• "We stayed at the The Crest for two weeks in August (family of four, children 15 and 12) and we all had such a wonderful holiday."

  The owner, Marisa really can’t do enough for you whilst you are there and she was so friendly and welcoming. The property itself was immaculate and when walking in it really felt like you were walking into a new build property. The kitchen was so well stocked and if it wasn’t there you wouldn’t need it! The little gifts that were left for us were lovely along with all the equipment such as numerous toilet rolls, washing liquid, dishwasher tablets, cleaning sprays, soap etc… There were many information leaflets in the property to help plan the activities you wanted to do as well as Marisa letting us know about certain local things that were on at the time of our visit. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to others and would happily stay again. If you are after a lovely property in Cornwall this is an ideal property to book.

  To highlight one thing maybe not mentioned much; it’s a perfect location. A calm and quiet place, but close to everything, including Helston town centre, a big supermarket and the bus stop. This let us explore Helston, the Lizard and surroundings without a car without any problems. Highly recommended!

  Accomodation looked exactly like the photos and was very well equipped. Everywhere was spotless, comfy beds, and furniture. The owner had ensured that you had everything you needed and could relax. It was my 65th birthday and was greeted by a card and present that had been chosen with thought. Fantastic walk in shower and electric blinds in the bedroom, large TV, sound bar and blue ray, Alexa and good WiFi made for an update property. Owner was on hand if needed and apart from introduction the day after arrival, left us to get on and enjoy our holiday. Will definitely return.

  It is luxurious with some lovely attention to detail. Bedroom blinds that are operated at the touch of a button, a kitchenette in the sitting room for making drinks as well as a lovely kitchen downstairs for producing meals, are some pleasing features. The overall feeling is one of space. The sofas are comfortable as is the large bed. It was pristine in decoration and cleanliness. Lovely treats were left by the host, Marisa and nothing was too much trouble! Marisa is a great host and contributed enormously to us two enjoying our stay as we knew if we had any problems, she was there and very willing to help! We are a couple in our seventies and pretty active, but it was still reassuring that Marisa was next door should we need to ask her anything! The Crest is situated in Helston, placing you well for visiting all the local sights for this part of Cornwall. If you haven’t already gathered from my comments so far, I highly recommend The Crest both for the accommodation and situation. If I could give it ten stars. I would ! If you can’t book this year, it’s worth putting on your list for next as I know it’s pretty booked up!!
