Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the property clean and well-maintained, though a few mentioned minor issues such as cobwebs and the lack of hand soap. The positive remarks far outweigh the negatives, indicating a high standard of cleanliness overall.
The location is consistently praised for its beauty and convenience, offering easy access to local attractions and beaches. The serene setting by Argal Lake is a highlight for many visitors.
Guests have commented on the comfortable beds and the cosy, homely feel of the accommodation. The spaciousness and the quality of the furnishings contribute to a very comfortable stay.
The facilities, including a private pub and games room, are generally appreciated, though some guests were disappointed with the additional charges for the hot tub and the closure of communal areas. However, the availability of a dog-friendly paddock and the overall range of amenities are seen as positive.
Several guests were touched by the thoughtful welcome basket, although it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be provided on every occasion. The hosts' readiness to offer recommendations and their overall attentiveness contribute to the sense of thoughtfulness.

Louise
The beds were super comfy as was the front room. Hot tub was great as was the games room. All facilities were good. Also, nice and warm in the accommodation. The dog running field was great. I would love to visit in the Summer and have a go on the tennis court. Good location for visiting Newquay, Mevagissey, Charlestown, Flushing etc.. Falmouth has lots of nice eateries and quirky shops. Verdant Brewery is a great spot to have a drink and pizza. The quarry for zip lining is 5 mins away which my boys enjoyed.
