"Light not working in master bedroom shower room."

Extractor fan not working Two glasses cracked on arrival Some chipped pottery Grubby carpets Poor single shower performance, cold water if another shower used at the same time Poor storage in kitchen and for other items Poor mattresses and beds Stain on one mattress and on bedding upstairs Both doors very stiff and difficult to operate Broken window latches No dust pan Too many cars in car park resulting in double parking Items down sofas from previous occupier

Thank you for your feedback. There is not an extractor fan at the property it is an air circulation system which is no longer in use. We are sorry to hear you found chipped and cracked glasses, normally this would have written in the damages book and those items subsequently disposed of. The broken latch has been replaced, also the mattresses and linen have been checked. The dust pan is kept under the sink and the hoover is located under the stairs. We are sorry you experienced trouble with the parking, there are two space allocated to guests in front of the property. It is agreed that the front doors can be stiff at times but are oiled regularly. Property Owner

"Porthtowan was a fabulous Cornish secret."

The house was very close to the beach, well equipped and very comfortable. The only downside was that there is no phone signal except through the internet and when that went down on the Wednesday we tried to contact people and no one responded to us. Contact details in the folder were out of date. We wanted to advise that on arrival the toilet seat in the en suite was broken and would need to be replaced but could get hold of anyone. Hence we felt a little left on our own.

"Lovely house."

Kitchen outstanding. Only thing that would have been nice is extra wardrobe space. 1 double wardrobe between 8 of us was inadequate. Perfect location. Lovely pub grub all around. Recommend Red Lion Inn in Blackwater and Miners Arms.

"Lovely house in a great location."

It was really warm and toasty and there was always hot water. However: 1) the duvet on the front bedroom double bed needs replacing. All the filling has disintegrated and is in clumps. Plus it’s not big enough for the bed. 2) my father in law found a pair of pants under one of the beds in the front bedroom with the single beds in. Not sure the cleaners are very thorough as they definitely weren’t his! 3) one badly cracked wine glass and two chipped mugs in the kitchen cupboard. Again the cleaners can’t be checking after each rental. 4) the duvet on the double bed in the ground floor bedroom is too small for the bed, it just about touches the edge of the mattress. Also the sink in the en-suite bathroom is way too small. You can only just get your hands in it. It’s fit for a cloak room not a bathroom. 5) dust and dog hairs under the easy chairs and tv cabinet. My mother in law got covered in it when retrieving our dogs ball which had rolled under them. Again cleaners not doing a good job. 6) rusty roasting dish needs replacing, as does the large frying pan. The oven also needs a thorough clean. We cooked each night so noticed these things more than some people might. 7) the Dyson hoover runs out after 2 minutes use, there must be a loose connection in the charging point. 8) no hanging space in any bedroom for clothes. My in laws only had two bed side cabinets in their room. This needs addressing. 9) the door sticks badly in the front double bedroom. 10) mirrors are needed in the ground floor bedroom and upstairs twin rooms. No where to look when you’re drying your hair. 11) the standing mirror in the upstairs front double room is really wobbly. 12) the dining table chairs aren’t great. They really need replacing. A couple are really wobbly and wonky. 13) dirty glass measuring jug in the kitchen. I had to wash it before use. 14) some dirty knives and forks which we had to wash before use. I know this sounds like a real moan, but unless you’re informed of these issues you can’t make them right for the next people that rent the house. Overall we had a great holiday, but it could have been outstanding had the above issues not occurred. I would be grateful if you could email me directly to confirm that you’ve received my comments.

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Sea Breeze 17 Gannel. We have spoken to the owner and he was most grateful to have received your constructive comments and would like to advise yourself and future guests that he intends to make several improvements at the property during his visit in April. He was also most concerned to have read your remarks regarding cleanliness at his property and will be contacting his housekeeping team to discuss and to ensure there is no recurrence of this. Despite the points raised we are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

"When we arrived the place was absolutely freezing."

It took over 2 hours for the place to warm up. One heater in the dining area wasn't working and neither did the one in the ground floor bedroom. We also had no hot water half way through the week. Although you tried to remedy this we had no signal at all to con tact you and missed your message about leaving the key in the keypad for the electrian. We got the message on our landline when we arrived home.

"Cleanliness of the lodge was ok but the furnishings really need to be updated."

Dining room chairs were a little unstable and the settee was so uncomfortable. A 4 bedroom lodge with no wardrobe space at all. Really could not get my head around that situation. It is ideal for the 8 of us that stayed. Loads of space. Location was great for a walk to the beach.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and pleased to hear you enjoyed the lovely location. We have noted your comments and will be replacing the sofa in the coming months. We are also planning to add storage to all the bedrooms at the same time. Property Owner

"The listing needs to make it clear that the building is part of a former Hoseasons holiday development and not part of a street or road in the village of Porthtowan."

The owner needs to put double beds in bedrooms that can accommodate the bed and some storage/hanging or suitcase space, as 2 of the doubles were tight to get around if you had any luggage or if there was more than 1 person in the bedroom. Next door's rear gutter overflowed for the first 2 days from rainfall and kept the outdoor space wet for some time, which is where we needed to store outdoor items such as bikes. Some seating to the rear of the property is a good idea, as the gravelled corner area catches the sun nicely, whereas the front is in shade for most of the day.

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay. We have spoken with the owner who has asked us to cover the points mentioned in order to help yourselves and reassure future guests. We would like to confirm that Sea Breeze is not part of a Hoseeasons development, although there are other properties on the site that are marketed by them. We are looking at altering the bed configurations to allow for additional storage. Unfortunately we are unable to rectify our neighbours gutter, however we will make every effort to contact them and advise of the situation, bikes can be stored near the back doors, where there is no overflow. The graveled area on the corner is part of the communal area and does not belong to us, we are therefore unable to place furniture here, we have requested that the management company provide seating and tables here because as you say it is a perfect sun trap. There isn't space at the rear of the property to provide seating. Despite the points raised we do hope you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Not suitable for dogs,not allowed on beach."

Not suitabe for any physical disabilities, extremely steep hills. Lounge furniture sits 5 not 8 uncomfortably as sofa sinking. Mattresses on double and king beds sinking. Shower cubicle in master room needs good scrubbing. Sink in downstairs bedroom too small. The iron is a tiny travel iron. Beautiful scenery. Very well stocked kitchen. We did have a very nice holiday but had to travel out every day due to having a dog with us.

Thank you for taking the time to complete our feedback response for your recent stay at Seabreeze 17 Gannel. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed about the beach restrictions during your stay, this is however a restriction placed on most beaches in Devon & Cornwall during the summer months. Although the property has ground floor accommodation the property is not specifically advertised as being suitable for people with mobility difficulties, we encourage people that have concerns about access within the property to call us and discuss the layout. We have place a brand new Iron and Dyson cordless hoover in the property and we have memory foam mattresses that are turned on a regular basis to avoid sinking, the sofa cushions have been replaced and cleaned with new throws added.We have completed a deep clean in the shower, and we have also replaced the kitchen clock. We are pleased to hear that despite the points raised you enjoyed your stay at Seabreeze 17 Gannel. Property Owner

Porthtowan is a small village resting on west Cornwall’s beautiful coastline, renowned for its Blue Flag beach, which at low tide exposes almost a mile and a half of fine, golden sands. Fringed by impressive granite cliffs, the beach is a popular surfing venue and is lifeguarded during the summer, making it ideal for families. Porthtowan is part of the St Agnes designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and there are some wonderful walks to be found, offering vivid scenery along the South West Coast Path, whether you choose to head east to St Agnes or west to Portreath. The towns of St Ives and Penzance, with their art galleries, restaurants and quaint harbours, are half an hour’s drive away, whilst Flambards Theme Park, The Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek, and the Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station are just a few of the other diverse attractions scattered around this picturesque region. A great base for a varied family break.
