Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as clean and tidy, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that guests appreciate.
The location is praised for its beautiful views and proximity to the beach, although the difficult access road and challenging walk to the beach for some individuals slightly detract from the score.
The property is spacious and generally comfortable, but the lack of wardrobes, the unbearable heat in the conservatory, and the steep stairs without a safety gate for children affect the comfort level for some guests.
While the hot tub and provided baby items are positives, the absence of promised amenities, maintenance issues, and inadequate kitchen facilities lead to a lower score in this category.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Coverack is a tiny fishing community on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula, not far from Britain's most southern tip, Lizard Point. With its sheltered bay beach perfect for swimming, windsurfing, and kayaking, as well as its shops, pub, and restaurants, Coverack is a beautiful and peaceful place to escape the main tourist routes. St. Keverne is 4 miles from Poldowrian and offers a Post Office, as well as shops and two pubs. The Lizard Peninsula is home to some of the world's most unique and beautiful geology and flora, as well as numerous picturesque coves and beaches. The cliffs at Lizard Point, battered by the sea and the wind, offer spectacular views and great hiking along this section of the South West Coast Path. Helston, an inland market town, hosts the annual Flora Day Festival, and Gweek is home to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. The fun of Flambards can be reached in under half an hour, and the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy can be seen in action once a year at the Culdrose Airfield, which is less than ten miles away. Coverack's location makes it convenient to visit the rest of the Lizard Peninsula, including its many beaches and quaint towns like St. Ives and Falmouth.

Lorna
The 0.7 mile drive from the property is extremely bumpy / uneven and not one youâd want to do very often during your startâ¦.and we had a Jeep Wrangler. When the weather is as hot as it was during our visit, the conservatory is unbearable, blinds are needed here as well as in the living area. Handing areas are need, no where to hang clothes on the bedroom, no where to hang towels in the bedrooms/ bathrooms and no toilet roll holders. The walk down to the beach in inaccessible for some individuals, those with disabilities or elderly with walking issue, breathing difficulties will not cope well at all. The induction job is a nightmare, and very inconsistent temperamental. The oven also takes an extremely long time to come to temperature.

Cottage easy to use and all ran smoothly. Only comment is that crockery was fine for us as we were 4 - would have been tougher for a larger group, especially the champagne glasses!
