Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the property to be spotlessly clean, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, a few guests mentioned minor cleanliness issues, such as leftover balloons and a piece of clothing from previous guests, which slightly impacted the overall impression.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views, convenience to the train station, and short walks to the beach and St Ives. It is considered a perfect spot for exploring Cornwall and enjoying coastal walks.
Guests generally find the apartment very comfortable, especially highlighting the conservatory chairs and well-equipped spaces. Some concerns were raised about the comfort of the beds and a heavy duvet during summer, which suggests room for improvement.
The property is well-equipped with everything needed for a self-catering holiday. However, some guests noted that certain facilities could be updated, such as the television, and mentioned maintenance issues like a difficult-to-open window and a mattress needing replacement.
While guests have mentioned and appreciated welcome packs and thoughtful gestures, such as a pack of buttons for a child, these are not consistently referenced across the reviews to provide a reliable score. It is also important to note that such gifts are not guaranteed.

Lovely touch with a little pack of buttons for our 3 year old greatly appreciated after a 6 hour journey.

Everything you need to have a first class holiday. We did notice at the front door there is a big gap, you are losing a lot of heat, and a gale blows through.

! There was nothing to fault with the property and we would definitely look to book here again in the future, due to the location and views in particular. Thank you for a wonderful stay :)
