“We arrived at Ocean View and what a lovely surprise when we reached the top of the steps, a lovely little terrace with furniture and sea views.”

On opening the front door we were pleasantly surprised to find a beautifully spacious and modern apartment. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The Jacuzzi bath was so good! There were cakes in the kitchen, flowers on the sitting room coffee table and a chocolate each side of the bed. ...

On opening the front door we were pleasantly surprised to find a beautifully spacious and modern apartment. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The Jacuzzi bath was so good! There were cakes in the kitchen, flowers on the sitting room coffee table and a chocolate each side of the bed. We spent a great week there and it was also close to a lot of lovely places to visit. We would definitely go back there. (We did have to go and buy a couple of egg cups, as we do enjoy boiled eggs when on holiday!) A great place to stay. Would thoroughly recommend it.

“The apartment was beautifully kitted out inside with lovely furnishings and the views from the balcony were delightful.”

The lack of a shower was disappointing, especially when where was no hot water to fill the bath, so lay back and relax in a cold bath!! What we did find particularly helpful was the early morning wake up calls, as there were roadworks being carried out directly outside the property during our stay and neither Sykes or the owners informed us of this. This resulted in a convalescing stay turning into a tiring break, which didn’t deliver what was needed or expected. This wasn’t one of the cheapest properties on offer and it didn’t deliver on expectations. Neither Sykes or the owners have managed to respond to my many calls, which again doesn’t fulfil the company promise.

- Mr French, August 2020

Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback. We are very pleased that you found the apartment to be well equipped with lovely furnishings and a delightful view. It is disappointing however, that there was work being carried out on the road at the time of your stay. I am pleased to say that since your feedback, we have contacted you and the issue has been resolved. There are also contact details in the property should any issues arise and so wish you had contact us regarding the hot water so that the issue could have been resolved at te time. We look forward to welcoming you back. Sykes owner relations

“We loved Ocean View, it was extremely clean and roomy.”

It had everything we needed, and we really enjoyed our stay. It is a handy location, with a Tesco right opposite, and in driving distance to lots of places to explore.

“Absolutely lovely place better than the photos we could not fault anything and would thoroughly recommend this place if you like luxury and modern and clean living.”

We have been in places that don't quite exceed the expectations and photos do it justice but Ocean View was quite the opposite. It was a Fantastic place to stay.

“Balcony - basically this is a decked area at the top of the stairs not a place to sit and relax /admire the view Stools in kitchen are so uncomfortable Spa bath - nice but ideally needed some grab rails to get in and out .”

Shower attachment useless Towels - very tiny and air dried so rock hard Car parking space very very tight to access Not really up to the usual Sykes standard

- Mrs Vasey, September 2019
Mr York July 2019

“Lovely flat, very tasteful quality decor, nice patio with sea view, nice welcome pack, parking off road for one car, excellent central location to explore Cornwall.”

To be highly recommended!

Mrs Webb July 2019

“Accommodation was excellent, very beautifully decorated with some lovely touches and clean.”

All the essentials provided that we would need including hairdryer, towels and iron if required. Lovely welcome gift on arrival of flowers prosecco and a cream tea! which was truly appreciated. We chose accommodation as central base from which to explore and found lots to do locally, as well as travelling further, the Eden Project is only 5 minutes away and well worth a visit. We were lucky to have beautiful sunny weather all week and enjoyed eating our breakfast on the balcony every morning. Shop across the road was good for popping into if needed. One thing to note is that the club opposite has a live band every Saturday night until midnight so it was noisy. But we just stayed up and went to sleep when over, so not an issue for us. Would recommend property and loved staying there

“Site of luxury flat opposite a Tesco Express and a Social Club and on a very busy road.”

Terrace gave a view to Tesco on one side and housing estate and distant view of sea on other. Straight ahead was the side of a house. Did catch the sun. Flat well positioned for visiting tourist sites nearby. Shower over bath not suitable for showers. No fixing on wall, hose not long enough and no shower screen. The only table for eating had very uncomfortable wooden stools. Standard of other fittings good bed comfortable.. Very clean. Car parking space unsuitable for a long car as not enough space between steps and pavement. ***Owner Response*** Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback. We make note of the busy road and noise on the website to ensure guests are not taken by surprise by the immediate surroundings of the property. However, we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your holiday exploring this beautiful area and we hope you visit again soon.

“2nd time at this property.”

Friendly area. Tesco express across road. Easy access to A30 and A390., And the rest of Cornwall. Eden project is expensive as was unable to buy day pass. But with everything else you can do and see why worry.

Mrs Leader February 2019

“We had a really lovely stay at Ocean View, overall the cottage was lovely, and a very good base for visiting the area and the view was stunning .”

The road outside could get quite noisy , the shop directly opposite was very convenient. All in all we had a very enjoyable time .

Mr Reynolds November 2018

“We had a wonderful holiday in Cornwall which was enhanced by the lovely stay at Ocean View in St Austell.”

The apartment was ideally situated and was easy to find. The decor was superb with quality fittings and homely extras which made our stay both comfortable and enjoyable.

Mrs Thornton September 2018

“Made to feel very welcome at Ocean view with flowers, fizz and chocolate cake, lovely touch.”

Well situated for many of the local attractions, comfortable and stylish accommodation. Very handy having Tesco express opposite.

- Mrs Thornton, September 2018
Miss Taylor September 2018

“The apartment was lovely but we felt that the balcony and the views that were advertised were mis-represented as it was smaller than shown and managed to miss out the housing estate directly below on the right which also contributed to it being noisy and not relaxing.”

Also, being on the right of the apartment meant the busy main road was directly behind us and so also meant extra noise from passing cars and lorries. We were also rather annoyed that the ‘local shop’ was a Tesco express directly opposite our bedroom window with deliveries arriving at 6am and customers from the nearby schools and college also creating a lot of noise. We have used Sykes before and have been really pleased with where we stayed but on this occasion were both very disappointed, particularly as it was our honeymoon; we came home a day early. Based on all of the above we wouldn’t recommend Ocean View.

Mr Barnes March 2018

“The trip was fantastic.”

When we arrived at the apartment we were amazed at how clean it was and throughout the stay it didn’t disappoint. We loved it there. Deffinately would recommend it to anyone staying in St. Austell.

- Mr Barnes, March 2018
Mr Horton March 2018

“Used the Postcode in our Satnav.”

However this didn't take us directly to the house. Just the general area. Although very near to the house. I would suggest that if in the description it said that the Flat is directly opposite Tesco Express it would be clearer to people staying here. But I will say the Flat and Facilities were brilliant . I would definitely use this again.

About the location

ST. AUSTELL

Charlestown 2 miles; Carlyon Bay 3 miles; Mevagissey 6 miles; Fowey 8 miles.

The old market town of St Austell, just a mile or two from the south coast, is famous as the historic centre of the china clay mining industry. Today, its many beaches and its sub-tropical gardens provide plenty to see and do. The wonderful Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project are perfect for a family day out, and a little further afield Caerhays Castle provides a stunning backdrop to Porthluny Cove. On the edge of town, St Austell Brewery offers tours of the Victorian brewing equipment and a chance to sample the local beer, and for those looking for surf and sand, St Austell Bay has several beaches to choose from - Porthpean, Carlyon Bay, Pentewan, Polkerris - the last offering a variety of water-sports. As well as a small shingle beach, Charlestown, a pretty, historic port, often has wooden sailing ships in the harbour, and is popular as a film location. A little further afield are Fowey and its beautiful estuary to the east and the fishing port of Mevagissey to the west. With lots to do and something to keep the whole family entertained, St Austell is a great year-round destination.
