  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.

  I recently had the pleasure of staying in this apartment in Carlyon Bay, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The location of this apartment is simply perfect. It's just a short walk away from the beautiful Carlyon Bay, and the charming Charlestown is also within easy reach. Whether you're a beach lover or interested in exploring historic sites, this apartment's location is ideal. The cleanliness and spaciousness of the apartment left us thoroughly impressed. It was spotless upon arrival, and the generous living space made our stay incredibly comfortable. There's something special about coming back to a clean and inviting space after a day of exploring. During our stay, we also took the opportunity to visit Looe and Mevagissey, both of which boast lovely harbours. These towns offered a delightful mix of shops, boutiques, and fantastic dining options. It was a pleasure to explore these picturesque spots, and they're conveniently located within a reasonable drive from the apartment. In summary, I can't recommend this apartment enough. Whether you're looking for a seaside getaway, historical exploration, or simply a comfortable and clean place to stay, this apartment near Carlyon Bay has it all. It exceeded our expectations in every way, and I wouldn't hesitate to return. If you're considering a visit to this beautiful part of Cornwall, do yourself a favour and book this apartment – you won't be disappointed!

  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.

  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.

  Hi I just wanted to provide feedback on the apartment in Crinnis we booked from the 4th - 11th August. We were pleasantly surprised with the layout and amenities in the apartment and details such as the soap, dishwasher and washing tablets that normally aren't provided so was an appreciated additional touch. The main negative point were all the beds, the double and both singles were so uncomfortable we decided to come home a few days early to get a good night's sleep. Given the level of detail of the other decor and furnishings this surprised me as a mid-range mattress isn't that expensive but even my 12-year-old who is very slight, mentioned she could feel the springs in her mattress and therefore didn't sleep well. I thought it best to give you this feedback so you could review and possibly upgrade the beds for future guests as I wouldn't want anyone else to feel the need to cut their family holiday short. I'm happy to provide verbal feedback as well if that helps
