    “The apartment was filthy when we arrived.”

    We had to do a lot of cleaning on our arrival with my pregnant wife and 2 young kids. Rooms were all dusty and there were dirty towels in the wardrobe. Pots and pans are all really old, not that expensive to replace so hopefully te owner will take this on board. Headboards are stained. Toaster was very rusty but thankfully the owner gave us a new one aftwr we complained. Fridge has a strong smell and is very dirty and rusty outside.

    We had to do a lot of cleaning on our arrival with my pregnant wife and 2 young kids. Rooms were all dusty and there were dirty towels in the wardrobe. Pots and pans are all really old, not that expensive to replace so hopefully te owner will take this on board. Headboards are stained. Toaster was very rusty but thankfully the owner gave us a new one aftwr we complained. Fridge has a strong smell and is very dirty and rusty outside. The hoover was not emptied and had a really strong smell when used. There is no phone signal at all but wifi is really good. The whole property could do with some good cleaning and maintenance and getting rid of old equipment, a bit of modernisation would be good to make it comfortable. We did not enjoy our stay at all and would never recommend this place to anyone. The owner did come to apologise aftwr we sent her pictures but that’s all she did, no opportunity to claim our cleaning fee back either which is a shame and kept claiming that a cleaner had been in the day before but how does that help us when it’s still dirty? Please do better!

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.

Note: there is no longer hot running water from the bath taps, but the shower is fully functional.
