What our customers say about their holidays

  We paid £787 for 3 nights and expected more for our money.

  The shower room was tiny, the sink was too small for my husband to shave in. The extractor fan ran continually which was very noisy and disrupted our sleep. There was visible mould on the walls in the shower room. The room obviously needs an outside window. The bedroom was dark and depressing and we spent as little time in it as possible. The window in the bedroom opened into the entrance porch and was not an outside window (this was not accurately described in the property details), we were therefore unable to get any fresh air into the bedroom. The bedroom had visible mould growing on the walls and smelt of mildew. the owners were trying to address the problem by placing a dehumidifier in the bedroom which we were asked to keep on at all times apart from at night. The lounge/kitchen was a good size and well stocked, however the kitchen cupboards all smelt of mildew. The whole property was very clean and in a great location. We are frequent travellers and have stayed in many holiday cottages and certainly feel short changed on this one. This is the first time we have ever given negative feedback. We feel a partial refund is appropriate. We felt we paid far too much at £787 for 3 nights.

  Myself, husband and dog had a such a great week at Fistral Drift.

  Loved the communication from Jane & Michelle via email & what's app with all the info we needed to access the property and about the surrounding area etc. We parked in the Council car park 5 minutes walk from the property and Jane paid for our weekly Rover permit which was fantastic, permit can be used across other certain car parks but we didn't use our car the whole stay. Garden was lovely, our dog spent most of his time lazing out there & we enjoyed the views across to Fistral Beach from the bench seat! Location was great for us, 10 minute walk to Fistral Beach & coastal path or 10 minutes in the other direction to shops, pubs etc. They have thought of everything in the property, firstly a fabulous welcome pack on arrival which included tea bags, coffee pods, cider, biscuits, chocolate & even dog treats! Also milk in the fridge for us, hand washes, kitchen really well equipped (stayed in many properties where its pretty basic) and the bathroom is lovely with an amazing shower! Honestly they have literally thought of everything at Fistral Drift & I could go on & on so finally will just say I would recommend it to anyone.

  This cottage is perfect, the outside seating area is pure tranquility especially in the morning listening to the birds.

  The kitchen and lounge area is spacious and extremely welcoming, clean and tidy. On arrival there was a welcome gift of Red Wine and speciality chocolates. The kitchen area was clean and even had tea, coffee etc provided for which we didn’t expect. Tom and Mary had sent us a welcoming text and a contact number if we needed anything at all. The beach is about a 15 minute walk away and is absolutely stunning especially at sunset, I would advise to walk down rather than driving down as the car parks get full very quickly. The local pub The Albion Arms are very friendly, recently they have changed to ordering via the App system which failed on the first night and left people waiting for over an hour, hopefully they have it sorted now. Overall the apartment is in a good location and is perfect for couples to escape to the quite village of Crantock. I would definitely recommend to friends and family and I would 100% stay there again.

  Very clean and comfortable.

  Parking tight but close to property and off the road. Quiet but well positioned for bus to Newquay, beach, local shop and pubs. Sufficient equipment for simple meal preparation and good sharp knives. I would have preferred carpet protector or no carpet in front of cooker, sink etc as, although not usually clumsy, I was nervous of spilling or splashing when cooking so used back burners as much as possible. Useful to have full cooker. So well cleaned, it took a while for burners to burn properly! Good to have TV in both rooms, but I had not checked if there was a hairdryer, and wrongly assumed there would be. There is no outside space for sitting, however, there are seats around the village and the beach is close enough to walk to for a short time.

  The property was nicely decorated but lacked natural light especially the bedroom.

  You could not tell if it was day or night in the bedroom. All rooms needed lights on whatever time of day. Due lack of natural light & ventilation the property was damp. All our clothes felt damp, the bedding felt damp. When trying to dry towels & lycra swimwear in the garden, they were still damp after 2 days of warm & sunny weather. We like to self cater, but as the property was so depressing we either ate out or picnicked to avoid returning to the property. The photographs of the outside were very inaccurate & out of date. The property we stayed in was not pictured & was at the side in what seemed to be a separate building with a plastic corrugated roof adjoining the main property in the photograph which made the bedroom even darker.
