The majority of guests commend the property for its outstanding cleanliness, with several reviews highlighting this aspect positively. A few guests noted minor issues such as cobwebs and greasy oven fittings, but these appear to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Padstow's centre, the convenience of a nearby Tesco, and the ease of access to local attractions. The hill on the return walk is mentioned, but it does not detract significantly from the location's appeal.
Guests find the property comfortable, with several reviews mentioning the quality of the beds and the cosiness of the living space. Some suggest that the property is more suited to smaller groups and that larger beds would enhance comfort.
The cottage is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as a broken fridge, low shower pressure, and dated decor. The absence of a dishwasher is noted, and while not a deal-breaker, it is a facility that some guests missed.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

A dead spider on top of the shower unit wouldnât see unless in shower. I do agree that the settees arenât very comfortable, shame there not the ones on the photos. But we still enjoyed staying there, this is our second year staying at the cottages, neighbours are friendly. Lovely selection of books and DVDs. So close to Tescos which is a bonus. Definitely stay there again hopefully next year. The drive is a little tight at top manoeuvring to turn the car around.
