What guests are saying
The actual apartment was lovely but really sorry to say it wasn't that clean!
I had to clean the bins out as we're filthy & rubbish still on floor behind them then I had to hoover kitchen floor & around lounge as dirty, I gave it a quick mop & water was black ! this let it down as I should not have to clean up on my first day of arrival ! Also patio door lock was broken & we couldn't get out, I had to ring emergency number to get help to fix it & wait in for maintenance guy to arrive, he was great but again these things should have been all sorted before arrival ! Sorry to complain & it was a shame cos lovely apartment just very let down with the maintenance of place.
Lovely accommodation, and as we have stayed many times at the Sands wasn’t compare to others.
I would say this propert is as mentioned at the start, but starting to fray at the edges. Hot water ran out very quickly and little way of switching on, hairdryers full of dust so needed claeinging and switching on and off … out of date PAT testing. Like i say, lively holiday but for nearly 2k for the week these things should be right.
The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed for the week.
Perfect location for us to walk down to the beach or catch the train into St Ives. However, I would say the apartment would benefit from a thorough/deep clean, as floors and surface felt sticky and unclean in some areas, with cobwebs on kitchen cupboards and over 20 little black flies in the window of the master bedroom. As both bathrooms don't have windows they also smelt damp. One of the spotlights in the living room kept flickering on and off, have seen previous reviews on this and was surprised it hadn't been fixed. It was great that the apartment had direct access to the communal garden, however patio furniture is showing signs of wear and tear and is not really in a condition that is useable.
