  Really well presented property in a stunning location.

  We loved the rear facing balcony at the back of the building, away from the busy front. The apartment is generally equipped to a high standard, the decor, furniture and fittings are very nicely done. We appreciated the Nespresso machine, washer/dryer and UHD tv. The bathrooms are lovely and again equipped to a high standard, we enjoyed the waterfall showers. The whole apartment was immaculately clean and thoughtfully set out. Lovely box of Cornish biscuits on arrival which was appreciated. A few minor points to feed back on, the property is listed as suitable for families and there is a cot, highchair etc indicating suitability for small children, so we were surprised at the glass tables which we didn’t feel were toddler safe. I would also concur with another comment about the pillows which we found hard and uncomfortable. The kitchen was well equipped but I felt the frying pans needed replacing, as they were quite worn and I didn’t want to use them. Also some of the children’s cutlery was badly chewed and in need of replacement. Having a child who is still crawling I’d also suggest that the balcony could have been swept and mopped. We also couldn’t get the DVD player to work which was a shame, but that could have been our incompetence rather than a technical issue!! Just a few things which we thought were below the overall very high standard, hopefully it’s helpful and constructive feedback. We would definitely recommend this lovely place to others, and will certainly hope to come back again ourselves!

  Absolutely splendid and we would recommend Perran Pearl A to everyone!

  From the booking, communication, welcome on arrival, cleanliness, facilities, parking, comfort .... everything was first class. The apartment is very new and modern - has everything you need (and not full of ornaments, vases, trinkets .... that you don't need). Very clever use of space with plenty of room to store your clothes, luggage etc. It is like a tardis and there is even a fabulous shower and a seperate full length bath. Both the sitting area and bedroom (with the most comfortable bed) had large wall mounted TVs. The kitchen is well equipped and nothing you need to bring along with you. Accessed via the bedroom is a balcony with chairs and a table and a view over the lovely countryside. By walking a few steps down the drive you then have the most glorious view of the bay. The apartment is situated on quite a steep hill - it takes approx 10 mins to reach the town. Took longer going back up the hill (depends how fit you are - we are not!). The large welcome hamper was amazing - such a nice touch & so appreciated. We devoured the cream tea on the balcony watching the sun set. We have been going to Perranporth for a number of years and this has to be the best accommodation we have ever stayed in - and we will certainly be back.

  The cleanliness was good, however we found an empty chocolate wrapper and half eaten pack of Doritos under one of the beds.

  A pair of oven gloves would be useful. On the second day of our stay I put a load of washing into the machine. The house manual had instructions for how to erect the clothes airer - I hunted high and low and could not find it. There was no washing line outside to hang the clothes on either. I phoned Sykes and asked if they could contact the housekeeper to find out where it could be found. I was told this would be dealt with on the Monday since it was a weekend. I phoned again on Monday and was told they would phone the housekeeper and that they would bring out an airer that day. It never turned up. I phoned again on Tuesday - and received a call to say the airer was in the downstairs cloakroom - which is was not. So I was told the housekeep would bring one out - it never turned up. At this point I just gave up. I had to use the tumble dryer to dry my several loads of wet washing during the week, which I was loathed to do, and would incur increased electricity costs. Some of my washing could not be tumble dried so I had to hang it on hangers all around the house. All around not a very satisfactory service from Sykes, which considering I had paid just under £2500 for a week, was very disappointing.

  A Master Class in how to present a holiday cottage!

  We had a fantastic week. By far the best Sykes cottage we have stayed in. Comfortable, clean, well stocked, modern yet classic. The cottage is even nicer than the photos show. The beds are so comfortable, really important but sometimes overlooked but not in this case. The bathrooms were beautiful, great to have two. The Wood Burner was a lovely addition, which we used near the beginning of the week when it was a little colder. We loved the snug room, which we used as a dressing room and which was also used as a study room for one of our daughters who was studying for exams. The cottage was well stocked in every way, from canned food etc in the kitchen, crockery and kitchenware, to toiletries, to soft furnishings. Nothing was overlooked. We only briefly managed to use the garden but in the warmer weather would love to sit out there with a glass of wine and a book. The Easter Egg Hunt was very thoughtful and appreciated by our daughters. We would love to come back please! Thank you for a fabulous week in your truly fabulous cottage! Best wishes from The Alldis Family and Bella the dog xx

  The property was very good and the location was fantastic with it being a short walk from Fistral.

  Very modern and good layout. Although it was disappointing to realise the property did not overlook Fistral and the balcony was in the shade overlooking car park so not private which is contrary to your website which states it has a front balcony. We did find there were not enough plug sockets in fact there was no socket near the mirror in main bedroom which meant couldn;t dry hair in front of mirror. The toilet roll holder should have been on wall not freestanding. The microwave was too small to warm dinner plates. The extractor fan in the bathroom should be linked to the light switch and not separate. There was no full length mirror in the property. But the worst thing was that upon return home we received a parking fine notice from the parking company saying we had no authority to park. This really was not a good to return home to and put a blight on the holiday. This upset us. And we had an email from the parking company acknowledging our registration and duration of stay and still they sent a parking fine!!??
