  Especially if you plan to spend a time on the beach and don't want to fight the beach traffic each each morning. Also, Holly does a great job of looking after the place

• "What a perfect holiday cottage!"

  The property is beautifully presented, extremely clean and amazingly kitted out with everything you could need! It is in a wonderful location between Polly Joke Beach and Crantock Beach - both dog friendly and has stunning views of the sea and Goose Rock. Although it does not have a grassed area at the rear, it does have a lovely patio and there is plenty of grass for doggy friends at the front on the coastal path. Holly, the host, was extremely helpful and answered any queries with great efficiency. We would definitely recommend it and would love to stay there again!

  Thank you for your lovely feedback and we are pleased to hear you had a great holiday and no doubt enjoyed many happy times on both Crantock and Polly Joke beaches. Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage , bed was extremely comfortable, plenty of kitchen utensils , crockery , glasses etc provided , much more than we could have used ."

  The cottage was extremely clean which to me was the most essential . Lovely patio to sit out on , but I feel the front could have benefitted with some screening , as we could see into the adjoining property and vice versa and definitely the dogs could as well , but overall a lovely property .

  Thank you for providing feedback and we are pleased to hear you thought Guillemot was lovely. It is important to us that all our properties are not only spotlessly clean, but also well equipped and comfortable. We own the adjoining property Cormorant and have either a venetian or roman blind at all the windows to the front to give guests privacy from the other property. Indeed all bedrooms at both properties have both a venetian and a roman blind. The website does also state that both Cormorant and Guillemot are part of three Seaspray holiday cottages.

• "It’s our second time at Guillemot, it’s a great property."

  Holly, the manager, keeps this property immaculate, it’s really clean and has all the facilities you could want. As it’s tucked away a little you can enjoy the peace and quiet. You have only to step out of the front door to start a local walk, enjoying all the spectacular views. After a day out you can enjoy the comfort of the lounge and still appreciate the sea view out of the French doors. I wish other sites that we’ve tried would keep their properties to this standard. We will look forward to returning at some point.

  It was a pleasure to welcome you back to Guillemot for a second time. It is always lovely to know guests appreciate all our hard work and come back for another holiday. The standard of our properties is down to us as Owners and also in our case Holly who does a great job of looking after both the properties and our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back to stay with us again in the future. Property Owner

• "Guillemot was everything we imagined, it was peaceful, clean and comfortable."

  The view was amazing. We met Holly on the middle weekend when she came to change the bed linen and towels, and had a pleasant chat with her. The only very slight issue is the WiFi which was flaky, and our smart speaker kept dropping out, but I guess that's a small price to pay for being in such a beautiful isolated area. Many thanks, it was bliss.

  We are pleased to hear you have had a lovely stay at Guillemot. We are surprised to hear your comments about the wifi as this is usually first rate. We did have to replace the small dish at our adjoining property Cormorant after Storm Noa which supplies both properties. We will look into this as we realise good wifi is very important to our guests-hence investing in a good system. We hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner

  It has every facility you could possibly want, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, fridge/freezer, toaster, cooker, ironing board and iron, hair dryers, so no need to take anything with you apart from beach towels and anything you might need for your dog (if taking one). Lovely coastal walks (that go on for miles) and beaches left and right of the property and very close to other places you might wish to visit in Cornwall. Holly, the property manager, was very nice and helpful, even left us some fresh milk and muffins and we had a very nice e-mail from the property owner before we went, to say that he hopes we have a great holiday, that was a nice touch. We have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to family, friends and work colleagues. Will definitely book this cottage again. 5 Stars!

• "We had a fabulous 5 day stay at Guillimot, the bungalow was immaculately clean and had everything we needed."

  We had beautiful beaches, and a nice spa bistro down the road and Newquay close by when we wanted to visit. The only negative I can say was no garden, (green area) which from the pictures it looked like we had, our puppy (Rocky) will only go to the toilet on grass not concrete which means every time he needed a wee it was walkies time. But we was very happy with the accommodation.

  We are pleased to hear that you had a lovely stay at Guillemot. We are sorry that you were under the impression from the photographs that there was a green area at Guillemot. We always aim to ensure that the property description including all the notes provide a accurate description of all that Guillemot has to offer, as the very last thing we would want is for any guests to be misled. An added bonus of the property is that the South West Coastal Path is directly on the lane outside the property, providing miles of lovely coastal walks for guests and our four legged friends.

  It was clean, warm and inviting with everything that we needed and more on site. The property is ideally situated for summer visits with Crantock and Poly Joke beaches in short walking distance. Walkers have direct access to the Southweat coast path and dogs are welcome at Guillemot. Photographers might like to checkout the textured cliffs and may be lucky enough to find some seals resting on one of the inlets. The Old Albion Inn at Crantock offers a warm welcome, quality food and is a short drive away from the property. Visitors would be wise to view the comments on a well known website regarding the nearest establishment.

• "Guillemot cottage is a cute little place that is very close to Jolly Poke beach."

  The cottage provides all that you need for a weeks stay and has a comfortable lounge/dining area from which you can see the sea. However, the beds were uncomfortable and pillows needed changing so those with tricky backs/necks beware. Also the shower cubicle is very tight - think caravan size! So larger people may struggle. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the cottage especially during these covid times. Some improvements to be made to warrant the price tag but overall a nice little place.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are extremely surprised to read your comments about the cleanliness. Currently on changeover day, all our properties are treated with a fogger that mists anti viral disinfectant around the whole house prior to been thoroughly cleaned. All bedding provided is of a good quality and replaced regularly, including all our pillows. We aim to ensure all our beds are always comfortable and are suitable for most guests sleeping requirements. The whole bathroom was completely furbished with high quality fittings at the end of 2019, including a full size curved shower cubicle with both rainfall and hand held shower heads and the size can be seen on the photographs and is the same as found in many households.
