We spent an enjoyable week in Mermaid Cottage. The house was warm, even though we had horizontal hail on a couple of days. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. It is also very well located for walking and access by train to St. Ives - lots to see and do!
However, there are a number of things to note. There is no door from the hall into the kitchen / dining room, so it is impossible to shut a dog in that room at night. There is a stair gate but that is broken. Luckily, our dog is trained not to go upstairs, but there was nothing physical to stop it doing so. Also, the house description shows a rug in the living room which is no longer in the house. I’m sure that a rug would make the room a little cosier. There is only one sofa, although the description states two sofas. Finally, we were expecting Freeview on the televisions as in the house description, but, after checking with the housekeeper, it doesn’t work. We could only watch on iplayer etc and our own Netflix subscription.
All these issues could be easily resolved and the house would be even better!
