• "We had a wonderful week at Holywell Bay View."

  Everything was sparkling clean, and our dog, Finn, really enjoyed the enclosed garden. We had a fantastic time and are already considering booking another stay next year. I even received a compliment from my eldest daughter, who said that I had chosen the best place to stay and that she wanted to come back next year.

• "We very much enjoyed our stay at the property."

  The garden was a perfect size and being enclosed was a comfort given we have a dog. All the rooms, by the small bedroom, were a good size and with sufficient storage for clothes in two of the 3 bedrooms. However bedroom 3 was pretty small for 2 single beds/2 people and the wardrobe was inadequate for 2 people to store their clothes in. In fact it was that small that hanging clothes had to be limited and turned at an angle to be able to close the door. This meant that much of the holiday clothes for the two people sleeping in this room had to be stored in another bedroom. To me this is a single bedroom and not a 2 person bedroom that has been 'stretched' to be 2 person room). I would also like to raise that the mattress in the main bedroom (the one with the on-suite toilet and sink) needs replacing. It had lots of compressed areas which made it bumpy and uncomfortable to sleep on. Also the TV menu/service was very difficult to navigate and I'm not sure what service it actually is (ie not sky etc) but I'm pretty literate with these things and I couldn't work out how to use it and we reverted to using my AppleTV box that I'd brought with me. Some guidance notes on how to use the TV menu would be helpful. Whilst these are relatively minor issues and the overall quality, comfort, facilities and convenience of the property was very good I do feel these issues, particularly the mattress, need addressing.

  Dear Guest Thank you for your feedback. With regards to the Smart TV's. All 3 x TVs have Freeview stations plus Smart TV apps. The lounge one has Apple TV on it along with Disney +, Now TV, Netflix and Amazon. You have to log into the app's. We haven't had a problem with anyone logging on before but I will leave some instructions in the guest book for future guests. I will look at the ensuite mattress when I am next down next week as I always keep track of the reviews and only back in late June the mattresses were described as comfy on more than one occasion but I will check to ensure this is the case. The third bedroom twin is the smaller bedroom. They have standard single beds and a single wardrobe. I am sorry if you didn't feel it was large enough for your needs. Thanks again Beverley (The owner). Property Owner

• "So glad we chose this property for our stay in Cornwall."

  The property was lovely - spotlessly clean and really well equipped with everything we needed. The location was amazing and Holywell has one of the nicest beaches we've ever seen. The pub just down the road does great food and the bakery and chippy a short drive up the road in Cubert were equally good. Local roads are pretty good, with Padstow, Falmouth and Penzance all within easy reach. We'll definitely be back!

  It had everything we needed and more but if being picky it would have been nice to have some sun loungers in the garden but certainly not complaining. The location is stunning and nicer than anywhere else we visited in the area. The guest info was very helpful, especially the suggestions of places to eat which we enjoyed. Also, after a 5.5hr journey, the milk and scones were a lovely welcome. We would definitely consider returning in the future.

• "Fantastic, well equipped bungalow in a great location with secured wrap around garden for our dog."

  Only short walk to the beach, however the hill climb back up would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues but there is a National Trust car park right by the beach if needed. Really lovely neighbour and his dog Murphy. The only issue we had, we were unable to lock the back door from outside. So my husband & dog would leave/return for walks via the back gate but i would need to lock back door first from the inside and meet them outside on the front driveway. All in all a wonderful break away, Holywell Bay is beautiful…..

  So pleased you enjoyed your stay at Holywell Bay View. I hadn’t noticed the back door lock before as we normally come and go from the front door and use the lockbox for keys should anyone come back to the property earlier. We will have a look when down tomorrow. Thank you again for your lovely review. Beverley (The Owner) Property Owner

• "This property exceeded our expectations."

  We were a family of 5 + our dog and the property was extremely spacious and comfortable. It was in an ideal location for walking our dog (several minutes down to the beach) and a good base for touring the whole of Cornwall. The property was "kitted out" with items of good quality which was a surprise considering it was a rental holiday home. We stayed in October (half term) but I would imagine this would be a fantastic place to stay in the Summer as well. The garden was well equipped and designed for outdoor BBQ's and relaxation. We will definitely return in the future

• "The property is situated away from any hassle and bustle of other holiday makers, which is great if you want a quiet and relaxing evening after a busy day."

  The property is very well furnished, and clean throughout. All appliances worked as expected, and there’s was everything you needed. If there was one thing I would ask for. It would be for at least one radiator to help dry any washing that had been required during the stay, as kids will be kids. Apart from that a very thing was great, and I would certainly recommend the property to friends and family.

  Hi I am glad you enjoyed your stay. There is a heated towel rail permanently on in the bathroom (unless the spur switch labelled in hallway was turned off by previous guests) and the property radiators will come on first thing in the morning until just before lunchtime and from 4pm all evening if you turn the thermostat on hall wall to over 20 degrees.

  Superb location and is a great for exploring the rest of Cornwall. The beautiful beach is 5 minutes walk and is perfect for running the dog, followed by a coffee at the Gull Rocks Bar.

• "This was our third visit to this wonderful property over a period of approx."

  3 years and it didn’t fail this time, from the first!!! We spent Christmas here and the owners supplied a lovely tree for the hall and one in the lounge which was fabulous, thank you! I cooked a lovely Christmas dinner due to the fantastic facilities in this property too! Beds sooooo comfortable and we slept very well. I didn’t get a chance to say hi to Terry (next door) when he called with Christmas gifts from the owner for us and our pooch Marley, which was extremely thoughtful and kind. The scones, jam and cream were also a great addition. I would give this property a Michelin star if there was one available as it’s so comfortable with up-to-date furnishings, facilities and well presented garden. Everything was spotlessly clean and there are electric ‘smelliest so, the rooms are always fresh. Dog bowels are supplied so, don’t worry about packing these. Selfishly, I didn’t want to review so highly as it will generate more interest in this property making it more difficult to book however, credit to the owners as they have put their heart and soul into this property! Only one bug bear! I had a question regarding Christmas at the property therefore contacted Sykes who told me to call the property management company. Talk about pass the buck as it’s Sykes who take our payment and THEY should have called them! The property management company were less than helpful when I tried to contact. At first I received a text to say they would call back, and didn’t! I made three calls before leaving, which were ignored. I called again when we arrived as we were a little early and the weather was very bad. I asked if we could enter the property approx. 30 minutes earlier to be told they would contact the cleaners to see if they had finished. I heard NOTHING and I was also spoken to rather curtly! We arrived at the property twenty minutes early and low and behold, it was ready! A big thank you to the cleaners. I think the owners maybe need to speak to their property management company as I found their customer service poor. Thank you to the owners as your property is fantastic which made our Christmas holiday, wonderful! If I was fortunate to win the lottery, I would make them a very good offer1 :)

  Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We should employ you to be our head of marketing!! Property Owner

  Heating timing during winter turns off far too early house goes cold very quickly, a lot of does and do nots Labels everywhere very off putting And the curtain twitching next door watching the house

  Dear Guest Sorry to hear you were cold in the afternoon. The heating had returned to summer mode which means it goes off in the afternoon. I know the management company contacted you directly a couple of days into your stay to check and asked you specifically about the heating as there had been a short power cut in the area. They said you replied you were fine and not to come into the property until after you left on the Saturday. On the other note, sorry, if you thought that way about my lovely next-door neighbours. You are the first guests in 4 years who have ever felt that way. The Owner Property Owner

We were unable to use the freezer as two off the drawers were broken. One off the sofas need attention as the stuffing in the back seems to have fallen out one end. Drain smell in shower room.

  Hi Christine. Thanks for your feedback. You’ll be pleased to know the freezer has been replaced with a brand new one.

  Property was very clean and well stocked. The only thing missing ( or we couldn’t find it) was a proper indoor broom. We found the dustpan and brush but a broom would have helped for the hard floors. The vacuum had not been emptied prior to our arrival either, not a massive issue, we emptied it. The only negative is the lack of storage for food. We really struggled to find places to unpack our bread, cereal, drinks etc to. Having said all of that, the neighbour was lovely I loved the property and would return, thankyou!

  Being so close to the costal path there's miles to walk or just rest up on the beach, its up to you. Your return walk back is uphill quite steep in places but the walk saves you the parking fees £10 a day, so yes worth the walk. We did have a problem when we arrived as the property needed cleaning which my wife did [against my wishes, as I was going to ask the owner to come and do it], There was finger nails on the table near the Ipod player, and black mould in the walk in shower, dog hair on the bed spread. After running the hover round it needed emptying, so that hadn't been used recently. Giving the recently covid conditions Id expected better So in hindsight yes a great property in a fantastic location but needs some TLC and a good clean weekly

  I am so sorry the cleaner and management company didn't clean the property properly. This hasn't happened before. We have spoken to ensure this never happens again. We will speak to Sykes as all guests are not allowed dogs in bedrooms. We will ensure this also doesn't happen again and if it does the cleaner is to report it to me, Management Company and Sykes to get it rectified asap. Unfortunately most coastal areas in Cornwall are hilly and walks to the beaches involve a small hill.nd wa The Owner. Property Owner
