What our customers say about their holidays

  This wonderful apartment was just perfect for our family holiday to Porthtowan.

  We wanted to be close to a beach but also have amenities around us too. The apartment was beautifully clean and the attention to detail was absolutely amazing. The little extras, like dog blankets, toys for the dogs, scones and clotted cream on arrival, souvenir jam jars to take home. The list goes on! The apartment is very modern and well thought out. The drawers and cupboards were full of everything you will need! It was very comfy and had a home from home feel to it. The main oven didn’t work which was a shame but we managed with the top oven for the week. We struggled to remove the shower head from the unit which became a bit annoying at times. The water pressure wasn’t great but we knew this before we arrived. The only downside to this apartment is the lack of privacy in the garden. There is a few steps leading from the back garden which gives you quick access to the park opposite or the beach road. Unfortunately, our neighbours were using this constantly which did cause issues as we had no privacy whatsoever as they were in and out climbing over the wall every few minutes. This was the only big problem for us. Our children would be outside playing and then run in as they were embarrassed about having people walking over the wall. If it was a few times then this would’ve been fine, but it was very frequent! However, this wouldn’t stop us going back to Offshore, as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there, it ticked every box for us. You are literally opposite the pub which is a great location if you like to go out for drinks and cocktails in the evening, but you do get a bit fed up with the smell of garlic and seafood entering the apartment every day. We visited the pub which didn’t really fit our family as the menu is mainly seafood. We asked for haddock and our kids ended up with platefuls of octopus, prawns and squid! Needless to say we left hungry which was a shame, but if you’re a seafood lover then you’ll love it! I have given this apartment 5 stars as we really were so overwhelmed by the amount of thought that’s gone into making this property perfect for your holiday by the sea! The little touches made it for us! Porthtowan is a beautiful place to stay. We will be back Offshore! Thanks for making this a holiday we’ll never forget! ❤️

  Well where do I start, on arrival we found the key lock box old and in need of a new one, the front door and the mat full of dirt and cobwebs, entering the apartment the wood flooring was springy and the beading that goes on the wood flooring to the skirting was rotten, in the bed room we found cobwebs between the beds on the skirting which tells me that there is not much cleaning going on, and that showed all through the apartment, by the fridge there was a nail sticking out of the beading which is very dangerous and as we had our dog she could have caught herself, as for the cooker well there is no way we were going to use it as dirty and rusty, the armchair has seen better days, the Wi-Fi was very hit and miss, then we come to what I would call the main problem which is the sliding doors they did not close properly there was a big gap at the bottom where we had to put a tea towel to try and block the gap, on going out onto the decked balcony it has not been treated so it was like an ice rink when it got wet, looking at the guttering over the sliding doors it is all smashed which causes a big draft, the beds were ok but no brilliant, on a positive note the views from the balcony are stunning, it all really needs a good makeover, we have taken photos if you need to see what we mean, it did spoil a holiday as the pictures that a on your website look nice, but unfortunately it wasn’t, I hope we get a reply from yourselves or the owners, perhaps yourselves and/or the owners should pay a visit to check things out, as it is not worth the money we paid, very disappointing

  We arrived on the Saturday, to a door and windows full of cob webs , once in, there was a socket loose in the hall way, The sink and toilet in the bathroom were clean (ya !

  !) the floor had ground in trainer print of what I can say was dog poo, which I scraped off and hopped it ( I didn’t want to get out the shower and stand on the floor.) The kitchen I spent 3 hours getting the hob clean so I could use it, the surfaces needed cleaning too. I bought a frying pan, because the one in the apartment, was caked with burnt on grease in side and out. There was No cleaning stuff in the apartment, (I bought some, which I bought home) we took photos and sent them on to the owner When I contacted the owner she did come out, next day, with 2 bags of cleaning stuff, and flowers for us to say sorry, for a bad start to our holiday. she did ask if we wanted a cleaner to come in, only problem was I had done it. In my opinion the apartment needs a rip out , and start again. The one thing I can say, is the views from apartment were to die for, the locals very friendly. I would holiday in the area again but Not at 16 Seaspray.

  Not As Clean As We Thought No Cooker It Was Not Working A-tall.

  Car Parks Really Need Looking Into. As It’s A Long Walk Away From Seaspray People Parking Where You Want To Get Closer To The Flat. When You’re 70 Years Old You Don’t Need Any Stress Or Anxiety Carrying Things And Luggage Up Hills And Down Hills Really Terrible. Had Trouble with The Doors Opening And Closing Them. No Lights Out of The Front Very Dark At Night. Really Great To Go Home It Was So Terribly Dark At Seaspray. Only thing that Was Good Was The Great View. Will Not Be Back. It Was Just To Much For Older People To Know What To Expect. We Need A Good Rest To Get Over The Stress Of Staying There. It Looked Great On The Sykes Holiday Menu. But Seeing Is Believing And It Was Not What We Expected From Sykes Holidays. Nothing Went Right. We’re Shattered. It Was A Surfing Community Of People. But Not For US.

  Fabulous view and location, and bedlinen and towels were faultlessly clean, however the rest of the apartment was dated and needed a good clean with dust and general grubbiness all over.

  When arrived there was dirty crockery in cupboards and all glasses and cuterlery needed cleaning. The kitchen was dated and clutered with too many odd glasses, plates and mugs there was no matching set. The floors had not been mopped and there was a not nice smell in the bathroom all week. The throws on the lounge seats were not clean. In the bedrooms the upstairs Velux window had no blind and a broken window latch in the downstairs bedroom. Overall disappointed with the apartment for the money, could have been so much better with a little thought and investment to the facilities. We'll not be returning...
