“Excellent location and a very tidy place.”

Ideal for a small family looking to spend holiday in Cornwall.
Mrs Greet June 2019

“Comfortable accommodations with excellent access to the beach.”

The oven settings had worn off but we worked it out. Also no soap in the bathroom for hand washing so bring some with you! A very enjoyable week and we will probably be back.
Mrs Futter March 2019

“Only a small complaint,the main bedroom window has a large gap in the left hand window and needs replacing!”

Probably not a problem in the summer but was rather draughty early on in the year but didnt spoil our holiday. Second time we’ve visited this property and will visit again!
Mrs Watkiss October 2018

“Fabulous modern property.”

In a great position, Very close to the sea. Would definitely recommend. Hoping to book again for next year, we loved it that much! Just a couple of points, Could do with at least a long handled sweeping brush. And windows are very drafty. But won't put us off booking again
Mr Pitsillides August 2018

“When we arrived on Saturday the floor was extremely dusty and dirty to the point that my feet turned black within 10 minutes.”

This was the same in the toilet, it was filthy we had to clean faeces from the seat. We did not appreciate having to clean after a long journey and no vacuum cleaner. Latch on the bathroom window was broken as mentioned in a previous review and no oven gloves. The private patio area was anything but private with other people walking through it, not the coastal path walkers other guests were walking between the door and the patio table! One of the single beds was also in very poor condition and sunk in the middle it was only evident once I tried it after my daughter complained to me about it. Could have been much better there were a lot of things that let it down.

Just minor things, like the catch on the bathroom window was broken off, no oven glove which made it a bit awkward to get a hot dish out using a tea towel and no handle for the grill pan, but the cottage was lovely, spotlessly clean and would definitely return

“The bungalow was filthy, very tired and in need of a refurbishment.”

It was looking over the sea and it was nice to hear the sound of the waves crashing down every morning and also next door to a pub which was nice
Mr Day December 2017

“Having had an issue with cleanliness at these properties previously I specifically enquired before booking on availability of hoover, mop, dustpan & brush as have previously had to fully clean a neighbouring property (same group) on arrival, I had been assured the housekeeping would be improved & prior to this booking the facilities provided.”

On arrival the property was filthy, sticky floor, grit & sand all over floor, grit on one bed. (I have photos If you wish) Unsatisfactory in itself (especially as a repeat incedent) but to then find no cleaning facilities...unnacceptable. On reading the in property info it was found these items would only be available 2 times a week from ‘the shed’. On complaint through Sykes contact was made with the house keeper to deliver a hoover....24hrs later (muddy Hoover left on top of our slippers). Having 2 young children it is expected that a property is sufficiently clean to allow them to use toys along the floor in the first place, it would also not be uncommon for spillages to happen & need to be cleared up by us along the way. The property has clearly not had the floor cleaned for some time, & even though, at our own cost we went & bought mop & bucket to clean (unacceptable) I could still not get it to the level where I was comfortable allowing them bare foot. I now have 2 sets of ruined suede slippers from the dirt picked up! The table cloth also was so dirty when I wiped a dishcloth to clean it the cloth was black! I have removed it & left in the cupboard as I would not let my children eat off it. Suffice to say, it ruined our stay, so much so we left a night early not being able to face a New Year’s Eve sitting on sticky sofas. the overall general standard of the property has also significantly deteriorated from prior visits (neighbouring property) the Windows leaking. I accept these properties are basic, but hygiene level of cleanliness should not be something I have to fight for & I should not have to pack my own hoover! We will not be returning. Feedback is about the property, not the Sykes experience.

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.
