The cottage is in a quiet location but on a reasonably good bus service route to Looe ,polperris and beyond,Angela and spouse do a superb job of maintaining the cottages and grounds,the pool is a wonderful addition to a stay there,polperris is a great place for joining the sw coastal path and we would highly recommend The House on the props for eating there,another good walk down to Looe through Trelawne holiday park and forested pathways to join west Looe river into the town.a great place for a holiday

This is the first time we have rented a small(compact) property, which was ok at first sight. We had problems with the wifi only lasting a few minutes at a time, the owner did give us another wifi connection which lasted 20/30 mins on one laptop. Couldn't connect our other laptop at the same time. bathroom heating could do with an upgrade, as only warm from the radiator. Shower pressure was weak, so couldn't enjoy very well. The cottage was clean and tidy except for dead fly's in the bathroom light. Lack of kitchen paper towels (none) and main spare bin liners, good job we had some with us. Noticed no re-cycling facilities !! strange. We thought that there was a restaurant and gym within the site ? when we first looked at booking.
