The house was immaculate, the views were stunning, we all had a magnificent time. Every part of the house was beautifully finished to a very high spec. Really loved that it's very eco, the solar panels and the system tracing the input and output of the eletic was a topic of conversation throuout the whole holiday. My husband and I stayed in the lofRead moret room and the En suit was beautiful. There are a lot of steps but you're staying in a very hilly place and worth it for the views. 10/10 Hide

We could find no faults with the cottage and all agreed it was the best cottage the clan McNeill had stayed in over the past 16 years. We have been taking family holidays in Cornwall and Devon each summer half term.

A lovely place to relax with great views from the garden, patio and lounge window seat. Very well equipped and very comfortable. Access from the public carpark with luggage or infants is a bit of a challenge as it is quite a steep climb back from the property.

A wonderful property in a stunning location. Very comfortable and well equipped. Not suitable for those with mobility issues because of the climb up and down from the quay and the car park and also the stairs in the house and garden.
