Jenny
With the beach and the causeway to St Michaelâs Mount yards away and the Lizard, Landâs End and St Ives within easy reach, it is ideally located. Cafes, pubs and restaurants are easy to walk to through quaint streets or along beside the sea. At the end of the day we were glad of the comfortable sofas for relaxing and a comfortable bed meant we slept well. We packed a lot into our short break but thereâs still so much to see and do, so weâll definitely be back!

The downside was in the dark the step's up to the flat which had a light on a sensor to start with then the light stopped working which then made the step's tricky to negotiate until the light at the top came on. The bed was worn out and the sofa has seen better day's but on the whole it was a good base to have a holiday I've stayed in worse and I've stayed in better. WE HAD A REALLY NICE HOLIDAY AND WOULD GIVE IT 10/10 EXCEPT FOR THE BED !!!
