  Great location and view over the Bay, 5 minutes walking distance from the train station with easy access to St Ives.

  Before diving into a bit of detail I would like to say my family and I had a lovely holiday at the Lanyon and made some great memories. On booking there were no reviews as it was a new listing at the time so we took a risk and overall we were very happy. The walk to the nearest dog friendly beach takes you down an undulating coast path/track which is challenging, lots of steps and takes about 10 minutes once you cross the train track. But the reward once down on the beach is great, a very nice sandy beach and no restrictions for the dog. We stayed there for several hours on one of our days. Carbis bay is a lovely sandy beach but down a steep road. There is a hotel/bar where you can have a drink or two which was nice. The beach has restriction on the time dogs are allowed, I think 10am-6pm (but pls check) The house is big and spacious, but perhaps could do with some updating in the main bathroom and shower room. All works perfectly fine but just looked a little dated. No TV in three of the bedrooms, but as we were out and about most of the time not too much of an issue. Doors: a few of the interior doors did not open or close easily, you had to apply some force and this created a loud noise each time, not so much of a problem in the day, but at night was just not great. (easily fixed I am sure) The garden is a big space which is great for the dog, but the lawn needs cutting and grass needs some attention. Also need some better quality outside furniture, what is supplied seems very much like an after thought. Also a couple of sun loungers would be great. We liked the idea of the Wood burning hot tub in advance, but there is no wood supplied and the reality once there is it all seemed like a lot of effort. Would strongly recommend installing an electric hot tub in the future, as the view is great. We had two cars, one being a largish 4x4. The driveway to the house had an old cement post to one side of the entrance which was more of a hindrance/hazard and would recommend this be removed. The main sitting room/tv room is a nice large space with comfortable seating and open fire, I would recommend they remove the main painting opposite the TV as it depicts somebody being beheaded!, not great for young kids.. St Ives: Take the rain as parking in St Ives can be problematic, it is one stop on the train. We enjoyed Cintra as a fish/tapas type restaurant overlooking the harbour. Very fresh and tasty. I hope this helps, all in all the house and location worked great for us . (3 adults, 2 children (11 & 14) and a Cockapoo dog)

  This cottage is stunning.

  So much room. It was decorated beautifully and had everything we needed. A lovely welcome gift left for our arrival, lots of detail thought of. It’s a fabulous size house and will comfortably sleep at least 8 people. All the bedrooms were clean and comfortable. So much so we have purchased the same quilt and pillows as we had such a good nights sleep. From Soak and Sleep! There are two lounges which is perfect when you have kids- especially teenagers who want to play the Wii or watch Netflix! Loads of games in the one lounge which we all enjoyed playing and the Wii was an added bonus! Huge dining table perfect for a large group. Well equipped kitchen, everything looked new and was very clean. Very good quality equipment and appliances. Overall the house was of a very high standard and felt very homely. Highly recommend La Casita which is opposite. Stunning food, wonderful staff. There is a chip shop 5 minutes walk away and a pharmacy and a cost cutter directly opposite. The beach, Carbis Bay, is a 10-15 minute walk away. Coming back up is very steep! The beach is beautiful and has cafes and toilets. The train station to St Ives is half way down the hill to the beach and only takes 5 minutes to get to St Ives. Well worth it- don’t bother driving it!! You can walk to St Ives which would take only about 40 minutes. The location is perfect for visiting the area and we had lots of days out. 2 car parking at rear which was perfect. We were very sad to leave, wonderful cottage, fantastic location. Thank you to the owners for such a wonderful stay! Hopefully we will be back next year!!

  From the day before our holiday the Hosts George and Christine were in touch to check our arrival so they could be at the cottage to welcome us and show us around.

  A very warm welcome was followed by a tour of the place and the facilities. It was like walking in to a brand new fully equipped modern house with all the facilities that you would think of. Dogs bed, towel and other items for the dog, fruit basket with biscuits, scones, fudge, wine, bread milk ,coffee, tea ,sugar, salt, pepper and much more so you do not have to buy anything straight away on your arrival. The kitchen had brand new cutlery crockery and glasses etc. A nice barbeque with charcoal provided.A very nice bar and seating arrangement in the garden was appreciated specially when we did a barbeque Basically everything that you need was more or less thought of and provided. We were 5 and the beds and rooms were more than adequate. The bathroom and the toilet were very clean with all towels provided. The hosts made a point of welcoming a couple from our party personally next day as they arrived after us. On the whole extremely pleasant experience of going from home to home and I am sure I have forgotten a lot of things! Like the surround sound system in all the rooms! Excellent wifi etc. Truly the sort of host and property that you dream of. Can not wait to go Back. Good luck to George and Christine Hope to see you very very soon.

  I asked several times before travelling down as to whether there was a iron and ironing board in the house as i had a family event to attend.

  Also, as the listing mentioned a pond but didn't show any images i asked if it was covered or safe with dogs about. I heard nothing back on either of these points. There was an iron and an ironing board but the board didn't have a cover. As for the pond, really think the word pond is stretching it. It was a large puddle in a stone. My dog liked to drink from it though which i discouraged him from obviously. The garden itself was lovely and well kept. Spent many a chilled hour. It has sun all day and really is a treat for this part of Cornwall. The house was like visiting your grandparents house. It had a real family owned feel, and was generally fine. There are lots of spiders but that didn't bother us. Really think though that a double bed rather than two singles in the backroom away from traffic noise would be an idea. There was dirty linen in a bag in the bathroom, and might have brought back some creepy crawlies with us but not sure if that came from the house. I loved the kitchen feel, and liked the way you could open up the door to the garden. Equipment wise it was all fine, feel the TV could do with an upgrade. All in all at the right price we would return!

  Having enjoyed many stays in your properties over the years, this one was a disappointment.

  Arrival was not a good experience. A gate with rotting wood which was difficult to open and close.. Rats running around in the outside space. A very tired looking kitchen with unusable equipment. A snug lounge with damp walls. Main lounge was comfortable as was the bedroom we used. No extractor fan in en suite shower room. Main bathroom bath scratched and stained. Front door and entrance needs a bit of tlc. Hot water to kitchen was a bit erratic. A disgusting bbq. You fixed dribbling tap within couple of hours of us contacting you. Rat traps were laid during our stay so was not inclined to let dog out or use that space during our stay. Property is not semi-detached as advertised, it’s mid-terrace. As frequent visitors to Carbis Bay we knew the locations of semi-detached properties on St Ives Road. This turned out to be not one of them. If you provide an email address I can send you photos.
