So sorry if the cleaning wasn’t perfect. Unfortunately I live too far away to double check and I rely on feedback. My cleaner is sorry and says she will now do what she calls a ‘deep clean’. I hope you had a lovely holiday

Old style cornish cottage in a great location with a nice little garden. Sea views, meters from the sea and not much further to the pub, village shop, and ice cream parlor. Great for the price.

Lovely cottage in the perfect location within a stone’s through of the coast. The cottage is well equipped & comfortable with a lovely little garden & patio area. We didn't need the car all week as plenty of decent places to eat in & around Portscatho & beaches within a short walk. We’ll definitely be staying again.

Hübsches kleines Häuschen mit Garten direkt am Meer

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in dem kleinen Haus. Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern war sehr gut. Besonders schön ist die Lage: man befindet sich direkt an dem Wanderweg an der Küste und es sind auch nur ein paar Schritte bis in das hübsche Zentrum des Ortes. Bei gutem Wetter hat man die Gelegenheit sich in dem kleinen hübschen Garten aufzuhalten. Für uns war es in dem Haus sehr schön, man muss aber wissen dass die Einrichtung sehr einfach ist und einiges etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist. Der Eingangsbereich es auch sehr eng und darf nicht so viel Platz erwarten. Wenn man all dies weiß dann hat man dort eine sehr schöne Zeit.
