  'Could do better' in short.

  The location is great with lovely views onto the beach and down the coast. The cottage is fine in terms of room sizes and design. It was basically clean and tidy. However, it was let down by simple things. The garden was a mess with uncut grass, nettles and weeds. The paper lampshade in the sitting room was broken - really obviously broken to any cleaning team. The cutlery didn't match. When you sat on a dining room chair it would buckle slightly because a bolt was missing. There were no cooking trays, just an enormous roasting pan. There was no kitchen scourer when washing up that roaster after cooking in it. The Freeview didn't work. The double mattress needs changing. And - yes - I suppose this does all sound a little overfussy, until you combine them with the general tiredness of the decoration, marked carpets and a lack of any form of 'welcome pack'. In general terms, we enjoyed the location but don't feel encouraged to return to this accommodation, which is a shame because these are all simple things to get right. We tend to use Sykes Cottages because they achieve a certain quality of accommodation but this one doesn't reach that standard. A few practical points. The beach is lovely but the walk up and down isn't easy. The driveway down to the cottage is not the best for someone worried about their low-profile tyres. There needs to be some system in place for parking between the cottages on the site; there was no direction as to where to park which, although not an issue for us, could easily lead onto problems which might spoil someone's trip - tempers might get frayed!

  We absolutely loved our week here.

  What a beautiful house and garden in Sennen. Not too far to a beach or a pub for lunch and we spent our afternoons sunbathing in the garden on the lovely comfortable garden furniture- including a hammock. Met the neighbours including Kevin and Kitty the chihuahuas. Our dogs loved the space too and the beach of course. Most places are now dog friendly and even the dogs got a pack of treats. The welcome pack was the best ever at a property we have received and the scones clotted cream and jam were very tasty!! We only found Alexa a few days - like being at home. Fantastic array of stuff left in the house such as tea bags, some coffee pods, black bags, dishwasher and washing machine pods and things like salt and pepper and vinegar was in the cupboard- makes such a difference not having to buy (or travel with) all that stuff! When we were there another company I had booked a holiday with got in touch to say we had been double booked and would I like a refund or book somewhere else - so refund it was and we re-booked Stargazers for my birthday in September. It is a little expensive (for a skint NHS worker) but you get what you pay for - I’d like to book every year to go back! By far the best air bnb we have stayed in! No visitor book to sign or comment and no owner manual but all the instructions for microwave etc were in the kitchen- the microwave looked a bit space age - but found the instructions and it was easy then! Thanks to the neighbour who recommended beaches and places to visit but we mainly chilled at the house - oh and we took Harry the tortoise

  Only really minor things for us: Light switch in downstairs bedroom broken - managed to get this to work on the last day only.

  Lamp in place which was sufficient. Bed nearest window in downstairs bedroom has a distinct lean! We like to cook whilst away but struggled to find any baking tray other than a roasting dish in the oven and pasta/oven dishes other than one round one. Would also benefit from more cutlery. We could not find DVD player, selection of books or DVD's as in description. Did find 3 games. Not a problems for us but may be for a family. Otherwise was a great place to stay. Helpful information about the place and access to the beach on arrival and we were allowed straight in although early. Great views which is restricted but this is in the property information/photos. We loved the view as can see all across Sennen to the left, but also see the sea to the right from each room. Walk down to the beach is great to access the dog friendly beach but was a bit of a challenge coming back up for us!! Place was clean and comfy. Cleaning items available - easily found in a cupboard along with the hoover. We found the beds ok. Slightly firm but we were fine with this. Garden is separate to the property just across the drive but is secluded and also has great views across Sennen. Great to have parking on site. Would stay again.

  An excellent location and view from a nice house.

  Overall it was as described and very nice, kitchen facilities were excellent and complete, a hair dryer is provided in the double bedroom. Some very minor niggles... Flooring downstairs in need of improvement, downstairs shower has weak pressure with no shelf to put products. Upstairs shower slow to drain. Washer-dryer has no rapid wash or dry feature. Heating system impossible to understand. Downstairs bedroom had a very poor set of drawers. Satellite map to beach impossible to follow, we were unaware of the easy path close to the house. Basins in both bathrooms had no mixer tap and extremely hot water. Although described as pet friendly it was hard to relax due to the sctrict rules on pets, with no cleaning facility for them outside or near the entrances. If driving, on the way to the property the first supermarket you encounter is Lidl, but it should be noted there are others a little closer, including a gigantic Sainsbury's with a cheap petrol station and a good Marks and Spencer.

  The holiday house was even better than we imagined!

  ! The house is modern whilst homely with lovely furnishings throughout. Everything and more was provided including kitchen foodstuff items such as salt and pepper and the extensive welcome hamper was much appreciated which also included treats for the dog. We also found a cupboard with extra sheets, towels and beach towels which we never used as we brought our own. Great location, remote enough but also close to local pubs and shops. Be aware you can walk to the beach but it’s down (and then up!) steep hills so a good 25 minute walk (we drove instead!). We couldn’t fault this place and had everything we needed and the master bedroom is very special with the full length windows, balcony and views. The only thing missing was maybe some instructions such as bin day and the cleaning filter for the coffee machine as the warning light came on whilst we were there. We would definitely recommend this place as a luxurious holiday home in a great location to explore Cornwall.
