Breakers

We have stayed in this apartment many times over the last few years, and we just keep rebooking it.

Breakers has everything going for it. The apartment is beautiful, the views are stunning and the location is perfect. I would recommend a stay here to anyone. Truly 5

This was our second visit to this property… like the previous reviewer noted, the en-suite smelt very damp on arrival.

And still the window in the main bedroom remains locked. Whilst there I cleaned the air vent above the shower and changed the battery in the clock in the kitchen…. It’s the small things that let this property down.. needs a little TLC to bring it back to what could be a fabulous apartment. Sadly don’t think we will be coming back for a 3rd visit, unless a complete makeover takes place during the winter months.

Our second stay at Breakers.

The accommodation has everything you need, perfect location and great views. Love it here!

Love Breakers!

This was our 3rd stay and we have already booked again for next year. However there was a terrible smell in the en suite and the main bedroom window was locked with no key so we couldn’t open it. I rang the contact number and Cornish Cottages said they would phone back and they didn’t. Also the frying pan was so burnt you couldn’t use it at all and there were no kitchen scissors. The property is beautiful we rent a property out in Filey and as an owner I would like to know of these sort of issues.

Wow amazing first stay at breakers property was spotless has everything u could need.

Views are breathtaking the location couldn't be any better. Can't wait to book again for next year

This was our 4th time at Breakers.

As always cannot fault the apartment, everything you need is provided. Another amazing time spent in our favourite place,with amazing views. Unfortunately the only downside was the extremely noisy neighbours on our second week.

We have been visiting Cornwall for many a year now and our favourite location to stay is around the Fistral Beach area.

Over the years we have stayed in many different apartments and like most people we have our favourites where we have stayed more than once. We have just returned from our first stay in Breakers and we had a great time. It may not of been the newest and most glitzy apartment we have stayed in but it had everything we needed to feel welcome and relaxed. Simple things that we all take for granted when at home like a well equipped kitchen, comfortable furniture and a very comfortable bed. Combine this with its excellent location and the fabulous view from the balcony and I can honestly say that this apartment will definitely now be on our list of favourites.

This lovely flat was perfect for the rest my friend & I needed.

Just sitting on the balcony looking out at that wonderful view was enough to restore the soul. So very sad to leave yesterday, but took with us some wonderful memories. Thank you

We had such a great time and the apartment was perfect in every way.

Thank you

A beautiful holiday home, given you the real chance to relax and recharge.

Stunning views and everything you could need provided. Would stay again for longer.

This was our second visit to the Breakers apartment.

As per before a fantastic time had by all of us. From the views to the comfort of the furnishings everything was perfect. proximity to Fistral is brilliant especially for our Body board loving 11 year old. Great to also find the outside tap to rinse boards and wetties too, saves the plumbing in the apartments. See you next October

Had an absolutely amazing stay this last week in this property.

The location and views are perfect and the apartment has everything you could ever need. We don't get phased by a couple of cup marks on a table or some flaky paint on the balcony as these 'issue's' really do not ruin a fabulous stay in a lovely place. The external areas of the apartment building, although a little tired, equally failed to ruin a great week in beautiful Cornwall. You dont spend a week sat in the stairwell right??? We loved it and have already booked to return for next year. Thank you

We had a lovely holiday, as we always do in newquay.

I have been coming to newqusy for over 30 years, but this is the first time i have felt the need to do a review like this. The good points. The Appartment was lovely, clean and comfy, and the welcome cream tea was a lovely touch. The view over the bay and upto the headland was also amazing. Now for the niggly points, However just a couple of cosmetic bits could do with looking at, eg the veranda could do with a touch of paint and a clean up. And upholstery could do with a clean. As some staining on it. Now the bad points. Upon arrival there was a horrendous smell which i reported straight away, and patio door handle was loose. However it took almost a week for maintenance to come out. So in meantime we had to keep having all windows n patio door open to air it out and buy airfresheners to help difusse the smell. I believe it turned out to be a drain issue. I work for a well known holiday company and if any issues like this are reported its dealt with straight away. So for this fact thats why i rated it as i have. The fact the lift was out of service the whole 2 week was inconvenient to. The whole 2 week there we noticed there was no daily cleaner to clean the hallways, no fire alarm practice and no notices to state the fact of alarm tests. Also warning tape on the stairs and someone keeping their bike locked up on the 1st floor landing, meant having to be carefull as we walked past. No light in the hall by the keysafes and postboxes and anyone could walk into the building as tho internal door had a lock and key if you pulled the door both doors would open. We saw many of residents do this. Again, prior places i have stayed issues like this are dealt with straight away. There was also someone in the apartments nearby us who regularly smoked weed so because of the sea breeze we regularly smelt it. Overall, we had a lovely holiday, even though weather was allover the place, but you cant help the british weather. I just feel what we paid for the holiday was a little over the top concidering we usually hire another apartment nearby which is still a 3 bed but alot bigger, newer, cheaper, mid holiday bedding change, building cleaners, h&s tests and still sea views. A mid break change of bedding and towels would be an idea for anyone staying 2 weeks or more. As it stands, would i book again probably not. If building issues were addressed, maybe.

The properties location is excellent, a 5 minute walk to fisteral beach one way and a 5 minute walk to the shops and restaurants the other, can't beat it really The views from the apartment are just breathtaking and the big selling point for us but unfortunately everything else just fell short on expectations especially for the price for a weeks stay.

Areas of the communal areas ie enterance doors, stairs, lift and paint work are either tired or damaged. We didn't need to use the front door key to the building (not apartment) as the bolt locks had been snapped out of one of the double doors meaning even the doors were locked you could just pull them open. Several edging trims on the stairs had been ripped off presumably by surf boards etc that had been dragged up the stairs and were in storage in the hall ways. The lift itself did work but the emergency alarm was not in use if it broke down so therefore had do not use stickers on. We did clarify with the owner before arrival as my partner is a wheelchair user and needed to use the lift. Just needed to make sure we had a phone with signal to make with reception when in the lift or another member of are party to use the stairs when my partner was in the lift in case of a breakdown emergency. Thankfully we got through the holiday with no problems. On to the apartment. Again just tired in areas and dirty in others. Peeling paint around windows, door lock mechanism on patio doors rusted up making it difficult to lock and unlock door, damaged lampshades, slats on single beds, laminate flooring, dining table covered in ring stains and marks, dirt and stains on and down the side of sofa and the mattress protector on the bed in the main bedroom was badly stained amongst other things Comparing this apartment with others I've stayed in over the years I'm slightly disappointed. I've marked as a 3 star and that's because of location and the amazing views. Unfortunately I can't see us returning in the future. Its a shame really with a bit of love and TLC in areas it could really be an amazing holiday. We wish the owner all the best for the future and thank them for are stay. To some I may be being picky but for us it's what makes a holiday and we want to be honest.

Great location - short walk to beaches and the town.

Lots of bars, restaurants and shops on your doorstep. The apartment has everything you’d need for a family beach holiday. Also need to mention the views from the balcony which were amazing and we enjoyed seal-spotting with our binoculars from the mezzanine snug (note that the telescope in the photos wasn’t in use - luckily we took our own bins). Recommend the sea shanty’s at the Fistral beach bar!!

This was our 3rd stay at breakers.

The apartment as everything you possibly need for your stay. The views are amazing. Everything is local,just a 5min walk to town. Love this apartment, already booked for next year!

Good start lift out of order all week of stay .

sofa on its last legs plus balcony needs some TLC . overpriced compered to others stayed in Newquay.

We all loved the property, it's location was perfect offering the most amazing views, stunning sunsets, it was everything we needed.

The only downside was the outdoor furniture, I rang Sykes upon our arrival as the furniture on the balcony was broken. I waited almost 20 mimutes to actually talk to someone on the phone. I emailed Sykes with photo's of the broken furniture. Both of these lines of communication stated that either someone from Sykes or the owner would call me back, this was on Saturday 26th May when we arrived, it is now 2nd June and we left the property yesterday, still no contact from either. This is why I only scored Sykes as 7 for recommendation to others, as I feel you aren't great at responding to issues raised. I haven't booked with you previously so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt as it maybe be a one off for you. The main reason I chose Breakers was the balcony and seating. Unfortunately the only way I could sit on the balcony was to use 2 of my own camping chairs. It would be good to discuss this with the owner. Kind regards Debbie Pollard

Great apartment and location second to none.

The apartment was clean and tidy but was disappointed that the furniture on the balcony was in disrepair and no cushions to put on the furniture that was not damaged. It does state the cushions under the sofa but none to be found. The windows on the front of the property are in need of a good clean with bird muck on the windows at both levels. I have used this apartment before and will use again but would want the knowledge the balcony area has been sorted.

Breakers was a beautiful place to stay.

The location is perfect and the views are amazing. The property was clean and very well equipped. I would definitely recommend stopping here as we had a great time

Great location

We had the most fun staying at your Appartment over the Christmas week.

What a great place. Clean, spacious and above all comfortable. We will be coming back for sure.!

This is our 2nd stay at Breakers and we were looking forward to it to which we did enjoy.

But somewhat disappointed with a few things this time our last visit we were left black binliners small milk in the fridge .dish cloth to wipe kitchen tops off .And hand wash in all bathrooms and kitchen none of these items were supplied this time some dishes were dirty to which we had to wash before using something I didn't fancy doing before my holiday had even started these should of been checked prior to us arriving .A few other things we noticed there was a damaged lampshade and cobwebs. Before we left we did all the cutlery and dishes for the next people this is not my job but did it so they didn't have too . Apart from that enjoyed the views etc .

Can’t fault anything about our stay.

The apartment was brilliant for what we needed & location was spot on. Close to fistral beach,shops pubs & restaurants. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for letting your appartement out to us.

What an amazing place, lovely and clean and what a view we had. we will deffo be back soon. We all have the blues now we are back home.

Perfect location and beautiful property that is very well stocked with everything you will need.

I’m just so jealous that it is not my home !!

This really was a fantastic place to stay with all the equipment and home comforts we could need.

The set out of the apartment was well thought out and the nook made it really special.

Lovely cozy holiday home!

! Equipped with everything you could need! We had a lovely week despite the weather in this lovely apartment ! Mezzanine was lovely the view up there was amazing and so cozy to read a book up there! Very comfortable bed ! Great parking ! We would book this apartment again ! Thankyou !

What a beautiful place!

So well-furnished, the kitchen had literally everything you could possibly want or need, and it was impeccably clean. As for the views - wow. Did not want to leave and already looking at next year. Had so many requests from friends to share details of the place too. Can’t wait to come back!

An absolute dream.

We will be back!

We absolutely love this apartment, we have stayed 3 times before and on this trip I have already booked for this year, the location is perfect and the apartment offers everything you could possibly need please don't change a thing.

Apartment has amazing views .

The room on the mezzanine was comfy and relaxing. Clean on arrival which was nice as I've been in so many in Newquay which have been left dirty. Just a few things that we noticed the inner door to the apartment seems abit stiff and makes a noise trying to close it . Also we both found the sofa very uncomfortable and low back for someone with scoliosis and spine problems and we had to sit in whicker chairs all 7 nights we were there .

A lovely clean, comfortable and spacious apartment.

Very well equipped with good quality items and appliances. The view across to the headland is spectacular and although it was a little too windy to use the balcony, that is an added bonus. We had an issue with the key to the apartment not unlocking at times but this was quickly dealt with. Very happy with our stay there and would love to return.

Stunning apartment, fully equipped with everything we needed, beautiful views from the balcony and mezzanine.

We had a lovely family holiday. Thank you!

This apartment is fantastic, very clean, has great views and we can't wait to go again.

The only reason I would say 99.9 out of 100 is because I would love to come back with my dog so will have to look elsewhere when we do. The owners of this apartment have not cut corners, even the reed diffusers are from Marks and Spencers. It is lovely to see they are supporting Cornwall with their pictures and tableware. Beautiful great views and the beach just 5 minutes away (10 when coming back up Fistral Hill as I call it). Would 100% recommend and my family and I will be back.

Wonderful apartment with amazing views of the Towan headland and sea.

Would visit again. Apartment spotless and ideal for large family. Many thanks

The en suite bathroom smelt a bit damp and musty.

The kitchen worktop lights did not work. The kitchen bin flip top lid did not work. There were no loo rolls. Otherwise everything else was fine.

Fistral & Newquay hold many memories for us.

We were SO looking forward to coming, having cancelled 3 other Newquay holidays since covid hit & some very sad family events. To say we have made more wonderful memories in such an amazing apartment is an understatement. Perfect in every way. So much has been thought through. Attention to detail is key & this apartment has everything you need to a very high standard, clean, warm, welcome pack/instructions available, stunning views, the mezzanine is an added bonus. This is the first time with Skyes & from the moment I phoned, I had confidence that everything was being dealt with from extra insurance, covid restrictions, we will be visiting again. Excellent Holiday Company, Excellent Apartment.

Great property in great location.

Fabulous view from the balcony & the master bedroom.

The apartment itself was brilliant and in a perfect location.

It had everything you needed for a great stay and the views were amazing. The location was spot on for the beaches, restaurants and for going into town. There was plenty of crockery and the appliances we used were great and loved the SMEG toaster & kettle (we didn't use the washer/dryer). Fantastic TV to watch your favorite programs - we have absolutely no complaints about that at all. We did have problems over the heating and had no heat for over 3 days, we hadn't found the handbook created by the owner as it was under the coffee table and we'd put items on top of them so didn't see them until Wednesday evening of our stay - it needs to be placed in a prominent position or at least with the lever arch folder and leaflets on the small table under the stairs. The apartment had not had a thorough clean though which considering we couldn't enter until 6pm and had to be out for 9.30am was pretty bad. We found numerous long hairs in the main bathroom, plastic tags from clothing or similar in the main bedroom and the kitchen, table mats not cleaned and the dining table was not clean especially when opened, even had crumbs in it. Found all sorts under the coffee table when we moved it to hoover and in crumbs etc between the sofa cushions which was not nice. Also, found a broken finger nail on the kitchen unit between utility pot and next pot over. Description for the single beds I think needs to state they are for children. We had an adult sleeping in one of them and the mattress was half the thickness of those on the double beds, also the slats came out very easily! The twin room only had drawers, no wardrobe. The 2nd double bedroom had a wardrobe and no drawers, so obviously you need to share between the two - not great if an adult is in the twin room. However, that did not stop us from having a great holiday, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and it was the perfect location with fantastic views. Would recommend the apartment to others, they just need to improve the cleaning to a consistent level and maybe change the description slightly. I'm sure it is probably more families staying here rather than 3 adults using a bedroom each.

Lovely apartment, perfectly located.

We stayed with our 2 young grandchildren, the lift was a great asset for pushchair and pram. We enjoyed our chill out time in the upstairs snug. Definitely will return !

I would highly recommend staying at the Breakers,the apartment was spotless with amazing views and everything was on your doorstep.

The apartment was well equipped and very tastefully furnished.

The location was perfect for our stay with everything in walking distance. The view from the balcony over the headland was the perfect spot to watch the sun setting.

Excellent accommodation.

My second visit to this ideally situated apartment

The accommodation was just perfect for us as a family of five.

The view from the balcony did not disappoint and the sunsets were stunning. We were only a few minutes walk from Fistral Beach and all its facilities plus a short walk from Newquay harbour and town centre which was so handy. The apartment had all modern home comforts and space for us all to eat together and chill. The Delonghi coffee machine was a particularly enjoyable indulgence. It was a lovely touch to offer the scones and clotted cream on arrival although would have been nice to have one each as there were not enough for the whole family. A little soap in the bathrooms just to tide guests over until the first shop is done might also be a nice touch. Could not fault our stay though. We did not want to leave and will definitely book again soon.

Absolutely fantastic apartment overlooking the sea, a large premises that would comfortably accommodate 2 small families.

We found the apartment immaculately clean and the beds of good quality. We also enjoyed the mezzanine snug room for its outlook over the headland. Upon arrival (after dark), we experienced a little difficulty accessing the building on account of the main entrance being unlit. We found ourselves using our mobile phones to light the area so that we could identify the correct key box, prior to struggling with the box access on account of the outer panel being very tight. The washer/dryer is a combined machine which whilst new, was not very good at washing or drying and, left the clothes smelling and only dry after a three and a half hour cycle. In truth we enjoyed a great week in this apartment and I would be happy to return in the summer however, when winter breaks throw the worst of a British winter at you, there is a real benefit of higher spec white goods and I believe this is something that the vendor might want to consider?

Fabulous holiday apartment, all the extras you could needs and incredible view.

Only complaint would be the check in/out times, not being able to check in until 6pm and having to checkout at 9:30am is really poor, especially when the apartment wasn't sparkling.

Excellent apartment, clean and comfy, super views

The apartment was very convenient for beach, supermarket and restaurants.

It was furnished and fitted out to a high standard, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Wifi was good. Views from most of the rooms were beautiful. Storm Alex was spectacular from the living room windows. Despite the weather on a couple of days we had a great holiday. Would highly recommend this apartment. All communication with Sykes cottages and check in/out went smoothly.

The accomodation was very comfortable, the living room furniture was very relaxing, good outdoor chairs, my only gripe was that the bed was a bit soft for my poor back.

Its a great location for exploring Cornwall, being so close to Fistral Beach is another bonus. I had a great time. Many thanks

Fantastic apartment in such a lovely location.

Views breathtaking.Easy short walk to Fistral beach and close to coastal path to explore other areas. Owner has thought of everything, we didn’t want for anything. Would highly recommend and hope to return in the future.

This was a well appointed apartment beautifully decorated and with everything we needed.

But the best thing was undoubtedly it’s location overlooking stunning scenery and everywhere within walking distance. We had unsettled and mixed weather but because the apartment was so well positioned we were able to get out and do everything we hoped.

We had an absolutely amazing holiday at Breakers.

The location could not have been better and the accommodation was fantastic. The owners thought of absolutely everything to make our stay at easy as possible. The apartment was spotless, so comfortable and spacious, everything we needed had been provided and more. Staying in such a marvellous apartment really added to our holiday especially given that you can walk to the beach, all the local restaurants and shops. We will definitely be back again soon. Thank you.
