About this property
In the heart of Coverack, one of Cornwall's prettiest villages, just a stone's throw from the beach and harbour is April Cottage. This idyllic 18th century cottage has been beautifully renovated to blend seamlessly original charm with stylish, modern comforts. Well suited for simply relaxing, the warm and inviting sitting room has pretty window seats and a wood burner sits within the huge stone inglenook. The smart kitchen features exposed stone walls, a useful utility area and a door which leads to the garden. On the first floor are four attractive bedrooms: a king size double with sea views and an en suite shower-room. A second double and two single rooms share a family bathroom. Outside, from the elevated terraced garden (22 steep steps up from back door), which has a decked area with table, chairs and a BBQ, are super sea views and a gate leading to the Coast Path. Within the village are a little harbour and a beach with low-tide sand. Nearby, it is possible to try your hand at windsurfing, snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing. Further afield, the seal sanctuary at Gweek, and the larger town of Helston with its family theme park are both great ways to spend a day.
Coverack is a small fishing village on the Lizard Peninsula, a few miles from Lizard Point in Cornwall, the most southerly point on mainland Britain. Coverack is a beautiful and peaceful place to escape the main tourist routes and offers a beach in the sheltered bay, which is ideal for swimming, windsurfing and kayaking, as well as shops, a Post Office, pub and restaurants.

Some sharp bits on the stairs as tacks were exposed where carpet no longer sticks. These were the only issues, we found it a Lovely cottage and great location.

This was an important requirement because of my wifeâs mobility problems. On first attempt to use the shower the day after our arrival, the shower head was found to be leaning on the wall and upon first adjustment, the holding bracket fell apart. This was nothing to do with any mishandling on our behalf and it was simply not fit for purpose from the start of our visit and invalidated using the shower. Fortunately, there was another shower in the family bathroom that we had to use instead. I contacted the owner and informed him of the problem, and he seemed apologetic and grateful of the information. He then told me that scaffolding would be erected during our stay to do some work on the chimney. I was surprised that this was not mentioned when we initially booked the property. We had to leave a day early because of a domestic situation at home but the inconvenience of the scaffolding erection meant that we had to leave two days early. Furthermore, the mirror in the ensuite shower room was missing, although the brackets were still there. I trust the owner is not blaming us for that as well! So, imagine my indignant surprise on receipt of your email about the owner claiming that the property was left in in a poor state of repair. It was in POOR REPAIR when we arrived. Please do not attempt to deduct any money from my account because of a poorly maintained property. I appreciate Sykes Cottages is a professional company and that you will relay this conversation back to the owner. Sincerely Colin Threadgill PS: The dead & dying tulips on our arrival together with the non-functioning DVD player didnât raise our hopes on day 1 but we refrained from putting any derogatory comments in the visitorâs book as a show of good will. RE: 4K52U-23-EN I trust this message finds you well. Following the notification from the property owner and claims of the property left in a poor state of repair on your departure.
