"We have just got back from a lovely stay at Gannet Watch - We drove down from up north and were not disappointed!"
The views from this apartment are stunning! The apartment itself is spacious and had alot included - the cream tea on arrival and small milk in the fridge was a welcoming touch and there were books to read and lots of information of places to go which was all great and insightful. Our seagull friend "Stevie" added some comedy to our day and they made sure we didn't sleep in

"This is the third time we’ve stayed in a flat at the Headland but the first in this flat."
We love the location with the headland and the quiet beach just below, not to mention the lovely view and the easy walk into Coverack. It is extremely well kitted out and has everything you might need. Everything is in good condition, the bed and the pillows are very comfortable, there is really nothing more to say! The only downside was that we had problems with the locking mechanism on the main living area window. The local handyman came the same day but was unable to fix it so it had to remain locked for most of our stay. As the flat got rather stuffy on warm days this was a major nuisance although there are two other windows admittedly.
The Owner of Gannet Watch has supplied the following response: Thank you for your lovely review Mr Payne, and I'm so glad you had a good stay. However, I'm sorry this was marred by the locking mechanism on one of the windows not working properly. A window specialist has now visited and adjusted the window and replaced the handle, but I must apologise for the inconvenience caused to you. Property Owner

"It was a lovely one bedroomed appartment with great sea views."
The only downside was that it was up 2 flights of stairs but we knew that when we booked. Bed and sofas were very comfortable. Great to have a few DVDs to choose from on a rainy afternoon.
We enjoyed the scones with jam and cream which were provided with the tea, coffee and milk on the welcome tray. The roses in the vase wilted within a couple of days -so I think they should have been trimmed or had their stems bashed to help them take up water, so it might be best to buy a different type which would last better eg a few carnations. But it was a lovely thought and looked good on arrival.
We enjoyed the holiday walks along the coast and being so near the Terrance Coventry sculpture garden was a real bonus for an evening stroll.

"Excellent apartment, particularly for the views."
It was clean and tidy and a very comfortable stay. Two flights of stairs were a bind at times but then you looked out the window and all was forgiven. If I was being being picky there would be three things I would mention. No welcome pack - the shop shuts early and it wouldn't cost much to leave a pint of milk so a cup of tea could be had on arrival, all we got were some half dead flowers no doubt left by the previous occupants. The second point would be the dirty windows on the outside, and thirdly the size of the bathroom. They are very picky points and they wouldn't stop me staying again.
Your feedback is very much appreciated and after speaking with the owner, please see her reply "Thank you for your review, and I am glad you had a comfortable stay. I must say you are not being at all picky to mention the lack of a welcome tray, as in fact one is supposed to be provided, and I am upset that it wasn’t. Our housekeeping company has apologised for the oversight and explained that they had had to use a stand-in agency on a couple of occasions recently. They have reiterated our requirements to them."

"Fantastic apartment, well furnished, a real hidden gem, with fantastic views out to the sea and great small local beach."
Nice and quiet, a remote part of Cornwall and a great location with Coverack harbour (with cafe, pub and chippie) a few mins stroll along the coastal path. Very clean and tidy. The only minor criticisms are that more than one roll of toilet roll provided for a week would be nice, and a new shower curtain (the current one is mouldy). Fab stay though, highly recommended! We'll be back!
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We have spoken with the owner who has replied as follows. "Thank you very much for your review and I am so glad you had a lovely holiday. We look forward to welcoming you back! You did mention a couple of very valid points for us to address. Two toilet rolls are in fact supposed to be provided in our apartment, and also the cleaning company are provided with spare shower curtains so that these can be changed when needed. I have fed your comments back to our housekeeping company and they have thanked me for letting them know and assured me they will address these points. Thank you again." Property Owner

"The apartment at Gannet Watch was absolutely superb."
It was extremely clean and the apartment was spacious and bright. It was on the top floor of the block with no lift but the views were breathtaking over the sea and there is a binocular set up for the occupants to use. We saw a pod of dolphins on our first morning which we have never seen before in Cornwall. The whole holiday was fantastic.

"The apartment was very clean, homely and felt welcoming."
We could not think of anything we required or wished for which was not provided. The addition of the telescope and guides to the area was something that we thoroughly enjoyed using. Instructions and help was clearly left- not that we required them. The walks around the area and stunning views just topped our week. We were also very lucky with the wildlife we saw. We would like to return to this apartment in the future.

"The apartment was entered during our stay whilst weren’t there, I would like to know why!"
The immersion heater wasn’t on when we arrived so we had to wait for hot water.
The TV signal broke up on day 2 so we weren’t able to watch anything thereafter!
Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. The owners were very concerned to read that someone had entered the apartment whilst you were out, for which they apologise wholeheartedly, as this should never have happened.
This has been investigated and due to a recent change to the block management procedures, whereby regular inspections of the apartments are now undertaken during the winter months (an insurance requirement). On entering the apartment, as soon as the inspector realised that someone was staying there, she left immediately. The property is normally closed over the winter months (except for Christmas & New Year), so the inspections normally wouldn't affect guests, and no inspection was scheduled for during your stay it was due to the bank holiday that the inspection day that week was changed.
The owners have spoken with their housekeeper regarding the immersion heater, this was an oversight on her behalf as this is normally checked when the welcome tray is delivered, for which she offers her sincere apologies.
We can only assume that the poor TV reception was related to atmospheric conditions. As the owners stayed in the apartment immediately after yourselves and experienced no problem with the reception. It isn’t generally a problem, however we do realise that this is of no comfort to yourselves and do apologise.

"I was only a bit stressed about the main door sorry."
The keypad to enter the code is extremely low down and buttons not very easy when you have luggage and if you're tall!! Coupled with the fact I had the wrong no for some reason meant I was outside struggling for about an hour before someone came to rescue me. But it's such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay it made up for it!
It was a shame I couldn't use the washing machine to replenish my muddy walking gear. The workmen were there and had it all taped off and dug up?
Thank you
***Owner Response*** Dear Ms Davies, I am glad you enjoyed the beauty and peace of the place, which we still love after many years. I am sorry though that the keypad was low for you. I have been in touch with the managing company, who intend to refurbish the porch area after the holiday season, and they have said that they will address this as part of the work. They have also informed us that the work that was being carried out on the communal laundry area during your stay is expected to be finished by early June 2019. I do apologise that it was not accessible for you though.
I’m sorry you had a problem with the number: I did check the code that the holiday company sent out, but this was correct.

"This property is well furnished and has everything you need for a comfortable stay."
And we saw plenty of gannets! Only two things that detract: the bathroom is very bijou and we think it would be more comfortable to install a shower cubicle and do away with the bath. Who would take a bath facing a blank wall in a box room with no natural
light.....? Secondly it’s a superb view but there is nowhere to sit comfortably to admire it within the property. Difficult to do anything about this with the fabric of the hotel conversion, so the viewing chairs provided are good, but if the weather had not been so good, this would have been less of an attractive property.
Also on the positive side, the location is really out of the way and the coast path and sculpture park are a bonus.
- Owner's response - We are so glad you enjoyed the views from Gannet Watch and saw some gannets of course! On having a shower cubicle rather than our current bath plus a shower over it, we have found that many people like to have a bath, perhaps at the end of a lovely day’s walk, and so we felt it would be nice to keep one.
