    “The steps from parking to the house are listed as shallow steps… these are far from shallow and are actually very deep (one full railway sleeper deep).”

    Each step is sloping making them harder to climb and covered in loose road stone making them slippy. They were also full of nettles and weeds which didn’t help! We were aware of the internal steps but it was these external steps which made the house a poor choice due to mobility issues in our party. After these steps were further stone steps which though quite deep did have a rail. The steep steps lacked a handrail and had nettles and other weeds too alongside the chunky sliding gravel ...

    Each step is sloping making them harder to climb and covered in loose road stone making them slippy. They were also full of nettles and weeds which didn’t help! We were aware of the internal steps but it was these external steps which made the house a poor choice due to mobility issues in our party. After these steps were further stone steps which though quite deep did have a rail. The steep steps lacked a handrail and had nettles and other weeds too alongside the chunky sliding gravel making them harder work! We had an issue with a lock which was quickly resolved. Great owner communication too! There weren’t enough working outside seats for everyone (we were five); some were damaged. The indoors seating was in urgent need of upholstery cleaning- which has been mentioned in previous reviews but not actioned. The hot tub was great. The kitchen was well equipped, though a jug and tray would be good additions.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback following your stay. We're sorry to hear that some aspects of the property did not meet your expectations and appreciate you bringing them to our attention. We will be reviewing and updating the property description to better reflect the nature of the external steps, including their depth and gravel. We understand how important this is, particularly for guests with mobility concerns, and we want to ensure our listing provides an accurate representation. We’re also addressing the issue with the wet/dry hoover this week and are looking into the upholstery cleaning as a priority — thank you for highlighting this again. We’ve recently added a tray, jug, and ice bucket to the kitchen inventory based on your suggestions. In terms of the outdoor seating and garden maintenance, we’re sorry these weren’t up to standard. We’ll be replacing any damaged seating and the garden paths and steps have been cleared of weeds and gravel for improved safety and appearance. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the hot tub, the kitchen amenities, and appreciated our communication during your stay. Your feedback helps us continue to improve, and we hope we might have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future. Warm regards Property Owner

The property

This detached cottage is situated in the village of St Agnes, set in a peaceful seaside location and only 6.9 miles from Truro.

Ideal for a family or a group of friends, everyone can come together to enjoy the village attractions, before returning to this lovely holiday home.

On the ground floor, you will be welcomed by a homely kitchen, where you can wander outside onto the patio area at your own leisure after dishing up some deliciously appetising meals.

There is also a utility room, a dining room with a feature fireplace and a cosy sitting room with woodburner for those cooler evenings.

The four bedrooms have been arranged with the family in mind.

Two super king-size doubles provide a peaceful sleeping environment, along with a single room and a ground floor twin room so everyone can benefit from a good night’s sleep.

The bathrooms are thoughtfully designed, from the wet room to the ground floor bathroom, which even comes complete with a signature Jacuzzi bath.

Outside, you can relax in the hot tub admiring your surroundings, or make the most of the long summer nights whilst enjoying a BBQ by the fire pit.

Just a short drive will take you to the beaches of Cornwall, whilst St Agnes also offers a choice of excellent restaurants and pubs to suit all.

For the more adventurous, swim or surf in the clear waters, walk the footpaths and bridleways or hop onto the South West Coast Path.

St Agnes also has a rich mining heritage which can be explored with a visit to the St Agnes Museum.

However you chose to spend your time, this luxury retreat is in an excellent location, ensuring you have a promising selection of activities and day out opportunities.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
