Lovely walks in summer time. Approach a bit narrow and bumpy. The only noise was the wind in trees and river opposite the front door,

Security light outside front bedroom with only window in was regularly going on early hrs off the morning and was quite bright, had to put a blanket up over the curtains to block it out. Fair bit of noise from above where running across flooring, flushing off toilet early and late hrs (myself would not flush after 10pm out of consideration), could also actually hear people going toilet, some lovely nearby walks though and friendly residents/holidayers, once across busy stretch across the road it was a short walk down to penzance promenade and town, more practical for someone who drives to be able to go to the shops etc. Was still a welcome break. Thank you.
