    “The fire alarm in the entire block where the flat is situated had a fault so went off at 3AM one night and 2AM two nights later.”

    Not ideal. Under the flat there is a nightclub which stays open until 4AM. The music can be clearly heard within the flat even when wearing ear plugs. The street below gets very noisy at kicking out time. There is a clock on the town hall directly opposite the single glazed bedroom windows which loudly chimes the hour (eleven chimes for eleven PM etc) every hour. All of this meant it was impossible to get any sleep in the flat. Which is such a shame, as the flat itself was clean, ...

    Not ideal. Under the flat there is a nightclub which stays open until 4AM. The music can be clearly heard within the flat even when wearing ear plugs. The street below gets very noisy at kicking out time. There is a clock on the town hall directly opposite the single glazed bedroom windows which loudly chimes the hour (eleven chimes for eleven PM etc) every hour. All of this meant it was impossible to get any sleep in the flat. Which is such a shame, as the flat itself was clean, well kept, included lots of thoughtful touches and is situated in a very charming Cornish town. Plus the instructions and communication from Sykes Cottages has been faultless. I honestly can’t see how it is considered viable as a holiday rental. I guess I was unlucky with the faulty alarm and perhaps someone might rent it out who wants to commit to the Helston nightclub scene. But even then, they’d be woken up every hour by the chimes on the town clock. I can only assume the flat doesn’t get any repeat customers.

The property

This well-presented, first-floor apartment rests in the town centre of Helston, a bustling town serving as a gateway to the Lizard Peninsula.

This spacious apartment is perfect for couples or a small family wishing to experience Cornwall's charm because it has a modern finish throughout.

Enter the open-concept living area after a day of touring, where you may take over the kitchen or relax on the couch and watch TV on the Smart TV.

Enter the bathroom, which is well furnished and offers a bath and a shower so you may choose how to freshen up.

When it gets dark, retire to the double bedroom to catch up on sleep; with a little one sleeping in the single bedroom.

The popular 15th-century Blue Anchor Inn, which has its own skittle alley, live music, and an on-site brewery where you can sample local brews, is just one of the excellent amenities that Helston has to offer.

Take a quick journey to Porthleven if you want to spend the day on the beach.

There, you may explore the beach and enjoy activities like sunbathing, paddling, or fishing.

Continue your journey to Falmouth, a bustling city with lots to see and do and known for being home to the National Maritime Museum, Pendennis Castle, and Swanpool Beach.

The Porthleven Beach Cliffs offer beautiful trails for anyone who want to get some exercise, and the Lizard Heritage Coast is absolutely stunning.

All year long, The Stannary is a great place to take a rest in Cornwall.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
