  The barn looked as though it had recently been renovated so the decor was fresh and no signs of wear and tear.

  It was spacious, light and welcoming. The beds were very comfortable and the facilities were great. The hot tub, outdoor fire pit and indoor log burner were lovely to use. The hot tub was to a great standard and very clean, the different jets/programmes to use on tired walking limbs were very appreciated. We pleasantly received a welcome hamper with breakfast produce, cornish butter, milk and fresh bread which was a lovely touch and also dog treats and bowls which were a really lovely surprise. Great lawned area and patio area to enjoy the outdoors and beautiful sunset. Bathrobes to enjoy for our stay was also a great touch. Ample parking and wonderful location to reach the coastal paths. Netflix on TVs were great, and the game of monopoly and Poldark book were of great interest. The gardens and house are kept perfectly presented! Our only (very very tiny) quibbles were that not all rings on the induction hob would work at the same time/one pan would be difficult to link up. We needed some oven gloves as the oven was super efficient! My husband bumped his head a lot on the extractor hood (I wasn't tall enough to hit it luckily) and we had difficultly getting the wine chiller to work.There seemed to be short supply of tumbler glasses but plentiful of wine glasses (which didn't cause us too many problems, only breakfast time with juice!) Everything else was fantastic and we only wish to raise these to bring them to the attention of the owners in case they haven't been made aware of them. We have been recommending to our friends and family and would love to return.

  No barbecue.

  No oven glove. No washing machine detergents etc. Not enough crockery for a family of four to have a day's worth of meals without having to use dishwasher. Needs an extra comfy chair in the lounge. Had to hunt for Wi-Fi code. No info re bin collection day etc. Key safe was very difficult to open (as if the lid was stuck?). Massive cobwebs down the side of the bathroom cabinet between it and the wall. Bedroom door doesn't latch shut (latch needs adjusting but I didn't have my toolkit with me). So in several areas not quite as described or in photo's. We were overall a bit disappointed because it didn't live up to what we were expecting from some reviews and compared to other places we have stayed. However, it was early in the season so maybe not up to their usual standard? Good location. Great place for plane spotters as it's right under the flight path for Land's End Airport and the SkyBus to the Scillies takes off every ten minutes.

  We loved the location and, for a couple, the property should have given us everything we wanted but it needs some tlc.

  .. The bedroom and shower room window frames were mouldy and we had to clean them to feel comfortable about it. We think this is down to the fact that the shower room and bedroom windows can't be opened so the window frames get damp from the steam from the shower not being able to escape. Also the shower room window extractor fan didn't work so was no help with this. I'm sure the owners are trying to provide the best but a goose feather duvet is a mistake. Some of us are allergic to feathers! Niggles over. The location is very quiet despite being only a minutes walk from the local pub. It is also incredibly convenient for local attractions, being less than half an hour from both Market Harborough and Uppingham which lead on to so many other places like Rutland Water, Stamford, Melton Mowbray, etc., etc. We would stay there again but would take our own duvet and seek reassurance about the upstairs windows.

  The property is very nice and comfortable, it's bigger than it shows in the pictures.

  The bed is really good, so much that we had a look at the manufactures! The wardrobe has plenty of space. Very nice place and the area is beautiful!!! We had a lovely time. Ian, the owner is very helpful and offered the use of his garden to us. Two negative things: 1) It was not very clean. There were cobwebs in many places, behind the bed there were a lot. The bathroom also no good, it looked that the previous guests cleaned it just superficially, quite dirty behind the toilet seat. My wife had to clean it before we used it. 2) There are not sufficient utensils. We generally don't cook in these cottages, but we like a proper breakfast and there was not a spatula to turn eggs, or a smaller frying pan. The cereal bowls are really small, we had to buy two as we like to have porridge. Otherwise the cottage is excellent!!! That's why we are not giving 5 stars.

  Loved everything about The Hayloft, St Just, it was exactly as described.

  The accommodation was beautiful, the bed in the master room was huge and comfortable and the TV's and ensuite bathrooms were fab. The reception area was nice and spacious so ideal when coming in from the rain with wet dogs! The facilities are good, the dishwasher and washing machine came in very handy. I would recommend taking, foil and clingfilm with you. You may also like to take extra toilet rolls, kitchen roll, dishwasher tablets and washing powder/liquid and softener although this is provided. We went in November and it rain quite a lot but that didn't spoil it at all as the place was cosy and warm. Sitting in the hot tub in the pouring rain was just the best. A walk round Lands End with the dogs is well worth a visit. All in all, it was a nice relaxing holiday which is what we wanted......I would stay there again.
