Security light outside front bedroom with only window in was regularly going on early hrs off the morning and was quite bright, had to put a blanket up over the curtains to block it out. Fair bit of noise from above where running across flooring, flushing off toilet early and late hrs (myself would not flush after 10pm out of consideration), could also actually hear people going toilet, some lovely nearby walks though and friendly residents/holidayers, once across busy stretch across the road it was a short walk down to penzance promenade and town, more practical for someone who drives to be able to go to the shops etc. Was still a welcome break. Thank you.

The cream tea welcome was a nice touch and having condiments, oil etc. were all appreciated. The information pack got us started, but we failed to find the additional information referenced - heating/appliances etc. but managed to get the towel rail to work with some fiddling :â -â ) Appreciate the need to keep on top of the moisture in the property, but the constant drone of the extractor was a little intrusive. The bedroom, despite leaving the window on "security lock"(?) all day, still smelt damp. A window stay would have been appreciated on this, similar to the other windows. As others have said reversing back down the driveway isn't for the faint hearted! - but the car hardly got used, thanks to the position of the property. A nice stay, thanks. Ps needed to replace a bathroom lightbulb on arrival, but found the spares.

Great bathroom. Comfortable beds with quality linen. Cosy sitting area. Small dining area , would be quite tight for four adults. The listing doesn't show there is no window or natural light in the second bedroom . However, the room is spacious. There is no outside space to sit , a very narrow hard standing, which would be very difficult for a large car or SUV. The lane is private and narrow with no turning space! The flat is under the owners living accommodation . Personally, I think somewhere to hang wet coats and dirty footwear is more practical and useful than a woodburner especially as the heating was on very high and you're unable to adjust it. ! When the temperature outside rose we were uncomfortably hot. This is a sweet place and great for couple's and walkers! Perfect for summer breaks .
