Wonderful house!
We stayed for 3 nights over a Weekend in March, and even with iffy (cold, bit rainy) it was wonderful. House is exactly as shown in the pics - immaculate -- with unexpected beautiful views from not only the family room (with huge expanse of glass including out onto the patio) but also from the master and from the kitchen. The setting at the end of the street means you get both water and headline views, with nothing in between, and walk directly unto the headland trails. Big kitchen, big dining room, plenty of comfy beds and bathrooms for 10 people. Loved this, will plan to come back,.

Very nice but improvements needed
Our family gathering of five adults and three children had more than enough room and were very comfortable for our three nights. I won’t repeat what other reviews have said about the positive aspects, view and location; however, I feel that renters need to be aware that there are some issues in the property that would benefit from investment to improve the quality of the interior fabric. • The LED lighting in the kitchen and bathrooms is very dim and cold creating an uninviting atmosphere • Many of the windows are completely misted (view spoiler) between the panes and unable to be opened • The fireplace door does not completely close which creates a draft that accelerates burning. The fire is best with the door open once it lights but be aware that smoke will reverse into the room as the heat decreases. There is also a constant draft coming into the living room from the fireplace flue • The glass doors in the living room do not seal completely and very draughty with a strong southwest wind • The paintwork in places needs attention. For example, the sea facing front bedroom has a large area where the paint has peeled away around the window, most likely due to moisture • The patio table and chairs need a good sanding and oiling to remove the lichen and preserve the wood • If you want to plug your phone in by the bed, you may have to unplug the table lamp from the outlet Nevertheless, we were all extremely pleased with the property and would love to return same time next year.

Fantastic location
Perfect! Hired this place out for a get a way with friends before the Christmas break, we could not believe the size of the place for the price, incredibly reasonable. Gorgeous living room with an incredible sea view, really clean and tidy bedrooms with enough storage for clothes. Log burner made for a lovely cosy atmosphere. There were 9 of us so we were ready for dinner to be difficult, but there were plenty of glassware and kitchen equipment to cook with. Just a short walk down to the beach and local shop, it's peaceful without bring in the middle of nowhere. Thank you very much!!!

Great family weekend away
10 of us stayed for a milestone birthday. The location was brilliant, as was the communication with the host of the property. Instructions for the parking and directions to the property were very helpful. The property had more than we thought would be available (salt, pepper, kitchen utensils etc). If we had to leave one bit of feedback which would have improved our stay further it would be regarding the check in and check out time. If we had only stayed for one night a 5pm check in and 9.30am check out would have put us off staying at the property. Overall, really pleased with our stay! Thank you!

We all had a fantastic stay, the views are breath taking, log fire was an added bonus on a couple of rainy cold nights, house was big enough for our party of 10, only down side the cooker takes for ages to cook food, bedroom upstairs window is very drafty, beautiful house just needs some TLC, local beach bars would highly recommend them

Mostly great—with couple suggestions
Fabulous views, comfortable rooms, family eating area, good kitchen, roomy snug Please add the correct name of the ‘beach house’ which is not the name in the house ‘address’ (maybe Cloud Hill?) and that it is at the end of the road. I’d also like a written set of instructions as to turning on heat, etc, plus check out instructions. Please double check wifi password instructions given on line vs correct instructions.

Nice house in a great location
Nice house, good size, but a bit dated and in need of some love. Well stocked and convenient kitchen. Lovely sitting area with views over the sea. Good sized bedrooms and comfy beds. Great to have so many bathrooms too. The heating was very efficient so never cold. But perhaps the thermostat was broken? Cleanliness was good but there were cobwebs on the ceiling and under sofa. Lots of woodlice around as well, especially upstairs. Deck furniture has seen better days. Check in process was easy, apart from the house name is different to the listing which was confusing. Overall, pretty good value for a lovely location.

I have been dreaming about coming to Cornwall for 18 years. This trip and house did not disappoint. Stunning views of the ocean with many opportunities for even better views while walking the amazing coastal path. For Poldark fans there are a couple sites within walking distance, including one of the mines. The Blue Bar is within walking distance and serves great food with also amazing views. The house had everything we needed and was comfortable for our group. I just wish I had more time there. It was easy to find, accurately described and plenty of parking. Highly recommend it and I hope somehow, someday I can go back as well.

Lovely location. Spectacular views. Plenty of space.
We had a lovely time. The house is very accommodating for a larger group. It's a great location to see all the sights in Southern Cornwall and you can walk right out onto the Coastal Path from the front door. The views are terrific too. By the way, the router for WiFi is in the dining room. Don't use the one on the instructions -- it leads you to a link for paid WiFi that is terrible and expensive. All the information you need for the free and strong WiFi is on the router in the dining room. And bring your own shampoo.

Absolutely fabulous location. Good sized property for group gathering. 5 comfortable bedrooms, modern bathrooms and ensuites. Well equipped kitchen and thoughtful gestures such as milk in the fridge, tea coffee etc provisions lest you forgot your own. Amazing views of both beach and moorland. Great walks from the doorstep. The only confusion was the name of the house, its listed as beach house but the property sign says cloud hill or similar. We knew it was the correct property by the map that was available on the website even though that also said beach house! There is also a large garden area and decking which will be great for warmer days. I would stay again if needed.

Perfect location - needs updating
First of all the location is perfect excellent position for the view and access to the Cliff then the beach. The owner was efficient with his responses and very understanding. The bedrooms were lovely sizes and great bathrooms. For the beds the mattress would benefit from being renewed as they are very soft and seem very worn. The house was either freezing due to the draft from under the living room top windows, and fireplace and blown windows or boiling as having to have the heating on full blast as the radiators weren’t heating up the full property unless on full. This meant that the hallway and rooms coming off them were very hot - the back bedroom was warm until heating went off then was freezing and the living room was cold due to the constant draft. The patio doors were broken and we were told by someone who came to look at it to keep them locked. And the patio area and garden needs some TLC and is not fully enclosed for dogs. The flooring indoors could do with some TLC. Finally we think this property is very nice and has great potential with a bit of an update and TLC would be perfect
