"Perfectly adequate for our needs."
If I were to be picky, I'd say it would be nice to have a hairdryer and the foyer light needs repair as it flashes on and off through the night. Otherwise, a lovely cottage in a nice position for walks and pubs.

"A well maintained, clean apartment simply and effectively decorated."
It may be beneficial to update photos of the bedroom now it has an additional window as it did provide the bedroom with more natural light. As other visitors have stated it does lack natural light in the living area however a strategically positioned large mirror would reflect light which would help.
It was a lovely bolt hole for a week - the furniture really comfortable, linen all very clean and fresh and a really nice touch of wine/biscuits made us feel welcomed.

"We paid £787 for 3 nights and expected more for our money."
The shower room was tiny, the sink was too small for my husband to shave in. The extractor fan ran continually which was very noisy and disrupted our sleep. There was visible mould on the walls in the shower room. The room obviously needs an outside window.
The bedroom was dark and depressing and we spent as little time in it as possible. The window in the bedroom opened into the entrance porch and was not an outside window (this was not accurately described in the property details), we were therefore unable to get any fresh air into the bedroom. The bedroom had visible mould growing on the walls and smelt of mildew. the owners were trying to address the problem by placing a dehumidifier in the bedroom which we were asked to keep on at all times apart from at night.
The lounge/kitchen was a good size and well stocked, however the kitchen cupboards all smelt of mildew.
The whole property was very clean and in a great location.
We are frequent travellers and have stayed in many holiday cottages and certainly feel short changed on this one. This is the first time we have ever given negative feedback. We feel a partial refund is appropriate.
We felt we paid far too much at £787 for 3 nights.

"The property was nicely decorated but lacked natural light especially the bedroom."
You could not tell if it was day or night in the bedroom. All rooms needed lights on whatever time of day. Due lack of natural light & ventilation the property was damp. All our clothes felt damp, the bedding felt damp. When trying to dry towels & lycra swimwear in the garden, they were still damp after 2 days of warm & sunny weather. We like to self cater, but as the property was so depressing we either ate out or picnicked to avoid returning to the property. The photographs of the outside were very inaccurate & out of date. The property we stayed in was not pictured & was at the side in what seemed to be a separate building with a plastic corrugated roof adjoining the main property in the photograph which made the bedroom even darker.

"Very nice apartment."
Well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Nice comfy bed and a great shower. Lovely small courtyard with a couple of chairs ideal for catching the morning sun with a cup of coffee. Many thanks to the owners Tom and Mary for the lovely bottle of wine, chocolate and biscuits. The only downside for us staying here was the limited allocated parking space. It was quite tight and difficult to manoeuvre on/off the drive. Apart from this we had a lovely two week stay here and were ideally situated within the village to walk to the pubs, restaurants, shop and the beach. There’s also a great bus service operating from the village with a bus stop very near to the property.

The apartment was lovely and contained everything we needed, not to mention the super comfy bed! We was welcomed with a hamper of wine & chocolates which was a lovely surprise. The apartment itself is about a 5 minute walk from the shop, 10 minute walk from the local pub The Old Albion Inn which served gorgeous food and a 15 minute walk to Crantock beach. We will definitely recommend and hopefully will be back again soon !

"This cottage is perfect, the outside seating area is pure tranquility especially in the morning listening to the birds."
The kitchen and lounge area is spacious and extremely welcoming, clean and tidy. On arrival there was a welcome gift of Red Wine and speciality chocolates. The kitchen area was clean and even had tea, coffee etc provided for which we didn’t expect.
Tom and Mary had sent us a welcoming text and a contact number if we needed anything at all.
The beach is about a 15 minute walk away and is absolutely stunning especially at sunset, I would advise to walk down rather than driving down as the car parks get full very quickly.
The local pub The Albion Arms are very friendly, recently they have changed to ordering via the App system which failed on the first night and left people waiting for over an hour, hopefully they have it sorted now.
Overall the apartment is in a good location and is perfect for couples to escape to the quite village of Crantock. I would definitely recommend to friends and family and I would 100% stay there again.

. A very stylish cosy and well equipped property. The lovely outdoor area is an added pleasure. Plenty of room to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. The off road parking space is a bonus as there is no parking on the road. A few minutes walk away is the village shop which is well stocked and serves fresh pasties. The local pub, The Albion Inn is also a few minutes walk away. The pub has an extensive menu, welcomes dogs and children and serves excellent food.

I would like to assure yourself and our future guests that the property has never been advertised having these items, however, this is something we may look to add to the property in the near future.
Had you made me aware at the time, you were unhappy with the welcome pack, I would have been more than happy to try and put things right for you.
Thank you very much for your comments and for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Customer feedback is very important to help us continually improve our standards.

The weather stayed good for us and we had a most enjoyable time based on the property in Crantock.
The owners (when we saw them) were very friendly and were quick to help out when there was some difficulty with the oven.
We certainly would consider coming again.
Two observations:
1) We found the duvet a bit hot (winter style rather than summer?): a separate sheet might have helped.

"I felt the cottage needed a hoover as the carpet was difficult to keep clean with a dustpan and brush, the en-suite was a bit too small toilet too close to wash basin difficult to use for tall or large person."
Kitchen cupboards smelt of damp and cottage was cold internal wall behind settee was quite damp to touch.. Flat was lacked natural light as garden had lots of tall trees. the outside space was only big enough for one person was not in the right place for the sun due to the trees, there is enough room for this to be altered.
There were some nice touches of a bottle of wine and chocolates and loads of tea coffee sachets.
Over all slight improvements needed and it would be a very nice stay.
