  A wonderful space both in and out, great to have use of a garage as had kayak and surfboards with us.

  Very clean and lovely to arrive to makings for cream tea and a pint of milk. Smart TV allowed access to own entertainment channels which was nice on the evenings where we had no plans. Good basic provisions for clean comfortable stay downstairs. The master bedroom is a great size and deserves a bigger bed that and a little investment in better mattresses. The curtains are really inadequate for keeping light out, I would suggest some black out blinds in all rooms for those that prefer not to wake at first light on holiday. Sadly these are the two reasons we would not book again, or recommend despite such a lovely space. A medium size investment in a high quality King size or Super King size bed, good quality mattress and black out blinds would make this place an absolute perfect place to stay. I would also respectfully suggest binning the Polypropylene bath mat that simply spreads water around the bathroom floor, an absorbent cotton one would be so much better. Not a deal breaker but an honest observation! This honest review should not take away from a property that is clearly maintained and cleaned to a high standard each week, and none of the criticism is made without a desire to thank the owners on all other fronts.

  This is a great house and as described.

  On arrival, the garden and appearance were pleasant and tidy. The house was very clean and functional with everything you could need. The toys in the children's bunk room and trampoline in garden were an added bonus for our twins, especially my son who has autism and loves jumping and baby toys. The owners also left Easter treats and tulips which made us feel very welcome. So thank you. The beds could be more slightly more comfortable. My husband and I shared the twin room and one bed was quite lumpy and kept me awake. A mattress topper would probably help. The shower was leaking into the kitchen slightly during our stay, but am sure this will get sorted, we just felt bad as had to shower knowing it leaked and dripped onto kitchen window. The garden was nice to sit in with a cuppa although this house is on a modern housing estate, so no views as such, but pleasant enough. Aside from these minor things, we really enjoyed staying near to Falmouth and just a short walk (around 15 minutes) to swanpool which is a lovely little beach with cafe. We have family in the area so it was a perfect base for us, we would stay here again.

  It’s the second time we’ve stayed here.

  Everything was as it should be apart from the sweeping damp in all the bedroom windows and it smelt damp when we came in. House was clean and very well equipped as it was the first time around but the damp was a bit of a problem. Even keeping windows open most of the day to keep fresh air in you could still smell the damp. I think the house it’s self it wonderful but we wouldn’t return purely because the damp hadn’t just got there over night it had built up over time that was overlooked. Also the new bedsheets in the double room and twin room felt like they had just come out of a packet, really stiff and not comfortable at all. I feel awful for writing this but I’m also in the tourist business myself and that wouldn’t happen on my watch. Sorry

  We had a great stay at dragonflies and seahorses.

  The house had everything you could possibly need for your holiday, including buckets and spades for the beach. The house was extremely clean and tidy with everything needed to maintain while your there. The garden is a great little added space, where my children enjoyed football and rhe trampoline. There's a lovely little path just over the road that is only a 10 minute walk to swanpool beach and a really nice sea food restaurant called Hooked on the Rocks. You can carry on along the coastal path as long as you want, if is beautiful. There's lots of things to do in the local area and lots of lovely restaurants. Thanks for a great holiday.

  The property is well fitted out and it is like home from home.

  Bedding and towels provided, with extra in the cupboard. However as the property is in dire need of TLC - new bathroom, downstairs loo, a really good deep clean and redecorating and a new comfortable sofa. The property looks really grubby. The bath is rusty, radiator is rusty. The non slip stuck in mats in the bath are dirty & grubby. The cupboard under the stairs smells absolutely disgusting. You are requested to leave the property clean and tidy even stripping the beds!!!! Sadly though the owner clearly needs to do the same!
