  This property was a real disappointment.

  The location was great for us very close to carbis bay Beach and great for getting to st Ives. The cottage it’s self was not good unfortunately it was very dirty on arrival cleaners were sent back to sort this for us which was good but there is a terrible fish smell in the back bedroom which was not sorted for us so we had to put up with it for the whole weeks stay it’s was terrible. We were unfortunately unable to open the bedroom windows to help with the smell as we saw a rat one evening outside the bedroom so this worried us to leave the window open incase they came through the window. The wardrobe doesn’t shut properly either, the property just isn’t well maintained. We came to use the iron to find the plug had been cut off so a new one had to be delivered to the property for us. The oven was filthy needs a proper clean between guests and the freezer draws were also filthy. I suggest this property needs a real deep clean. The parking situation is terrible if you own a big car. With the property next door also parking there you just can’t get a big car in the parking bay if they return home with their car before you do. We did get a very insulting refund from the owners for all our issues but in our opinion they didn’t deal with it very well and to the standard we would expect. Carbis bay holidays were great and tried their hardest for us. It’s not good to spend every day of your holiday on a phone trying to resolve accommodation issues and reporting issues.

  This is a lovely little cottage, ideal for 2 people and overlooks the harbour. The cottage provided us with everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a washing machine if needed. The back courtyard is private and a nice place to sit on an evening. The town and harbour is about 10 minute walk down a steep hill, but there is a bus that runs from the leisure centre which is about 100m from the front door. The buses leave and return every 10 minutes or so, so its easy for the less mobile to get to the harbour and beach. We had a few issues with parking as the space does not allow room for a larger car and I believe the cottage description has been amended to reflect this. We bought a weekly ticket for the leisure centre car park instead. Parking in st Ives is difficult unless your're there very early, so I would recommend using the bus as opposed to trying to drive through the extremely busy town. Overall we had a fab holiday, using Farr cottage as a base.

  One of the most beautifully and thoughtfully decorated airbnb accommodations I've seen. The cottage is Beautiful (with capital B). It's equipped with almost anything you may wish, and even more, and of a very high standard. We took my parents (who are visiting us from abroad for a short time) to Cornwall for the weekend, and we all very much enjoyed our trip (even the weather cooperated on the Saturday, being all lovely and sunny despite the forecast predicting storms and rain). One of the highlights of our trip was Merrilee; parents particularly loved it. We only wish we could have stayed longer, and will definitely go back if we are in that part of the country again. Thank you very much Sue for our fantastic stay.

  Bailey Cottage is ideal as a peaceful retreat and base for exploring Cornwall.

  Communication with our hosts was excellent with clear,helpful instructions and Cornish biscuits and cider to welcome us. The cottage itself is beautifully clean and very well equipped.The bed in the second bedroom is small which was fine for me as I’m only 5’1. The kitchen is great but it’s the only time I’ve been to a holiday cottage and not found basics like salt and pepper in the cupboard.Luckily the shop in the village is only a few minutes drive and stays open quite late.There are nice pubs only a few minutes drive away too. The Golden Lion by the lake is excellent for food and dog friendly. We enjoyed our stay in Bailey Cottage. It was quiet, clean,comfortable and well equipped.Thank you!

  You will have a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage. It really does have EVERYTHING you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Great that children are thought of too with the stair gate, high chair and cot bed if needed. Clean and tidy throughout the cottage with lots of little extras. If you prefer to stay in and cook the cottage has a fully fitted kitchen - oven, hob, microwave, washer/dryer and all utensils that you could possibly need. Tea and coffee facilities also. Bedrooms are bright, airy and spacious with plenty of pillows etc for a comfy nights sleep. No expense has been spared on this cottage. Would definitely recommend the cottage and will stay again in the future for sure!!
