  We've had an amazing family stay in flat 2.

  The flat itself is absolutely gorgeous and located in a beatififul spot overlooking the sea. What a blissful sight to awaken to each morning. Situated between Porth Beach & Watergate Bay it's ideal for sand & surf lovers. We will be highly recommending flat 2 to everyone we know. Just 2 little gripes, the first being the outside patio area. This was for us, and I'm sure many others, the main selling point of the accommodation. What better place to sit and sip a cuppa or eat lunch overlooking the sea. Sadly though, the patio furniture is in a poor state and the metal is all rusted. One of the chairs was rusted so badly it had snapped leaving dangeous rusty spikes. The plants are also too overgrown so once siting out there, the view of the sea is obstructed. A new patio set & a bit of TLC with the plants is all it would take to have this place perfect. The second little gripe is the boiler. We used the heating very briefly for one evening when it turned a little chilly. The boiler was intermittently rumbling and vibrating incredibly loud (kettling). It was very concerning so we turned it off. This is something that needs to be addressed ASAP as can lead to terrible consequences if left. Possibly a good service could fix this. To anyone reading. These are the only 2 minuses in an abundance of plusses this property presents. It truly is absolutely gorgeous. Once sorted, this is the perfect pad!

  The location of Constantine Bay Cottage is great; beautiful beach/coastline, YHA good for meals, close to Padstow, We’ve stayed at the Ocean Blue complex 4 times before, in different apartments, and been really impressed with all of them.

  However arrival at Constantine Bay Cottage was quite disappointing for the following reasons: 1. Floors hadn’t been cleaned properly- before unpacking we had to hoover the whole house. None of the corners/edges had been hoovered inc a large amount of dog hair in the main bedroom. 2. A used hair elastic was next to the main bed. 3. There was a welcome basket that contained only a used biro and a pot of drawing pins (no joke). When I moved the basket off the window sill there were dead flies underneath. 4. The outdoor area(s) clearly hadn’t been swept for a long time; covered in sand, cobwebs etc. In addition the bench seat was broken. 5. There were crumbs in some cupboards and mould running down the fridge seal. 6. Small thing - in every other self catering property we’ve always been left with a dishwasher tablet and a dish cloth. Nothing here so it was a good job I brought my own cleaning things. Our overall impression was of an uncared for property, yet charging a high price. Either the cleaners aren’t doing their job properly or they aren’t paid for enough time. It was disappointing (and annoying) to arrive and have to do so much cleaning. So, we’ll definitely be back to the Ocean Blue complex but definitely not to this cottage.

  We already fed back regarding extra hooks in the bathroom for long dressing gowns and a grab rail in the shower to avoid slips.

  The apartment was modern and well appointed and in a great position for exploring. The car parking was great and everything there we needed. A small bottle of milk would have been appreciated upon arrival. There was plenty of washing up liquid and soap etc but no salt, cooking oil or tea bags so be prepared and bring your own. Village shops expensive as expected. There is a Lidl and Aldi in Wadebridge to get groceries for the week if required. We are two older ladies so the visit to Tintagel Castle on the first day proved exhausting and really too much for us although enjoyable we suffered for the rest of the week with sciatica and aches and pains ... be warned! Local pubs are good but food very expensive so we cooked in the apartment. There are good facilities including a big Wok like pan that was great. We had a week and still didn't explore all the local little shops or even the Arthurian Centre with was only across the road! There is a lot to do round and about and if you are fit and like to walk you will love it. Ideal base for exploring.

  The flat itself was lovely.

  It was clean, spacious and appeared well maintained. Unfortunately the promised welcome pack wasn’t there on our arrival but the owner kindly sorted this out by the following morning which was really welcome! Sadly, our stay at this flat was ruined by the noise from the restaurant below. Yes, the fact the flat is above a restaurant is mentioned in the details but the reality of this situation was very upsetting for us. There is clearly no soundproofing between the restaurant and the flat and you can feel vibrations from the music and conversations through the bedroom floors which went on until very late in the night, keeping us all awake and upsetting the children greatly. Sleep and rest while on holiday is vital but this situation resulted in only getting minimal sleep each night and coming home feeling horribly tired and disappointed. It’s such a shame the restaurant noise has spoilt such a lovely flat and a potentially relaxing holiday. We sadly would not recommend this particular place, sorry.

  I honestly can’t find a single fault with Harbour Light!

  We have stayed in a fair few places in Boscastle and my Dad has been visiting for 40 years and this place blew him away. The view of the harbour from the apartment is the best in Boscastle by far, the place was immaculately clean and well furnished. The kitchen and bathroom were top notch and the bedrooms were really comfy. There’s everything in the apartment that you could want and I imagine it is very warm if you visit in winter time. Loading and unloading the car is really easy with plenty of space to pull up right outside the front door, then all you have to do is park at the public car park in the village. If you get a week long ticket with the Just Park app then it works out really cheap daily. At time of writing it cost £15.10 to park for 7 days. Great that you can check in at 3pm, others in the village are much later. The whole thing was very simple. I really couldn’t find a single bad thing to say about our stay, we will be back for sure!
