Kitchen well equipped, clean, both the bed & sofas very comfortable. The only negative comment would be that the listing is NOT correct - it is not an enclosed garden so if you have a dog this could be a problem - not an issue I suspect in the winter months but during the warmer months you would not be able to leave the patio doors open. It would not take much to make it enclosed as it just needs more fencing in 1 corner to sort out the problem. Either way this needs to be done or Sykes need to change the listing.

The property was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. It was just a short drive away from Falmouth town centre and some lovely beaches. A few small negatives that would be easy to sort out to make stays in the future better: We took our 2 small dogs and the garden wasnât secure, which meant that we couldn't have the french doors open. An extra panel of trellis would solve the problem. As mentioned in other reviews, for a family of four we did need to use the booster to have enough hot water for everyone to have a short shower in the morning and to do the washing up in the evening. We looked at the timer for the water tank and it didnât look as though we could adjust the time that the water was heating up, which was a shame. Once the red light lit up indicating that the water heater was on, we then used the dial to boost the hot water for an additional hour. One other small niggle was that the bunk beds were a bit rickety! Possibly tightening the bolts would sort that out. Other than that, we had a lovely stay, and would like to return in the future!

However the kitchen and bathroom are in need of updating, with the radiator and shelving in the bathroom dangerously loose and the kitchen hop not secured to the worktop. The garden is not enclosed completely as advertised and was overgrown and untidy. The onsite fuel cafe and bar are great with plenty of beaches bars and restaurants within a short drive
