  "We had a really fantastic holiday in Waves.

  The apartment was everything we expected, and then some, and the views were simply outstanding! The apartment was spotless when we arrived, very well equipped and it had absolutely everything we could possibly have wanted for our holiday. The train into St Ives and St Erth is a must and it is so convenient not having to struggle to find parking. I am sure we did the same things as many of your other guests, trips to St Mawes, Mevagissey, Portreath, Porthcurno etc etc. The Eden project was stunning and we especially liked the Mini golf at Porthminster . Restaurant-wise we tried the Porthminster Beach Café, Waves (how appropriate) and The Seafood Café, all which we thoroughly enjoyed. Beck's fish and chips are also a must (if only they opened on a Monday!). We enjoyed ourselves so much at Waves we asked to extend our stay by four days and this was dealt with very swiftly by your team and we were delighted to be able to stay on. Our whole experience has been a joy, we hope to come and stay at Waves again later on this year." J. Jackson

  "I think we were the first guests at Pentreath and I have to compliment both yourselves and the owners for making this a great base for our Easter holiday.

  The cleaning was exceptional and the property beautifully prepared for our arrival, all the furnishing has been carefully thought out by the owner and provides a lovely holiday feel. We entertained our grandchildren for some of the time so the games and toys for indoor and outdoor use were appreciated. It was a pleasure to return to the property after long days out exploring the area. We would strongly recommend Paradise Park, managing to amuse the kids for over 5 hours, the beach is of course just a short walk away from Pentreath so that provided daily free entertainment. We had a takeaway from Becks, had a lovely brunch at Godrevy Cafe with a refreshing walk on the beach afterwards, what stunning views to Godrevy Lighthouse. Another trip to recommend was to the Seal Sanctuary at Gweek, again this kept the kids amused for a long time - educational as well! All in all, it was great holiday and Pentreath suited us as an ideal base to look around the area, loved the rear garden, quite a sun trap great for a bbq." A. Straw

  "We had a fantastic holiday and although we have been to Cornwall many times, the little extras Carbis Bay Holidays provided, made it a bit more special!

  It was a very long journey and to be welcomed with a cream tea was a lovely surprise. The house was amazing and very clean, and everything you could possibly need was provided. Our favourite walk was to pick up fish and chips at St Ives harbour, then walk through the back streets until we came to the little church perched on top of The Island. It’s such a breathtaking place to sit and have a picnic, we really didn’t want to leave. We loved the little shops in the High Street especially the one that sells the most amazing curry sauces and pickles. The shopkeepers were extremely friendly and urged us to think about coming back for the New Year. (Something we hadn’t considered before). This is the first time in many years that everyone in the family wanted to stay longer. The house had a lovely feel to it and is very well placed near the train station and for walking to the shops. We really can’t wait to come back and would definitely recommend ‘Carbis Bay Holidays’ and ‘Pentreath’." N. Fettah

  What an amazing place!

  This is our 25th Wedding Anniversary Celebration break for just the two of us and it could not have been more perfect!! This apartment is absolutely beautiful with the most special view from the private decking. Our daily walks along the beach and paddling in the cool crystal clear seawater was idyllic. We recommend: • The walk to St Ives and back. • Train journey to St Ives or St Erth and onto Penzance for shops. • Carbis Bay Hotel (delicious crab risotto – beach restaurant). • Breakfast bagels in St Ives harbour • Porthminster Beach – saw the seals swimming. • Portggwidden Beach Café Bar – lovely on the beach • The Loft Restaurant – seafood chowder can recommend • The Host restaurant, St Ives • Pednolva Hotel (revisited after 18 years) Big thank you to all people who rent this apartment! People who look after this apartment and look after the décor and attention to detail – so clean!! Thank you all xx

  Have been using Sykes for a good couple of years now and have recommended them to many people.

  Although the house was in a great location and was modern and well equipped, it seemed like it was a bit unloved the carpets had stains on and the bathroom cabinet and towel racks were rusted the toilet also smelt and was brown like it needed bleaching . The curtains in the front bedroom were hanging by threads to the rail so we left them shut rather than open and closing each day. The fridge wasn’t very good either and the food I bought with us for breakfast and lunches went in the bin by Tuesday along with the dogs food. The cleaning wasn’t great down stairs either the kitchen floor had crumbs on it and the floors looked like they needed mopping ( I would have done this myself but there was no mop ). The down stairs toilet hadn’t been flushed either. All in all very disappointing after the beautiful property we stayed in last year we thought it would be of the same standard. I would be reluctant to book this property again.
