What our customers say about their holidays

  As seasoned travelers and at that age to know better, it was somewhat a deflating moment in all honesty.

  The price was high and the amenities were somewhat lacking. My first encounter with the owner was also disappointing as our holiday property boasted of a BBQ and a hot tub. Well the BBQ was just the basic brick built effort with a metal grill for which you could place a throw away BBQ set that you would have to purchase. Jokingly I said to the owner what about yours which was the top of the range gas BBQ, and the face said it all. It didn't end there either. The double bed was soft and clearly seen better days, as for the pull out settee that was in the living room was a newish leather settee, that was fixed, and was rock hard, with very little give. The shower room was a little run down and could have done with a spruce up, but it was adequate. My snag list would be. Attention to detail and it would start in the shower room which looked a little run down the ventilation was poor and the shower unit wasn't that user friend to operate. In the kitchen and living area, it was super compact and had limited workspace to use in preparing food. Whilst we all understand that no place will ever tick every box, this place for us was below what we have experienced anywhere else, and that is saying something. The patio was cramp, and the hot tub cover wasn't easy to operate without the need of a second person. A tip would be to offer a small child's fishing net to clear out all the dead flies as a hot tub seems to be a magnet for them. Air Con would be a positive step in the right direction for these people to up their game, but other than that we were relieved to leave early, than our departure date. I do wish them well, but retrospectively, they do need to remember that holiday makers still want the creature comforts of home too. Regards Denis Brown

  Clean as a whistle.

  Lovely friendly helpful owners with nice doggies of their own that are also friendly! I loved that Dawn had horses too, in particular the white one that liked to neigh to you as a hello! Private use of the garden was great, just a few steps from the private courtyard. All dog safe. Dawn got us some garden chairs and put them in the garden because you do get the sun in there. Our dog loved it because it’s was long enough for a ball throwing session. Loads of parking. Supermarkets plenty a short drive away and the Co op walking distance. Had dinner at The Coach And Horses a couple of times. Recommend. Went into Newlyn about 3 times. Good fish and chips cooked to order and also the visit he Mackerel Sky fish bistro..... no bookings taken you just turn up. Hot tub was used every day and always hot. (It’s does make a humming sound in the night but we ignored that). Shower room a good size with strong shower and heated towel rail you can turn on if needed. Kitchen equipped enough and has a dishwasher but we tend to was up by hand.....old habits die hard, lol. Bed was comfortable enough for us if a bit small. Other half is quite a big guy. Not heavy just broad. All locals we spoke to were friendly and recommended walks. Weather wasn’t that good but we had a relaxing break. Even if weather not great it’s still good to be in the 38 degree bubbles. Thanks Ian and Dawn xx

  We had an amazing break at Sea Sands in March 2022.

  The property is amazing and the photos don’t quite do it justice. The view from the living room and master bedroom is breathtaking and the careful details in the design of the building and layout truly make this special. We had no problems with our stay at all, however the owner Gina was very friendly providing all of the relevant information needed for our stay prior to visiting. The accommodation itself was modern and sleek but still kept its homely and comfortable feel. The property is airy and bright and the furnishings are high quality. Peaceful and natural surroundings brought a feeling of calm throughout the entire week, especially looking out to such a wonderful view of the sea. The hot tub was brilliant, including the outside hot shower which is a blessing in winter months. High quality towels and bedding provided, along side toiletries and a lovely welcome pack which is a really nice touch. There is everything you can think of regarding cooking equipment and this was the highest standard of any property we have stayed in. I can’t speak highly enough of this property and would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the Cornish coast.

  Ian and Dawn were very friendly.

  The accommodation was very clean, there were instruction manuals for dishwasher, washing machine, cooker and microwave, which in all the years I've done self catering this is the first time I've seen this. The mattress was a little bit soft for me and my husband and because of previous feedback about the pillows being to soft I took my own very expensive pillow but left it there, Dawn has kindly said she will post it back to me, if it had been a cheap pillow I won't have bothered asking them to send it back. As you come out on to the main road and turn right there is a chip shop a bit further on is a co-op and further on again there is the coach & horses, the food was very enjoyable, booking advised. Turn left onto the main road from the accommodation and there is a all you can eat Chinese restaurants, cant comment on the food as we didn't go there. Because of the weather we only used the hot tub a couple of times, the heat was kept at a steady 38, the levels were checked daily by Dawn. All in all it was a very relaxing stay just what we wanted.

  Sea Sands is beautiful, luxurious and comfortable.

  It has everything you could need and it offers magnificent unobstructed views across the Celtic Sea! A spectator sport is to watch the shipping, air traffic or the wait to spot sea life with your binoculars. The sky at night is also a beautiful sight with the Milky Way right above you. Watch out too for the space station and star link satellite train if the clear skies permit. It is minutes away from the beautiful beach where the surfers love to play and at the permitted time of year the dogs can also roam. Praa Sands is lovely, a small place with few shops and pubs but what it's got is more than enough if you like simplicity, some pub grub, and the freshest sea air while you sip your favourite tipple. Gina (property owner) keeps a watchful eye on the standard you should expect on arrival and mid-way and was quick to sort a few minor issues. She is friendly and very helpful. All together a wonderful holiday destination and we hope to be back very soon. :-)
