"Lovely light and airy property; very clean with well-equipped kitchen; I would however, suggest providing a dishcloth in the kitchen to make it easier to clean down surfaces."
The welcome pack was really appreciated and a nice touch. The evenings were a little cool and as we couldn't quite figure out the heating, we would have liked to have lit a fire but there was no kindling and only 4 logs in the basket so we had to abort that idea. Also, the mirror in the first floor bedroom opposite the shower room was too high such that if you sat down at the dressing table to dry your hair you couldn't see in the mirror, The one big downside of this property, which unfortunately reflects in the score, is with regard to the small shower room on the first floor landing - there is a permanent sewage/damp smell coming from this room which was very unpleasant. We didn't want to intrude on the privacy of our friends who were occupying the top floor bedroom with en-suite shower so had to endure a rather unpleasant 5 minute daily shower in this room which wasn't great. I would also suggest ensuring the photos advertising the property are updated i.e., in the photos there is a TV in the first floor bedroom opposite the shower room but there was no TV in the room when we got there which was a little disappointing.

The property
In the village of Porthcurno, surrounded by ancient, stunning coastline and countryside is this contemporary haven, The Upper Deck, presented in the form of a duplex apartment.
Best suited for beach-loving couples or a family, this sophisticated property provides sleek and modern accommodation.
The open plan living space is light and airy.
Huge windows which let in all the natural light are bound to impress.
The Upper Deck is set in a brilliant location for enjoying the South West Coastal Path.
Walk over the dark wood flooring and into the open-plan living space, a serene room furnished simply but effectively, starting with the white fitted kitchen, with contrasting granite worktops where the budding chef can impress the rest with some fine home cooking.
Dine at the table for six with a glass of wine and you'll forget that you're not sitting in a trendy minimal restaurant, but in your home for the week!
There is underfloor heating in the main living areas, bathrooms and shower room, and a wood-burning stove faces the sofas and armchair, to create a warm corner perfect for enjoying a film on a colder evening.
The first floor includes two bedrooms; a king-size double and a twin, both in-keeping with the light white theme of the whole property, each complete with neutral carpet, and served by two bathrooms; one is a family bathroom with a washing machine and tumble dryer, and the other is a shower room with basin and WC.
The second floor is home to the outstanding master bedroom, with floor-to-ceiling windows leading onto your own private balcony.
You will want to start your mornings with coffee on the balcony every day!
A vast en-suite bathroom adjoins this room, containing a bath, walk-in shower, basin and WC, perfect for indulging in a long soak after a busy day out.
On a sunny day, head outside to the raised terraced garden over the private bridge, and cook up a storm on the barbecue.
It's easy to see why Porthcurno Beach has won so many awards with its gorgeous soft white sand, turquoise sea and high cliffs offering both sides shelter from the elements, it's a real paradise and is only around a 20-minute walk through a wooded valley from The Upper Deck.
Leave your car in the private parking space and head out on foot.
You'll go past the Telegraph Museum in Porthcurno on your way to the beach, so why not stop off and have a look at this museum which explains the dawn of wireless science in the former global hub of cable communications?
Try your best to catch a performance at The Minack Theatre, famed for being carved into a Cornish cliff-top, it is an open-air theatre showcasing many productions including the Royal Shakespeare Company.
The Upper Deck is a property you will travel back to year after year; a tranquil retreat in this beautiful part of the world.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
