Marianne

We had a very comfortable stay, 5 adults & 3 dogs! Well equipped & modern bungalow. Short walk to beach and coastal path. We even walked to the pub, via the coastal path!

Lee-anne

Lovely bungalow near Porthcurno beach and the Minack theatre. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Ideal for families.

Lynne

We had a lovely holiday - thank you very much. The house is comfortable and very well equipped with good quality kitchen implements and linen. The games room is a great bonus for those with children and there are lovely games and equipment for children of all ages. The road outside to the beach is narrow and busy with no pavement for part of the walk to the beach - the parking outside the house is sloping and quite difficult - these are the only reasons I would mention to anyone intending to stay in the house ...... except ...... this is almost the only property in over 20 years of renting cottages where there was no welcome pack, insufficient toilet rolls and only 3 dishwasher tabs for the week . This felt very mean when we have paid the high season price [which we expect at peak season]. Just to say again - we had a lovely holiday - thank you.

Caroline

Cottage was perfectâ?¦. Fab location for quick beach trips and spacious. Kitchen was lovely and beds super comfy!

Ben

Fantastic house, great location only have to walk down the hill and your on one of the nicest beaches, crystal clear water and soft sand, great for swimming. The house was equipped with everything you need plenty of space and a lovely garden and decking for sunbathing. Will definitely be coming here again would reccomend to anyone thank you for a great stay

Mark

Suburb well equipped cottage

Sigrid

A lovely seaside feeling bungalow with plenty of room and well equipped situated in a superb location for visiting Cornwall, particularly from Lands End to St Ives and across from Penzance and st Michaelâ??s Mount to Kynance Cove, The Lizard and Coverack which were all easily accessible from Porthcurno. It proved to be an ideal property for several generations of family! We managed to park two vehicles on the driveway, although it can be a little bit tight. The decking was ideal for the toddler and dog to move around safely. The garden, which is safely divided from the decking, has a lovely stream so be mindful when booking with little ones or dogs! All in all a very peaceful property to stay in and we enjoyed our relaxing holiday there.
