• "Great property really well equipped with everything we needed."

  Fully enclosed garden. Short walk to the beach - didn’t want to leave !

• "This is our third stay in this property."

  Previously I have given 5*, this time only 2* as the property is neither clean nor well maintained now. I have advised the owner. Mould in shower room and around window frames, carpets desperately need cleaning, also dining chair seats dirty and stained. The whole house would benefit from some attention and a good clean, which should be scheduled in regularly and not just left until the house happens to be vacant! The location however is ideal for us visiting family in the area. Would come back again but only if standards improve.

• "The property is in an excellent location for all of Bude's attractions."

  We parked the car on the drive and never used it all week as the beach and town are all within easy walking distance. The house is well equipped, warm and comfortable. We could not fault it as a holiday let having stayed in many over the last few years.The shower in the main bathroom is superb! We much appreciated the owner contacting us prior to our stay to determine the sleeping arrangements i.e. making the twin bedded room into a super king size. We would recommend this holiday home both for its location and facilities.

• "Just returned from a week with our 2 children."

  The house was as described. Apart from the kitchen needing a quick going over I thought the house was well kept and clean. Although the hoover did smell of wet dog. The lawns were mowed whilst we were there keeping the nice big garden looking great. The location was ideal for costal works in either direction and for walks to the 2 local beaches. Crooklets beach bar regularly had live music on which was super to add to the atmosphere. Bude village its self was a lovely place to visit with many little shops bakeries and clothes shops. Sainsburys was just up the road which was handy and also Lidl just a short drive away. Tintagel Castle is an absolute must visit it the views were amazing on a sunny day.

• "Many things great about this property, however let down by lack of care and attention to detail."

  Gardens where needing attention, pots full of dead weeds and flowers, garden seat at the back broken, health & Safety hazard. No sky TV which is a must , also the TV is old, so we couldn't even mirror from our iPad. This is essential if you have bad weather, which we did. Also needs to be restock with items such as toilet rolls, kitchen foil, salt and pepper etc., again essential items which you do not really bring with you and have an expectation there will be enough at the property for 2 people for 1 week, given the property sleeps 6. Its a shame because with a little TLC and attention to detail this property could be amazing.

  Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback we are sorry to hear of some issues you encountered during your stay. Had we been made aware of any issues at the time of your stay, we would have done all we could to rectify things. We do have a gardener who attends the garden on a regular basis, but the weather recently has not been good, however we do have someone attending to the pots shortly. We were not aware that the bench seat was broken, so this will also be attended to also. The TV is not an old TV, it doesn't have Sky but we don't advertise as having Sky. However you are able to connect to the WiFi to be able to access NetFlix etc. We will speak with our housekeeper regarding the toilet rolls, kitchen foil and salt and pepper as these items are usually supplied for guests.

• "We did ask if we could arrive early, so partially blamed ourselves, but the house wasn’t particularly clean when we arrived."

  There were dog hairs, crumbs and sand on the floor and table in the living room. This was disappointing but we moved on, after quickly running the hoover over. The house is very well stocked with most things you would need for a week away. The milk was appreciated for an cuppa after the drive across. On a positive note though, the house is very well located for the beaches and eateries of Bude and we did enjoy our stay there. The double bedroom could do with a blind as the curtains do let a lot of light in, and we couldn’t find any recycling clear bags or bin liners as stated in the booklet so just used the bags that were in the bins already. The area seemed really quiet, which was perfect for a relaxing evening after a day of exploring. There were plenty of places nearby to get a coffee, beer or food - or just watch the sunset. Lovely!

  Idea for a family and a safe garden if you have dogs. Well maintained and very comfortable beds make it an enjoyable stay and kitchen is fully equipped. Will be back again.

  It had everything we needed for our week's stay. Beds comfy, pillows great, shower (1st floor) amazing after a day out walking. Well located to watch the sunset at Crooklets. Town centre can be walked to if fit enough as hilly. Loved it here we will be back.

  Location was excellent property was lovely very clean facilities were very good I even managed to work microwave but I couldn’t work the oven or grill I did read the manual but couldn’t get it to switch on but we had brilliant week despite the storms thankyou

  We are sorry to hear that you couldn’t work the oven, had we known we could have sorted it for you. But we have good news, that temperamental oven has now been replaced with a brand new oven as part of our kitchen refurbishment. Since you enjoyed your stay we hope that you will come back and stay again. Property Owner

• "On the whole a great place to stay."

  Could do with a lick of paint particularly in hall as stained walls and kitchen cupboards door pealing off veneer finish. Brilliant and effective heating and hot water, a very comfortable property.

  Hi Vicky, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We have now learnt that the discolouration on the staircase walls is a bad reaction between the coats of paint. Never seen this before but will be redecorating to sort this out. Kitchen cupboard doors have been affected by steam and heat due to usage. As you can imagine there is no easy fix for the doors and a major revamp of the kitchen is now taking place. We hope that you will come back and see all of our improvements. Property Owner

• "We thought the property was lovely and enjoyed our stay."

  The dogs loved the safe garden and the nearby beach. After reading a review saying it was 'tired' we felt it was good not being 'immaculate' as this made it much more homely and it had all the modern conveniences and looked good to us. We hope to go back to Awel-Y-Mor sometime next year.

  Everything was included for a comfortable, relaxing stay. The location was perfect with the beach being literally 5 minutes walk away and the town a lovely 15 minute stroll along the coast. It was also a great base to explore other areas of Cornwall.

• "Awel-Y-Mor was very clean on our arrival."

  There is an enclosed garden which is great for children/dogs. The area is very good as only about a 5 minute walk to the nearest small beach with another not too much further. Sainsburys & the small town about a 10 minute walk away too. The kitchen is very well equipped with utensils and crockery. The house is a bit 'tired' looking and could do with a bit of time and TLC spent on it. Bathroom towels supplied were only small bath towels, Bath sheets would be much better!! Also, a door mat at the back door might be useful as nothing to wipe your feet on (or the dogs)!! However we did have a lovely stay there and Bude and the surrounding area are well worth visiting!

• "House is in a great location, close to the town and beaches."

  We had an issue with the main bedroom smelling of dog when we arrived, this was rectified quickly the next morning when the bedroom carpet was vaxed which cured the problem. The property is tired inside, paintwork patched up, wooden flooring very tired, front covering of cupboard coming off over cooker, bathroom woodwork patched up, could also do with some modernising. No anti slip shower mat in shower and could also benefit from a door mat inside back door. Wi-Fi very slow and patchy. Not the best Sykes property we’ve stayed in over the years, but we enjoyed our stay in Cornwall.

• "What a beautiful house in a beautiful location- our dog loved the garden."

  Very peaceful location and so close to the beaches and Bude town ( no big chain stores lovely independent shops which is a breath of fresh air ) so many places to eat and have cream tea. You don’t need to drive anywhere as there is so many walks on your doorstep. The beds were so comfortable with crisp white linen sheets on zzz as soon as our heads hit the pillow. We will be back.

  Thank you so much for these great comments. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and our house. Hope to see you again! Property Owner

  The house and garden was perfect for us. Unfortunately the cleanliness let the property down and we missed the little extras that you seem to get with smaller holiday companies.
