Guests say

Guests have had delightful stays at Gennaker, praising its cleanliness, modern amenities, and convenient location for exploring Cornwall. The property's proximity to Carbis Bay Beach and St. Ives, along with thoughtful touches and a warm welcome, contribute to its charm, despite some minor maintenance issues.

The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as spotless and well-kept, indicating meticulous attention to detail in its upkeep.

The location is highly regarded for its convenience to Carbis Bay Beach and St. Ives, with scenic walks and good transport links. However, the steep hills may be challenging for some, slightly impacting the score.

Comfort is well-received with praise for the property's warmth and cosiness. Some guests found the beds too firm and the boiler noisy, which slightly lowers the score.

Facilities are generally considered excellent, with high-standard appliances and furniture. Some feedback on heating instructions and light maintenance suggests room for improvement.

Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like welcome gifts, although it's important to note that such amenities are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.
