This is not a 4 star property, the pictures make it look better than it is. I also fear previous reviews are misleading to the standard of this holiday accommodation. The property is tired, rough around edges and needs a good update from furniture, kitchen appliances and dcor to name a few. The property location on the site is good but the siteRead more its self is also very tired and rundown In places. The only positive of this accommodation is the location. It is great for nearby beaches and places to visit! Hide

We had a great week in this comfortable and clean chalet, enjoying time on the local beaches, and walks overlooking the sea in this beautiful part of Cornwall. We also recommend a visit to 'Emily's Story' near Bodmin, and Prideaux Place - we learnt a lot!
