Guests say
Guests have enjoyed the stunning seafront views and excellent location of Cockington Bay Fort, with its proximity to amenities and lovely gardens. The apartment is praised for its cleanliness and as a good base for holidays. However, some guests noted areas needing improvement, such as the comfort of the sofas and accessibility for those with mobility issues.
The property is generally described as very clean, which suggests high standards of cleanliness are maintained.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views and convenience to local amenities, making it an ideal spot for guests.
While the views are appreciated, some guests found the sofas uncomfortable and the bedroom cold, indicating room for improvement in comfort.
Facilities like broadband are well-received, but issues with heating, a broken can opener, and a dripping tap suggest some attention to maintenance is required.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

place has everything you could posibly need for a week away from home and what an amazing view! loved the view something that cant be beat! facility wise it was excellent, everything you could want, broadband was very good so was able to use my firestick, also got lucky with parking right opposite too seemed very cold in the bedroom despite 2 radiators, figured out the heating in the end as wasnt on timer / calendar ( no instructions in the book ) but still noticeably cold in that one room.

Great views. Could maybe benefit from handrails for the bath and shower as can be difficult for those with mobility issues. Enjoyable week away and will be rebooking in the future
