The comfort of Palm View is often mentioned, with guests finding the beds and living spaces to be very comfortable. There is a minor note regarding the snugness of the dining area and the cosiness of the en suite bathroom, but overall, the property is seen as comfortable.
Facilities at Palm View are well-regarded, with modern appliances and a fully equipped kitchen. The garden and parking are also appreciated. Some guests suggested improvements such as clearer instructions for appliances and more comfortable garden furniture, but maintenance is prompt and effective.
While the reviews reflect a high level of satisfaction with the property's amenities and the owners' attentiveness, there is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
About this property
Burrowed in the sleepy village of Holywell Bay in Cornwall lies this appealing single-storey property, Palm View. Boasting all ground-floor living, an en-suite master bedroom, sea views and dog-friendly accommodation, Palm View welcomes six guests to relish an idyllic seascape to Cornwall. Upon entering, be wowed by a delicate sitting room equipped with electric fire and TV so you can make the most of cooler evenings; allow the designated chef to cook up a storm in a well-equipped kitchen to be enjoyed at the intimate dining table as you toast to a fantastic getaway. If the weather permits, step out into the enclosed garden and relish a favourite tipple and a barbecue as your children and pets play safely or take advantage of a quaint summer house. When the night draws to a close, retire to one of three stunning bedrooms, choose from a king-size with TV with Sky and en-suite shower room, a double with Freeview TV or a twin to rest your head in ahead of another day of adventures; unwind with a long soak in the bath and complete your all-important skincare ahead of drifting off to sleep. When you’re ready to explore, begin your morning with a stroll to Holywell Bay, sink your toes into the sandy trails and listen to the waves crash upon the shore as you look out to Gull Rock in the distance.

The property is immaculate and spotlessly clean. Stylish and really tastefully decorated throughout. All furnishings, kitchen appliances, beds and bedding etc are high quality. The Owners have tried to think of everything you might need and these extra touches don't go un-noticed. Their attention to detail is second to none. The Owners notified me at 2.30pm to confirm it was ready for our arrival. The Owners are at hand if needed and contactable via a text message. I did contact the Owners and had a quick response and Shane was a delight to deal with. The property is 5 minutes walk to the beautiful Holywell Bay Beach. There are also 2 car parks and 2 pubs close to the beach. I would highly recommend this property and will definitely stay here again. I would go as far as saying it's the best holiday property I have stayed in.

The bungalow is well maintained, and has a mature family garden with views of the sea. You get that home from home feel for the place and the owners are so friendly and accommodating.
