The tops of the headboards were dusty and they need cleaning between the slats behind the top of the mattress where there is a gap that is full of dust and other peoples hair. We experienced the most uncomfortable pillows we have ever come across in our lives! They were completely unacceptable. I understand you canât please everyone but these pillows were the worse Iâve ever come across in my life! Other than that we loved the cottage and location but bear in mind the cottages are not very sound proof and you are easily disturbed by activities in and around other cottages. Slightly overpriced for the general quality. Wonderful stream and easy location for the StKew and Atlantic highways.

2. It stated 2 parking space for cars but there is only one. 3. The bathroom upstairs could not be used as the shower was to low down and we had to use the wet room downstairs for showering. 4. Although there is a wet room you have to go round the table to gain access. If disabled would not be able to get into the wet room. 5. There was only jus enough, plates, cutlery, etc. Could do with more as had to put dishwasher on in the morning and evening. 6. Outside area would benefit from having a bar-be-que area like the property next door. 7. Property is not suitable for 6 adults.

..could not really sit 6 people round dinning table and on lounge sofas. Wet room could do with thorough clean however generally cleanliness and cleaning team are excellent. Nicely furnished, great location and ideal place for visiting Cornwall.
