Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Joylands to be clean and tidy, though there were isolated comments about specific areas needing more attention, such as the living room carpet and the presence of dog hair. The bathroom cleanliness was also questioned by one guest, but overall, the property seems to maintain a good standard of hygiene.
The location of Joylands is highly praised for its convenience, being close to Falmouth and within easy reach of local pubs, shops, and attractions. The peaceful village setting and the availability of public transport are also appreciated, contributing to a positive experience for guests.
Guests generally find the bungalow comfortable, with special mentions of the pleasant views and the warmth of the property. However, some guests noted that the mattresses and seating could be improved, and the thin curtains allowing in too much light affected the comfort level for some.
Facilities at Joylands are considered adequate, with a well-equipped kitchen and good internet connectivity. However, there are remarks about the need for maintenance, such as fixing outdoor lights, updating the shower, and addressing minor issues like missing bulbs and a complicated oven. The steep driveway was also noted as a potential challenge.
There is insufficient information to assess the thoughtfulness of the host in terms of gifts or special touches, as reviews do not mention these aspects. Therefore, a score cannot be provided for this category.

The bungalow was fab and had every thing we needed.. The garden area was great for the dog and a family bbq. The area is close enough to visit many places of interest. The only negative is that on arrival they didn't supply a small bottle milk or tea/coffee which would have been nice as most places do offer this now....especially after a long trip.
