Expect thoughtfully designed interiors, homemade breakfasts catering to all diets, and even personalized welcome packs for canine companions.

Decent, but a few issues
sandy beachcramped roombathroom door
The location is pretty good. It is a short walk to a sandy beach, a plus.
The room was a bit of a letdown. It felt quite cramped. the bathroom door didn't lock, rather inconvenient.

great locationquick communicationclean roomunreliable wifinoisy streetsmall bathroom
the location was great for accessing the beach and town. it was a short walk to both (though the hill was a bit steep). the room was clean, and it had everything i needed for my stay. the communication with the host was very quick.
The wifi was not very reliable . the street outside was quite noisy. it was hard to sleep with the window open (especially early in the morning). the bathroom was small. It was hard to move around freely.

Great Stay with Ocean Views
ocean viewquick communicationsupportive hosttherapeutic sleep
The room had great views of the ocean, and I could hear the waves at night. It made sleeping therapeutic. Brushing my teeth in the morning gave a nice view, if you're tall enough. Communication with the hosts was great, and they were quick to reply. I felt supported.
The wifi connection was occasionally unreliable, but this was not a huge problem.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel provides on-site parking, a definite advantage with cars. The hotel is opposite a dog-friendly park, which might appeal to travellers who have pets.
Rooms
8/10
The rooms were lovely, clean spaces. The provided room was a self-contained room. It offered easy access for luggage. The rooms have views of the ocean, if you are at the right height.
Dining
10/10
A great cafe is just meters away for breakfast. This made morning meals very convenient. There is also a bar and food available near Porthmeor Beach. It is a short walk away.
