  You need to check that light bulbs are working as several were out throughout the property. The one in our bedroom was too high to reach to even change ourselves. You have a washer and outside line but no pegs. No change of bedding or towels half way through and we didn’t have the facilities to wash and dry ourselves. This is the first time in 10 years visiting Cornwall this has happened and is unacceptable. There were no instructions for the cooker. The back garden is poorly kept, has weeds coming through the artificial grass, neighbours trees growing over the fence and is pretty grubby windows. We were unable to use barbecue as it is very rusty and had a bag of rubbish in it. Only 2 high rusty seats which meant we couldn’t use the garden. It’s clear from other reviews that they received cream teas and we received a pack of biscuits which is the worst welcome pack we have had. Nowhere to hang coats as this had clearly been broken but never put back up which was just two screws but left inside the cupboard downstairs. This meant our coats smelled of cooking as they had to be placed on chairs in kitchen.The 5 coat hangers in a talllboy is not enough for 2 people for two weeks so we lived out of suitcases for the duration of our stay. There were clearly enough space in both bedrooms for proper wardrobes. Again this is the worst we have experienced with other cottage providers. You have a soundbar and speaker yet the TV is not even HD. The whole house had cobwebs throughout especially in the wooden lampshades, around the fire, on the walls, ceilings and beams. Finally please invest in proper pillows as they were cheap and uncomfortable. We The amount of money we paid was a lot for a disappointing stay. It seems that too much emphasis is on aesthetics rather than basic comfort, and amenities. It seems like a minimum in and maximum out mentality is at the forefront of this cottage.

  Copper Bal Cottage was very clean and tidy, with stylish modern furnishings and tasteful artwork. It has an off-road parking space ideal for a medium-sized car or an on-road parking for a larger car. The garden is really pretty with a patio and a grass lawn, flowers and trees and a choice of seating options. We enjoyed meals on the patio and sitting under the awning to read and relax. We cooked in the kitchen which is well-equipped with a full-sized cooker, fridge-freezer and washing machine. The dining area is bright and comfortable. The lounge is cosy with a TV and streaming services. We didn't need the log burner but this would have been a treat on a cold or wet week. Upstairs the beds are comfortable with white linens and the shower is excellent. It is ideal for a couple of friends - like all older properties the ceilings are low in several of the downstairs rooms and on the stairs but we were aware of this when we booked and it is no problem for someone under 6 feet tall. The village is most practical with the village stores across the road, a post office and a few pubs; it is on a bus route and there are proper roads! There is such a lot to do nearby, magical coastline such as Prussia Cove, gardens such as Trengwainton and Godolphin, the Minack Theatre and St Michael's Mount. It is easy to shop, with Penzance so close by. And don't forget the superb jumpers at Tam O'Shanter in Penzance. You could go on a day trip to the Isles of Scilly from the Penzance Heliport or stay here before going onto Scilly for longer. The owner had gone to a lot of effort to make you feel at home and the letting company provided welcome packs on arrival.

  I only gave equipment 3 and not a 4 because I felt a few small items were missing such as hand soap both downstairs in the kitchen and upstairs. There is no hand basin in the toilet, though I understand the preference for a washing machine instead of a hand basin (washing machine was very useful) but liquid sanitiser in the toilet would have been useful. Foil would have been useful as is not the sort of thing you think of bringing and more tea towels. also hooks in the bathroom and bedroom doors that are not the stick on variety as they just fall off with the slightest of weight. also the tv remotes really need checking every time as they had a real problem, maybe the batteries. time and time again this is a problem in rental properties as they are never thought to be checked properly. Comfort, generally very comfy, especially the bed which was wonderful. It was also lovely and warm, too warm in fact so we kept turning it off. a good size kitchen lounge and bedrooms too. The settee though was not very comfy for us. Generally we loved the cottage very much, especially the view and the proximity to the beach. I have stayed in Perran most years for 40 years. During childhood I stayed in 'Sunnyside' but now we have a dog and they do not take dogs and it is very expencive so I was very pleased to find 4 Withey cottage with a secure garden for our little dog. Please do not change the garden to AstroTurf monstrosity as that is no good for dogs, wildlife, or children's bare feet as it getting burning hot in the sun and just does not look like the Cornish countryside and a suitable foreground to the fields and sea view.

  Sorry to say that we were very disappointed with this property and do not consider it as value for the money we paid. There were numerous problems, notably the spa bath was unusable as the pop up plug was u/s, front bedroom window could not be fully closed leaving a gap which was not good with the strong winds that were encountered during our visit - plugged gap with kitchen roll. Kitchen plinth heater had been switched off, this made that area very cold. Eventually found isolator to switch it on. We were not confident enough to use the freezer section of the fridge freezer as we found defrosted ice cube bags and the circulating fan was iced up. During the stay we also became aware of there being several loose balusters at the top and bottom of the stairs. Owner did pay a visit at the beginning of our stay, we pointed out the problems which we had found at that time, being the window and freezer, he did look at the window but could not fix the problem and for the freezer he said it needed defrosting. In general we consider that the property now needs a little bit of TLC to repair the cracks and flaked plaster and redecoration. Have given a 'good' ratings for equipment and comfort, these would have been 'very good' if everything was fully functional.

  1. Tried to book the holiday online with many attempts over two days.

  Site locked up on the payment screen. Rang to book which was not straight forward and was surprised that I was dealing with Sykes and not Cornish Cottage Holidays. This could account for my Banks reluctance to pay. 2 The directions to the Cottage were wrong and did not direct us to the Cottage and we had to ring the phone number provided to try and find the cottage. We were surprised to find that we were talking to someone in the North of England who was initially reluctant to help “as she did not know the area” After persistence on our part she did manage to direct us. 3 On entering the Cottage we were greeted with a very damp and musty smell. Fortunately, we cleared this by opening all windows, but we could not remove the musty smell from the bathroom all week which made it uncomfortable. 4. The entrance and egress from the road to the cottage caused the car to bottom and damaged the underside. (We are awaiting a report from a garage and this could result in a claim) We spoke to people in the other cottages, and they said their agent had warned them of the hazard and advised them to enter from the other direction which we did with no problem. This all said the Cottage its self was excellent and location was good but obviously more care was needed.
