“Our stay at Sea Spray- met with lots of cobwebs like an early Halloween house.”

Dusty/dirty windowsills, lots of flys inside the property. Bath tiles covered in mould, had to buy cleaners to spray and clean it all, ironically spraying mould and wiping off takes literally a few minutes! Ceiling in bathroom had recently been pained, as paint splodges in bath, which were still wet! Luckily only two people staying, over half the towels had either brown marks or what looked like mould engrained into them. No bread knife and a general lack of utensils compared to next door ...

“Excellent place to stay.”

All home comforts provided and lovely quiet area. You can hear the sea all day long the property is that close! So peaceful and relaxing.

“Our third visit, great location and well equiped comfortable bungalow.”

Little package with dishwasher tablets/sugar/coffee etc was useful to get started before going shopping.

“Had a great few weeks again in this beautiful location with friends and family.”

Weather was good and we visited all our favourite places.

“This was our second visit to Sea Spray (first in July 2021).”

Whilst the location is great (if you are ok with the train line) and the views are amazing, the cottage needs some serious TLC and investment. We reported the broken beds in 2021 - these were still in place, with 3 out of 4 being unusable until the very lovely maintenance man fixed two of them. This was also reported by previous occupants this season. The TV required retuning every day; Wi-Fi was inconsistent; clothes airer only had 3 legs so we had to use it upside down; coffee machine was missing the water reservoir; patio door no longer locks and whilst an attempt has been made to secure it with bolts the other side this was not secure. The fridge is just not big enough for the number of potential occupants. It's such a shame as we loved this property so much in 2021 hence wanting to return this year. It would be great to see some investment and TLC as this really is a hidden gem of a holiday location.

- Jo, July 2023

Thank you for your comments, your feedback really is appreciated. We are happy to let you know that all beds and mattresses have since been replaced and all maintenance issues are being resolved. Property Owner

“A lovely cottage, unfortunately the windows hadn’t been cleaned for a long time, 2 of the bed bases were sagging so much the beds weren’t fit for sleeping on, part of the coffee machine was missing, and a leg had broken off the clothes rack.”

“Could find anything wrong with sea spray.”

we have stopped here a few times going back over ten years and is a good base to explore cornwall from.

Laura June 2023

“We stay at Seaspray every year for our sons birthday, to visit family that live in Marazion.”

It is a seaside cottage and exactly as it is decribed. It is clean, well supplied with bedding, towels etc. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we could need. The shower and bath which is combined provides plenty of hot water. Plenty of very easy parking on the doorstep of the cottages. Excellent location for us to visit and acces local areas whether that be restaurants, beaches, tourist attractions as well as a choice of supermarkets just up the road. We will be back again in 2024.

- Laura, June 2023
Simon April 2023

“Have been staying at Sea Spray for over 13 years.”

Although we love the accommodation it really does need an overhaul. New mattresses are required as they are either the original or the cheapest ones ever. Dining table chairs are sagging and cutlery is mismatched with many years of different styles making up a set. Would be good to see bathroom updated (again original) and better WiFi (slow and drops out regularly).

“Had a lovely few days at seaspray.”

Very relaxing with beautiful surroundings. Can't wait to come back in the summer.

- Gareth, December 2022
Don September 2022

“Clean, comfortable and well presented living area.”

Well equipped with good quality linen and, if you are happy with trains running close by, it is well positioned near the beach and coastal path. My main criticism relates to the inadequate size of the bedrooms. This is a nice size accommodation for a small family but cramming double beds into single size bedrooms is not acceptable. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay at Sea Spray and would be happy to return in the future.

- Don, September 2022
Katherine August 2022

“The bed base in the twin room is broken so you slide off the bed constantly.”

. please replace the base.. Patio door won't lock from the outside as the key will not turn to lock it which is a pain.. sofa very hard and not very comfortable to relax on in the evenings.. Otherwise location great for kids..

“Lovely chalet, very well equipped in the kitchen, good situation very near beach.”

Surprised there was no recycling facilities on site though.

- Susan, July 2022
Rachel July 2022

“Very nice property -great location by the beach but with an 18 month old the trains coming through at 5 were not great - it was quite noisy.”

Also 2 toilet rolls and 3 dishwasher tablets wasn't very generous. However the weather was great and we had a nice time.

- Rachel, July 2022
Laura June 2022

“We love Seaspray!”

This is our 2nd stay, great location we don't really notice the trains but can see how that could be a problem for others so check that out before booking, cottage as everything you could hope for from a seaside property, regarding previous reviews the fridge freezer was replaced while we were there. Owner provides amazing customer support. We will no doubt book again x

“Location is superb this was our second stay at Sea Soray, however we mentioned some items first time which we didn’t feel were up to standard and the items mentioned had not been repaired.”

Cooker hood rusty and filthy Fridge freezer far too small for a seven person cottage Broken Bathroom toilet holder Uncomfortable beds need to be upgraded This time we had to call out a plumber as the toilet was broken on the day we arrived

- Margaret, May 2022

Many thanks for your feedback following your stay at Sea Spray. We have discussed the points you mention with the property owner who will endeavor to action the issues mentioned. Property Owner
Allison May 2022

“A great place to stay with the beach on your doorstep , Shops just up the road Tesco,Argos and more , Very lovely lady that runs these bungalows , Have been twice and will be back soon.”

Lots to do in the area. Pub on doorstep food is only twice a week could be better .

- Allison, May 2022
David May 2022

“Other than the fact that the toilet cistern and the washing machine were very noisy, everything was just perfect.”

If these two niggles were fixed, we would have given 'Sea Spray' top marks.

- David, May 2022
David March 2022

“Great weeks stay at the sea spray!”

Perfect location. Highly recommend anyone to stay there. Don’t think you could beat it right on the beach and a great base to explore the local area. Accommodation was clean and the owner was very helpful with our needs and responded very quickly. Only negative is the flushing system in the toilet might need replacing soon as it’s getting loud when you flush. Will certainly be booking for next year!

- David, March 2022
Sue October 2021

“We think the fridge/ freezer was far too small and the property could have done with couple more things to make it better.”

There was no cheese grater or a jug of any kind which would have been useful. Apart from that we were really pleased with the property and if we we're in Cornwall again would stay there again. It did help that we were very lucky with the weather the week we were there. I would recommend this property.

- Sue, October 2021
Margaret September 2021

“A generously sized kitchen lounge diner with patio doors looking over mounts bay and St Michael's mount.”

There is a plentiful supply of hot water with an excellent shower in the good sized bathroom. It is evident that there has been money spent in the recent past but there are some shortfalls in the kitchen area. In particular, the fridge would seem to be the original built in unit, which is very small and inadequate for a six person holiday visit. The freezer compartment door does not close properly which means the freezer compartment frosts up rapidly. There is plenty of room to put in a modern stacking fridge freezer at the end of the work surface. The cooker hood is very dilapidated with the cover over the light broken and hanging down and the casing of the unit is covered in brown marks! Of the three bedrooms the largest which should be the master is overcrowded with a double and an extra single bed. There is another small bedroom with a double bed up against the wall. The only bedroom with access to both sides of a double bed is small and awkwardly shaped with six sides making it very cramped. We feel that the sleeping arrangements would be much more convenient if the single bed was removed. Notwithstanding these criticisms we enjoyed our stay especially as there is a real ale pub 100 yards away.

“Had another great week in a great location.”

Cottage is a great base to explore the surrounding area. Can't wait to return next year.

- Gareth, August 2021
Kelly August 2021

“Sea Spray holiday cottage is starting to get a little tired and in need of an update, such as a broken toilet seat, broken toilet roll holder, damaged extractor fan, rusty microwave and very soft mattresses.”

That said the property was clean and in a superb location, which did make up for it's faults. With a little investment this could be a first class property.

- Kelly, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback, which we have passed to the owner to ensure that all of the points raised are addressed. We are pleased that despite these issues you enjoyed your visit to Sea Spray. Property Owner

“Had a great week.”

Lovely cottage in great location. Would recommend to anyone.

Nicola May 2021

“Have stayed at location previously, but in a different bunaglow.”

Accomodation was clean and comfortable, and it was nice to find milk and tea/coffee provided on arrival. I received a text message towards the end of holiday to say that should have received email with details of how to leave property on departure. As I was on holiday, I had no access to email! Perhaps agents should send departure details with arrival details, or leave them at property?

“We were really pleased with the property and how well it is equipped In a lovely location”

Michelle September 2020

“We chose this accommodation as an elderly member of our family came on holiday with us and it was perfect.”

All on one level with no steps or hills to get to the property. Plenty of space and everything you need for a self catering holiday. A nice outdoor area backing onto the sea. The coastal path was accessible by a garden wall and slope or a two minute walk for those less physically able. There is a pub restaurant two minutes away and a shop in Long Rock Village 15 minutes walk. It is perfect for those wanting to avoid the crowds but still have easy access to visit other places in the area. Highly recommended.

- Michelle, September 2020
Katherine August 2020

“The accommodation did not appear clean on arrival.”

Sadly the toilet smelt like a public urinal and it was very off putting. Also if you moved the bed or table of sofa then the dirt and dust underneath was appalling. Change your cleaners! In this current climate this level of cleanliness Is just not acceptable! The location however is unbeatable.

- Katherine, August 2020

“Great location and lovely place to stay to explore Cornwall.”

Would recommend to anyone.

Harry October 2019

“Fab house very comfortable and superb location right on the beach opposite St Michael's Mount.”

Only negative (unless you are a trainspotter) is the adjacent railway line but the trains are no more frequent than about once every 10 minutes and don't run through the night. Already planning a return visit.

- Harry, October 2019

“It was fantastic place, the beach was practicaly your back garden, amazing views and perfect location to everything!”

- Steph, June 2019
Simon April 2019

“Good to see after 10 years of consecutive visits some of the furniture has been updated and flooring and some soft decorations have been replaced.”

Still needs investment in the bathroom (which is tired) and all window frames require overhaul/ repairs. Gardens are kept immaculate however general cleanliness of accomodation was not great. This is a recurring problem year after year. Kitchen utensils are adequate albeit I'd recommend you bring your own frying pan as the one provided is cheap (like a child's toy kitchen type). No bin in the kitchen and a broken clothes airer also add to this list of inadequacies The unique and special location of the accomodation and the ability to book several holiday homes on one site are the reasons we have put up with the issues described above so hopefully next year we will see further improvements that will ensure my family's comtinued custom

“Such a stunning location.”

Beautiful spacious accommodation with all amenities you need. Will definitely be returning again soon.

Stanley October 2018

“Having seen other feedback was concerned about cleanliness but on arrival found the standard was good .”

One annoying problem was the toilet seat hinge assembly is worn and appears insecure a replacement would be good . Overall a good place to stay .

- Stanley, October 2018
Gary September 2018

“I was a quite concerned after I read some of the reviews on line about the cleanliness of the cottage but when we arrived the cottage was very clean and in very good condition, it is in an amazing location and we had a great holiday , would definitely stay here again.”

- Gary, September 2018
Peter August 2018

“The cottage was in a great location, problem was the cleaning that had been done or the lack of before we arrived, cob webs that looked liked they had been there for weeks if not months in the bathroom, all windows sills where dirty and had varous ammounts of cobwebs, flaking ceiling paint in the bathroom, floors that had not seem a brush never mind a vac for weeks, cracked dusty and dirty skirting boards, sand in the drawers but worst of all the over powering smell of damp and mould in the bedrooms, in the middle bedroom a large black mould patch in the corner on the ceiling, beds felt damp and uncomfortable.”

I have no problem with Sykes, just the cottage was a let down when you have to spend most of your first day cleaning, after a long drive.

- Peter, August 2018
Gareth August 2018

Gary July 2018

“We enjoyed this holiday immensely as the location was excellent and the activities for my 3 sons were very nearby.”

We didn't realise the railway track was so close to the bungalow and run quite frequently especially throughout the week but this did not affect our holiday in the slightest but may affect familys with younger children who could be woken up by this.i would highly recommend this to other people and we will definitely be coming back next year! ps.the weather was gorgeous which makes all the difference :) .

Sarah June 2018

“The property we stayed at is in a fantastic location and has great parking for two cars.”

Booking was easy and clear. We were really close to the beach and the kids loved being able to walk there. However, the lack of cleanliness was a massive let down. We had an ant problem on the first two days. I contacted the phone number provided and they told me to just use the spray under the sink (indicating they knew it was a problem). We had a 3 year old and an 18 month old with us, so using spray was not an acceptable solution. Instead we ended up buying our own traps. I am not surprised we had ants because the floors were quite frankly disgusting. I had to ask them for a hoover because it clearly hadn’t been done and we bought floor cleaner to clean all the floors. Within 10 minutes of arriving our feet were black and covered in bits. In addition, the bathroom was horrendous and we cleaned it all ourselves. We do not have overly high standards, but it felt like it hasn’t even been cleaned from the last visitors, which is gross and unacceptable. On our first day we had no supplies such as dishwasher tablets, wash sponges etc so we ended up buying them as we thought they were supplied. Low and behold day 2 they arrived, a little late. The beds were so lumpy and uncomfortable and everything about this place is cheap. The windows and doors are simply disgusting and covered in cobwebs - you feel dirty opening them. the front door doesn’t open easily so if ever there was a fire it would be a hazard. All in all we enjoyed the holiday but we would never stay in this property again and I would recommend you don’t either unless you like coming on holiday to clean and fight off ants!

Nabhajit March 2018

“The property was good and clean.”

No heating in the bathroom. It was too cold, water logging at the shower. In sufficient tissue papers. One roll of kitchen tissue would have made your kitchen perfect.

The property

Sheltered from Atlantic breezes by the sea wall, this small private development of purpose built holiday bungalows lies just steps away from golden sands and white tipped waves.

Set around the site of Marazion's former railway sidings and the little granite stone station which has now been sympathetically converted. Ever popular with water sports enthusiasts, windsurfers, kite surfers and dinghies can be found skimming over the waves throughout the year.

When the tide is out, the historic island castle of St Michael's Mount can be accessed by an ancient cobbled causeway well trodden by Pilgrims over the centuries.

A vast tract of inland marshland frequented by rare species of migrating birds attracts bird watchers from all over the country.

Time can be spent browsing in galleries and antique shops, or taking refreshments in the tea rooms, cafes and pubs which can be found lining the narrow streets of this charismatic coastal village. Returning to your bungalow after a day of sun and sea you are able to relax in the uncluttered harmony of open design living.

When reclining on comfy leather sofas, sitting around the table playing board games or preparing a meal in the sleek modern kitchen, the family can fully appreciate each others company.

Nicely furnished bedrooms, clean white bathrooms and full central heating add to the appeal whatever the season.

All bungalows have their own patio and the attractively landscaped grounds incorporate designated parking bays in front of each property with 2 spaces.

When you are ready to explore the surrounding area you will find that Penzance, Land's End and St Ives are all just a convenient drive away.
