Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness has been a concern for some guests, with reports of dust, dirty windows, and a musty smell in one of the bedrooms. However, other areas were found to be clean and tidy, indicating inconsistency in cleanliness standards.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, coastal walks, and local shops. The convenience of the location contributes significantly to the positive experiences of the guests.
The property is generally considered comfortable, with a spacious lounge and a sun-trap garden. Some guests found the beds and sofas comfy, although there were comments about the property being a bit tired and the need for updates.
Facilities are deemed adequate, with a functional kitchen and good WiFi. However, guests have suggested improvements such as better heating control, sharper kitchen knives, and more modern utensils. The absence of a washing machine and hairdryer was noted.
There is insufficient information to assess thoughtfulness as it relates to gifts or special touches provided by the host. No reviews mention gifts, so it cannot be confirmed whether such gestures are a regular practice.

Parking a bonus too. Plenty of room for 3 adults, sofas & beds comfy. Garden is a real sun trap. We were lucky to have a sunny mostly dry week and made the most of being outdoors.

It's a mere stone's throw from Polzeath Beach, the local Spar, an ice cream shop and bakery amongst others. The cottage had everything we needed except for a washing machine and hairdryer. There is a designated car parking next to the house.
