  The views from all the windows at the rear of the property are exceptional and to die for.

  There is no parking outside the property but the owners have taken out a parking permit for a space in the road below which was much appreciated. The property was well equipped, comfortable, and clean with the exception of the plinth on the wardrobe in the ground floor bedroom which had not seen a duster for some time. There is also an Alexa in the lounge which we found very useful in the evening. The location is easy for getting in and out of Falmouth and good restaurants and pubs are easily within reach. However, be aware that there are steep slopes and steps to and from the centre of the town and its facilities if you have mobility issues. This property was booked by us as there was a ground floor bedroom with an ensuite and a walk in shower. This led us to believe it would be suitable for my friend who has mobility issues. The open plan kitchen, diner and lounge are on the lower floor and have been converted from a cellar. As such there are some ten or twelve steep narrow steps without a proper handrail to reach the lower floor. The beautiful full length windows in the rear facing bedrooms give excellent views but the small windows at the very top are not easily reached if you have height or mobility issues. There are no hair dryers and the rear facing bedroom on the first floor does not have a socket within reach to use the mirror on the wall. The hospitality pack was very poor and not up to the standards of previous Sykes cottages we have rented. There were only tea and biscuits with a pint of milk in the fridge and no flowers. Some suggestions for the owners which they may wish to consider would be a grab rail at the front door as one of the steps is deep. Also grab rails and a full shower length bath mat in the walk in shower and waste bins in the bedrooms. We enjoyed our week in the property and would not hesitate at all to recommend it to people once they are aware of the issues mentioned above.

  Sat 07 Sept 24 - Thurs 12th Sept 24 We are very disappointed in our stay at this apartment as primarily our reason for choosing it and what we paid for fell short in the following areas.

  Firstly I’d like to address what was advertised in the description which we simply didn’t have. (I have screenshots of the apartment description if u need to see them) A Smart TV. There was no tv in this property whatsoever and we wouldn’t have booked if we knew this. We have a small child with us and on rainy days we could have used a smart tv to watch a movie, also it would have been nice to have the morning news on everyday. A Microwave, there was no microwave which made it very difficult to warm our babies milk in the morning and night and also warm up baby food throughout the day. The large extractor fan above the kitchen island doesn’t work and created lots of smoke when cooking. The extractor on the wall isn’t fit for purpose and is the opposite side of the kitchen. The garden is half finished. Not very nice to look at, and should feature in the photos as we were under the impression we’d have a recently refurbished garden as advertised. There wasn’t enough warm water for 4 people to have a quick shower each morning. This meant our son had a cold shower most mornings and there was no warm water throughout the day until 2pm. This again wasn’t advertised. The WiFi is incredibly slow as well. This combined with no tv meant we couldn’t even stream movies on our phones very well. I look forward to seeing what compensation u can offer based on the simple fact that what was advertised and paid for wasn’t provided. As a business owner myself, if I advertise a product and don’t deliver on what I advertised, I cannot in good faith charge for something that is essentially false advertisement. Kind Regards, Tony

  Below are the details from the webpage.

  I have a couple of issues. The first sentence is not correct, you head not only DOWNSTAIRS to the open plan living area, you also head down STEEP stairs. The listing states ground floor bedroom, which would perhaps encourage older people or those with disability, but there is no mention of the steep and narrow stairs to reach the lower ground floor. We had to carry our aged dog up and down them. Also, the accommodation would sleep 5 adults, but there are sofas for 4 realistically. It would be a tight squeeze for 5 adults. Other than that the property was very clean and well appointed, apart from lacking some basic kitchen items, (we left a note for housekeeping) including a large saucepan - again we couldn't have cooked pasta for example for 5 adults without using two small saucepans. Enter the property into a spacious hallway, with a handy coat rack to hang your coats and motion sensor lighting, head to the open-plan living area, with a newly-fitted kitchen, housing a range of integrated amenities, including a dishwasher, microwave, fridge, freezer and washer/dryer.Prepare delicious home-cooked meals, which can be enjoyed by the whole group at the lovely oak dining table, before retiring to the sitting room to relax on one of the sofas, admiring the incredible harbour views on offer, or enjoying watching the Smart TV.

  Overall we were all very pleased with the property and thought it was very nice.

  There re a slight few things however this is me being picky and I’m sure others wouldn’t be. I do believe that the write up needs to describe better the steep stairs down to the living room and kitchen. Although it didn’t cause major issues for us my mums little dog struggled with them so we were having to pick him up and carry him a lot. Overall the property was clean but there were parts where you can tell there hasn’t been any attention to detail. Dead insects in the bathroom and on the windowsill, which to be fair at this time of year is to be expected although if the property is cleaned the day of checking in I’m not sure how it could happen. There were areas that hadn’t been vacced up properly which we had to then do. Skirting boards with dust all over them which I cleaned myself. Washing machine smelt and hadn’t been cleaned around the rim. Just little things that would make the stay more comfortable. The beds were really comfy and had a great nights sleep and the views over the harbour were fantastic. Great position as well for exploring Falmouth and the surrounding areas.

  Initially when we arrived we were taken back by how lovely the environment and the area of the cottage was in.

  However it then came to light that you were not allowed to leave your pets in the cottage unattended, which was not on the listing (had it of been we would have booked elsewhere) We found the whole experience intrusive with the lack of privacy and the handyman/ owners mate (so he says) interpreting our stay most days. The property gives a feel that it is being run like a hotel and that is not what we were looking for. On the 3rd Night another party arrived to stay in the adjacent cottage and that was the straw that broke the camels back, they where in the rear of their cottage in the early hours shouting laughing and very drunk, waking us up at 0300am and not going quite until gone 0530am. This made us realise how close the other property’s were to us and again this was not mentioned in the listing. We left earlier because we could not stay there anymore because of the fore mentioned issues. All I can say if you want a nice place to stay that’s a slightly nicer environment than Butlin’s then book here your love it. I will not be going back.
