  Great accomodation in fantastic location.

  Definitely recommend trips to Charlestown, Mevagissey, Fowey, Eden project and Lost Gardens of Helligan. Flat was spotlessly clean when we arrived which was reassuring in light of covid pandemic. Private beach was perfect with sand and clear water and plenty of space for social distancing (although no shade so take an umberella if it is hot). Takes about 10mins to walk down from the flat and fairly steep path so not ideal for those with mobility issues (steps down to last bit of beach). Flat was very comfortable and kitchen well stocked for cooking an evening meal. Dishwasher would have been a good addition. The email did say they would provide soap and surface spray but neither was there when we arrived so had to buy our own. We were also asked to take duvets and pillows/ sheets due to covid as well a our own towels. I am glad we did as the only negative about the flat was the bedding. The mattress covers were tatty and didn't fit well and the pillows (although clean) were about an inch thick. The flat was furnished to a high standard and so I am suprised owners have not responded to the numerous complaints about the bedding as this really lets the place down. That said if you are taking your own it doesn't really matter. You might want to take matress covers as well. The balcony was a welcome addition although the patio furniture is rather tatty and could do with replacing. There is a second smaller patio area off the lounge which is really too small to use but does allow some privacy when opening the french doors to let some air in if it is hot. Several local takeaways deliver on Just Eat if you fancy a night in. Would have been 5 stars across the board if bedding and patio furniture had been up to scratch.

  1) We tried to recycle as per instructions in the welcome pack.

  Someone else put their recycling in the bin marked 18, which we believe to be our rubbish bin. Having searched the bin store we could find no other recycling receptacle. There was only 1 black bag in the apartment which was already in the bin. So we were unable to use a bin bag for our recycling. We removed other people's recycling from our bin, including glass bottles. Other holiday lets had full sized wheelie bins for their recycling. 2) The light in the main bathroom flashed when turned on, continued to flash and then turned itself off. We text the housekeeper, earlier in the week about this, but received no reply. 3) A tea towel was left in the washing machine, damp. we rewashed and ironed it, but it was not ours so we left it in the apartment. 4) Ice cream and frozen vegetables were left in the top shelf of the freezer from previous tenants. These items were not ours. 5) we cleaned tomato ketchup off the strut between two kitchen cabinets. 6) The drain in the en suite shower was VERY slow to drain. 7) The parking space for No.18 is difficult to access because of over hanging vegetation. 8) When checking our bedrooms to ensure we had all our belongings we found mattress protectors under the bed which we put in the bath with other laundry. We had no mattress protectors actually on our mattresses.

  We booked this property for a short break for a group of four.

  The property itself is easy to fin and the rooms all a good size and very comfortable - the kitchen with its large table was a favourite meeting/talking spot and the lounge very comfortable. The bedrooms were a good size and beds comfortable, although clothes storage is quite limited for anything other than a short break and the lower ground bedroom has quite a low ceiling for those that are tall. The bathrooms are as described although it would be beneficial to have some form of shower in there as a bath alone isn't hugely practical (but does look good), as it means you really need to share the downstairs wet room if you just shower. The wet room itself is slightly problematic as it gets and stays very wet, as does everything inside it, including things like toilet rolls - especially when four people are using it. Whilst it wasn't a huge problem and didn't detract from our stay it doesn't make for the best experience. Overall the place is really nice and in a convenient location for things in the area, and road noise wasn't an issue (not even the band in the social club directly opposite - unless you are a very light sleeper. As long as you are happy sharing a bathroom the convenience and comfort make this property worth considering.

  Unlike other users we had no trouble with noise apart from the Social Club over the road until quite late (Saturday night only) - switching bookings to Friday would avoid this happening on guest arrival days.

  The listing was fine, but stairs down to the central heating control is not ideal. "Bathroom with bath, basin and WC" should not be considered (level) Ground Floor Accommodation as it is up three steps. Instead of showing multiple photos of the tourist attractions it would be better to show the hallway and steps up to the toilet. Handrails there and in the bath area would be useful for the older guest. The washing machine is in an outhouse, best accessed through the downstairs bedroom rather than the outside steps which have no guardrail. No DVD player, but it might have been a slot in the TV - didn't look. Channel coverage much more limited than Freeview or - considering there are dishes - Freesat. The road is very busy but not disturbing, the morning rush and school run providing endless enjoyment over breakfast. People parking close to the drive entrance made access difficult at times; I managed to turn the car in the parking area because it has cameras but it has unfenced edges with 3-4 feet drop. With two cars it would have been difficult.

  Apartment is in a handy location, walking distance to Charlestown and a few minutes drive to Asda, Tesco, Lidl or Aldi.

  The apartment has plenty of space and the kitchen/ lounge area was bright and comfortable . Overall the apartment was clean and well maintained but big cobwebs on the ceilings and tops of furniture and units were definitely not done for a while.I think that was mentioned in a recent review in February, alas if I had read it sooner I would have realised the washing machine wasn’t working. I did send a text asking how to switch it on but didn’t get a response, but then when I saw that review and didn’t try again also as we didn’t require the DVD player I can’t say if that was working or not. Regarding the other reviews we didn’t cook much but the kitchen had the basics to cook with, let’s say you might not be able to bake a cake but you can certainly put a roast dinner together if needed. Personal choice, but again reading earlier reviews about the double bed being soft etc. We would agree it was way too soft to be considered comfortable as we are used to a very firm bed but this is again is our personal choice.
