Headland Apt 17

The apartment is perfect for two people with great facilities and amazing location and the balcony is an added bonus with stunning views over the headland and sandy cove.

The nicest accommodation we have stayed in, after many years of visiting Cornwall.

The apartment is clean and well planned with plenty of space for a couple, bed and sofa comfortable and towels and bedding clean and fresh. The situation, views and wildlife speak for themselves, the Coastal Path passes the bottom of the beautiful gardens, Coverack's beautiful harbour is a short walk away, as is the nearest beach and Chynhalls Point. It is an idyllic spot to which we will return.

Another great stay at Apartment 17.

Thanks; we'll be back.

Whilst the location is good, and the views wonderful, sadly, the housekeeping isn't of the same standard.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by a dreadful smell of greasy dead fish, which remained for days. Trying to find the source, we pulled out the fridge, and found a mass of dust and crumbs both under and on top of it. In addition, the kitchen drawers played host to dust and crumbs; the oven trays were grimy, and unuseable, the saucepans were also grease splattered. Cutlery needed a thorough wash before use; we washed what we needed but did not feel it our job to clean the entire collection. We had thought we were going on a holiday, not on a cleaning expedition. In addition to the fishy smell, there was also the excessive odour of "fresh" products that allege to counter bad smells, but only by producing their own bad smell, used on Quilts; Sheets; Towels etc. Whatever happened to fragrance free products? Behind the kitchen sink was another collection of dirt and dust; the towel rail in the bathroom was coated in dust. Despite the excessively fragranced towels, they still smelled bad, and needing a boil wash. The Bathroom was freezing, with no heating, apart from the towel rail, which was restricted to a couple of hours heating outside the time that people are likely to use the bath/shower. The supposedly new sofa was surprisingly uncomfortable, the cushions seem to have collapsed; however the mattress in the bedroom was very comfortable. Sadly, a disappointing visit.

A beautiful apartment with stunning sea views, cosy, clean, everything you needed for a relaxing break.

Would definitely book again

Amazing views of the sea watching the sunrise to the sealife and tides, all different weather's.

Apartment everything you need, was very quite this time of year, and perfectly positioned with the South West Coast Path on your doorstep and Coverack a short distance away, lovely little community shop with very friendly staff

The apartment was fabulous, it was clean & cosy and we felt very comfortable.

There are sea views from every window and the view from the balcony was better than the photos show online. The walk to the beach is not easy in places but it is well worth it when you eventually get there. The local village of Coverack is lovely and the local people are all very friendly. We would definitely look to rebook in the future.

Amazing views across a lawn and beach to the sea with seals and dolphins and beautiful skies.

Coastal paths on the doorstep. 10 minute walk to Terence Coventry sculpture park on one direction. 10 minute walk to Coverack in the other to reach fish & chips, a pub, community shop and cafe along with a fabulous harbour and beach. The apartment was clean and comfortable. We arrived to find a cream tea, biscuits, milk and a welcome gift. Good information on the apartment and area in an easy access folder. Our only issue was some noise coming from the adjacent apartment to the bedroom.

For those wanting to chill and relax in a beautiful spot, this property is perfect.

The views are stunning no matter the weather and having the double aspect windows means you see the sunrise over the sea.

We have returned to this apartment many times, and continue to love it.

The property has a really welcome feel and the location is perfect. We love waking up to the morning sun streaming in and seals below in the bay, and watching the ships and yachts whilst sitting on the balcony.

A fabulous apartment with stunning views set in a glorious location.

Our second visit and thoroughly enjoyed the week, the good weather was a bonus.

This is one of the best places we've ever stayed!

It was comfortable and well-equipped but, best of all, were the views and beautiful location. It was such a treat to eat our breakfast out on the balcony everyday. Thank you so much for the welcome pack. The canvas bag is such a lovely momento of our holiday. We would love to return one day and we very rarely do that!

Amazing holiday home.

Very clean and well equipped with wonderful views.

We have stayed at flat 17 many times.

We are always sorry when we come to the end of our holiday. It is certainly a place to unwind. Thank you for sharing your property us.

We had a really good week.

The apartment was warm, comfortable, well-equipped and with fantastic views. Definitely one worth returning to. The Lizard was quiet this time of year but some places open (Kynance beach cafe, Roskillys, Paris hotel). A great shame the village shop in Coverack has closed down - hopefully it can reopen. The Spar shop in St Keverne is well stocked though.

Lovely welcome gifts.

Our second stay at the apartment, weather was interesting with the storm and 90mph winds buy still had the seals daily and the horses. Weather didn't stop us getting about in the car and/or walking into Coverack and the sculpture park. All in all a lovely relaxing week will gladly go again

After several visits, we still flat 17 a great place to unwind.

Pat and Dave

Another fantastic week in this fabulous apartment.

Our third visit and still captivated by those stunning views. The apartment is spotlessly clean and has everything you need. We can't wait to return!

You couldn't get closer to the sea!

Brilliant views from every window. Comfortable bed and sofa. Every kitchen utensil you could want. Hobnobs in the welcome pack as well as scones, thanks! We wanted to book again for the same time next year but it was already booked. Only glitch to point out, as another reviewer said, Sykes email you entry code information which looks like a corrupted file. The App shows the correct codes however.

Very clean and comfortable and well equipped.

Lovely views which could be enjoyed from the balcony and large windows. Would recommend.

An amazing location with views like I have never experienced.

Very clean, modern. Sheila ( the cleaner/ person who looked after property for owner, helped me get in as yourselves did not give me correctcodeson your email, do please check.) The bedroom Is next to next door's kitchen, so as they were v early risers, I was woken at 6.30am each am with banging cupboards, doors and boiling kettles, etc. However, the views and location and standard of property made upforthis. A magical location iwill keep in my mind's eye for sometime tocome. Thank you.

The apartment was just what we wanted great views from the balcony and living room .

Close to the costal path and beach and in walking distance to the lovely village of Coverack . Will be booking again

A comfortable and cosy place, which is important weatherwise when visiting off-season.

We enjoyed the view very much, stunned with the many impressions. The easy takeover/handover procedure was much appreciated. I do not have anything negative to say. And hope that we find the opportunity to stay there again some time. Thank you for having us.

Lovely apartment with stunning views of the sea from every window, very comfortable, everything we needed for a very relaxing stay.

We returned again and had a fantastic holiday in this really lovely apartment in an amazing location.

Lovely apartment with the views being the highlight!

!

Wonderful location, nice clean flat for two.

Stunning views. Flat had everything you need. Excellent coffee at The Loft in the village & very friendly place.

Lovely apartment.

Fantastic views and excellent standard of housekeeping.Would book again.

Superb location with sea views out of every window.

Missing the sound of the waves already.Surrounding area great for walks.sculpture park nearby was very good a visit recommended by the owner. Hope to return .

Perfect 2nd stay as was my 1st stay March 2022.

I will be back. Quiet, clean, comfy, well insulated even when the wind gets up to 50 mph. Enjoyed several stunning walks in local area plus lots of things to make use of my National Trust membership. The cream tea, milk, biscuits and newly added tea towel to welcome pack was an extra nice touch. The sound of the waves at night certainly helped me sleep. I need to record them for when I get home.

Great property, great location and view.

This was an absolutely beautiful place to stay!

. Lovely clean and well furnished appartment and the view from the balcony was amazing! We had a wonderful week and would love to go back again on the not too distant future! Thank you!

Am a return visitor to this apartment, and I hope to be again.

Absolutely love this flat. The layout is perfect to relax and admire the view and the welcome gift was much appreciated.

Lovely to arrive to gift and cream tea.

Very well equipped kitchen. Stunning location

Superb apartment in a fantastic location.

And secluded beach.

We have stayed many times at apartment 17, it is a place where as soon as you arrive you feel any stress drifting away.

The apartment is really well cared for and had recently been updated with new furniture which was great. The view over the sea and headland is stunning, you regularly spot seals in the bay below and you can easily pass time watching the boats whilst sat on the balcony. This is a very special place.

This was our second stay at the apartment and once again we were overwhelmed with the view and facilities available.

The new updates the owners have made such as the new sofa and little table are great. We shall be booking again for next year

Excellent location could not have had a better experience.

Absolutely stunning location and fabulous accommodation.

We will definitely book again.

Wonderful stay.

Everything we could need provided, including great coffee and machine. Plus superb location and spectacular views! Thank you!

We had a lovely stay.

The view is unparalleled! The surrounding area is simply beautiful. Thank you for a relaxing, memorable week.

Absolutely spectacular location and view.

Easy access to walking and driving to lots of different locations for exploring. Property allows for proper holiday mode, relaxing whilst listening to the ocean. Great view from all the windows and washing up has never been so easy. I had everything I needed. Seating and bed was comfy. Star gazing at night. So peaceful and I think I had the whole building to myself for most of the week. Getting stuff up and down the stairs was worth the effort. Communal areas and grounds well looked after. I've had a lovely holiday and would use Apartment 17 again. Missing the view and sounds of the wind and ocean. Very jealous of owner of the flat. My dream kind of home. Thanks

It really is simply perfect.

The apartment is lovely, being well equipped and thoughtfully laid out. . In winter it has a nice cosy feel and I should imagine in summer with the balcony doors open it would be light and airy. Brilliant extra touches such as binoculars, telescope and coffee machine mean a lot too. The apparent was spotless on arrival and the gift on the table was nice. The views ... well!! To have one window with such a view is a real bonus. To have every window offering such a wonderful backdrop one wonders that maybe if this apartment doesn’t have the best views in the country, at least there’s none that afford better. And a balcony too!!. I genuinely have fallen in love with apartment 17 Coverack Headland, the owners have an absolute peach. It’s remote and unspoilt location , cleanliness of the building and excellent maintenance of the grounds complete what is possibly the most one sided uncritical feedback review I’ve ever been able to provide. Thank you

We loved staying in this apartment.

Despite arriving during Storm Arwen, we were very warm and appreciated the complimentary scones and drinks left for our arrival. The new coffee machine was an added bonus. The views from the windows and balcony were incredible and we were able to watch gannets and dolphins from our viewpoint. We even had a young kestrel land on the balcony railing. There was a good assortment of crockery, glasses and cooking equipment, as well as binoculars and a telescope provided. The apartment had recently been redecorated, and the whole place felt clean and welcoming. We will hopefully return in the near future.

Apt 17 always delivers.

The new decor in the lounge is lovely and the addition of the coffee machine has been the final touch. Thank you.

The apartment has fantastic views of the sea and coast.

It is extremely comfortable, clean and well equipped, even down to having a telescope and binoculars to get closer to the wildlife and shipping. The recent changes to the furnishings have been very successful. We found nothing to criticise and lots to praise.

Great apartment and stunning views.

The apartment was lovely with everything we needed. The only thing that would have made it better would have been for a wetsuit drying shed as part of the complex - or somewhere under cover to hang our neoprene - there were quite a few swimmers staying in the apartments generally so maybe something to consider at your next meeting. Loved the boot trays at the bottom of the stairs - so useful.

We really enjoy property with its stunning views, that’s why we keep returning.

Flat 17 is always clean and welcoming. It is equipped to a good standard. A real home from home. We look forward to our return next month.

Superb location .

Stunning views . Key collection instructions excellent . Apartment was very clean but some of the decor is staring to look a little tired

One of the best equipped cottages we have stopped in.

To improve it the TV should be on a bracket on the wall above where the dining table is. This would give access to the window with the stunning view towards Falmouth. Do everyone a favour and replace the worlds most uncomfortable sofa with a new one ! Even a couple of beanbags would be better than that.

The apartment was dirty when we arrived.

It is quite small and the equipment very old and tired. The view from the balcony is fabulous and we were lucky with the weather so spent a lot of time out there. The bedroom is roomy, comfortable and has sea views. The shower however is dreadful. Fixed to the side wall and filthy on top. And between the cushions of the old leather 2 seater sette is goodness knows how many months/years worth of crumbs and unidentifiable detritus. Very off putting. The previous tenants had left dirty crockery and cutlery which all had to be washed before use. These are basics which the cleaners should check at every changeover.

Been here before.

That speaks for itself!!

This property is well loved and cared for in a hidden gem of a village in Cornwall.

With stunning views over the coast and a short walk into the village. We have returned year on year as we love it so much

We have stayed at apartment 17 before and cannot fault it’s location.

If we had one negative comment it would be that the apartment is starting to look a little dated and could do with a freshen up

Fantastic place to stay, had everything you needed , views from balcony were amazing, could have sat there every day !

Only one annoying thing, was trying to get in front door !! Having put code in it only worked 2 out of ten times ! But apart from that brilliant

Apartment 17, Headland, Coverack did not fail to impress!

Beautiful, cozy apartment with spectacular views. Very clean and lots of added extras such as a telescope and binoculars with which to spy all the wildlife around the headland. There was also a lovely welcome pack which included a cream tea! The only drawback was that the bedroom backs onto the kitchen/living area of the next apartment and unfortunately for us the people in there were quite noisy some nights and kept me awake.

1) Regarding the property, it is a lovely property and the location and views are excellent which really make this apartment so desirable (this is our fourth visit!

). However, although perfectly adequate in most respects, there are a couple of changes that should be considered for improvement. The new 32" TV is perfect for an apartment of this size, but it dominates the space by a picture window with lovely views towards Falmouth. It would be a great improvement if the TV were to be hung from the wall above the dining table on a hinged bracket - this would free up the window space to take an easy chair such as is in the bedroom, which gives much pleasure with the superb ever-changing views. Secondly, the two-seater settee, although adequate, is far from comfortable for extended periods, particularly for those with back problems. 2) Regarding the main (hotel) building, a small luggage lift / dumb waiter would make life far easier to take baggage up and down the two storeys to the apartment, especially for elderly or infirm visitors. 3) Regarding Sykes, the company was very helpful in obtaining Covid 19 precautions being taken within the apartment and communal areas, however we were continually bombarded with emails relating to additional bookings, before, during and after our holiday. Please refrain from doing this as it simply detracts from the already booked holiday - far too much information and unwanted irritations. I'm afraid to say that it's a big "turn off" from using Sykes again. However, we did thoroughly enjoy our holiday.

Just brilliant from start to finish.

Emails on key collection clear and easy. Excellent service. Apt 17 is just lovely and the views are stunning. Could of sat on that balcony the whole week just looking at that view but sadly the weather had other ideas but we did get 3 nice days. Will definitely book again.

This is a really lovely, well equipped apartment with absolutely stunning sea views from every window.

I would most definitely recommend it. The only criticism I have is that it is on the 2nd floor with no lift which made getting our suitcases etc up & down very difficult as both my husband & myself have health problems & he has mobility problems - I feel the lack of a lift should be made clear on the booking website. That said, I would still return in the future but would probably change how I pack.

This is the first time we have booked a holiday with Sykes and it won't be the last!

The quality of the customer service was top notch from day one with constant email reminders which we found helpful and the contacts available in the event of any problems showed continued service. The price was what we thought was very reasonable but on arrival found that the quality of the apartment exceeded that price. We are already looking at the Sykes website to book again for 2020. Thanks for everything Mike and Julie Wollacott

All aspects were excellent from the word go!

!

From arrival to departure, everything was perfect.

?We could not have asked for a better holiday.

Headland 17 is a beautifully presented and very well-equipped apartment in a fabulous location, with amazing views from the balcony.

We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the world go by, from walkers along the coastal path, to surfers and bathers on the beach in the small cove below, to yachts and ships out in Falmouth Bay. Coverack is also a lovely little village with a couple of excellent cafes, a pub, fish and chip shop, gift shops, and a couple of restaurants. There is a lively programme of events during the summer and we attended the village fete one afternoon, which was a pleasant way to spend an hour or two. We were there during the week of 9th-16th August when it was Pirate and Mermaid week, with the village fete, regatta, photo exhibition, and Pisky Trail, so lots of different things for all ages. It's also ideal for exploring Helford River and the Lizard Peninsula, as you can be in the heart of both within 20 minutes. This was our second visit to this apartment, having also visited last year but it probably won't be our last!

Sykes emailing directions and entry instuctions a week prior was very helpful (and very accurate).

The apartment is amazing - veiws from 3 sides. We could lay in the comfy king size bed and see the stars at night, shower in the morning while gazing at the sea, and have lunch on the balcony with breathtaking views. Although the apartment is not very big, it was very comfortable, perfect for 2. Biscuits, tea, coffee, milk and flowers were gratefully received. We swam in the sea, on the private beach - was a little chilly in early May. Most days we walked (15 mins) into the very quaint fishing village of Coverack with cafes, pub, fish and chip shop, small grocery shop and gift shops. We enjoyed walking The Lizard, Church Cove and Kynance Cove is a must. Also had great fun at Helston's Floral Day. We will definitely return.

Apartment 17 was excellent.

The location was perfect and offered stunning views with great walks right outside the door. Comfortable and well equipped and the flowers on the table were a nice touch as were the biscuits and milk. The only small criticism is that the oven was very greasy and although we only used it to warm plates it did give off a nasty smell as the grease heated up.Otherwise - perfect thank you.

The flat is lovely, very cosy and in a superb location with lovely views of the cove and the coast in both directions.

Coverack is an excellent base for discovering the Lizard peninsula.

Lovely apartment and amazing views.

We have just returned from a fantastic week in this lovely apartment.

It’s brilliantly equipped for a self catering holiday, there’s everything you could possibly wish for. The village of Coverack is about a 10 minute walk away. We are missing the apartment and it’s stunning views already and we have booked again for next year.

A beautifully refurbished apartment in a stunning location!

It is just the right size for two. A 10-15 minute walk along the coastal path brings you into Coverack, with a variety of eating options; including a good pub, a few cafes (including one for takeaway pizza), a fish and chip shop, a restaurant and a hotel restaurant open to non-residents. Views from the apartment, the coastal path, and Coverack are exceptional! Would love to go back!
