  • "This is a beautifully presented,modern house with lots of space."

    I was shocked when I walked in at how new it actually was. The owners have really gone to a lot of effort to include quality appliances and features inside. There is a lot of attention gone into the detailm There a very minor things I would improve such as bigger sinks in the bathrooms ( as I couldn't get my head over them ) and also a more comfortable/firmer bed in the main bedroom but that was the only thing I could think of to say. There really isn't much to improve on here Outside there is an amazing balcony overlooking the sea. The balcony is shared with the two properties either side ,each having their own divided section. The other properties were empty when I stayed so I was lucky to have the whole outside to myself. Access getting in and out of the private complex can be a little tricky for some,but there is an allocated car park space at the rear of the building which is handy. Finding this wasn't straight forward from Sykes email so I think improving the clarity of the overall check in procedure from Sykes is needed. One downside of the facilities outside is the lift stops working after 7pm so you have to take a set of stairs which can be challenging for the less mobile. The property management company seem to have really been naughty with not upgrading the lift for residents because there should just be a card or code for the lift so residents can use it 24/7 like at a hotel. It is very bad that residents have to walk up the stairs ,sometimes with bikes and shopping just because the lift hasn't been adapted or replaced after many years of it being there. This is obviously something that is out of Sykes hands but the residents should be pushing the building owners for this as it's a massive oversight by the builders. The lift is the only real issue I found with my whole stay but even that doesn't take anything away from the amazing location and property. I have already booked this again for Dec as it is incredible value for money and it's hard to find a place this modern and well equipped/comfortable inside.

  • "The flat was great, it had everything in it and we loved the two upstairs bathrooms!"

    Location was really good with shops, restaurants and the train station only very short walks away. The only thing that should be improved is the information about the codes needed to open the gate after hours - after hours meaning 7 pm to 7 am. We found it by accident in the folder in the drawer of the desk downstairs, luckily before we went out for dinner. A notice near the door to the flat would be helpful.

  • "Enjoyed our stay at the Wharfside and have booked another week in July."

    The house is spotlessly clean and well fitted out. Beds are comfy and the view is great. Would have give 5 stars but for the sofa and armchairs. So uncomfortable and really need changing.

  • "Would not recommend this accommodation."

    We had problems with the shower…..problems with builders in surrounding empty properties being refurbished and constant drilling!!! Complained to Sykes Customer Services about everything no help or response about noise pollution or solution to the shower! The bathroom sinks were also way to small to even brush your teeth in let alone have a wash without completely socking the floors walls and under cupboard. I mist definitely would not recommend and I expect a response!!!

    We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback. An engineer did attend to check the shower and this was working as intended. It is a shame to hear that you stay was affected by noise, we unfortunately were not made aware of the building works prior to your stay. We always make the best efforts to resolve guests' queries during their stay and we are sorry that on this occasion we unable to solve your issues. Kind regards, Property Manager Property Owner

PENZANCE

St Ives 8 miles. Helicopter to Isles of Scilly - 30 minutes

Penzance hosts Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival. There are also The Exchange, Newlyn and Penlee Art Galleries. One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas is the spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, the coastline hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves as well as winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by a causeway to the shore at Marazion is the National Trust’s stunningly beautiful St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens. Walk across at low water and take one of the ferry boats back when the tide is up. Penzance with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as it is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Isles of Scilly as well as being the harbour. The South West Coast Path passing through Penzance winds its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End. On the way, stop off for a coffee and a rest at beautiful Lamorna Cove, explore the open air Minack Theatre and marvel at the cliffs as you approach Gwennap Head. A stunning walk for those seeking solitude, exercise and some of the UK’s best coastal scenery. Penzance is the perfect holiday base. Ideally placed for exploring this land of Celtic myth and legend and with enough to do and see in the immediate area to keep all the family occupied.
