What our customers say about their holidays

  The property was great - a real home from home and would certainly recommend without any hesitancy.

  The whole family agreed that it would be our preferred place to stay if we come back to Newquay. There were some slight issues, which I hope will be useful. The main bedroom door - top hinge is loose, causing the door to drop slightly, so it doesn't close properly. On-suite bathroom: door hing is slightly bent, so causes sticking when closed. A member of our family needed assistance to get out. Bulb missing on mirror. Kitchen: The star LED lights on the wall could do with a simple remote plug-in plug. There's a potential hazard if the existing double adapter, which was hangoing out of the socket, were to fall. Amazon unit on the counter could not be used. It kept asking for a login. Hall to bedrooms off kitchen: ceiling bulb not working. Garden: Potential hazard for children. There is easy access to the pergola beams and fall from the grass walkway leading to the hammocks. Hall to bedroom with diamond window: ceiling bulb not working. Downstairs toilet: door latch does not meet. Inside bolt very tight. Downstairs bathroom: bolt does not meet. Second light not working. Guide book states, in reference to cooker, "Please read instruction at rear of this guide to usage." But no instructions. Same applies for washing machine and tumble dryer. Guide mentions television in kitchen - but there isn't one. The above list are things I noticed could do with fixing. They aren't major issues and did not spoil our enjoyment of this lovely home. I mention them because they are little maintenance issues that could quite easily be missed. Regards, Philip

  On the plus side, this is a modern, clean and broadly well equipped property with some thoughtful furnishing etc touches which help to make it feel like a home from home.

  On the negative side, the WiFi was very slow and at evening peak usage times frequently non-existent (confirmed by the router flashing orange to indicate no internet connection). I do not think it acceptable today to advertise WiFi when its download speed varies between 0 and 2 Mbps. The seating in the lounge comprised a settee big enough for three people, an armchair, a foot stool and a bean bag. It is advertised as sleeping six people. I would not entertain trying to sit six people on that furniture - personally I would not book it for four people. There were just two of us and so it was OK. Whilst crockery, cutlery, etc. provisions were excellent, other niceties were lacking. I think this is the only property I can recall renting where a pint of milk was not provided. There was only enough liquid soap in the two bathrooms to last overnight. No tea towel was provided which is necessary even when there is a dishwasher and again has always been provided in every property I have ever booked in the past. For a 10 out of 10 rating from me, these small items would need to be provided, broadband speed increased to at least 20 Mbps and the property advertised for four, not six, people.

  We had a lovely holiday stay in Apple Barn and the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog.

  Pauline (Housekeeping) was lovely in taking care of us and making us feel welcome and the welcome email and handy app from the owners prior to arrival is a brilliant idea so you have everything at your finger tips if you if you need it. For me this would be 5 stars if it had a larger bathroom and softer mattress in one of the rooms. The current shower room which is just off the kitchen is tiny for a two bed property. Even my 6 foot husband couldn’t sit on the toilet properly because of lack of space which isn’t ideal and could be an issue for even taller occupants. The shower room sink also became quite blocked during our stay, but once the owner was contacted they did say they would sort this straight away before the next guest stay. A lovely place and location to stay. We have stayed in Lavender Barn too before which is across the road and given this is only 1 bed, it feels a much larger property.

  We had such a great holiday but there were a couple of things we would have changed.

  There was hardly any outdoor space for the children to play considering the size of the property. All the windows didn’t have curtains so when there were people staying in the caravan they were able to see into the living room. My daughter had a few privacy issues and that is what she disliked the most. We could have done with another shower as it’s not always practical to have baths all the time so there was always a queue for the downstairs shower. The annex was really comfortable, well stocked for catering for big parties, dishwasher, washing machine and drier all a godsend with four mucky children!! Mary was a fabulous host (even thought we didn’t actually meet) but the one issue we had she sorted it and phoned me to apologise. All in all I would recommend this property with no hesitation. So worth the 6 hour drive.

  On arrival there was lots of cobwebs and spiders,if it was cleaned prior to our arrival ther shouldn't be any.

  Pots and pans could do with some replacing,we couldn't use 1 frying pan as it was rusty inside. Could do with a couple more big saucepans. The house is lovely and comfortable but it's damp,all our clothes felt damp come the end of the week,there was mould on the net curtain in the downstairs bedroom. Apart from these few things we had a lovely holiday and would definitely recommend. Asked for the hot tub to be cleaned as there were alot of us using it and a man was there early the next day(thankyou so much). The beds were really comfortable. The multi table was great,could probably do with a tumble dryer as we had rain during the week and struggled to dry towels from being in the hot tub. And the bath towels. The area was lovely and didn't really notice the A30 which was quite close. The garden was great and secure.
