What our customers say about their holidays

  First glances, the property was lovely - just as it was portrayed.

  However, things started to go wrong almost immediately. I tried both contact numbers given to me as I had an issue with not being able to use the 'smart' TVs - the first number was unavailable, and I left a voicemail on the second number (Malcolm or Matthew?), requesting a call back, which I never got. So, for the whole holiday, we were only able to use the TVs as normal, terrestrial sets. Not a major thing, but the fact that no-one could be bothered to ring us back got me quite angry - and that's when the other faults started to raise their head (remember, one returned call would have sorted all of these issues). Below is a list, in no particular order: We were unable to use the gas hob – the safety lock had been engaged, but the knob to release it was broken off (it looked like this had been gone for some time, and that various attempts had been made to glue something to do it) – so, oven cooking only. There was an unpleasant smell in the property; on the day we arrived, a plumber gained access to replace something in the upstairs toilet, as he said the smell had been reported previously – this obviously didn’t fix it. Bird Poo – I know this is a major issue in the park, due to House Martins nesting in the eaves of the properties; however, I didn’t expect to have to ‘jump’ over the doorstep because it was covered in this stuff – there was nothing available to clean it with – I didn’t pay the sort of money charged, just to have to clean poo away every day, anyway. Finally, there was the outside décor; this property did not look like it had been painted for a while, and there was a lot of peeling paint. Also, there were broken boards on the panel at the front – one ripped off and lying on the ground, and 2 or 3 others hanging off.

  This property was great.

  Two couples one with mobility problems. So the downstairs bedroom and bathroom worked well. We also took our young springer spaniel and he was settled too. All Was Very clean, kitchen well stocked with most things you need for cooking. Sitting area downstairs good for daytime, upstairs used during the evening. We found the location enabled us to access local attractions on both coasts. A lovely relaxing break. We were very lucky with the too which helped! It would be helpful to have local information available, away resorts didn't give us their pack, but we collected one and left it behind, also a visitors book were recommendations could be left would be good. We loved birds of prey, which was just a few miles away. We had a lovely visit to Padstow Trerice national trust property was great, fabulous afternoon tea offer! Watergate beach was beautiful. We had a drink at the beach hut the food looked and smelt amazing, but booking is essential! St Austell as a place to visit us is rubbish but the beaches along that coast are beautiful we are told!

  A beautiful, spacious, fairly well maintained property on a lovely holiday resort with lots of activities to hand.

  Spectacular views with all the home comforts and more. We had a couple of issues during our stay with a slightly broken dining chair (which we couldn’t use) and a grill handle which just came off in my daughter’s hand. I love the property and location and have already booked up for next year however there is one ongoing problem to do with drainage which certainly needs resolving. When we first entered the property there was a strong smell of sewage which the cleaners tried to rectify, prior to our arrival, by fully opening windows. This offensive smell reoccurred however, a few times during our stay which spoilt an almost perfect stay.

  It was a great stay and the facilities were good.

  The beds were firm, big and comfortable, they were not cheap mattresses you sometimes see. Some minor negatives would be; the disposal of the rubbish was confusing as we were expected to take it to the site’s recycling area, and there was only 1 bin provided so this task was made difficult. The lodge could have benefited with some more board games, especially for entertaining the children. Last negative would be the lack of heating in the sites swimming pool changing room, it was Baltic.

  We had a wonderful holiday.

  The house is lovely and has plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 children. The area is lovely too and although the weather could have been a bit better we did lots of nice things. It's easy to get around and we enjoyed Healeys cider farm, the Eden project, Padstow, Chapel Porth, and a day on the train to Looe. The kids enjoyed paddleboarding and a turn at the aqua park. We had a couple of small issues but the owner was very helpful and got them sorted out.
