Perfect location for access to local shops and Hayle beaches - comfortable bed and very well appointed kitchen

I personally found the rugs that criss crossed the entrance and through fare to the kitchen dangerous in that they moved everywhere and actually made the potential tripping hazard presented by the different levels far worse. Curtains in living area all off rails - kickboard in kitchen under cooker literally fell off and never been cleaned. Toilet seat tape just looked make do and mend. Dead houseplants outside the front door did not create the best impression. A small investment to update perhaps needed to keep this cottage a future return booking.

We stayed for three nights while visting family in Hayle. So the location was great for us. Easy access to St Ives on the train from St Erth.The cottage was warm and the open fire was a bonus. We were left some logs and were able to purchase more locally. Could park next to the cottage which was great as parking in the road would be difficult. Kitchen was really well stocked with crockery, pans etc. We didnt do any cooking so can't comment on the cooker and the outside utility door was jammed so we couldn't access it. Hayle has a beach, plenty of shops and takeaways and easy access to the A30 so ideal for a family holiday.

Minor niggles really. The kitchen and bathroom are fine but the rest of the property is definately looking a bit tired. The sofa had tape stuck on where the leather had split and when I pulled the curtain back it came off the rail as there was not stop on it. My daughter slept in the third bedroom as the window in the other double wouldnt shut properly so it was really cold in there. This third bedroom was very basic. No mirror or bedside table. The other rooms had over the door mirrors and flimsy basic clothes storage though there is ample room for proper furniture. Really had to watch going down the stairs as two of us cracked our heads on the beam and we are short people, it needs some padding or a warning sign. Some basic updating would make the world of difference to this great little property.

Location was as we expected being familiar with the area. Contact from the host was excellent and we were even able to access property a little before the designated time. A fire had been set in the grate with an extra bag of logs and kindling provided. A welcome cream tea, was in the fridge with 2 pints of milk and a box of tea bags and a jar of coffee. We were slightly concerned about parking when we arrived but this in the end was not an issue. Property was short walk to a Chinese take away and fish and chip shop and 2 pubs. At approximately £50 per night with the little extras it really was super value

Just to warn those who are over 6foot the ceilings and doorways are not that high so at 6ft 4 I was stooping quite a bit and did bang my head a few times, But it is an old cottage so that is to be expected.

Bus times a bit hit and miss but we managed.The cottage is closed to an assortment of shops for essentials ,luxuries,gifts etc.

Allocated parking space should be lined and numbered to save any problems.Cars speeding around corner near front door. Decor looking a bit tired.
