  Had an excellent at Gennaker, the property was clean, light and had a high standard of appliances and furniture.

  The location was convenient for touring the South West, we normally stay in St. Ives and was nice to not be in the constant traffic jam trying to get into St.Ives. It was convenient to the south west coastal path to walk into St. Ives (especially as it meant we passed the awesome Porthminster beach and cafe on the walk). It was a short walk to Carbis Beach which is safe, quite and very very clean (only thing to be aware of, its a VERY steep walk so is hard work on the walk back). As in other reviews the walls are pretty thin so you can hear the neighbors, tbh this was not a big deal for us as we spent most of our time outside of the apartment. One important piece of feedback for the owner (which I believe has been repeated in other reviews), the instructions for the heating make no sense. They talk of turning a dial to 1, there are no dials on the heating controls only buttons. Luckily I have seen this type of heating control before so could work out how to turn the under floor heating on. However, if you have not seen this type of unit before it is VERY confusing, there are buttons on the control unit, buttons on the boiler and then dials on the thermostat in each room. I REALLY think you need to look at these instructions as the 'stress' of trying to work out the heating unit is a bad start to any holiday. Anyhoo, we had a fab stay and apart from the heating instructions which is a minor minor point, this is a very good property which is good value for money. Thanks so much

  We didn’t want to leave!

  The dairy is a beautiful house surrounded by rolling hills and cows…lots of cows! The little park was a hit with the children who have lots of steam to burn off. Johnathan(the owner/farmer) made use feel very welcome and introduced himself on arrival. We had an issue with my glasses…Johnathan came and saved the day with extra small screwdrivers to fix them. He is a very kind thoughtful chap! He also made our 4 year olds week by letting him Sit in his tractor(he is obsessed with tractors) The little ponds are down the road, they aren’t immediately on your door step, so as long as you don’t let your children roam the whole farm alone, they aren’t a danger. You do not need to take anything extra like towels, bottle openers, all kitchen accessories, it’s all there! There is even a tea pot and cafetière ready to use. The washing machine and dishwasher work as they should and are added bonuses as I certainly don’t want to be taking wet smelly clothes home or washing up all holiday! Do remember this is a working farm(cows…lots of lady cows who have the freedom to roam and enter the milking station at their own accord 24/7) Even with the cows roaming, it is silent, peaceful and relaxing. We will be back next year! Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

  The whole family loved our stay.

  The house was spacious and we didn't feel cramped at all, also lovely and light. Plenty of outside space for four very active grandchildren, who loved the garden and watching the rabbits who came into the garden every morning and watching the sheep in the field behind the garden. The garden has enough space for a gentle kick about with a ball which the children loved, plenty of car parking on the driveway. The area is very quite with some really lovely gentle walks locally. The beaches, which are very good are no more than about ten minutes drive away with restaurants and toilets, eccentrical with small children. We especially loved Summerleaze beach in Bude, huge beach with seawater swimming pool, also lovely little rock pools on the beach for the very small members of the family, even some of the older members of the family! Would go again anytime. Thanks to the very helpful owners.

  Had we known that this property had a very dangerous approach (single track winding road with lots of blind corners and hardly any passing places), we would not have booked it.

  On our first night there we nearly had a head on collision with another very aggressive driver. The collision was only avoided by our hesitant and careful driving. The other driver kept coming at us forcing us back for a long way, despite a passing place not far behind him. In addition the farmer arrived in the evening to advise that due to problems with water flow, the en-suite toilet cistern had to be filled manually. I spent a lot of time filling up the cistern with jugs of water. There was a slight mention of water pressure problems in other reviews but we felt this was significantly down played and did not reflect the full extent of the problem. However, we had comfortable sofas for the evening, a good sized table to sit around and the beds weren't bad.

  We had a lovely stay at the Granary.

  The property is spacious and well appointed, with a large rear garden and paved area with far reaching views over farmland to the sea. High quality bedding and towels. A little tricky to find the house, it would be helpful to have a map to clearly indicate the property location and the parking, at the rear. Both my daughter and I, drove past the house, the first time and ended up at Prussia Cove car park! The property is a little remote but with wonderful views, both during the day and the night sky. Half a mile walk to the pub, chippy and co-op local store, about a mile walk along footpaths to Perranuthnoe beach. Short drive to Porthleven or Marazion. We bought a cheap bbq for bbq stand and had 3 bbq’s in a week. Lovely.
