Mrs Sudworth
October 2020

“I think that the timing of access and departure from the house is severe.”

For example, Friday, the day of access. You are not supposed to arrive until 6.00pm. In other words, a whole day has been written off for which we have paid. Likewise, departure by 9.30am is really rather early and especially if we are trying to clean the house. ...

For example, Friday, the day of access. You are not supposed to arrive until 6.00pm. In other words, a whole day has been written off for which we have paid. Likewise, departure by 9.30am is really rather early and especially if we are trying to clean the house. The upstairs bedrooms were rather sparse with the furniture; the odd chair and another small table would have been appreciated. The kitchen was good and well equipped. Dining area a bit squeezed with horrible heavy chairs. Good views. Ocean Heights and Atlantic road are fairly dense residential areas with many cars. None of this detracted from our holiday.

“Good week. The house was clean and comfortable and well equipped.”

A better washing line would have been useful. Struggled with the retractable one and gave up. Perhaps a dryer in the kitchen.

“The house is beautiful and very spacious.”

It’s well equipped in the main and was a good base for us to explore from. A few things to note- no instructions as to how to use the oven (which took AGES to figure out and then heat up). No tumble dryer (which with British weather isn’t great and would have been very useful). The adult beds are comfortable but small- does anyone sleep in a double nowadays!? The pictures of the garden make it look big- it’s not. It’s small and all at a gradient, the pictures should reflect this. It’s also very overlooked from the front of the house opposite. The worst thing for us was the garden was rendered out of bounds for the last day, which had glorious weather, as a maintenance man came round to treat the grass. We asked him not to but he told us that the owners had requested it. All of that said, the property is beautiful. Just don’t expect to walk too far if you have kids as it’s on a busy road with no paths. We did walk down to the beach one day but coming back up was tough on rough rocks with the little ones and very steep.

“Heating not on when we arrived at property and very poor customer service.”

The heating took 9 hours to reach acceptable temperature so we spent first evening and night freezing cold

About the location

PORTHTOWAN

St Agnes 4 miles; Portreath 4 miles; Truro 9 miles.

Porthtowan is a small village resting on west Cornwall’s beautiful coastline, renowned for its Blue Flag beach, which at low tide exposes almost a mile and a half of fine, golden sands. Fringed by impressive granite cliffs, the beach is a popular surfing venue and is lifeguarded during the summer, making it ideal for families. Porthtowan is part of the St Agnes designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and there are some wonderful walks to be found, offering vivid scenery along the South West Coast Path, whether you choose to head east to St Agnes or west to Portreath. The towns of St Ives and Penzance, with their art galleries, restaurants and quaint harbours, are half an hour’s drive away, whilst Flambards Theme Park, The Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek, and the Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station are just a few of the other diverse attractions scattered around this picturesque region. A great base for a varied family break.
