Along with our house cats, who we appreciated being able to stay with us. The house is comfortable, warm ( you can adjust the radiators to suit), and plenty of hot water. The downstairs living space is nice ,with a very large screen TV and a modern kitchen. WiFi was easy to use. We cooked Christmas dinner with no issues. Our house cats were safely limited to the living area, which had large patio doors to view the garden. There is parking in a covered car port right outside the front door. We know Hayle, and it was great to be able to walk to many facilities in the town. We would recommend, and hopefully will be back for another stay.

Most of the facilities/equipment were fine. Like other Reviewers we'd have appreciated an additional comfy seat in the lounge. Also an occasional table for the settee area. Main concern was the dangerous toilet seats! All three were loose and slid side to side. Your Cleaner MUST have known about this so it was totally irresponsible to allow guests in to use the property with them like that, resulting in a finger injury to my right hand, and lucky you that no more serious injuries resulted, especially with an 80 year old in our party. To your credit, the seats were rectified the following day, but only after the stress of my having to contact you, through your emergency number....and an email. It is also a fact that by the time guests have occupied the properties you manage, often on a Friday, and discovered problems, your office is closed....for the weekend! It was a nice touch to find various spices & condiments in the kitchen cupboard & the makings for a cream tea. Nice.
