Clean cups, glasses, sugar refills would have been nice. Room was not refreshed at all one day. Overall we enjoyed our stay."

"Lovely house in a fantastic location overlooking Porthmeor beach.House is clean, well equipped and a good size, there were only two of us but it would comfortably accommodate 6 people, two bathrooms are a bonus and there's even somewhere to wash and dry wetsuits.Our favourite part was the balcony overlooking the beach, we were out there every morning and every evening watching the seals basking on the rock or sleeping in the bay."

Old Arch Cottage, The Digey - 100m From Beach & Town - Free WiFi - Pets

8/10 Good
"We had the most wonderful week in Old Arch Cottage, our first visit to this cottage. The location of the cottage is just perfect and catered to all our needs. Literally two minutes walk to Porthmeor Beach and one minute walk to Fore Street and then a bit further to the harbour. The welcome pack was gratefully received. The cottage was very cosy and well supplied and surprisingly quiet, despite it being on the main walk between Fore Street and Porthmeor Beach. Dropping our luggage at the end of the road was quick and easy, with a short walk to the cottage and the little bench opposite the front door was nice to sit on and enjoy the sun while watching the people pass by. One minor complaint, but nothing too serious - it's a struggle to take a shower in the small downstairs shower room as it's so small, but useful as a downstairs toilet or if you need to use it to shower off sand and sea. It most certainly wouldn't stop up returning again. Thank you, we hope to be back!"
