Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found The Lookout to be clean and well-maintained, with fresh bedding and clean surfaces. A few mentioned areas for improvement, such as dusty decor and the need for a patio clean-up, but these did not significantly detract from their overall experience.
The property's location is consistently lauded for its proximity to the town centre, beaches, and local amenities. The convenience of the location and the stunning views contribute to its high rating.
Guests are pleased with the comfort provided by The Lookout, mentioning the comfortable beds and spacious living areas. Some suggested larger beds and the addition of mattress protectors to enhance the comfort level.
The apartment is well-equipped with modern appliances and guests are generally satisfied with the facilities. However, some maintenance issues like a stiff washing machine handle and a broken kettle were reported, but were swiftly addressed.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Caroline
The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen was adequately kitted out. It was my first time in an apartment as I usually come down to Cornwall every year but with my dogs, so tend to stay in a caravan but this year my son and his partner decided to come down (it was her first time to Cornwall) so we decided on an apartment, Newquay was the obvious choice for it's central location and I'm glad we stayed where we did. Fab to have allocated parking, great location which meant they could both take themselves off for a walk around. The views from the apartment were stunning. Just perfect and thank you for allowing us to stay.
