  "The Lookout" at Sennen Cove has a number of desirable features. It is located very close to the harbour and beach (even if the 76 steps up to it can be demanding), and also to the coast path. It has fantastic views of the sea from three large windows. The flat has a contemporary, coastal feel and is light and airy. The extra-large bed is comfortable. The bathroom has an excellent shower, and the one-person bath in the bedroom is a lovely addition, especially given the view from it. There is plenty of hot water and good water pressure throughout the flat. The kitchen includes a full-size cooker and oven, 'fridge, and microwave, and while there isn't much preparation space, it will probably work well enough for most. There is also a washing machine (which we didn't use). Sadly, the flat isn't particularly well looked after. The cleaning in particular was poor in places. While the obvious things were clean enough (sink, bath, shower, etc.), we were bothered by the following: (1) We had to clean dusty cobwebs and spiders off the walls and ceilings in the bedroom. It was clear that no one had done this for weeks. (2) There were what looked like animal hairs on the bed cover when we arrived. (3) There was a dirty single mattress underneath the bed, as well as a mattress protector and sheet. (4) The floor throughout the flat had not been mopped for some time and was sticky. (5) There was black mold on all the window frames. It looked like someone had possibly run a cloth over some of it, but little more than that. We found that a substantial amount came off with just a cursory wipe, suggesting that no one had made any real effort to clean them in a long time. Some of the walls around the windows also needed to have mold removed and to be repainted. (6) The blinds were dirty and needed washing or replacing. (7) The windows were dirty and needed to be cleaned on the inside and the outside. (8) The 'fridge was so noisy that it could be heard in the bedroom with the door closed. Given that it only just about managed to keep items cold when on its coldest setting (and that in cool-ish weather), it presumably needed repair. Our milk went off after two days of being in there, strangely. (9) The sliding bedroom door only opened about three quarters of the way because of how it had been hung. (10) The windows, which are one the flat's main attractions, open inwards, but couldn't be opened more than a few inches because of the blinds. (11) The telescope didn't work, despite following he instructions; my best guess is that a power cable was missing. We drew this to Original Cottages' attention the day after we arrived using the e-mail address specified for support during stays, but heard nothing back. If the issues above were addressed, we would be happy to recommend this flat without reservation and probably to book it again ourselves.

  This property is NOT detached despite the agent assuring me it was. It also is nothing like the pristine photos shown on the website. The seal on the window units are broken down, the gutters and fence and gate are covered in mould, the garden is unkept with empty broken planters lying around. I had to put up with a bedroom door that would not close and then have to be available on my holiday for the carpenter to fix it. Why was this not noticed and fixed earlier? The bed linen felt damp and the bed was not comfortable. More emphasis has been spent with all the rules applied to this property and not applied to things like where are good places to eat, shop, sightsee etc. It is unacceptable only get BBC1 and one film on the TV. Went out and bought a DVD player and and extra cable and it would not recognise it or play. Next door had a very noisy child that disturbed me most mornings and evenings hence the importance of a detached property for me.

  This apartment is only suitable for the fit and able. It is halfway down a cliff with 78 steps ( some very steep) to the top road (Maria’s Lane) and 80 steps down to the harbour front where there is some non- designated resident’s parking. This make unloading and loading of the car really difficult. In saying this, the views from the apartment are exceptional and make the trek up and down more worthwhile. The rooms are spacious and the bed is huge and very comfortable. The shower was also very good and there was plenty of hot water. We would have preferred a proper table and chairs to the bar and stools but maybe that’s an ‘age thing’! The WiFi is excellent but the TV is BT only so there is no Freeview and it is blocked for linking any personal accounts eg Sky Go. It is also quite slow and cumbersome to use.

  We throughly enjoyed our holiday. I think it should be made clear on the website that all walks from the house are cliff top and will be difficult for less able bodied people. Nanjazel cove is a 20 minute walk away but it includes climbing rocks and steep steps. Sennen cove is a down hill walk which is very steep so difficult on the way back. However The First and Last Inn is a very short walk away and the food is lovely. Another short walk away is Lands end a must to see the sunset. Inside the cottage there is not enough food storage room (only one small cupboard) and a very small fridge and freezer. This was ok for just my husband and myself but as the cottage sleeps up to 6 people it would not be enough.

  The house as a whole was very clean although some of the radiators were extremely dusty……I recognise that these can be tricky to keep dust free but a quick blast with the vacuum usually deals with any surface ‘ dust bunnies’ ?? The ? faucet (base of the wash and basin tap) in the bathroom off the hallway was leaking and making the toilet roll & bathroom floor a bit wet. I noted it in the book & hopefully it is now sorted. It seemed to be a good system whereby previous renters had noted a little problem & a tick was made where action had seemingly taken place. All together, we were very pleased with our stay at Flora Belle cottage , thank you.
