We really enjoyed our week at The Rest House. We didn't know quite what to expect, but it was pretty perfect. Being quite small meant we kept things tidy, and it was easy to clear up when leaving. Rashmir is really helpful as a host - answering queries, both before arrival and during our week, but then leaving us to our own devices which was wonderful. It was very quiet at night, well stocked with sufficient crockery, cutlery etc, and great to have tea towels, so we didn't need to take home wet ones of our own. The only reason I give a 4 for comfort is that we had to move the sofa if we wanted to watch TV sitting on it, though we often watched from the bed which was very comfortable. The Rest House is well supplied with electric points, the bathroom and heated towel rail really good too. It would have been useful to have more detailed instructions about the cooker - as I use gas at home and was a bit lost - but Rashmir explained when I asked.

Instructions on how to to get there and gaining entrance were very clear, however we soon chose to drive the long way round via Sennen for better roads. The kitchen was well equipped however instructions on how to use the cooker would be useful as the marking on the controls have worn off. The bed was really comfortable with good quality linen. We did have an issue in that the shower broke on our second day, however this was sorted very quickly and a new shower was fitted. The communication throughout this problem was very good and we were offered the opportunity to use the shower in the owners property next door, although we declined. As others have said there are signs of damp, however this is a converted stone barn and a dehumidifier is provided so if used it helps. The outside area is all gravel, our dog came with us and she was able to mooch about safely as it is fully enclosed. There is a large area of grass about a minutes walk away. There were lots of dog friendly places to eat and visit locally.

Really enjoyed our stay. The Resthouse had just about everything we needed. It was in a perfect position to be able to walk to the Minack Theatre and amazing Porthcurno telecommunications museum. Comfy and cosy.

We've stayed here before so knew what to expect from The Rest House. Great location for coastal walks from Porthgwarra, Treen, Mousehole etc. Compact accomodation but if your out and about this isn't an issue. I would add there was an issue with woodlice - the owner did acknowledge this and the seals on the door were being replaced but there were lots of them. TBH for me there are some issues people should be aware of - sounds petty but worthy of note. It is small and if the weather wasn't good you would be a bit cramped. It is also a bit light at night from the ceiling window and lights on radiators and smoke alarm. We had to take the batteries out of what must be the noisiest clock in the world and the fridge is very noisy and kicks in throughout the night. I only mention these because it is a great little place, with parking and a great base - but not somewhere if you are looking for a place where you might want to stay in and relax with a book all day etc
