This was our first time visiting Cornwall, and we were looking forward to a relaxing couple of days with the family. Unfortunately, the accommodation left much to be desired.
Finding the cottage was challenging as the directions provided were unclear. We ended up having to stop and ask locals for guidance before finally locating it.
The cottage itself was pleasant in some ways — we loved the beach-themed décor, and there was a generous selection of books, games, DVDs, and CDs for us to enjoy. The beds were a decent size, with enough duvet covers for extra warmth.
However, the bathroom curtain rail was poorly secured to the wall, so it kept falling whenever someone took a bath or shower, creating a large mess with water on the floor.
We had access to a pool in another building, but our access code didn’t work, and we had to rely on other guests to let us in. The water was also very cold, so we didn’t spend much time swimming.
The laundry facilities were also disappointing — of the three washing machines available, two were out of order, meaning we had to take turns with other guests to do laundry.
In summary, we enjoyed our holiday thanks to the quality family time, beautiful sightseeing, and relaxing moments listening to Bach and Mozart on the CD player while reading from the cottage’s collection. However, the property could be greatly improved with clearer directions, better maintenance, and more reliable facilities.
