    The host was friendly and they had a gorgeous friendly cat and they very kindly left a jug of milk in the fridge on our arrival. I know it’s a personal preference but I felt the bed was very hard. I also felt the place needed a bit more attention to detail when it came to cleaning it. When we arrived, the bathroom bin had not been emptied. The bathroom sink was also not that clean and the fridge needs a wipe over. I would also like to add that both the dishwasher salt and rinse aid need a top up in the dishwasher. The shower squeegee also needs to be replaced as it’s black with mould.

Further along the Penryn River, just one mile towards the sea you’ll find the famous seaport of Falmouth, with a host of things to keep you entertained including harbour-side pubs and eateries offering spectacular views, stunning Blue Flag beaches and a bustling town centre. Visit the National Maritime Museum for a taste of Cornwall’s sea-faring history, or the fine Tudor fortress of Pendennis Castle, superb set gazing out to sea.
