What our customers say about their holidays

  We loved our stay at "The Chace" we chose this place for convenience as we have family in Portreath!

  And knowing what parking can be like especially in summer time we had no worries as parking is at the property. On approach we were pleasantly surprised as it looked tidy from the outside with its own driveway at the rear. On entry to the property it smelled clean and not musty and there is a good sized kitchen diner that had everything you need! Well equipped. Light and airy with a lovely welcome pack. The lounge was lovely too with a smart t v which was good as main tv channels in the area are limited for free view channels. We loved the nautical theme through the home. Internet was good too for general use. Stairs are nice and wide. Bedrooms were a good size as was the bathroom and all light and airy and clean. Main bed was super comfy for us! Peter and Jackie have really put great effort into making this a home from home for their guests. If you go on holiday looking for dust or 1 hair you will find it but compared to the many holiday homes we have stayed in around cornwall this was in the top three without question. We loved it and appreciated it and will return. Being a pet friendly home we were surprised there was no doggy smells considering it is close to a beach where dogs get wet! The only 1 thing I would mention is a new can opener maybe but that's all we could complain about lol Loved it and thank you

  We stayed in the Rosebud House for a week and it was very pleasant. The place was very clean when we arrived and we had a lovely pamper box with tea, coffee, shortbread etc. which was so nice. Also few bits of cleaning products were provided. Although the house is small it was enough for 3 of us and had everything we needed. All kitchen stuff were brand new. When we arrived the TV wasn't working and was replaced within couple of hours!!! In the end we had a much bigger and better one. The service was so quick and helpful. The location is fine and not far from a shop, bakery, cafe, pubs and the beach. To improve the place it could do with less squeaky floors, more outside lighting as the outside seating area had none, the kitchen fan being installed more safely and the living room area lighting being less bright. It wasn't dimmable and was either very dark or extremely bright.

  We were surprised that we were only supplied with one toilet roll for the week.

  There is an aerial cable from the roof into the side wall which goes down the side of the gutter pipe. This was quite loose and in the strong wind kept us awake by flapping noisily against the down pipe. A temporary fix was made with sellotape. Two of the kitchen lights were dead so we replaced these, leaving no spares. We left a note to this effect. We were surprised that no mention was made of recycling, someone had left a lot of plastic bottles etc in the seagull-proof waste bag but the bin men did not take this. We brought all our recycling home! We were very comfortable in this spacious holiday home and very pleased at how many facilities Portreath has and all so close to The Chace. Shame that the beach is only dog-friendly after 7pm until 1 October though.

  We have booked The Chace on a number of occasion's and have always been satisfied with the quality of the property.

  On this occasion not so much, the cleaning was definitely below the standard of previous times we have been. It was very dusty behind the sofas, TV in the lounge and bedroom. The plug sockets and door in lounge was not cleaned. Generally the house smells really damp and was extremely cold when we arrived. Once we cleaned and warmed the house we did enjoy our stay. In my opinion I think the property could do with updating and a dishwasher and under counter freezer added. The freezer compartment of the fridge is totally inadequate for a stay for six people. Especially when it is all iced up in side. Which it was when we tried to use it. For the above reasons I am not sure I will return to The Chace next year ☹️

  Perfect holiday cottage.

  Well situated for easy access to beaches and attractions but there are also footpaths beginning within a very short distance of the front door, which was ideal for our two doggies. The cottage is comfortable and cosy and contained everything we could have wished for. In fact we could have happily lived there forever! The outdoor shower (with temperature control) is a great boon both for muddy dogs and muddy footwear. There are dog-proof fences all round the garden which, in certain spots, is not overlooked by neighbours. We would certainly recommend this property to anyone and hope to return in the not too distant future!
