The location is highly praised for its stunning sea views, proximity to local attractions like the Eden Project, and the peacefulness it offers. The convenience of nearby shops and restaurants adds to the appeal.
Guests consistently mention the comfortable bed and the cosy feel of the property. However, some guests noted the sofa was not as comfortable, slightly affecting the overall comfort score.
Facilities such as the hot tub and enclosed garden are appreciated, but some guests reported issues with heating and a lack of certain kitchen amenities. Maintenance concerns, such as the need for an outside tap and better instructions for the hot tub, are noted.

Alison
Better instructions needed on eg heating,oven, fire and hot tub. Suggest ironmongery for log burner. The bed was great, so comfy and clever storage space for clothes. Maybe a few more hooks to hang items Not a complaint but a microwave and hair dryer would be an asset .

Simple things like disposable dishcloths, tea towels and a mop not provided. Struggled to get items out of the oven 1st night as no tea towel or oven glove provided. Contacted Sykes on our 2nd day and I am still waiting for someone to get back to me. Wood fired hot tub provided with one bag of logs and a few fire lighters. No kindling so impossible to get the fire started. You cannot place logs onto firelighters. On our last day we were advised by the owner that there was to be an end of school party on site that evening and that he had neglected to tell us this when we arrived and apologised in advance for any noise or issues the party caused. We did not want to be around for this so decided to leave that day which meant we only had six nights which spoilt our last Positives is that it is a nice location and is near to local attractions and shops, the shower works well and the bed is comfortable but we would not stay here again.
