    “2nd time our family have stayed in this cottage and we were not as impressed as our first time.”

    The cottage is set in a perfect spot and ideal for couples with a dog/dogs. However we found the cleanliness could have been improved. The curtain pole in the double bedroom remains broken and a safety issue as it fell down multiple times during our stay - We reported this last time we stayed however it has still not been fixed. The cottage does not appear to have had much maintenance since our last visit. We were told there would be logs provided for the fire however on arrival there was only ...

    The cottage is set in a perfect spot and ideal for couples with a dog/dogs. However we found the cleanliness could have been improved. The curtain pole in the double bedroom remains broken and a safety issue as it fell down multiple times during our stay - We reported this last time we stayed however it has still not been fixed. The cottage does not appear to have had much maintenance since our last visit. We were told there would be logs provided for the fire however on arrival there was only 1. The welcome/information book appears in need of an update for local recommendations. We did enjoy staying in the area and proximity to the beach is fantastic.

    Hi I’m sorry that the cottage wasn’t as clean as You expected, i will contact you separately as it would be helpful to have more details so I can address it with the cleaners. The curtain pole isn’t broken, it sits on the cradle either end of the pole and is adjustable, sorry to hear you had problems with it. I hope the issues didn’t spoil your stay. Thanks Property Owner

The property

In Cawsand, a stone’s throw from the beach, a 17th cent., Grade II listed cottage, its interesting past hinted at by the smugglers’ tunnel disguised in an under-stair cupboard.

Once also the village sweetshop, it nestles alongside sister cottages on a narrow lane behind the square with only occasional vehicles passing.

Behind, sheltered by a high wall and with a peek of the sea between rooftops, an enclosed suntrap paved terrace with decked area (table/chairs).

Inside, good-sized rooms and original beams (some low lintels).

From the lane, 3 steps up to tiled lobby and bathroom (suite, shower over bath).

Stable doors and step up to living/dining room (smart TV/DVD, woodburner) and smart cottage-style kitchen (slimline dishwasher, washer-drier, microwave, freezer, larder fridge, electric cooker) with slate floor and granite worktops.

Rear hall (space for beach gear/boots, children’s board games) and shower-room (suite, overhead shower plus hand-shower).

Steep narrow stairs (5'2" beam, rope rail) wind up to the first floor landing (smuggler’s tunnel cupboard; door to garden) and two bedrooms - a double (5' bed), and a twin.

Not suitable for guests with limited mobility.
