• "We stayed at C&L in March and loved it, so we came back 6 months later and, if anything, enjoyed it even more."

  It really is a great place to explore the coastal walks from and sample the delights of Newquay. So, we'll be back again soon.

  The crab and lobster apartment was clean and comfortable and situated in a quiet area with just a gentle 20 minute stroll into Newquay Town centre we would stay again

• "We booked this apartment last minute as they'd had a cancellation."

  The pictures do not do the property justice, it exceeded our expectations immensely. It's a well appointed property with high quality fixtures and fittings. A nice touch was having tea and coffee supplied and a pint of fresh milk in the fridge. Looking out of the window and be able to see crantock beach was the cherry on the cake

• "Stunning apartment - enjoyable stay."

  But 1 Thick dust on top of wardrobes - noticed when cases put there. 2 Duvet was 10.5 tog in high summer and no additional bedding. 3. Lobby and staircase looked like something out of a tired 90s hotel.

• "Lovely flat - very spacious, clean & quiet."

  I loved the modern and calm decor, it made a very peaceful stay. Really enjoyed my time here and will definitely look to come back when I’m next in Newquay. The only slight downside was the internet which was very slow for the first day and then stopped working completely, but didn’t affect me hugely as I was too busy out and about in the beautiful surroundings.

• "Our second time staying at Crabs & Lobsters, having found this gem last year!"

  The apartment is lovely, furnished to a high spec and the location in Newquay provides the perfect base from which to explore other areas of Cornwall.

• "Crabs and Lobsters was absolutely perfect for us."

  Newquay is just a decent and scenic walk around the gold course, but Pentire is sufficiently far away for it to have it's own quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The apartment was lovely, exactly as described. Everything went so smoothly we didn't need to have much contact beyond the normal but the housekeeper, India, was very friendly and helpful in dealing with a an arrival query. We couldn't fault it and will definitely be back.

• "We stayed here last time and we booked again and we love it!"

  The place is very clean and comfortable and you have your own parking space which is very helpful. Plus an added bonus of it’s only a 5-10min walk to the beach too! If you had any trouble you could easily ring or message the house keeper and you were always in the loop and they went above and beyond for us I cannot recommend this accommodation enough! Will definitely be booking again thank you for having us!

  Inside was beautiful and comfortable and very clean. It was great that it has its own parking space if you wanted to go out places. The only down side we experienced was that the internet within the flat was not working. We would definitely be booking again and would rate it 4.5/5

• "Crabs and Lobsters is a superb apartment."

  It was spotlessly clean, so light and airy but also warm and cosy in the evening. It is very well equipped and nicely decorated. The bed was really comfortable and there is plenty of storage space. The bathroom is very nice with a super shower. Thank you to the owners Jen & Joe for letting us enjoy their lovely apartment.

• "No. 21 Apartment was clean and very tastefully designed."

  The facilities were really well thought through and the pint of milk in the fridge, upon arrival, was much welcomed - thank you! The Apartment was clean, light and airy, with really stylish decor throughout. The bed was comfortable and the wardrobe space was spot on with a good supply of hangers and a decent hairdryer for guest use - thank you again. The lounge was very spacious and again well designed and decorated, which added to the enjoyment of that space in order to relax and eat after a day out. The only feedback that I would add is that when we had a shower, the floor got covered in water and we had to use both the bath mat and a small towel to soak up the water. We ended up rolling the bath matt around the opening entrance to the shower to soak up the water flood and it worked. Overall, we had an amazing time in No. 21 and will definitely return in the future. Thank you.

• "Excellent stay."

  Great location (genuine 5 min from Fistral walking), Crantock too (although we drove and used National Trust carpark). Headlands and town all in comfortable walking distance. Apartments is exactly as described, bright and roomy, consider it good value and great as a base to head out and explore. Reasonable places to eat, again within walking distance, loads more if you want to jump back in the car, same with shopping etc. The only niggle being some renovation /cleaning works were being undertaken on some of the other apartments, so on most days quite noisy from 8am onwards, especially when there were pressure washing the building but not a big deal. Possible areas for improvement (despite giving a 5* rating, so these are quite subjective!): Bedroom ventilation: you can’t have the windows open at night and have a dark room. The carpark lights are really bright and shine directly into the windows, when closed the fitted blackout blinds are super effective, but when open, even a little, the mini suns from the carpark do their thing! - split A/C would be ideal but even a fan would help a little. Supplies: strict building rules about black bagging rubbish but no suitable bags provided. Empty washing up liquid and hand soap bottles in the kitchen. Sainsburys close enough so we could easily purchase, but if you need guests to use a certain type of bag, would be nice if it’s supplied.

  We stayed for a week and I was really impressed with how big it was. It had a lovely bath which was perfect for days after the beach. The location was also really good with just a short walk to Fistral and Crantock beach. The apartment is also really clean and tidy with great facilities. I will definitely be staying again!

• "The whole experience was one of great satisfaction The property and it’s location is ideal."

  Easy key access and the parking off road on site was also great. The apartment was spotless and large, vey large rooms and good viewing. Not that this has anything to do with the lovely apartment but the internal neighbours were not very nice. Experienced a little conflict over closing of doors on our arrival, apparently too loud !! I was dragging two suit cases at the time?

• "After our wonderful stay in Whitby we used Sykes again."

  On arrival we were shocked at the sparseness of the furnishings. A cavernous loft apartment with only a two seater sofa facing a television. There was a coffee table in front of the sofa. Nothing else! There was a washing machine but on phoning the agent I was told an ironing board and iron was missing as it was a health hazard. I expressed dismay at the lack of furniture and amenities at the apartment and she replied that it belonged to a lovely young couple who had just bought the apartment and couldn’t afford to furnish it!!! The huge bedroom contained one bed and 2 bedside tables and fitted wardrobes. Nothing luxurious. There was nowhere to sit, no dressing table for hair and makeup. Hardly the ‘romantic’ apartment advertised. The agent offered a bottle of Prosecco in compensation but it never arrived. Little things like one tissue in the tissue box, very cheap flimsy lavatory paper and big things like no dishwasher, ironing facilities and four flights of stairs to the apartment were a great disappointment. Nobody with health issues, heart, mobility etc., should consider this apartment. ‘Romantic’ certainly not. For a one bedroom apartment this was greatly overpriced.

  Owner really needs to upgrade I internet package/speed. Fridge was unplugged when we arrived (didn’t realise) and have already spoke to a representative - promised a £25 refund for wasted food, have not had this yet? Also, door stops provided were not sufficient to stop the doors from loudly banging closed.
