Guests appreciate the property's cleanliness, the thoughtful touches like biscuits and milk, and its convenient location for exploring the surrounding areas.

Cleanliness
The property generally receives praise for its cleanliness, with several guests noting it as spotless and well-presented. However, some guests reported finding dust, a musty smell in certain areas, and occasional overlooked items beneath furniture, suggesting room for improvement in deep cleaning.
Location
The location is highly regarded for its proximity to Falmouth, local amenities, and transport links, making it an ideal base for exploring Cornwall. The quiet residential area adds to the appeal, although parking constraints are a concern for some with larger vehicles.
Comfort
Guests find the living areas comfortable and the property warm and welcoming. Criticisms focus on the comfort of the beds and some furniture, with suggestions that mattresses could be replaced. The comfort level is generally satisfactory, but there is potential for enhancement.
Facilities
Facilities like the hot tub, well-equipped kitchen, and entertainment options are appreciated, but there are several reports of maintenance issues such as musty bathrooms, mould, and malfunctioning appliances. These issues detract from the overall quality of the facilities provided.
Thoughtfulness
The property owner's thoughtfulness is evident in the provision of welcome gifts like milk and biscuits, as well as beach equipment and comprehensive information packs. While these gestures are well-received, it is noted that such gifts are subject to availability and not guaranteed.
