  • "Bright and spacious with stunning views over Perranporth and the Atlantic."

    .. However,,,this property claims to be a 'luxurious retreat, the seating provided in the lounge area is far from luxurious, 2 x 2seater sofa's normally not a problem but, these provided no comfort whatsoever they were extremely hard not dissimilar to sitting on a wooden board, the back was so low there was no support even if you could tolerate sitting on them for any length of time, there was also 2 chairs which were so low it was a struggle to get in and out of them and provided very little comfort...We found ourselves sitting at the dining table or spending time on the bed if we wanted to watch TV of an evening...In front of the property is a lovely coastal path and used at all times from early morning to early evening by dog walkers shouldn't be a problem unless you have a family with 3 dogs in the nxt door holiday property who all bark at the passers by with dogs, the more frequent the dog walkers the more intense the barking it was horrendous at times...There was also some issues with cleanliness.... If comfort, peace and quite are top of your holiday agenda (unless Sykes decide to address the issues mentioned and act upon them) then this property isn't for you...If you're happy with just space and a fabulous view this property cannot be faulted.... I have booked many holidays with Skyes over many years and this is the first bad review I've felt compelled to post... Extremely disappointed..!! Falls far short of Luxurious....

  • "We loved our stay and couldn’t get enough of the sea view each day."

    The house is wonderful and is in a nice peaceful and quiet spot, with living accommodation upstairs to make the most of the view. Our only issues where, the two sofas in the living room are extremely uncomfortable, they are rock hard, literally like sitting on hard board, even my husband couldn’t cope each evening. With the price of the stay these could really do with being higher quality to match the wonderful finish throughout the property. Also the parking space for two cars was a real struggle, with cars in the space next door, a very tight sharp corner wall the other side and thorny overgrown blackberry bushes in front it was a very tight manoeuvre every time we left the property which was a couple of times per day. My Father had to move his car right up to the wall to enable my husband to get out that bit easier. However we didn’t let this spoil our stay we just made it work each time. We would absolutely book another stay here if the sofas were replaced with something more comfortable, the house really is wonderful.

PERRANPORTH

Newquay 9 miles; Truro 9.5 miles.

Perranporth, a beautiful Cornish coastal town, lies in the heart of Poldark Country, the setting for the novels of Winston Graham who lived in Perranporth in the 1930s. Perranporth offers plenty of traditional pubs and shops, plus a classic bucket-and-spade beach that is lifeguarded in summer, overlooked by craggy rocks and a wonderful coastal path. Once known as the source of the finest tin, the community still retains reminders of the rich heritage with abandoned pump houses, mine shafts and workers’ cottages. The local Blue Hills Museum and Perranzabuloe Folk Museum are both well worth a visit to understand the fascinating history of this coastal area. Further afield are the miles of sandy beaches at Crantock and Holywell Bay, and the breathtaking coastal walks around St Agnes, much of it owned by the National Trust. A perfect holiday base in Cornwall, with an abundance of activities to suit everyone.
