• "Lovely location although it would be easier to find if a signpost could be put at top of path-we arrived in the dark and no one at the bar knew where we had to go to find the entrance to sail boats."

  Once we got in… the patio door wouldn’t open freely! I had seen on reviews from a few months ago that this had been a problem - it needs sorting as it did have a big impact on us - we had to keep walking outside to push from both sides - not great every night at midnight. Also the blinds… slat missing (found it under sink) and blinds couldn’t twist to block peoples view straight in from pathway outside.

• "The property was ready at the check in time, although the floors were still wet from mopping out."

  Everything was fine with the exception that there was only one small saucepan and a frying pan which restricted the meals that we were able to prepare. Excellent and a comfortable location. A slight annoyance was the extractor fan from the restaurant next door but nothing to spoil the stay.

  Whilst clean the smell, to me at least, was unwelcome. Other than that small irritation definitely 10/10 from me. Will definitely use your facilities again, thank you so much.

• "A lovely basic cottage set right on the sea front."

  I was pleasantly surprised by how warm and cosy the cottage was and even though the main train line to Penzance ran by the noise was minimal. It was great to have a view of the mount and Marazion is within easy walking distance either by the beach or footpath. There were parts of the decoration that looked a bit tired including the front door and strip between living room and hall. Would I stay there again? Definitely. My husband, dog and I had a great time.

• "For £348 I expected much more comfortable furnishings."

  The bungalow was extremely over priced for what it provides. Yes the location is good but things like a lack of blankets, a mop, a dishwasher a smart tv let it down. On season I could see how sitting outside and access to the beach would make it popular. Early December when you are stuck indoors it needs much more Very disappointed

  Thank you for your feedback. We have checked and a mop and bucket can be found in the shed. The property is not advertised as having a dishwasher or a Smart TV. Property Owner

• "The bungalow's position and layout were great, although the interiors are a bit tired."

  With the cost of the holiday and a 6 hour turnaround, we were surprised to have to clean stains off the crockery and cutlery and disgusted to find the used frying pan and baking tray in the oven. Consequently we didn't use the oven since we had no idea when it was last cleaned. Also a note to the suppliers of the welcome pack - food products should not be mixed with highly fragranced cleaning products.

• "On the up side, the location was good."

  Great view of St Michael's mount. Long Rock beach was on the doorstep. But the bungalow is tired frankly. The whole bathroom needs a deep clean and the loo seat needs replacing. The kitchen area was fine though. The sofa was too dirty to sit on without covering it in my own beach towels first. I suppose if you allow dogs that happens? The DVD player didn't work. On the whole Sail Boats needs some TLC.

• "We loved our stay at Sail Boats."

  The location, the cottage and the area is beautiful. Very spacious and airy and well equipped. The welcome package was a lovely touch too. There are only 2 things that need changing and they are 1. The mattress is really hard, me and my husband had sore backs all week and 2. The washer didn’t work properly and needs sorting. Apart from that it was a really lovely place to stay. We are returning in September and hope that the mattress is changed for then

  The picnic table was ok to sit at but a couple of comfy deck chairs would have made it much more enjoyable, also an other seat in the living area, where there was plenty of room would just have finished it off. We did have a good time and if we were going back to Marazion would be happy to stay there again.

  We had a very good holiday here. Generally very comfortable accommodation but I have two points for potential improvement: 1. The hot water from the taps was extremely hot and could easily have caused burns. It is a safety issue that need attention. 2. The duvet was old and had several tears in it.

• "The holiday home was perfectly situated for the beach and Marazion and we loved having the view of St Michael’s Mount each day!"

  The bungalow provided everything needed for a self catering holiday, including tea towels (not mentioned on the website) and a lovely Cornish welcome pack with milk, tea, coffee, biscuits and washing up liquid etc. On arrival everything was clean apart from the fridge which still had bits of food from the previous guests in it which meant I had to clean it before using. Also, the freezer door still does not close (mentioned on other reviews previously) as it is so frozen up (it was perfect for chilling beer bottles though!). There were quite a few maintenance issues which had to be lived with or ‘worked around’ e.g. vertical blinds in lounge have no string to open/close/turn; the catch on the bedroom window has previously been broken off so we could not open the window properly, the toilet seat was wonky, the shower seal didn’t work so there was always water on the floor afterwards…. Finally, the mattress on the bed really does need changing! It is so hard that we chose to buy a thick mattress topper on the second day to ensure a good night’s sleep for the rest of the holiday! (We took it with us!!!). These sound like a lot of problems but the location and price of the accommodation certainly eased our disappointment with the maintenance issues.

• "Cannot fault the location."

  Been coming to these cottages for years and in fact this exact location when it was railway camping coaches. It is our favourite place to holiday in Cornwall. We have noticed our cottage (Sail Boats) is getting a bit tired in places. Beading around the floor breaking up and coming away, gaps in flooring and skirting boards, marked paint, niggles really. On the flip side it is comfortable, warm has plenty of really hot water for showers, baths and good WIFI. It was a great place to be during the couple of cold, stormy days and nights we had during our stay. The management of the cottage is very good. The mattress on the bed was very bad for us for the first 3 days of our holiday. My wife constantly felt like she was falling out of it and it completely knackered my back. I would wake in the morning in agony and even with painkillers could not stand up straight until late afternoon. We lost 3 days of our week because of that. We called the holiday company and later that day a new deeper, firmer mattress was delivered and fitted. We were impressed with the response to our query and we slept well for the rest of the week. All in all this is a good place to stay. The costs of staying here in season are now prohibitive for us so we are more likely to visit last minute, out of season when the prices are more affordable.

• "The location of this holiday home is its main attraction, the beach is within throwing distance ( ideal if you have a dog with you ) ."

  Don’t let the railway line put you off , you don’t hear it because of the constant sound from the sea! Yes you can see the pub next door through the kitchen window and yes they can see you ! But we kept the blind down . There are a few maintenance issues with this property, easily fixed if the owner wanted , one being the toilet seat ( broken) , the bed ( as mentioned several times in previous posts ) needs looking at ! But not terribly, the oven ( also mentioned in passed posts) needs the function symbols addressing as this was like Russian roulette in what the oven was put on . Lovely walk into Marazion, would recommend a visit to the kings arm pub and the Cutty sark restaurant , both served excellent food ( take a torch for the walk back , there are no street lights ) . Overall a fantastic base for a Cornish holiday !

  Our sliding door to the sea view had seen better days and was very difficult to shut and was rotten just due to weather erosion. Just a good deep clean now and then would help the place. Lots of walkers and cyclists able to view in from the very nearby path which is great for a walk into penzance. Railway not mentioned at all might make people complain. Personally I would stay again like I said just needs some maintanence done to outside and deep clean occasionally in side. One other thing I know we have the old tinterweb but a list of good local pubs ( like the fire engine in Marazion) in the property always helps.

The patio door had to be lifted in order to open and close and the freezer hasn't been defrosted for a long time...this has been mentioned several times over the last year or so without any response from the owner. The property details folder needs to be updated to tell guests that there is Wi-Fi and to include the password so you don't have to call the helpline to ask for it. On a positive note, the property is in a good location for all the main attractions around the area. Despite the negatives we would still come back.

  We also felt the oven could have been cleaner. We were glad we took a throw for the sofa as it was rather grubby. While we don’t expect milk to be left the pint that was there was out of date we arrived on the 23rd December and the milk had a use by date of the 16th December. The bearings have also gone on the washing machine making it very very loud when spinning. Overall we have always enjoyed staying in Sailboats but felt this time it was not quite up to the standard we have had in the past.

  Perfect for 2 people or 2 people with an infant in a cot (although it is a squeeze to get a travel cot in the bedroom). Just a short walk across the beach from the bungalow to St Michael’s Mount and Marazion. Friendly owner, cleaner and grounds man. Only gripe is that the mattress was too hard for us but was easily solved with our own mattress topper. The train line by the house wasn’t a problem either as trains barely ran at night and we weren’t in often enough for it to affect us during the day.

It wasn't safe to leave any windows open when we went out as the locks on the windows were very poor and no security offered. Shower control did not work well and we had to lever it with a spoon, as other guests had also stated they did the same. Only enough hot water for one shower....then suddenly went cold, so assuming small tank. Patio doors very stiff to open. Ironing board but no iron....doesn't make sense! Although the train was close the noise did not bother us too much. No information brochures on local areas to visit or attractions. Apart from that the location was good, and the views across to St. Michael's Mount were stunning.

• "The Sail Boats bungalow was clean upon arrival and as described."

  A photograph that shows the space to the back of the bungalow would be useful to some clients so that they can see the patio area with close proximity to the Station Pub and slope to the garden wall. However, this was not a problem for us. I would imagine in peek season some visitor's to the Pub will perch on the garden wall which would be very irritating if you were on your bench outside. We had to ask some people to move (which they did), put we didn't like to ask. Basic cooking pans, utensils and crockery for two persons provided. Bring your own bread knife though if you need something to slice through a loaf. The two dining chairs should last the rest of the season with one having wobbly legs and needing replacement. All in all the accommodation was good and I would recommend it if only for the ideal sea view location. Some have described the interior decor as tired, but considering the close location to sand, water and the weather there is always going to be compromises - the flooring and skirting boards visibly affected but expected. No recycling on site! Had to use the skips at Sainsbury's. My only gripe is that the DVD player did not work properly with a brand new DVD with the film constantly freezing, jumping and skipping to a different scene. Also the freeview reception was often pixelated due to a bad connection or reception. Not a big issue, just disappointing on a cold evening in doors.

• "The location is amazing."

  Waking up right on the beach is the best. The cottage is warm and homely. Could do with a little attention on the maintenance and the bed was not the most comfortable. But all in all I would stay there again and again.
