  A lovely place to stay, with plenty to do.

  Having the private beach was a real bonus as no need to get in the car if planning a day at the beach. Our grandson enjoyed the play area and had lots of fun together with children from the other cottages. The cottage was as described, and yes small but adequate for us and our grandson. We struggled to sleep well due to the small double bed which I had read about in previous reviews but chose to ignore hoping this issue may have been addressed.The cottage is nicely decorated and fairly well equipped, the towels were lovely and soft and although small , the bed was comfy. Our dog was also well catered for, treats, poo bags and even a towel. The animals were very friendly ,well cared for and enjoyed being fed on a regular basis (food available from the shared utility room). We didn’t have a problem with the wi-fi or mobile signal as was previously mentioned in reviews. Staff very friendly and seldom seen so not intrusive in any way. The location is excellent, plenty of walking directly from the farm and a very short drive to Ilfracombe for supplies or day out etc. Also walking distance to local attractions and eateries. All in all a fabulous place to stay and highly recommend.

  The fact that I didn’t score top marks for each of the categories didn’t detract from our enjoyment.

  The location of this cottage is amazing if you like peace and quiet . If you want a ‘quick pop to the shop ‘ maybe not as good although there are plenty of supermarkets about 20 minutes away ( by car). Being in the forest at this time of year was a joy . Lots of opportunities to park and walk for hour. The garden is on a couple of levels with some interesting nooks and crannies . It felt completely secure for our dog to investigate. Surrounding towns / villages are very dog friendly and we were made welcome everywhere. (Try Alex Gooch in Monmouth). The cottage itself had all that we needed but for me the sofas were a bit tired and didn’t offer my dodgy back enough support . I realise that is something personal to me and maybe other guests would be fine. At home we rarely get the opportunity to watch television so it was a bonus to have a television that worked as described in the holiday listing . Very often, listings say ‘smart tv’ but channels are very restricted . However this was not the case at Anvil Cottage.

  We throughly enjoyed our stay at 5 Parc Terrace.

  Newlyn is a lovely village with lovely restaurants (Mackrel Sky Seafood, The Bridge) Café (Duke St Cafe) and Pubs (The Swordfish) all of which are dog friendly. The house is in a perfect location to walk to Penzance and Mousehole and a bus route which runs through can also be used to get to other areas/sights of Cornwall. This information written in the welcome pack would have been useful. The house was on a steep hill, a good way to walk off the food and drinks, and we were lucky with parking to have had a pace on the road just outside the house. The house itself was decorated lovely, clean and was everything we needed for a week with our dog. The gifts on arrival were a lovely touch! Thank you for a lovely week and we would definitely recommend to stay here as a base for exploring Cornwall

  I can't complain about the cleanliness as this was spot on apart from a filthy grill pan in the cooker.

  No dressing table so very difficult to get ready and do hair and make up. Living room very uncomfortable. The 2 sofas are past the best and once your on them your in a hole and the tv is housed on the wall very high up! Felt unable to relax and it gave me a bad neck. No tv upstairs at all which won't be an issue to all but was to me. These are all issues that can be easily addressed. Beds were comfy. Main bedroom is on the main road side which is also on a bus route which can get quite noisy. Again if your a light sleeper this won't be for you Traffic struggles to get up and down this very steep bank. You can't park outside but we always managed to park close by but if your a nervous driver this won't be the place for you.... Lovely touch of scones and wine on arrival though.

  I wouldn’t say this is a 4 star property at all.

  As most of the reviews have said the cleanliness really lets it down. A villager warned us of this as we pulled up. We had to wash all crockery and cutlery. The kitchen cupboards were greasy and dirty as was the oven. We chose to eat out all week. Lack of cupboard space meant our food stayed in the bags. The lounge cannot be cleaned in between lets as the dust in the corners and behind the TV had been there a long long time, as had the dead flies on the windowsills. The small outside space could be made to look lovely and useable if it was weeded and flowers were in the planter instead of the dandelion and decent chairs were provided, not the rusty set that is there. I hope Skyes cottages work with the owners to make this the lovely cottage it could be.
