  The property looks very tired and in need of some TLC.

  Jet spraying the walls to remove the caked in bird poo would be good The beds were extremely uncomfortable, the springs dug in and infact I tried to sleep in each bed as I could not avoid the springs in the main bed. My son, who is less sensitive than me, also had the same problem. It would be helpful to provide cleaning products, there were no surface sprays or cleaning materials for the bathroom, the toilet brush was broken. I would usually give the shower a quick clean everyday it would be great to have a shower cleaner and a useable toilet brush. This is the first time I have stayed in a cottage that doesn't provide a "care package" of milk tea bags and often other goodies, just to get you going. The skylights need something you can open them with and need blinds as the sun shines in directly, which is wonderful, but not so good when you are trying to keep the rooms.cool. Sorry for the long list, but I would want to know if it were my property. Also storage, we found the hoover in front of the door in the downstairs bedroom and the mop and bucket behind the arm chair! We loved the location and views from the upstairs bedroom.

  Guillemot Holiday Cottage is absolutely fabulous, beautifully decorated, comfortable, bathroom is stunning, as were the sea views.

  It has every facility you could possibly want, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, fridge/freezer, toaster, cooker, ironing board and iron, hair dryers, so no need to take anything with you apart from beach towels and anything you might need for your dog (if taking one). Lovely coastal walks (that go on for miles) and beaches left and right of the property and very close to other places you might wish to visit in Cornwall. Holly, the property manager, was very nice and helpful, even left us some fresh milk and muffins and we had a very nice e-mail from the property owner before we went, to say that he hopes we have a great holiday, that was a nice touch. We have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to family, friends and work colleagues. Will definitely book this cottage again. 5 Stars!

  It’s the second time we stayed at the Folly, the first being 2 years ago.

  It it perfectly situated and has a very valuable parking spot. But, it is a much unloved property. The flower trough on the pathway is full of weeds (just get rid of the trough). On the corner of the outside steps down to the door there’s a pile of stuff for the tip - old polystyrene a bit of old Lino. The curtains in the bedrooms are thin and unlined - both bedrooms face east so you’re up at 5am; the main wall in the living room doesn’t eve.n have a picture on it. The boiler in the kitchen rattles away making some very odd noises; one of the frying pans lost it’s non stick about 5 years ago……we could go on. As a crash pad (with nighttime eye masks) it works, but it’s definitely not comfort and a little surprising John Bray puts his name to it.

  There was no means to dry clothes.

  I was not expecting a dryer but there was no line outside, nor clothes airer. It meant that wet clothes/ washing had to be dried over the back of chairs/ tables etc. Not ideal at all. Fence at back of garden had a large section missing (behind bush on left as you look from house). Didn't know this until we had a call from someone in a car park way down the road to say they had our dog, who had found his way out of the garden. Meant that we could not let our dog out in the garden nor have the doors open (especially difficult when the weather was so hot). Again, not ideal at all. Other than that, the property was brilliant. Perfect location for both immediate local area and more widely. We would definitely book again.

  We (2adults 2kids and pooch) had a wonderful week at the folly.

  It is central for both Port Isaac and Port Gaverne but also a fabulous base for Padstow, Rock, Trebarwith Strand, Tintagel all only 20mins away. The parking is great using the garage and just pulling the door down when we were out. It just needs a good brush out as the gravel from outside has worked it’s way in. The house is fabulous with everything we needed but pleasant to be in and modern. The beds were really comfy and the top bedroom view was beautiful. The boiler didn’t bother us as it just gurgled now and again!! The only downside was that the step down onto the patio from the lounge is quite high so not toddler friendly. We would 100% stay here again. Fantastic property.
