It definitely feels like a home from home and is very well maintained with all the essentials you need in an holiday property. It is well located for all our favourite places in Rock/Daymer Bay. The garden is a lovely space and we particularly enjoy the use of the hot tub. Penolver will always be our go to property in Rock as long as it is available.

Unusual in holiday lets. Need hooks on back of doors especially in bathrooms. Tv was too small. Great to have Alexa! The cleaning needs improving lots of cobwebs and dust in corners and behind bedside cabinets. Good comfy sofas! House looking lovely outside well maintained but needs gutters on front. We really enjoyed our stay thank you
