Guests say
Maple is a comfortable and spacious property in a quiet, picturesque location with lovely views, particularly from the decking area. It is well-placed for exploring Cornwall and offers a peaceful retreat. The property is generally clean and provides a good level of comfort, though some maintenance issues have been noted.
The property is described as clean by several reviewers, with no major complaints about cleanliness. However, some minor issues such as a stale smell upon arrival and an unclean decking area slightly detract from the overall impression.
The location is praised for its quietness, views, and proximity to local attractions. However, some guests found the distance to Falmouth and the condition of the access road less satisfactory.
Guests find the beds comfortable and appreciate the spaciousness, but some furniture is reported as uncomfortable for taller individuals, and there are complaints about a lack of wardrobes and TVs in bedrooms.
While the property is equipped with necessary amenities, several maintenance issues such as broken fixtures, a problematic front door lock, and a need for updated garden furniture have been consistently mentioned.
There is no mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.
About this property
Set within a small cluster of barns with overlooking views of Falmouth Golf Course is this beautifully appointed, aesthetically pleasing wood cladded home, Maple. This unique property enjoys a peaceful rural position, yet is within striking distance of all that Falmouth has to offer, making an exceptional base for groups of families and friends to call home as they enjoy this corner of Cornwall. Admire the design of the hard wood cladded home, which is sure to leave a lasting impression before pushing open the front door, where a sense of style and opulence affords a warm welcome to return to at the end of each day. Step across the tiled entrance hall to find the fully-equipped kitchen, boasting a bespoke suite complete with inset appliances and a range of modern touches, perfect for whipping up family-favourite dishes with the large wood framed window flooding natural light into the space. To the rear of the property is the spacious living/dining room, where the patio doors are a striking element to this perfectly proportioned room, complementing the neutral tones and the stylish décor, yet the pièce de résistance are the south-west facing views. The first-floor landing grants access to three spacious bedrooms, the master suite and en-suite shower room is notable for its captivating countryside views across the golf course, whilst bedroom two boasts another king-size bed and the third and final bedroom boasts a single bedroom and the same views as the master. To the exterior, there is a rear decked terrace, a wonderfully sunny spot where you can enjoy the views as you dine alfresco with something tasty sizzling on the barbecue. If you can tear yourself away from this oasis, head into Falmouth, a traditional resort town based around the third largest natural harbour in the world, home to a collection of places to eat and drink, as well as attractions and activities to suit all. Here, you could brush up on the local history with a visit to the award-winning National Maritime Museum with an observation window to see what’s happening underwater; visit the finest fortress built by Henry VII, Pendennis Castle or marvel at the internationally renowned Trebah Garden. Beachcombers will be delighted by the four world-class beaches that are within striking distance, providing great opportunities for surfing, snorkelling, sailing and lounging in the sunshine, or if you are feeling more adventurous, explore the Fal Estuary on one of the ferries, connecting Falmouth with St Mawes and the city of Truro. Once you have completed all that this wonderful town has to offer, travel further afield to the quieter town of Penryn, boasting a labyrinth of olde-worlde cobbled streets to explore or spend the afternoon in the Cornish city of Truro offering something for everyone, from retail therapy to cultural and architectural delights. With all of this and much more to enjoy, make Maple your temporary home as you explore this corner of Cornwall.

A couple of things of note, no information openly provided about bins, dog walking area etc. we found a folder which looked like a photo album 3 days into our stay which was under a pile of leaflets in a corner under the WiFi hub. The decking photo is quite misleading in that it looks as though your dog can access the open field from decking which you cannot. I had to ask a neighbour how to access dog walking / toilet area. The decking / garden furniture could do with a refresh or clean up. The toaster blew out all the electricals with sockets, so could not use that for the week. The smoke alarms went off if you used the grill instead! in general I would recommend this property just some bits and pieces need addressing.

The outside area, decking, is reasonably private too with table, chairs and a bbq. We would certainly stay there again

The property was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay, however there are a few things that need sorting, to give it 5 stars. Mainly the outside area, the decking needs to be replaced/sorted as its starting to rot and when wet it is very slippery, the outside furniture has seen better days and again needs sorting. We didn't use the bbq so cannot comment on its use but it was starting to rust. Warning to anyone who is tall ie 6ft and over all the bedrooms have sloped ceilings you will bang your head if not careful.....
