“Been here many times since 2013, it’s a lovely property but indeed of some attendance now, cooking pots are useless, knifes are blunt (these have never changed since 2013) the internet is awful, which could be helped with Wi-fi boosters and power adaptors for the TV.”

But I must admit the house in general is beautiful and homely hence why we keep coming back

“Good location for exploring Cornwall.”

Only a short drive to Eden Project, Charlestown and Mevagissey. Unfortunately the location also has disadvantages. Although in the property details there was reference to proximity of Tesco Express and Social Club, the noise from these was not the main problem. The road the property is located on is very busy from early until mid morning and again in the evening. As the main ground floor bedroom is at the front of the property the traffic noise woke us up early every morning. Although the windows are double glazed they did not cut out the traffic noise sufficiently. The appeal of the main bedroom was also affected by combination of the dark grey walls, and blinds that we were reluctant to open for privacy reasons, meaning the room was far darker than the photos in the property details. The kitchen, which is the other room at the front of the property was well equipped with a large fridge freezer and dishwasher. For some reason although the iron was in one of the kitchen cupboards the ironing board had been left in the outbuilding that housed the washing machine. This meant that the cover was damp and covered in cobwebs. The ground floor bathroom was located up a short flight of steps off the central tiled hallway. It would benefit from a bottle of hand wash. The other ground floor room was the living room at the back of the property with access onto the balcony. This was the brightest room in the property although never as bright as the property photos even on a sunny morning. The other rooms, second bedroom and wet room/shower bathroom, were located down a flight of wooden painted stairs on the lower ground floor. By way of clarification (not provided in the property details) the house is built on a slope meaning it is 2 storeys at the front but 3 storeys at the back. The bedroom was bright, being the only room not painted grey, with patio door access into the back garden under the balcony. The wet room would also benefit from hand wash. Overall we had a pleasant stay at Sea View (the view of the sea was only possible by standing on one of the balcony chairs). Although the property did not provide the level of luxury and comfort we expected.

We will investigate the issues with the property owner to establish why our service has fell short on this occasion.

If you wish to discuss or elaborate more on the issues raised, please feel free to contact the Sykes office on the details below, quoting your booking reference number and any other information that may assist us in providing the best possible outcome and customer service.

“On arrival to the apartment, we were meet with a lovely welcome basket, which was much appreciated after a long journey.”

The property was immaculately clean and had everything we could wish for and more. It is very spacious and in a central location to explore this beautiful part of Cornwall, with Charles Town and Eden Project only a 15 minute drive away. We look forward to revisiting.
Mrs Nery August 2019

“Lovely property in a good location.”

Property would benefit from a new mattress in the master bedroom and a hand held hoover, for those of us that like to tidy up during our stay. Other than that a brilliant place to stay.
Mr White August 2019

“Really nice place.”

Clean .comfortable beds. Nice shower and bath facilities. Only thing I can possibly criticise is the downstairs bedroom door is so noisy and hard to shut, sure it can be sorted easily. Happy to stay here again . Great central area to explore all of cornwall.
Mr Evans June 2019

“The location is ideal for exploring Cornwall and all it has to offer.”
Mrs Nast May 2019

“Fabulous property, love the decor and bed really comfortable which is very important as I have a bad back!”

Great base to travel all over Cornwall. Would definitely love to stay again but for longer next time! Only concern was no information on where to recycle waste and bottles- so used to doing this at home and felt guilty putting stuff in bin! Hunted all over St Austell for bottle bank and ended up bringing empties home!
Walters December 2018

“Great location for visiting the local area and loved tesco being oposite.”
Miss Burrows November 2018

“Lovely apartment, well decorated and kitted out.”

Very comfortable for 2 of us, although the lounge might be a bit small if 4 adults are staying. Ideally located to travel almost anywhere in Cornwall. We had a great week!
Mrs Brown September 2018

“We had a lovely week, would recommend the house and would definitely stay there again.”
Mr Clacher August 2018

“The apartment was really well presented and had everything that we needed but must say we were out more than we were in.”

The wet room was really good and our 3 year old lad wanted a shower more than the bath and that is a first, we couldn’t get him out once in. The only negative inside the property was the tv, dvd and sky remote controls were all synced together and when you used the sky remote the dvd opened. Overall a fabulous holiday in a great location
Mrs Pickering July 2018

“What a lovely property, quirky but spacious.”

The owner left beautiful flowers, bubbly and cake as a nice welcome. A very well placed property, we had a lovely holiday thank you.
Mrs Wordsworth June 2018

“It should be made clear that there is a mobility problem.”

The stairs have no rails and the stairs themselves are quite slippy. Access to both bathrooms are up steps and once again no rails.
Mr Monro June 2018

“You need to revisit your website design as there is no scale presented for the following inputs: Accuracy of the listing Cleanliness Comfort Facilities Using Opera 53.”

0.2907.99 on Windows 10 As a result we've guessed what the scale should be and have tried to indicate that it met expectations On arrival at the cottage we were met with a bottle of prosecco, a chocolate cake and fresh cut flowers. These were a nice touch however we felt that the money could have been better spent on the following: Spare toilet roll Spare bin bags Dish washing liquid More than three dish washer tablets A dustpan and brush These would have made the week in the accommodation easier.
Mrs Reid May 2018

“It needs to be made aware that there are a flight of stairs leading to the wet room and one of the bedrooms.”

Also there some steps leading to the other bathroom. This information would useful for the disabled holiday maker or the less agile.
Miss Beazer March 2018

“The photos were slightly misleading as the rooms were smaller than they looked on your site.”

The property

Sea View is one of two luxurious apartments with enticing sea views located within a 5 minute drive of the fabulous Cornish Riviera coastline.

This ground floor apartment for couples and small families is arranged over two levels of a beautifully restored Victorian House.

Designed for style-conscious guests, the spacious proportions and elegant interiors are a triumph.

You will feel cosseted here.

Behind the roadside exterior, the mood is sophisticated with solid oak floors, art memorabilia and good design in fittings and furniture.

French doors lead from the sitting room to a balcony with far-reaching views across roof tops to the broad sweep of sea at St Austell Bay, which is a string of golden beaches, stunning coast path and charming fishing villages.

Cook in the smart and well equipped kitchen, eat together at a large wooden table or on the balcony on warm days.

Enjoy a long stress-busting soak in bathroom with its deep claw-foot bath or an invigorating rain shower in the wet room.

There are two superb bedrooms with comfortable mattresses topped with crisp cotton sheets.

Outside is a private, sun-filled lawned garden which children will love to explore while parents keep a watchful eye from the relaxing seating area.

St Austell is a convenient base and you will not be short of things to do.

The sandy beach and coastal golf course at Porthpean and the historic port of Charlestown, renowned for its tall ships and for the filming of the BBC's Poldark series, are a 5 minute drive.

The world famous Eden Project with its rain forest biomes is a 10 minute drive and the charming fishing village of Mevagissey, Pentewen Beach and famous Lost Gardens of Heligan are a 15 minute drive.

A little farther afield is the maritime town of Fowey with independent shops and harbour front restaurants and pubs.

For wet weather family fun, head to St Austell’s bowling alley, big screen cinema or Kidzworld indoor play centre.

There is off-road parking for one car and you will find cake, flowers and wine on arrival as well as guides, menus and maps to help you plan an unforgettable break.

The first floor apartment, Bay View, accommodates two people and is also available to book.

About the location

ST. AUSTELL

Charlestown 2 miles; Carlyon Bay 3 miles; Mevagissey 6 miles; Fowey 8 miles.

The old market town of St. Austell lies just a few miles from the south coast, and is famous for its China Clay mining history. Today, home to numerous beaches and sub tropical gardens, it is a popular place for tourists, and families, with plenty to see and do. Get back to nature with the wonderful Lost Gardens of Heligan and the ever-popular Eden Project, perfect for a family day out, or discover the delights of Caerhays Castle and Garden, flourishing in the maritime climate. Home to the St. Austell Brewery, this is the perfect place to relax and unwind, while sampling the delights of the local beer, after a tour of the Victorian brewery, and for those who love the surf and sand, St. Austell has plenty of both to choose from. Visit the beautiful sandy beach at Porthpean, or spend time at Carlyon Bay with its ever-popular shingle beach, a favourite for sun worshippers, but if you prefer a dip in the water, Polkerris is the place for you. Situated in a safe cove, it is renowned for variety of watersports. Whether it’s sailing, windsurfing or swimming you're looking for, Polkerris Beach has it all. Charlestown is a pretty, historical port just two miles away, famous for its collection of tall ships riding at anchor in the harbour, and is well worthy of a visit whilst staying in St. Austell. A short drive will take you to fashionable Fowey or the fishing port of Mevagissey, and with lots to do, and something to keep the whole family entertained, St. Austell is a great year round location.
