What our customers say about their holidays

  I read another item of feedback on this property a couple of weeks ago from Wayne and have to say our experience was totally the opposite!

  We were welcomed in the property by a lovely welcome pack. The property was warm and welcoming and very clean. Our dogs were able to have the run of the garden as the fence (about 3 feet high) is secure The ground floor is open plan (as per the pictures) and has a log burner which was very welcome each night. There is a shower room with toilet and sink on the ground floor too. The kitchen is well appointed with a great fridge and plenty of pans and utensils. The piano needs a tune and a bit of work so my attempts at Bach may have had him turning in his grave! (That’s my excuse). Upstairs are three good bedrooms and a bathroom. All very well decorated and proportioned. There is a beam across the main bedroom which you have to remember is there at 3 in the morning - it hurts to walk into it! There is ample hanging space and plenty of drawers in each bedroom. Outside the hot tub was great to have and we used it regularly. I hope you have a great break there. We will go back as we love the area-there is so much around - the best being St Michaels Mount just over a mile away. I’d suggest driving as it is along a busy road with no footpath. There is also a beach about 20 minutes’ walk away at Perranuthnoe which is lovely. The village has two pubs, both 200 yards away, a village shop 400 yards away (and stocks plenty of everyday essentials) and a post office. Plus plenty of takeaways and restaurants if you are so inclined. The owner, Juliet, was great to deal with. Thank you for a great week!

  The positive is that the view is stunning from the lounge and bedroom even on a cloudy day, also the property was clean & tidy when we arrived and the guy that we saw when we arrived was welcoming and polite.

  The negatives are Lounge - settee & chair uncomfortable to sit on for any length of time, the sliding patio door hard to open when first arrived thought it was going to come off the bottom runner, once opened it ran along ok but the open/close catch was hard to close/ open for one of the party. As there’s not a door to this room you couldn’t shut in the heat coming from the one small rad so felt cold all the time and didn’t make it pleasant to sit around and relax., Bedroom - uncomfortable bed, out of the 4 pillows HR only 1 had a pillow protector on ?, every time you turned not sure if it was the mattress topper but it made a ruffling sound which wasn’t good and woke the other one up. The quilt itself was thin and also was too small for the duvet cover, the duvet cover had a hole at one of the seams. The window hinge was rusty and black starting to appear. Bathroom - freezing, old discoloured rusting towel rail didnt look good but didn’t warm the room at all, the shower though the water was hot the pressure seemed minimal so the spray out wasn’t great. Couple of windows shot - whether the seals have gone, one was the big window in the kitchen and the other the small opening part in the entrance lobby. Balcony - looking tired decking & chair. Some of these are issues that wouldn’t be able to be a quick fix so do understand but just not a property we will be returning too as it just wasn’t comfortable to relax in and this is what we were looking for.

  Huge thank you to Juliet who provides such wonderful holiday accommodation in such a beautiful Cornish location.

  'Home from Home' experience with a bottle of fizz waiting for us upon arrival and the hot tub warmed ready to 36 degrees ready for us to jump in! Gated garden was wonderful for all of us including our Cockapoo! Only a 15 minute walk to the nearest dog beach - Beautiful Perranuthnoe (summer months dog restricted hours to before 10am and after 6pm) and to join the South West Coastal Path. Dog owners can take a short 2 mile drive to Long Rock near Penzance to enjoy an all round very long dog beach! Very well equipped kitchen! Kids loved the American style fridge freezer with cold water dispenser. I loved the kitchen being central in the house so I didn't feel 'shut off' whilst cooking breakfast and dinner. Beds super comfy in ALL the rooms! Very friendly Cornish village - even got invited into someone's house whilst walking pooch and promised a meal if I come back next year! A great base for exploring the westerly side of Cornwall. We found loads to see and explore everyday day, including the old tin mines at Botallock where Poldark was filmed, the Minack Theatre, St Michaels Mount, Mousehole, St Ives, Sennen Cove, Lands End and Penzance! Would thoroughly recommend Roncon's Villa and hope to return!

  This was a last minute booking on a whim for a birthday.

  We love Sennen and hadn’t been there for a few years so while browsing the area online I spotted The Lookout and the view alone sold it to me immediately. The booking process couldn’t have been easier and the owner, Jason, was quick to offer us all the information and support we needed. We were in desperate need of peace and nature and this is what The Lookout provides. It’s a lovely bright and clean apartment with a view to die for. Every need and comfort is catered for and listening to the waves and the birds from a comfy bed is pure bliss. Plenty of walking starts right outside the door and on to the South West Coastal Path with nearby amenities in Sennen Cove plus lots of attractions and sights also within a short driving distance. You’re wonderfully hidden from the world at The Lookout and you can expect muddy boots, occasional narrow lanes and a beautiful, simpler way of life. Oh and there’s a wonderful Indian takeaway in Penzance that delivers (Just Eat) to the door on that night you just can’t be bothered to cook. Just perfect. We happily recommend The Lookout and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you Jason.

  This was our third time staying with you over the years, and we were very happy to return and enjoy the amazing views The Lookout has to offer.

  We especially want to say thanks to Jason for his warm welcome and all his assistance with our stay, he could not have been more helpful. The cottage has had a spruce up since we last stayed, which was much appreciated. Like others have commented, the mattress would really benefit from an upgrade, it was thin and lumpy, which lets the place down. Although the cottage was well equipped with most things you would need for a stay, if you’re used to self-catering places that have a good selection of condiments, either supplied or left by others residents, this isn’t the case here. So arrive prepared, or know you’ll likely be doing a shop in short order. As well, supplying a bit of milk and a few tea bags would be a nice touch, especially as most people will have had a journey getting here. The cottage is an ideal size for two. All that to say, as soon as we walked through the door we remembered why we have stayed here before: views that are second to none, scenic walks on your doorstep, and good access to some of the most amazing beaches around at Sennen and Gwynver.
