Alison
Super clean, with everything you need. The view from the back is just stunning and the park is so peaceful, itâs a real rest. Linen and towels were spotless as usual. The washing machine is a big bonus as is the internet, which we found very fast indeed. The only thing Iâd change would be the sofas. They are very low and a little uncomfortable but this didnât impact our stay at all, just an upgrade needed is all. We canât wait to come back to Rosecraddoc and Watergate Bay. Itâs a beautiful place to stay.

... Just a few adjectives to describe our holiday village experience at 'Watergate Bay'. Thank you for the friendly and helpful welcome and everything you might need to get you started for a peaceful break in Cornwall. The fixtures, fittings and decor are clean and up to date, had everything we needed. It's a real shame that the 'sofa and bed' comfort needs addressing and possibly changing as they do let the side down a bit. Having mobility and disability issues, our comfort is essential and we had difficulty rising out of the sofa without assistance. May we suggest that when you up date the seating arrangements at Westgate Bay, please consider the comfort for the less able. Perhaps replace one of the 'big' old sofas by introducing a couple of high backed chairs with arms which would help those with less able issues. The bathroom facilities are modern with a walk in shower but the introduction of a grab rail would make showering safer. "We'll remember to request a portable shower seat and toilet rail next time we visit". Also, we would suggest that the toilet roll holder be relocated, it was a bit too close to the loo for comfort - (but that was just a little 'quibble'). We have to make a special mention about the very friendly wild life. Every morning we were introduced to an amiable little Robin who would tap on the patio window to ask for his breakfast. He would even take crumbs from your hand. The 'little stream' sound effects were also a pleasant feature and added to the outside morning coffee experience. On the whole, we were very happy with our stay and will keep 'Westgate Bay' and Rosecraddoc Holiday Village in mind for our next 'tranquil' Cornwall get away. The middle county location of the holiday village makes easy access to experience all aspects and areas of Cornwall.

The third bedroom was a little small but this could be made better with less furniture. The sofa needs replacing it was very uncomfortable. My poor dad struggled to get out of it as itâs too low and we all had to sit with cushionâs underneath us to make it bearable. My niece said a long mirror would be good. We did have a nice week though very quiet surroundings and a safe place to stay.
