The property was perfect for our family holiday, large bedrooms with comfortable beds, one bedroom separate from the others gave my daughter some privacy with her new baby. Lovely fully fitted kitchen with everything you would need, a large dining area and plenty lounge areas to enjoy time together.Private parking was ideal and the rear outdoor space was fantastic.

With 7 members of our family. The house is in a fantastic location , with amazing views We could walk to Carbis bay in around 12 mins, and around 15 mins into st Ives. The house is very comfortable, the bedding and mattresses are of high quality. The kitchen has a good spec, and has two cookers, so we could cook easily for the whole family. The garden is nicely appointed and the table tennis was a big hit. It also has a downstairs toilet, and laundry room, this is next to the den which has games, and a PS3, with a big TV. Overall the house is fantastic and we would return. Just a couple of notes for the owner, needs a repaint/ touch in some areas, en-suite bathrooms need new grout and silicone.we found some areas were dusty, by TVs and radiators.

We loved staying there. The Hot Tub was very popular after a hard day's walking. We self catered but ate once at the local Cornish Arms where the traditional pub food was plentiful and nicely cooked (and we won the Wednesday evening quiz). We also had fish and chips from Becks which everyone enjoyed. There is a combi microwave as part of the oven stack. It was complicated and we didn't work out how to use it as it had so many functions. There is also an instant boiling water tap which needs a better label. On one occasion the label was not seen in the low light and scalded one of the party, thankfully not seriously. But maybe only a matter of time
