We had a lovely holiday in Cornwall and Cinders Loft was OK for a base but we were disappointed.
Cinders loft is very homely and full of nik naks. The kitchen was well equipped, with a large fridge freezer and dishwasher. The utility and downstairs WC is a great addition. The dining area was great too. The living room area was tight for seating. The garden is excellent, probably the best part of the property.
There's a downstairs bedroom with ensuit, but definitely needs some attention from maintenance (shower curtain falls down etc).
Upstairs is a large bedroom with a freestanding bath. We were extremely dissappinted to find that this bedroom was not ensuit as advertised. There is a small double/twin room on the same level. In the loft area is a twin 'room', the beds do not fit an adult in nor can an adult stand up in the room, it shouldn't be classed as a room because the ceiling height is too low. Very steep steps for access too. Those 3 bedrooms share a small bathroom with walk in shower sink and toilet.
We were disappointed with the property as it advertised 3 bathrooms when booking and this is not the case. The overall cleanliness was OK, but does need some attention, there was a horrible smell and eventually found it was out of date sauce in the cupboard. The BBQ had not been cleaned and was disgusting, but when we reported this, the owners offered the cleaner to come and rectify this.
The driveway is also a bit of a nightmare, it's lose gravel on a hill so not easy to get up. Front door locks from the outside once closed, not ideal if no one picks up the keys.
The owners were easy to contact and were very helpful when we needed help whilst visiting.
The property didn't wow or impress, this is mainly because we were extremely disappointed with the false advertisement of the property. We wouldn't stay here again as there weren't the bathrooms advertised, the 4th bedroom is in our opinion unusable and there are no local pubs or resteraunts etc. Although it 'sleeps 8' it isn't big enough for this amount of people.
Good hosts but property advertisement was false (we have since raised this) but believe it is not what we booked/ paid for.
