Furzeburrow is a very unique property. It is non traditional construction a type of pre fab. The interior decoration and furniture and fittings are partially built into the property so would cause problems if any modernisation took place. So with this in mind it helps to understand the property.The size of all the rooms is surprising a bit tardis like. The beds are comfy and everything you need is there.The following 2 items could be looked into but did not spoil our holiday. Some of the kitchen bits ie pans need updating and the sitting room curtains need repairs or replacement.Our week there saw us experience heavy rain and stormy winds but the house remained warm and cozy. The view is the best I can remember

Furzeburrow is a quirky, homely place ,set in a peaceful location. The village has a small, but good selection of shops, including a pharmacy which we needed due to forgetting medication! It also has a fine gallery and gym which our teenage son made use of. We found local people very friendly and helpful. The view from Furzeburrow is truly mesmerising and we could have sat for hours gazing out at the rocks in the Atlantic ocean! It inspired ny husband to draw a picture overlooking such a beautiful, calm environment. We enjoyed walking down to the local beach for a swim, although quite rocky in places,there are calmer sandy coves. Beautiful coastal paths on our doorstep. We just ran out of time to explore further. The owners of Furzeburrow live nearby and are available if you need anything They kindly posted back an item which we left behind! They also sell homemade cornish fudge which is ideal for presents. Overall a great place to get away from it all. X
