There was nothing provided. Itâs the first time we have stayed anywhere and there were no manuals or instructions for appliances. The spiral staircase is difficult. However we looked upstairs but didnât venture up again.
Nicola
It was in an excellent spot, overlooking the sea. It was a lovely walk to fistral beach and not far from the centre with all the bars, restaurants and shops. Stacey the owner was lovely, checking everything was ok. She also left some milk and some scones with clotted cream and jam. It definitely made a difference having driven quite a long way. We would definitely go there again.
