The accommodation was clean, modern and nicely furnished and the host was friendly and helpful. The private garden was perfect for my dogs and the bean to cup coffee machine was a welcome addition.

Everything was perfect. Top marks to Chris, the owner, for amazing attention to detail. Everything you need is provided and the coffee machine and shower deserve special mentions! Just wow! Beautiful Swanpool Lake and beach are on your doorstep and the private, enclosed garden was perfect for Ruby dog. We left the car behind some days and walked the coastal path into Falmouth/Pendennis Point/Maenporth beach amongst other places. The Trellowarren Arms does a fantastic Sunday lunch and we had a gorgeous meal at the Gylly Beach cafe, which we walked to several times from the apartment, along the coast path. So many little bays around the coast, with cafes, bars and toilets in each. We had the best week; the sun shone and the area is just beautiful. We will definitely be back.
