What guests are saying
We have just returned from our stay at Garras and the property itself was great in size for the 6 adults in the booking and was lovely and clean, however the the position of the property is more suited to families with children and we wish we had known this as there is a grass area directly in front of the property where teenagers play football into the evening constantly bouncing the balls off of the windows and outside tables which became unusable .
The parents did not want to know. There were also no fans in the property and the upstairs bedrooms were very warm and you cannot open the doors at night to let in air as the blinds are attached to them so no privacy as no curtains. Our other problem was parking we were 2 days without as others had parked in our allocated spaces. I appreciate this is not the home owners fault but it spoilt our stay having to park down in town and walk up hill. It is a shame our stay was not the peaceful break we expected and have had at other places in Porthtowan. Perhaps some sort of decking railing may stop some of the footballs.
Great stay in Mid June for full family!
Having seen previous reviews I was slightly concerned, however the accomodation was fantastic. Everything was clean (including the oven), bedding and towels were all clean and comfortable. The hot tub and surrounding area was good, brambles had been cut back and new strawberries were coming through. If I was being picky the hot tub isn't under cover but with no rain it wasn't an issue. The sofas are designed to be sunken but again, that's a personal preference but the table chairs were super comfortable. The outdoor benches and seats upstairs had slight damage but still usable. Looking at other properties next door etc they were the same so must just be the furniture. Yes the accomodation itself isn't perfect, there's some markings and wear and tear, but what do you really expect? The location is fantastic, short walk down to the beach and local pubs. Also central to everywhere else as well. Final cherry on the top was the welcome basket, lovely touch! The only real improvement would be to have utensils to suit cooking for 8 people, personally I brought my own big pan, ninja and frying pan as I always do when I go to any self catering accomodation. Overall, brilliant stay and looking to book again for next year.
We are very dissapointed about your service.
We needed some help during our holiday and you`ve never responded to our request. You show a very nice house online and the sofa is old and sat through, there´s nowhere to sit comfortably for an elderly person ( we´ve spent 2 weeks!!!), no big pot to cook for 8 people,no big teapot, we had to clean cuttlery, draw and other cooking items before use,the oven was and is dirty (it´s not our buisness to clean other people´s dirt) and the outside area around the hot top wasn´t well looked after(plants need to be cut and the floor cleand- all the old leaves...)
