What our customers say about their holidays
Ion - Verified booking
We had a really lovely stay at Tresco bungalow.
The property, views, location and facilities were excellent. It was very well equiped and had everthing we needed. The only issues we encountered were upon arrival at the Bungalow the description of how to access the property from the car park, (there was no mention of a car park) was not clear and as we arrived in the dark proved something of an issue, and no mention of any steps that you had to access from the car park. The emergency number was not helpful as you had to go through a number of options and then leave a message and someone would get back to you. Not helpful I feel if you need immediate assistance. We eventually found the main entrance which is located up some stairs on a public walkway uphill behind the Bungalow. The Bungalow does have a garden next to it which is gated which would eliminate the need to use the steps but apparently is no longer in use for guests, and I therefore feel is an issue if you have a lot of luggage or mobility issues. I did mention to Sykes that the description was not accurate, which they agreed and said they would update it. I unfortunately left an item behind which has now been returned safely but that proved a bit of nightmare as there was knowone you could speak to directly. All the numbers I tried only had options to book as a guest or rent for as an owner. You have to go through either of these options and you are then transferred, you cannot telephone customer services direct it is a digital service only. I telephoned many times to chase it up and spoke to at least 10 poeple on different occasions, having to wait at least 20 mins on each occasion having to repeat the same conversation, and then put on hold each time as they then had to contact the Carbis bay office before eventually it was sorted. It was so long winded. They stated the housekeeper had serviced the property the day we left and would have no reason to go back to the property until the next occupants left, so I had know way of knowing for over a week whether my property had been found by the housekeeper. I do feel having someone closer at hand to deal with immediate issues would be beneficial, and unfortunately would make me reluctant to book a property with Sykes again without this.

We had a very pleasant stay in St Ives.
Tresco bungalow is furnished brilliantly, with very modern fittings and utilities that made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. The location is perfect for short walks into town and directly to the beautiful beach below. We were very unfortunate with weather, so could only use the hot tub once, but it was set up nicely to be able to look out at the lovely view whilst relaxing. St Ives has some wonderful old architecture, beautiful walks in the town and challenging hills to explore, as well as some lovely pubs, an incredible old church and great restaurants. The Harbour Fish and Chips were some of the best fish and chips Iâve ever had! We took the train to Penzance as well, which was an experience, but the town isnât any where near as lovely as St Ives, so we were glad to be staying there. Some things to note⦠getting to the property was a slight challenge, you need to be prepared to drive down an incredibly steep hill which looks like a footpath. Myself and my wife both decided sat nav must be wrong and diverted to a different route through town, which turned out to be a wrong move and got us a little lost down the tiny roads we shouldnât have been on. When investigating the steep hill path by foot we realised this was in fact the way, and managed to get the car down the hill. It wasnât a problem in the end, but some advanced warning that youâll need a car that can handle the climb back up the hill too and some reasonably good driving skills to navigate this. Another thing of note and only minor grievance would be that the pool man came before 8am on the morning we were leaving, which we felt was a little intrusive as we had until 10am to leave. In the second bedroom, the two single beds pushed together could do with a mattress topper to make sure you canât feel the divide. Otherwise the bungalow was excellent, well equipped, clean, modern and great location for the duration of our holiday.

This property was a real disappointment.
The location was great for us very close to carbis bay Beach and great for getting to st Ives. The cottage itâs self was not good unfortunately it was very dirty on arrival cleaners were sent back to sort this for us which was good but there is a terrible fish smell in the back bedroom which was not sorted for us so we had to put up with it for the whole weeks stay itâs was terrible. We were unfortunately unable to open the bedroom windows to help with the smell as we saw a rat one evening outside the bedroom so this worried us to leave the window open incase they came through the window. The wardrobe doesnât shut properly either, the property just isnât well maintained. We came to use the iron to find the plug had been cut off so a new one had to be delivered to the property for us. The oven was filthy needs a proper clean between guests and the freezer draws were also filthy. I suggest this property needs a real deep clean. The parking situation is terrible if you own a big car. With the property next door also parking there you just canât get a big car in the parking bay if they return home with their car before you do. We did get a very insulting refund from the owners for all our issues but in our opinion they didnât deal with it very well and to the standard we would expect. Carbis bay holidays were great and tried their hardest for us. Itâs not good to spend every day of your holiday on a phone trying to resolve accommodation issues and reporting issues.

This was our second visit and stay at Ocean Gate due to the fabulous views and location, only a 1.
5 mile walk into St Ives so away from the hustle and bustle. Great that the apartment has a dedicated parking space however, there is an issue between where Sykes state you should park and the owners of the Wheelhouse who have put a plaque on the wall showing where they think people should park; this caused a couple of arguments and the owners of Ocean Gate need to address this. The apartment is well lit, great bedrooms and open plan living space, the arm chairs are not very comfortable after a long day of walking and the sofa could do with some new cushions but it's ok. A lot of feedback in the visitor book though I'd guess the owners rarely visit and read/ take on board the reviews left, still no full length mirrors anywhere when there is plenty of space for at least one in each bedroom. The bath is very deep with no bath mat provided and it does get very slippery, so care taken especially for young children or older guests. Last Feb there was a clothes horse for drying/ airing clothes this is no longer in the property and there is no washing line so whilst you can wash your clothes you'll be hard pushed to dry them. Also the outdoor furniture is tired and for an apartment that sleeps 4 people only having 2 outdoor chairs is very limiting for outdoor evenings, on this the dining chairs are slightly unsteady and need replacing. Overall we would stay again due to the location however, the owners need to take onboard the comments for how the apartment could be improved.
