Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with numerous guests noting it as probably the cleanest they've ever stayed in, and well-presented with attention to detail.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to breathtaking coasts, local walks, and wildlife, with easy access to Penzance and St Ives, contributing to its high score.
Comfort is consistently highlighted, with guests finding the beds and sofas comfortable and the cottage warm and cosy, though a few guests noted the mattresses were too soft for their preference.
Facilities are well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and utility room, though some guests suggested improvements such as a walk-in shower and clearer instructions for the log burner.
While guests mention the homely feel and appreciate the logs and kindling provided for the log burner, there is insufficient information on consistent thoughtful gestures such as welcome packs to accurately score this category.

This was our second visit, this time in March. We were warm and very comfortable, the cottage feels so peaceful, inviting and loved. Itâs a great location for walking this rugged and interesting coastline, and the local bus ideal for getting dropped out and walking back. Highly recommend from Sennen. Then a well deserved chill time by the excellent wood burner. Even managed to sit on the bench outside this time, in a pretty little garden. A great property.
