Lovely cottage near Penzance
This cottage is a great location in Newlyn, very close to the beautiful Mousehole and right next to Penzance. Plus next door is a pub!
The cottage itself is quite well equipped but there are definitely improvements that can be made.
* There's no welcome book whatsoever.
* There are zero coasters in the whole place
* There's no small plates and no large bowls.
* There's no microwave
* The TV is enormous and close to sofa but only FHD so it's looks quite blocky.
* The upstands in the kitchen are unfinished - labels still on it!
The floors are uneven as you would expect in an old fishing cottage and watch your head on the stairs - I hit mine twice!
The biggest issue is the shower which floods very easily - the advice to "switch off and let it drain for 10 minutes" is a nonsense.
Note there is NO PARKING at the cottage, you can park on some roads for free reasonably nearby.
Overall I feel the cottage is somewhat overpriced.
