We had to do a lot of cleaning on our arrival with my pregnant wife and 2 young kids. Rooms were all dusty and there were dirty towels in the wardrobe. Pots and pans are all really old, not that expensive to replace so hopefully te owner will take this on board. Headboards are stained. Toaster was very rusty but thankfully the owner gave us a new one aftwr we complained. Fridge has a strong smell and is very dirty and rusty outside. The hoover was not emptied and had a really strong smell when used. There is no phone signal at all but wifi is really good. The whole property could do with some good cleaning and maintenance and getting rid of old equipment, a bit of modernisation would be good to make it comfortable. We did not enjoy our stay at all and would never recommend this place to anyone. The owner did come to apologise aftwr we sent her pictures but thatâs all she did, no opportunity to claim our cleaning fee back either which is a shame and kept claiming that a cleaner had been in the day before but how does that help us when itâs still dirty? Please do better!

Shabby, unkept, untidy. Bedroom 1. Bedbase dirty, neglected to be vacuumed. Lighting poor. Bedroom 2. Needs a proper privacy blind instead of a see through thin linen one. Kitchen. Dirty cupboards and handles on doors. Dish rack dirty. Washing machine instructions in information folder is NOT the washing machine in the cupboard. NO dryer. Was not switched on at powerpoint ready for guests arrival. No recycling in Porthtowan - information folder incorrect. We had to go to Penzance recycling facility. Mould on kitchen walls and near back doorway. Sofa stained. Vacuum cleaner filthy and unusable. Popcorn and hair in loungeroom - had not been cleaned properly. No dishwasher detergent - no spare toilet roll for two guests. Neighbour who plays loud music at 11.30pm. In conclusion. Shabby building, in shabby location. Will not recommend.
