What our customers say about their holidays

• Philip - Verified booking

  The property was great - a real home from home and would certainly recommend without any hesitancy.

  The whole family agreed that it would be our preferred place to stay if we come back to Newquay. There were some slight issues, which I hope will be useful. The main bedroom door - top hinge is loose, causing the door to drop slightly, so it doesn't close properly. On-suite bathroom: door hing is slightly bent, so causes sticking when closed. A member of our family needed assistance to get out. Bulb missing on mirror. Kitchen: The star LED lights on the wall could do with a simple remote plug-in plug. There's a potential hazard if the existing double adapter, which was hangoing out of the socket, were to fall. Amazon unit on the counter could not be used. It kept asking for a login. Hall to bedrooms off kitchen: ceiling bulb not working. Garden: Potential hazard for children. There is easy access to the pergola beams and fall from the grass walkway leading to the hammocks. Hall to bedroom with diamond window: ceiling bulb not working. Downstairs toilet: door latch does not meet. Inside bolt very tight. Downstairs bathroom: bolt does not meet. Second light not working. Guide book states, in reference to cooker, "Please read instruction at rear of this guide to usage." But no instructions. Same applies for washing machine and tumble dryer. Guide mentions television in kitchen - but there isn't one. The above list are things I noticed could do with fixing. They aren't major issues and did not spoil our enjoyment of this lovely home. I mention them because they are little maintenance issues that could quite easily be missed. Regards, Philip

  On the plus side, this is a modern, clean and broadly well equipped property with some thoughtful furnishing etc touches which help to make it feel like a home from home.

  On the negative side, the WiFi was very slow and at evening peak usage times frequently non-existent (confirmed by the router flashing orange to indicate no internet connection). I do not think it acceptable today to advertise WiFi when its download speed varies between 0 and 2 Mbps. The seating in the lounge comprised a settee big enough for three people, an armchair, a foot stool and a bean bag. It is advertised as sleeping six people. I would not entertain trying to sit six people on that furniture - personally I would not book it for four people. There were just two of us and so it was OK. Whilst crockery, cutlery, etc. provisions were excellent, other niceties were lacking. I think this is the only property I can recall renting where a pint of milk was not provided. There was only enough liquid soap in the two bathrooms to last overnight. No tea towel was provided which is necessary even when there is a dishwasher and again has always been provided in every property I have ever booked in the past. For a 10 out of 10 rating from me, these small items would need to be provided, broadband speed increased to at least 20 Mbps and the property advertised for four, not six, people.

  Beautiful property in a great location.

  The property has everything you would need and more. It’s about a 5/10 min walk from the centre of town (there’s quite a big hill down to town so the walk back up probably isn’t ideal for anyone with mobility problems, however it was fine for our party who ranged from mid 60’s to young teens. There were scones, cream, tea bags and milk for us on arrival which were a pleasant surprise for us after a 7 hour journey. The weather wasn’t great whilst we were there so we didn’t get to make the most of the roof top terrace but the views from the lounge are equally amazing. The guests prior to us had reported a drip on the tap and the owner got no in touch to see if he could send someone to have a look just to check it out. This worked around our plans and the plumber was in and out without disturbing our holiday which the reassurance there wasn’t a major issue. Would certainly recommend, everyone in our party commented on how beautiful the properly and views were.

  We had a lovely holiday stay in Apple Barn and the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog.

  Pauline (Housekeeping) was lovely in taking care of us and making us feel welcome and the welcome email and handy app from the owners prior to arrival is a brilliant idea so you have everything at your finger tips if you if you need it. For me this would be 5 stars if it had a larger bathroom and softer mattress in one of the rooms. The current shower room which is just off the kitchen is tiny for a two bed property. Even my 6 foot husband couldn’t sit on the toilet properly because of lack of space which isn’t ideal and could be an issue for even taller occupants. The shower room sink also became quite blocked during our stay, but once the owner was contacted they did say they would sort this straight away before the next guest stay. A lovely place and location to stay. We have stayed in Lavender Barn too before which is across the road and given this is only 1 bed, it feels a much larger property.

  Excellent cottage.

  What I did find that was different to other cottages was the communication from the owners and property manager. I was contacted with very usefull info from both the owner and the property manager in the days leading up to our trip down to Cornwall. They have a purpose made APP dedicated to the cottage and the beautiful village of Crantock with info on places to visit - a real gem of an idea. The cottage itself is prestine and loved every aspect of it. The enclosed garden is ideal for dogs as well. The cottage is literally 2 mins walk to 2 pubs and a lovely cafe - all of these are not to be missed out. The amazing Crantock beach is only around 10 mins to walk to as well. I could go on for ever about this property and village. You won't be dissapointed at all. 5 star holiday cottage :)
