We come frim Germany and we have been to The Haven for the second time.. What a great place to stay. The house was very clean and very well aquiped. The only thing we have to complain is the furnishing of the terrace. The wooden seat furniture is uncomfortable to sit on. We would recommend to change it to modern lounge equipment with comfortable cushions. Everything else was perfect.

The Haven was in a position in the harbour, that gave dramatic views, very close to the sea.. This was a bit of a shock to start with! The sound and feel of the wind was amazing, but the strength of it could have been difficult for a frail person. We did see a lady fall and bump her head as she moved across the road, to allow a car to pass. The steps were deep, especially to the front of the property. They would benefit from being lit, especially as we arrived in the dark. The food shops were adequate for the week, however we ate out at every meal almost, in a different venue each time, around the harbour. The cornish pasties were lovely. There were galleries, clothing ,gift and craft shops. There were 3 things in the house that would have made our holiday more enjoyable. 1. No draughts coming through all the front windows.( the lounge and 2 bedrooms) 2. A shower that had a continuous flow of water, and didnt need resetting. 3. Being asked to vacate the house by 10.00am, and the cleaner arriving at 9.30am. We have loved Cornwall and will return soon. Linda Paul.

The house is lovely - homely but has everything you could possibly want in a holiday home.. The views are amazing and the property is beautifully situated for the shops and pubs

This is a lovely property but is now beginning to look and feel tired.. It is well designed but needs some TLC!

We were concerned as this cottage was double booked for our week but i only found that out when i rang the housekeeper who thought she had already spoken to me and given them the key code already.. I dont understand how that could have happened amd it did worry us until we were told we would still be staying there - not good Just ref the house, one suggestion would be to have a parasol outside, the table has room for one and most other houses on the row do have one

It was a wonderful cottage and everything we've expected was fulfilled.. The house was very clean and we enjoyed sitting outside to relax and Enjoy the wonderful views to the sea and the harbour. It would be perfect to place a sun umbrella on the terrace.
