The cottage itself is quaint and well furnished with quality furniture and furnishings, bright and on the smaller size for a maximum of six people. Unfortunately we had a few problems on arrival, none of the electrics were working, including the fridge. We had to work out that the major fuse had tripped and been left off. The dishwasher was broken and not fixed until the Thursday. The garden furniture was dirty and rusty, and although the cushions were in a box for the furniture, it wasn't waterproof, so were soaking wet and stained. So the garden furniture was not able to be used for the whole week. The biggest problem is the parking. It states in the advertisement, " unload at the end of the road, then park next to the Chapel if space available", We did this, and found the next morning one of the local residents had put a fake Parking Ticket on our car. We then went out to come back to the spaces having parking cones blocking us from parking. These spaces are not reserved, but the local residents expect you not to park in them, and get very irate if you do. Parking is extremely difficult on a very steep hill, so if you have mobility or health problems, this probably isn't the place for you, which should be mentioned in the Holiday Brochure. There were some minor cleaning issues with dirty cutlery and pans and a very dusty TV. A guide with how appliances work would be a very useful addition. The cream tea provided was a nice thought and appreciated. The local shop and hotel also provide a very good service. Overall the cottage was a nice place with outstanding views, but would I return, probably not.

There is everything you need. Having a washer and a dishwasher was a bonus as a family of 5. The bedrooms were also really comfortable and we all slept so well. I asked for a cot last minute and this was provided. We knew the parking situation and did feel slightly anxious about it as a family with lots of equipment we were carting about but it was actually fine. First night it was raining heavy so we paid £8 to park in the pub but you can buy a drink and get a partial refund. Then every other night we found somewhere to park within a very short walk. Coverack is a lovely village, really picturesque. The beach is lovely and there is a little cove at the other side of the cottage too. Really nice walks which werenât too technical, our two year old managed the coastal path down to the cove. Lots of amenities close by too, pub, cafe, shop, chippy, pizza - what more do you need? Also lots of other things to do around Helston like Flambards and the steam railway. Really nice locals as well - I lost my purse on the harbour one night and within 1 hour it was returned to me. Just a really friendly place and great for families who want to be away from the hustle and bustle of large busy towns but still plenty to do - we will definitely return!

Nicely appointed accommodation, very functional kitchen, tidy and clean bathrooms. Gorgeous coast walk starts right at the front door step, taking you all the way to Kennack Sands and beyond. Local shop with for all self-catering needs, good pub if not in a mood to cook. All around the perfect holiday home.
