Cleanliness has been a concern for several guests, with reports of dirty fixtures and pet hair. However, some found the property clean, particularly on the top floor.
The location is generally praised for its proximity to local attractions and quiet setting, although a car is necessary for shopping and reaching the coast.
The cottage is described as comfortable and cosy, but some guests mentioned issues with low ceilings and mattress quality.
Facilities like the well-equipped kitchen and smart TV are appreciated, but there are negative comments about the AGA not being usable for cooking and minor repairs needed.

Very good cottage ideal for the Atlantic coast of Cornwall. Well sized and great to have three bathrooms. Do remember the low ceilings. Parking is tight but space for one car.

Lovely little cottage set in a small hamlet not far from Camelford. Advertised as having an AGA but it cannot be used for cooking which was a real disappointent. The top floor has a main suite with shower and bath and is very clean. The only issue with this area is the slanting roof which means you cant stand up fully when getting in/out of bed. The other disappointing thing was the lack of cleanliness on the ground floor. Dirty light fitting above the Aga, dirty doors and cups and glassses that needed washing before use. There is a parking space for one car but if you have more than one car parking is very difficult. For a couple this did however provid excellent value for money overall.
