Shiralee is a stunning property with so much history behind it it’s located in hicks court. The property was of a nice size for a family of SIX plenty of space and also in a great location. The property had everthing you needed for a two week stay.

Fabulous cottage in an amazing location. We could even hear the crashing waves on Porthmeor from our bedroom! Very comfortable and well equipped. There was plenty of space for the whole family to relax (including the dog) after a bracing winter walk on the beach :)

Beautiful cottage, comfortable clean and had everything you needed plus more! Lovely location with a great historical factor! Definitely will return! Great for a family with disabled/older generation as bathroom and double bedroom (one of three) on ground floor. Great for family holidays.

We were very sorry to hear of the issues that you reported during your stay. The owner was informed and will be fixing the window so that it closes and locks properly, he will also fix the broken tile and has already arranged a meeting with the builder. The issues with the tv and dishwasher were rectified immediately. I know that we have since discussed everything in more detail since your departure and want to thank you again for bringing these to our attention. Tanya, Customer Services.
A lovely place to stay. The stairs are quite steep so if you have any mobility problems this should be considered, it was fine for us. The WIFI and smart tv made our kids holiday 100 times better than last year.
Ms Clift August 2015
