  The views from all the windows at the rear of the property are exceptional and to die for.

  There is no parking outside the property but the owners have taken out a parking permit for a space in the road below which was much appreciated. The property was well equipped, comfortable, and clean with the exception of the plinth on the wardrobe in the ground floor bedroom which had not seen a duster for some time. There is also an Alexa in the lounge which we found very useful in the evening. The location is easy for getting in and out of Falmouth and good restaurants and pubs are easily within reach. However, be aware that there are steep slopes and steps to and from the centre of the town and its facilities if you have mobility issues. This property was booked by us as there was a ground floor bedroom with an ensuite and a walk in shower. This led us to believe it would be suitable for my friend who has mobility issues. The open plan kitchen, diner and lounge are on the lower floor and have been converted from a cellar. As such there are some ten or twelve steep narrow steps without a proper handrail to reach the lower floor. The beautiful full length windows in the rear facing bedrooms give excellent views but the small windows at the very top are not easily reached if you have height or mobility issues. There are no hair dryers and the rear facing bedroom on the first floor does not have a socket within reach to use the mirror on the wall. The hospitality pack was very poor and not up to the standards of previous Sykes cottages we have rented. There were only tea and biscuits with a pint of milk in the fridge and no flowers. Some suggestions for the owners which they may wish to consider would be a grab rail at the front door as one of the steps is deep. Also grab rails and a full shower length bath mat in the walk in shower and waste bins in the bedrooms. We enjoyed our week in the property and would not hesitate at all to recommend it to people once they are aware of the issues mentioned above.

  Tranqulty house was lovely, and made a great base for the holiday, unfortunately the site facilities were very lacking.

  We were out most days but usually got home around 8-9 and thought it would be nice to end the day up at the bar to play pool , and have a drink on the terrace. And maybe meet other people on the site. On the Tuesday we decided to have a day at the site and use tranquility garden to relax. The bar reception was not open until the evening despite advertising everywhere shop open , bar take away breakfast etc. Jacuzzi and sauna was not open, being fitted that week , we found out u can use the splash pool by a code, we were told bar was franchised out , we were told it hadn't opened Sunday night as staff had covid so no one to run it. *We ordered take away on that Tuesday and when asked for salt sachet to go on chips, we were told they didn't have any, but we could buy a bottle off salt instead from the shop.! We had salt bk at the house but that seemed an insult. *It advertised quiz nights , when we enquired the bar manager said we don't do them as no one shows up? Again why advertise it then. ? *We enquired about breakfast, bar man told us the chef had quit the week before so no breakfast. Again tk the advert away!! I would tk tranquility house and place on another site I would, surrounding area and local info provided by tranquility owners was great, such a shame that to end the day , u had the bk garden or a very lack lustre bar with no atmosphere , infact we felt by just going in to get a drink we were causing inconvenience.... We booked the holiday not just for the cottage but the facilities it mentioned on site. ...!

  Below are the details from the webpage.

  I have a couple of issues. The first sentence is not correct, you head not only DOWNSTAIRS to the open plan living area, you also head down STEEP stairs. The listing states ground floor bedroom, which would perhaps encourage older people or those with disability, but there is no mention of the steep and narrow stairs to reach the lower ground floor. We had to carry our aged dog up and down them. Also, the accommodation would sleep 5 adults, but there are sofas for 4 realistically. It would be a tight squeeze for 5 adults. Other than that the property was very clean and well appointed, apart from lacking some basic kitchen items, (we left a note for housekeeping) including a large saucepan - again we couldn't have cooked pasta for example for 5 adults without using two small saucepans. Enter the property into a spacious hallway, with a handy coat rack to hang your coats and motion sensor lighting, head to the open-plan living area, with a newly-fitted kitchen, housing a range of integrated amenities, including a dishwasher, microwave, fridge, freezer and washer/dryer.Prepare delicious home-cooked meals, which can be enjoyed by the whole group at the lovely oak dining table, before retiring to the sitting room to relax on one of the sofas, admiring the incredible harbour views on offer, or enjoying watching the Smart TV.

  Overall we were all very pleased with the property and thought it was very nice.

  There re a slight few things however this is me being picky and I’m sure others wouldn’t be. I do believe that the write up needs to describe better the steep stairs down to the living room and kitchen. Although it didn’t cause major issues for us my mums little dog struggled with them so we were having to pick him up and carry him a lot. Overall the property was clean but there were parts where you can tell there hasn’t been any attention to detail. Dead insects in the bathroom and on the windowsill, which to be fair at this time of year is to be expected although if the property is cleaned the day of checking in I’m not sure how it could happen. There were areas that hadn’t been vacced up properly which we had to then do. Skirting boards with dust all over them which I cleaned myself. Washing machine smelt and hadn’t been cleaned around the rim. Just little things that would make the stay more comfortable. The beds were really comfy and had a great nights sleep and the views over the harbour were fantastic. Great position as well for exploring Falmouth and the surrounding areas.

  Initially when we arrived we were taken back by how lovely the environment and the area of the cottage was in.

  However it then came to light that you were not allowed to leave your pets in the cottage unattended, which was not on the listing (had it of been we would have booked elsewhere) We found the whole experience intrusive with the lack of privacy and the handyman/ owners mate (so he says) interpreting our stay most days. The property gives a feel that it is being run like a hotel and that is not what we were looking for. On the 3rd Night another party arrived to stay in the adjacent cottage and that was the straw that broke the camels back, they where in the rear of their cottage in the early hours shouting laughing and very drunk, waking us up at 0300am and not going quite until gone 0530am. This made us realise how close the other property’s were to us and again this was not mentioned in the listing. We left earlier because we could not stay there anymore because of the fore mentioned issues. All I can say if you want a nice place to stay that’s a slightly nicer environment than Butlin’s then book here your love it. I will not be going back.
