  Everything was better than we expected (apart from the weather'''''') The owners Julia and Dave were a joy to meet a were extremely helpful.

  My only criticism was the design of the Wet-room pump action centrifugal spinning floor mop which I thought was a novel and great idea but it is not not fast enough to be effective and not the owners fault either. Then there was the impossibility in getting a cab to take us to the Polgooth when it was RAINING. But to be be Fair it is too short a FARE to make it worth their while I suppose. Still I can't help wondering if they would show an interest and suddenly find an available cab if you were to say name your price, or they could impose some sort of surcharge for short runs at peak times as a minimum charge. To be honest, I would happily have paid an extra £5 or even £10 on a special family night out to save us all from a drenching from the Biblical downpours.. that would have had Noah heading for the hills. The steep driveway was not anything to worry about and became a bit of a chuckle after the first ascent / decent. btw there is hardly any phone signal so a good way to chat is via messenger or whatsapp but then I expect most people know that one already but I was a bit slow to suss that one out. All in all, none of that was Dave and Julia's fault and I've been rambling a bit now methinks, and have digressed from announcing most importantly that this was possibly one of the best retreats that we have spent our break in/at and wouldn't hesitate from recommending to my friends.

  We had a lovely 3 nights over new year at The Hideaway, overlooking the beautiful Mevagissey harbour.

  We were a bit apprehensive after reading some of the reviews, but the accommodation was very clean and, although basic, had everything that we needed. The views over the harbour are amazing, I could sit at the window all day. It’s also very useful to have a private parking space which was small but adequate for my Tiguan. I’d imagine the drive through Mevagissey would be a lot harder in the summer though, with crowds of people. We took 2 dogs and they were fine although there isn’t anywhere to let them out, but I didn’t mind walking around the harbour with them. The stairs leading to the apartment are quite steep and I wouldn’t recommend to anyone with mobility issues, but we were fine. The accommodation itself is similar to a static caravan (with amazing views), a lounge/kitchen area, double bedroom, a 2nd bedroom with bunk beds and a bathroom. We have 2 teenagers but they were ok in the bunks, after a bit of grumbling! There is everything you need in the kitchen and 2 TVs, and heaters throughout. Only negatives really were the double bed which is very lumpy and uncomfortable, and meant a difficult nights sleep. There was also a storm when we were there and the wind made it quite noisy with things clanging and banging but I guess that’s to be expected next to the sea. We would definitely stay again.

  Please read the entire message as it starts with a few negatives but does end on a positive note. The online information at the time of booking indicated that there was private parking for Refuge Cottage. Information provided a few days before the trip then advised us to park in the main public car park at additional cost. This property was chosen for elderly parents so this did cause some initial difficulties. I tried to make contact via your online chat facility but couldn't reach any chat hosts. There was some damp in the property that could cause problems for asthma sufferers and the settee is a little tired. Also the door handle came off the first time we opened the fridge, and the shower head in the twin-room was loose. However, none of this detracted from the fact that Refuge Cottage is a stunning property with a lovely homely feel. We absolutely loved the location and the views are amazing. None of us wanted to leave, including the dog :-) Thank you very much for a lovely holiday!

  We loved the location.

  The apartment was very well set out. However, we were disappointed in the overall quality of the apartment. We paid £1800 for a weeks stay. The apartment was very tired. The kitchen sink was blocked. The tiles in the bathroom mouldy. Light bulbs not working. The flooring was lifting throughout. Gaps where the beading was missing. There was dust and dirt under the bed. The drawer in the fridge cracked . I do know this is a pet friendly apartment and there would be Mark's on the furniture. However the grubbiness of the arms on the settee was not caused by any pet. In these days of the virus I would have hoped for a higher level of cleanliness. The toilet Bush was practically a stick. I didn't mind booking and paying the price. I understand its peak season but the quality was not reflected in the accommodation. I have photographs to back up everything I have said. I am in Cornwall at least 3 times a year. I have not ever felt the need to complain before.

  The view from the apartment was spectacular, but the place was dirty.

  .Onion skins behind the chopping board, sofa covered in stains, coffee table sticky and dirty, and had not been hoovered underneath for some time. Only one bed was made up and without a mattress cover and under the thin sheet the mattress was stained. The other bedding was all on top of the top bunk and required a bed to be made up. The main bedroom door knob would not turn resulting in the occupier being locked in. The balcony was a joke with warn out chairs and table and a view of a boat repair shed. The view from the second bedroom was a dumping ground for rubbish and a traffic cone. As our vehicle was large I rang Sykes cottages prior to our visit to request the size of the parking space, but no one came back to me. On arrival we had to park within an inch of the wall to keep the car within the space. I found it rather insulting when I was advised to leave the property as I found it, having cleaned and made a bed up myself. All in all disappointing.
