Guests say
Villa No 50 in Camelford, Cornwall, offers a well-appointed and maintained setting for a relaxing stay. Guests appreciate the villa's cleanliness and the lovely area, though some noted issues with cobwebs and a musty smell. The property serves as a great base for exploring the north coast, despite some disappointment with the closed hotel facilities.
The villa received mixed reviews on cleanliness. While some guests found it spotless, others reported cobwebs, hair, and a musty smell. The issues with cleanliness were significant enough to affect the comfort of some guests.
There is insufficient information in the reviews to accurately assess the location. No specific comments were made about the location's convenience, scenery, or accessibility.
The villa is described as small but comfortable, with all necessary facilities. However, some guests experienced discomfort due to a musty smell, which was partially resolved by the owner's prompt action.
Facilities were generally appreciated, but the closure of the hotel's bar and restaurant was a letdown for guests. The villa itself provided everything needed for a stay, but the lack of available amenities in the surrounding area was noted.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches provided by the host in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess the level of thoughtfulness.

We opened up the windows to let some fresh air in. A strong musty smell also emanated from the towels, the couch, the bed and the pillows. We called the owner who contacted the cleaner. She came over at 10pm and changed the nylon bedsheets and pillow coverings to cotton ones, but the smell was in the pillows themselves. The next morning she did her best to make us comfortable. She went and purchased new pillows, and new cotton bedding. This made our stay acceptable for the next five days. I would recommend that the owner reviews the condition of the cottage and bring it up to standard. Pillows should have washable pillow protectors. The towels should be supplied by a linnen service. We also own a holiday unit in Broome and that has a 5 star rating.
