was a slight issue with Wi-Fi on arrival, but after swift and effective comms, the owner sorted the problem (thank you!). I can highly recommend this accommodation. Hide

This holiday cottage is in a good location for visiting the nearby beaches and visiting other places in Cornwall. The garden is fully enclosed and private with some pretty shrubs and hedges. We did not feel it merited being classified as Four star accommodation though.

Lovely, comfortable house near to the beaches and with a good corner shop on site. The dog proof garden really is dog proof so we were able to let our greyhound have his freedom in the garden (some places say they are dog proof but don't have a gate or a high enough fence/hedge).

Great holiday bungalow for our 2 week holiday. The surprise gifts on arrival were very much appreciated. The bedrooms were very welcoming, clean and fresh. The whole place was cosy and lots of utensils to keep us going. Ideally placed near all beaches and main roads, so quiet at night and a great field for dogs on site, as well as a shop aRead morend small bar. Having a drive for our car is great as is a lovely enclosed garden which was perfectly safe for Bertie, our dog. The owner Tim was on hand if we needed anything. All in all we had a great 2 weeks and be it rain or sunshine we were very happy to come back at the end of a day to this lovely, little holiday home . Hide
