What our customers say about their holidays

  First glances, the property was lovely - just as it was portrayed.

  However, things started to go wrong almost immediately. I tried both contact numbers given to me as I had an issue with not being able to use the 'smart' TVs - the first number was unavailable, and I left a voicemail on the second number (Malcolm or Matthew?), requesting a call back, which I never got. So, for the whole holiday, we were only able to use the TVs as normal, terrestrial sets. Not a major thing, but the fact that no-one could be bothered to ring us back got me quite angry - and that's when the other faults started to raise their head (remember, one returned call would have sorted all of these issues). Below is a list, in no particular order: We were unable to use the gas hob – the safety lock had been engaged, but the knob to release it was broken off (it looked like this had been gone for some time, and that various attempts had been made to glue something to do it) – so, oven cooking only. There was an unpleasant smell in the property; on the day we arrived, a plumber gained access to replace something in the upstairs toilet, as he said the smell had been reported previously – this obviously didn’t fix it. Bird Poo – I know this is a major issue in the park, due to House Martins nesting in the eaves of the properties; however, I didn’t expect to have to ‘jump’ over the doorstep because it was covered in this stuff – there was nothing available to clean it with – I didn’t pay the sort of money charged, just to have to clean poo away every day, anyway. Finally, there was the outside décor; this property did not look like it had been painted for a while, and there was a lot of peeling paint. Also, there were broken boards on the panel at the front – one ripped off and lying on the ground, and 2 or 3 others hanging off.

  Great property + great location = great holiday.

  The three adults plus two small dogs in our party all have a great time here. Seaview was spotlessly clean on our arrival and had some nice personalised touches that we appreciated. We found the kitchen/dining area a little "compact" but it wasn't a problem as we worked around this easily enough and anyway, it was more than compensated for by the large and comfortable lounge. The bedrooms were well furnished, comfortable and had a good storage space. Worth mentioning that the kitchen was particularly well equipped with all manner of pots, pans, casseroles, knives, dishes etc. There were even two different kinds of vegetable peeler! The nominated parking spaces were a bonus too. Located at the end of a private road, Seaview was quiet yet had amazing panoramic views of the sea that were captivating whether sunny or stormy. It's 50m above sea level so there's a bit of a climb back up from Coverack itself or the small (and almost private) Porthbeer Cove with its mixture rocky/sandy beach. Its only 700m (not the mile quoted in the Sykes listing) by footpath to the lovely Coverack harbour with the excellent (if somewhat pricey) Lifeboat chippie and Paris Hotel. Good coast path walks in both directions right from the door. We toured the area a bit. We enjoyed Loe Bar and Porthleven in rough weather – these can be accessed from car parks in the north of Loe Bar or the NT Penrose Estate. The Spingo beer at the Blue Anchor in Helston was as good as I remember it from 40 years ago and the walk around Lizard Point excellent and sparsely populated once you got 200m from the car parks! Note that Seaview's location is nowhere near that indicated on the Sykes mapping. Exceeded expectations.

  What a lovely place to stay.

  The cottage was clean, well stocked with all the equipment we might need both in the kitchen and living room where there was a selection of books, games and dvds alongside lots of tourist information leaflets. I spent a lot of time enjoying the view from the front bedroom out to sea. The cottage is set in a beautiful background with well maintained gardens around it and lots to explore. The nearby sculpture park is a nice easy stroll away, free to go around and dog friendly. We spent a lot of time walking along the coastal path exploring, swimming in the sea and watching seals on the rocks. There is a beach at low tide only 10 minutes walk away. Coverack is a beautiful village with a large dog friendly beach, good essential food shop, cafe, pub, chippy and restaurants. This is a good place to stay with lots nearby to do and also lots a short drive away. We felt very welcomed as soon as we arrived with the gift of some lovely cookies a pack of playing cards and a beautiful local card with a message on it left by the owners. Definitely will be going back. Loved every minute there.

  This property was great.

  Two couples one with mobility problems. So the downstairs bedroom and bathroom worked well. We also took our young springer spaniel and he was settled too. All Was Very clean, kitchen well stocked with most things you need for cooking. Sitting area downstairs good for daytime, upstairs used during the evening. We found the location enabled us to access local attractions on both coasts. A lovely relaxing break. We were very lucky with the too which helped! It would be helpful to have local information available, away resorts didn't give us their pack, but we collected one and left it behind, also a visitors book were recommendations could be left would be good. We loved birds of prey, which was just a few miles away. We had a lovely visit to Padstow Trerice national trust property was great, fabulous afternoon tea offer! Watergate beach was beautiful. We had a drink at the beach hut the food looked and smelt amazing, but booking is essential! St Austell as a place to visit us is rubbish but the beaches along that coast are beautiful we are told!

  What a lovely house!

  The views are stunning and the grounds around the complex are worth exploring. My sister-in-law loved the view from her front bedroom window with the passing boats and ships. Our six year old grandson loved taking me around the little paths. The kitchen is very well equipped although I could have done with a roasting pan! Managed fine with what was available. Thank you to Rachel and Sean for the welcome card and delicious biscuits. Although my sister-in-law is somewhat arthritic she managed the stairs ok, thanks the handrail and the bannister, albeit slowly. We loved having the beach just a short walk away and our grandson couldn't wait to go down to jump the waves! It's a nice walk to Coverack along the coast path and we saw some of the Regatta events. Good Fish 'n chip shop in Coverack too! We would definitely recommend Seaview for a relaxing or active seaside holiday whatever you prefer! We hope to come again sometime. Angela and family.
