“Great unique apartment with wonderful views”

- Mrs Ferris, September 2020
“Was a little off put by the fact the only lift to the flat was not working we managed the stairs but could imagine people with mobility issues would have and could struggle with the stairs.”

is a wonderful place very quiet and peaceful, well fitted out just what you need to unwind and relax great place to spend our 10th wedding anniversary.

- Mr Redfern, September 2020
“Had trouble accessing apartment.”

Finally someone had to come from Plymouth with a key. Also the lift was out of order and we had to carry all our stuff up 3 flights of stairs. We are in our 70's and this was a serious problem. In the end we left on the Thursday due to this problem. The apartment itself was fine , but the problems outweighed the benefits and spoiled our holiday. Very disappointing.

- Mr Civil, August 2020

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Cannon's Folly. We are sorry to hear you had trouble accessing the property, having spoken with the owner she has confirmed that there was not an issue with the key safe or a missing key and once she had arranged for her maintenance man to visit he was able to show you how the key safe worked and there was no further problem. Unfortunatley the lift was out of order for your visit, the owner was not aware of this and had she been notified at the time she would have been able to have this looked at, it has now been confirmed that the lift has since been fixed. Despite the points raised we are pleased to hear you enjoyed the apartment. Owner relations
“It was amazing.”

Had no problems or complaints. Beautiful views and everyone around were really welcoming and nice.

- Miss Tayyeb, July 2020
“We had an amazing break in a wonderful, unusual place.”

The apartment was exactly as described, so we were not disappointed. Whilst we were there (and just before we left) we had a couple of weather warnings for strong winds and rain, Sykes kept us informed at all times. They were easy to contact and always available and answered all our questions very quickly. I would recommend without hesitation

“When we arrived we could not gain access to the property because there was a fault with the front door.”

We telephoned your office and spoke to two people who sounded uninterested and the second one was rather sarcastic. He or she did act on the problem and a locksmith was sent out, but we expected a much better and more empathetic response to what was a stressful situation. It was difficult to get through to speak to a person as well - on all the occasions we rang. We were offered no apology at any stage and felt we were being inconvenient. In fact we sorted the problem out ourselves, as a resident was able to access the caretaker's cupboard of spare keys and let us in (prior to the locksmith being called). After we had gained access, we did try to get through to inform you, but we had hold for a long time and gave up. The locksmith's solution was a stop gap, but held for the week. On another occasion, before we arrived at the property, we rung the office to request a late check out on our final day. A message was left on my phone and, again, the tone of the person who left the message sounded sarcastic. I ignored this at the time, but when it happened again later I remembered it, so I am mentioning it now. I'm not sure 'Helpful' Holidays really lived up to its name this time.

- Mr Fay, July 2019

About the location

KINGSAND

Plymouth 24 miles.

The twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, with narrow streets winding between pastel-coloured cottages, lie on the Rame Peninsula just 5 miles from Plymouth, but because the high ground of Mount Edgcumbe lies between, you are not aware of being near a large city. Instead, you can relax in the peace and quiet of village life, and look out over Plymouth Sound which offers calm waters ideal for watersports, fishing and bathing. Take a walk south along the coastal path to Penlee Point for the glorious views of Rame Head, towering above the sea, or, a walk north along the coast will take you to Mount Edgcumbe Park with fabulous views of Plymouth Sound. From Cawsand, take a ferry trip to Plymouth and visit the Aquarium, the historic Barbican or enjoy a spot of retail therapy. Just a mile west of Kingsand lies Whitsand Bay, with 4 miles of sandy beach and dramatic cliffs. You really are spoilt for choice in this ‘secret hideaway’.
