It totally depends what you look for in a holiday.... If you love the beach, views and are outdoor people this is just amazing! We are a young family with 2 young children, 7 and 4. Hands down this is the best location we've ever stayed at on holiday... A short hilly, but totally manageable walk to one of the best beaches in Cornwall. We were there first thing in the morning and there again in the evening and it was amazing. The beach being so close made our holiday. The hilly walk is definitely not for pushchairs or those who find walking tricky.
It's a very clean cottage, with everything you need at a basic level. It's cosy, it's traditional. We loved the touches such as the scones and wine on arrival and the shed with beach things to use. That was so helpful and kind. Towels and bedding were supplied and basic cleaning products. You have to be totally open minded to the fact that it is a traditional cottage with no modern features but then that's the appeal in a way.
There is a lovely pub down the road The First and Last Inn... Lovely food! The area is very quiet with nothing around until Newlyn and Penzance, so bear in mind that you will need to travel around if you have young children to visit places, unless you stay on the beach the whole time, which in good weather is ideal!
The photographs online are very true to life. A fair representation. I would just say to consider the area more than the cottage... It is a bit more out in the sticks than other places in Cornwall... Which for us wasn't a problem... Just research the area for your interests before booking.
