Mr Gorringe
September 2020

“We have visited this property about 9 times before and the cleanliness has always been ok, this time all we would say is that the floor was cleaner.”

- Mr Gorringe, September 2020
Mrs Williams September 2020

“The apartment was located in a beautiful location with stunning views, however the balcony outside was tatty with paint peeling off the hand railings,wooden furniture uncomfortable with no seating pads to use.”

We had my parents with us aged 86 and 80 so you can imagine the discomfort for them.Overall inside had everything you needed ,but it needs new internal doors, which were stained and dirty in places. Walls need painting, carpets cleaned.We paid a lot of money for the apartment for the week, in my opinion this could have been sorted out during lockdown when it wasn’t being used.I would appreciate a reply regarding what has been pointed out.

- Mrs Williams, September 2020

Thank you for taking the time to provide your valuable feedback. Unfortunately lockdown prevented the general maintenance usually undertaken. The elements highlighted will be actioned by the Owner early next year. Sykes owner relations

“Love this place, especially as we have been there nine times and will be going back next year.”

Mrs Ives August 2019

“Carpets need a clean the dirt was more evident in the evening when the lights were on.”

The double duvet 10.5 tog needs replacing it had yellow stains on. The sofas need replacing as the seats are very saggy to sit on, you end up sitting in a dip, which is not very comfortable. Both shaver points don't work in the bathrooms. The rail on the balcony had paint flacking off underneath which didn't look very nice, one of the arms on the wooden chairs was broken, could do with some seat cushions and a throw for outside. Would have been nice to have had a coffee machine and some champagne flutes. The front door lock needs looking at before it gives up altogether. There was no parking permit when we arrived. On a positive note the views from the apt were fabulous, and the flowers scones, cream, jam and milk were a nice welcome.

Miss Borgerson July 2019

“Had a lovely break here, nice and relaxing with a great view watching the boats go by.”

Also, just a walk up some steps and then your right by restaurants and shops. Nice extra when we got there, we had scones, jam and clotted cream left for us and some milk, coffee, tea and sugar.

- Miss Borgerson, July 2019
Mrs Pepperell July 2019

“Toby's Quay is a beautiful Appartment, the views are more than we could have hoped for.”

The scones/jam/cream, flowers and milk were a lovely gesture and enjoyable! The apartment had everything and more than was expected and very clean. An added bonus was the garage! The only down for us were the steps/incline ( not good for arthritic knees) to get to the main shops/pubs/restaurants, this was not mentioned in the write up, if it were we probably would not have chosen this apartment. So we ended up going further afield having to use the car for eating out.

- Mrs Pepperell, July 2019
Ms Mills June 2019

“Second stay here so it must be great as I don't go on holiday to the same place twice!”

Same as last year, fab views, fab place. Will return again!

- Ms Mills, June 2019
Mr Scott March 2019

“Their isn't enough superlatives to describe the views and location.”

5 minute walk to a small supermarket or 3 minute drive to a large one. We got engaged on the veranda so we will always have fond memories of this place. On the whole I found the flat adequate for us, being the beginning of April it's a quarter of the price of August. If I had to be picky, there isn't enough pantry space for food that doesn't require refrigerating, under the TV is dusty and yes there's still mold (guests should keep extractor fans on for longer) in the bathrooms. One other daunting experience is walking to the front door, there isn't a railing and it's a drop into the bay. We didn't mind this, for it added to the appeal of the holiday and character of the building The flat is comfortable and warm, plus waking up and walking to the living room and seeing the sun shine through the veranda double doors is breath taking. Would I use this place again? YES,

- Mr Scott, March 2019
Mrs Willatt January 2019

“Emmaculate accommodation, beautiful river location.”

Easy walking distance into town no need to use car. Highly recommended

- Mrs Willatt, January 2019
Mr Gorringe September 2018

“We have been going to this property for the last 5 years with a total of 8 times, so that speaks for itself.”

Mrs Christian August 2018

“Not only was it the perfect location for everything we enjoy on holiday, Tobys ...”

Not only was it the perfect location for everything we enjoy on holiday, Tobys Quay was we think the best we have stayed in for many years so good in fact we have booked for next year already Val Christian & Friends

- Mrs Christian, August 2018
Ms Pearce August 2018

“The furnishings in the apartment were poor.”

The beds were extremely uncomfortable and too small.

- Ms Pearce, August 2018
Ms Mills July 2018

“Superb view.”

Fantastic apartment, very well equipped. Convenient to local town. Plenty to do in and around Falmouth. Am definetely booking again.

- Ms Mills, July 2018
Mr Parry June 2018

“We couldn't fault the view and setting, however the flat was not as clean when we arrived as we would have expected.”

It was a disappointment to have to hoover and dust the flat after travelling for almost 8 hours and 400 miles. Also some of the utensils and crockery were very dirty and had food stains and rust on them! We had to clean everything that we needed before we used them, which one should not have to do after spending over £700 for a weeks stay. Some of the utensils were useless; the knives were so blunt they were redundant (we had to purchase are own), the wooden chopping board was broken and had a big split in it, and the weighing scales didn't have a battery so we couldn't use it. The silicone around the bath and shower had black mould starting to grow. Generally speaking, the apartment seemed a bit tired and would benefit from being redecorated throughout. Good location but seriously lacking in attention to detail. Definitely will not be staying in Toby's Quay's again and unfortunately would not recommend it!

- Mr Parry, June 2018
Mrs Watson May 2018

“Apartment is in a wonderful position, view is amazing and within easy walking distance of great places to eat.”

We will definitely be going back as soon as we can.

- Mrs Watson, May 2018
Mr Gorringe April 2018

“This is the 6th time back to this lovely place so that speaks for itself.”

Great place perfect location.

- Mr Gorringe, April 2018
Ms Burrows April 2018

“The accommodation was of a high standard BUT I had difficulty both opening and closing the door at the back and the front of the property.”

I was not told of the unusual locking mechanism before arriving and although Kristie? helped me solve the problem on arrival it was an issue throughout the stay. The landlord and a neighbour were extremely helpful and did everything they could to sort out a plumbing issue and an electrical problem but Sykes seemed to abandon me and never once checked back during the 2 weeks to make sure that problems were being resolved.

- Ms Burrows, April 2018
Mrs Ross December 2017

“Arriving in the dark was not helpful In winter bookings the time could be altered to suit tired travellers who had never been before and were trying hard to unpack, wheel suitcases, cross cobbles with sea pounding and rain drenched pathways, all in the 'given' time'.”

Once in, I looked for help in the way of car parking info. I appreciate that 'perching at the counter' is for the young and we who are older focus round a table with lower chairs in our own lifestyle but tried hard not to mind. It would have been so nice to speak to someone so I could have asked about mix-up over our bathroom heating, I emailed and phoned but it was not till the end of the week that it got sorted. A welcome pack which I believe had been a nice idea in the past in this property-read the visitors book- was not welcoming us so guess it was a missed trick. We had been travailing for a month and staying ant many different places since leaving France and luckily had some extra bedding to add to main bedroom. I brought in my husbands wheelchair so he had a higher chair to sit in, and get out of, apart from these 'bits' I guess I should have asked...but who? We did love the place and the one man who spurred me on to 'hurry-up' when loading my husband into the car (under 5 minutes) and collect my brother -also a bit slow- was easily dealt with by my pointing out we did in-fact have a little time left on time- card. I loved the place but was a bit stressed out by not being able to talk to Sykes.

Mr Gorringe September 2017

“Great place, second visit this year.”

Will be booking again for next year, probably two times. Fantastic view & location.
