"Took a mini break away to fit in as respite from medical treatment."
We'd really enjoyed seeing the sights of relatives who have lived in the area, spending hours just watching the views from the apartment and exploring the nearby villages and coastal paths. Having said about the outside, the apartment was perfect, bathroom with a wonderful walk in shower, everything required in ways of cleaning products, fresh coffee for the machine was an added luxury and wonderful to sit back with breakfast in the mornings, occasionally on the balcony which we'd found plastic mugs, ideal using outdoors. Even the clothes horse was a great bonus so washing was ready for taking home. A wonderful and perfect place to stay again.
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback and we're really pleased it provided the respite you needed. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"The property was extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean ."
It was very spacious and comfortable with an amazing view . The fort had a very extensive library for books , dvd's and jigsaws in case of wet weather and there is extensive walking all round the area . The apartment is perfect for getting away from the crowds and there is always something to see from the fabulous window and balcony .
Thank you for your kind feedback. We agree there is always something to see from the window - storms are the best! Property Owner

"A Real Gem !"
Stunning views changing all the time. Lovely apartment, comfy bed and sofa. Balcony was magic. No telescope though. Beaches nearby and water taxi to Plymouths ocean city ! All the people there are cool and relaxed. The harbour and boats were picturesque.

"The communication with Helpful Holidays was extremely poor and not to have received information from the owner regarding the key combination until 7pm the night before our holiday was due to start was exceedingly bad (and then only after 2 calls from us to HH)."
The process didn't seem to be understood by HH despite it being their process! It was a good job we did speak to the owner however, she was very helpful and she told us that towels were not provided which was contrary to what was stated on the website. The apartment was very nice , clean and well equipped and the view was amazing, however some instructions on how to use the appliances would have been useful (I guess this kind of thing has been impacted by Covid, but lamenated info cards could be provided). We enjoyed our holiday and will very likely go back another time.
Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback, we were sorry to hear there was a misunderstanding in regards to the owner contacting you prior to your stay. We have spoken to the owner regarding the points raised and they have apologised on the oversight on this occasion. Despite this we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your visit to Red Peg.

"Red Peg in reality is more than the details show."
The flat itself is excellent- clean and tidy with quality furnishings and a good size well equipped kitchen.
But the views are amazing. Watching sunrise and sunset each day from the balcony and hearing the sea at night were some of the highlights.
Joanne the owner was lovely as we had a few questions which she helped us out with Our stay there was great and I’m sure we will be going back when we’re able to.
Thanks again to Joanne and Sykes for a fantastic week.

Qur previous visit was in summer and we were concerned about being warm during a winter stay but no worry each room was heated to a comfortable level and easily controlled.The only slight problem we had was a failure of the lift to our floor on our last morning,but a helpful resident showed us an alternative lift which came up as far as the floor below ours.We shall look to stay again

"We have used helpful holidays for 4 previous holidays and been really pleased."
There was no welcome pack of any kind. Unfortunately the property had a very poor mobile signal and no land line so if there had been an emergency you would have a problem. There was no WiFi and only basic tv.There was only 1 tea towel provided for a week with no dishwasher which is very poor. There were lovely gardens and a pool but you could not access them without security codes which were not provided. There was no information on the heating although it was stated there was a leaflet somewhere in the kitchen which we never found. The saving grace was the view.
Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Red Peg. We are delighted to confirm that WiFi is now provided at Red Peg. We have asked our housekeepers to ensure that 2 or 3 tea towels are provided in future. We do not advertise having a dishwasher but this is something we are considering for next year. The pool is not available to guests, but the gardens are free for guests to wander around. We have checked, and are happy to confirm that the information folder does give full information on how to work the heating. We are sorry if you did not find this during your stay. Despite the points raised we are very pleased you enjoyed the beautiful views Red Peg has to offer.

"Initial contact with owner not straight forward,main phone number not available,had to use mobile number."
Note that no code is necessary for the gate,it's always open,please update initial info.Flat is reasonably equipped kitchen wise but there are some short comings elsewhere.Plug for recharging razors missing bur contacted owner and it was delivered the next day.Water pressure very poor,hot water was a problem it was hot at first then decided that was it,we had to boil the kettle.No soap dish in shower although it was a very good shower and hot too.
The view was excellent and the permanent residents friendly and most helpful.Despite earlier reviews there were plenty of towels available,just as we left the pool was opened and it is heated and set in lovely gardens.Good walks all around but take a map of the Tamar Valley.

"The view across the bay was superb with ships, both RN and others, so often present."
Red Peg was ideal for two persons, village shops were not too far away, likewise ferries to Plymouth. Our break there exceeded our expectations though it must be admitted that for most of the time the weather was quite perfect. Should we decide to look again at Cornwall we will almost certainly return to Red Peg.
