    “This was our 2nd stay and we love the property and location.”

    Our constructive feedback would be: Standard of housekeeping needs improving, very dusty and cobwebs in most rooms. Unpleasant smell of drains upstairs. Garden-facing windows leak at the sill, this led to large pools of water on the stairs. Basic property maintenance could be improved, outdoor back light not working. Combi-boiler failed on three occasions and we were left with no hot water. Window blind in dining areas has seen better days. A designated car parking space sign would be useful ...

    Our constructive feedback would be: Standard of housekeeping needs improving, very dusty and cobwebs in most rooms. Unpleasant smell of drains upstairs. Garden-facing windows leak at the sill, this led to large pools of water on the stairs. Basic property maintenance could be improved, outdoor back light not working. Combi-boiler failed on three occasions and we were left with no hot water. Window blind in dining areas has seen better days. A designated car parking space sign would be useful. Local contractors parked in it and we therefore had to find additional parking away from the property. A welcome basket would be a nice touch, as we have had in other properties, along with a starter of logs & kindling. The property, which sleeps six, is crying out for a second toilet. We had another wonderful week in the property but feel a few simple adjustments would make this an outstanding holiday let.

    - Pauline, October 2023

    I am really happy you enjoyed your 2nd stay at the Labour Exchange and that you loved the property and the location. In regard to the housekeeping of the property, I will be passing on your comments to the professional caretaking company who look after the upkeep of the Labour Exchange on a weekly basis. A welcome basket should have been waiting for you on your arrival and the log burner should have been stocked for a starter burn. I can only apologise for this. Thank you for notifying me about the back garden light, unbeknown to us the bulb had blown and has now been changed. In regard to parking, there is no designated parking space (the property is not advertised as having one). However, there is usually a space that is available adjacent to the property. In the event that this space is not free, there is a free car park 300m up the road. The windows at the rear of the property are not original and were added at different times in the last 10 years. To our knowledge they have never leaked before which may mean that they need resealing. We will look into this as soon as soon. I apologise for the problems you had with the boiler and a heating engineer has been to service it. Your comment about installing a second toilet is a good suggestion and we have looked into it, but the logistics of connecting a new toilet to the down pipe is unfortunately not practically viable. Thank you for your feedback and hopefully we will see you again. Property Owner

The property

Offering an opportunity for a wonderful holiday to this glorious part of Cornwall is the characterful cottage of The Labour Exchange, resting in the centre of St Just.

Situated within striking distance of the coastline, this spacious property is ideal for families seeking a base to call home during their traditional seaside holiday.

Admire the contemporary characteristics of the exterior of this large property, before being welcomed into the characterful sitting room, where a woodburning stove takes centre stage before a plush seating arrangement and a TV.

Joining this space is a dining table, where you and your loved ones can come together to enjoy quality time and to tuck into a home-cooked meal that was prepared within the kitchen.

The kitchen comes equipped with a fridge/freezer, an hob, oven and microwave, as well as a dishwasher to serve as a helping hand.

In here, there is also a washing machine so that you can wash your clothes after a busy day at the beach.

Completing the interior are three well-presented bedrooms, which enjoy a bright and airy decor, as well as space for you to keep your holiday belongings.

Choose to catch your rest in either the double bedroom with a king size bed, the twin bedroom or the bunk bedroom, designed to offer a flexible sleeping arrangement to suit the needs of any party make up.

Outside, there is a rear, enclosed garden area, where table and chairs offer an alternative dining option.

Take a short stroll around St Just to find a number of amenities to suit all needs, from eateries, pubs and shops for picking up the essentials.

Drive down to the local beach and soak up the sunshine, or to enjoy the Cornish coast further, walk part of the iconic South West Coastal Path.

Alternatively, enjoy days out exploring nearby attractions such as the Cape Cornwall Golf Club, the Geevor Tin Mine and the Minack Theatre.

Further afield awaits the bustling towns of St. Ives and Penzance, home to a superb range of amenities.

The Labour Exchange is an outstanding base for all to enjoy.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

ST JUST

Penzance 7.2 miles; St Ives 12.9 miles.

St Just is the nearest town to Land’s End and is situated approximately eight miles west of Penzance. The town itself is an ancient settlement that has a strong mining history and there are several monuments and prehistoric antiquities to visit including the Bronze Age settlement at Cape Cornwall. St Just is ideally located for visitors to explore the far west of Cornwall as it is situated on the edge of the moors and close to the beautiful north coast. In the centre of the town is Plain-an-Gwarry, a theatre used for miracle plays in medieval times, and in more recent times for the Lafrowda Festival.
