  We had a very disappointing week in this property due to the terrible damp & mould issues in the whole of the upstairs.

  The Bathroom ceiling was covered in mould & the heated towel rail didn't work as I'd read in a previous review but thought it would of been fixed seeing as it's now the winter months but no,So after you get out the shower its freezing cold while getting dry & how are you meant to dry 4 bath towels?? We ended up 2 of us showering in the morning & 2 in the evening & drying towels 1 by 1 on the little heated towel rail in downstairs toilet not ideal!! We found the beds also felt damp so we used our own bath towels that we brought with us to sleep on. The smell of damp in the upstairs is awful & it's coming through on the bedroom walls, I'm shocked that a property with this damp issue is being rented out to unsuspecting holiday makers.Luckily none of us suffer with any respiratory problems or we wouldn't of been able to stay ,As it was we came home early as we'd had enough, this is the first time after years of using Sykes(& always been happy)that I made a formal complaint & Sykes were very understanding & after I'd sent photos of all the damp they got some compensation for us from the owner. I will definitely use Sykes again & have put this down to a bad experience, I hope the owner understands how much of a health hazard dampness & mould is & deals with this so future holiday maker's can enjoy the otherwise nice property. Hayle is a lovely area & close to St Ives & Penzance, I should imagine in the summer months this would be a lovely place to stay.

  This place is truly beautiful.

  We were delighted when we arrived. Flowers on the table, tea, coffee, fresh milk in the fridge and some really yummy biscuits. Plenty of lovely soap, fresh towels and nice quality bed linen on the beds. The views were absolutely stunning as the accommodation is set within a beautiful Manor Estate. The owners are lovely and came to introduce themselves. They made us feel very welcome and my daughter loved that she could speak with the lady in several languages. The heated pool was amazing and the kids made good use of this. It's not too deep and just a nice size for the younger children to play in. There were even some pool floaties provided but we had taken our own. The gardens are kept beautiful so it really is a pleasant place to relax. We stayed in Parlour Cottage which was beautiful and very comfortable. The character of the property has not been spoiled at all. Its an old cattle barn that has been very tastefully renovated. With beautiful wooden beams and a lovely wood burning stove in the living area. We didn't need to use it as the central heating was sufficient on the one day it felt a bit cool. There was a slight fusty smell to the property but I suppose this is to be expected in property of this nature and character. I would definitely stay here again. If I had to give some development points I would say the pool table in the fab games room needs replacing. Give this place a go, it's well worth it.

  Accomodation modern with nice bathroom and kitchen.

  Nicely furnished and decorated including attractive pictures lamps etc. Plenty hot water and heating was fine with panel radiators. Clean and tidy and kitchen had all you need. Few niggles: Needed new TV remote which owner provided (including some complimentry pizzas) which we had to tune it in and fridge and freezer doors need re-attaching to outside cabinet doors, bathroom sink plug faulty, no bin bags or recyling facilities in use (2 fittted bins below sink stored cleaning products instead). A couple of suggestions: (not complaints) Both toilet roll holders need turning 180 deg so rolls dont fall off when pulled (one had clip missing as well. Shelf in downstairs toilet could be moved to the right away from the sink so it can be used more readily. On next redecoration paint window surrounds magnolia not Khaki brown. Outside... Site facilities dated and properties feel drab as need more sunlight. some savage tree pruning and tree removal would help get some light in. Clubhouse from 1960's and still no swings in childs play area (probably health and safety or insurance issues!) Site entrance might benefit from a mirror on the other side of the road for a better view exiting. Overall a pleasant enough site as a base to visit other attractions, as onsite entertainment is lacking and certainly not great for children who expect more these days.

  The location was ideal as a base for exploring Cornwall but the park itself was dated and tacky.

  The pool was a main reason we booked but was a huge disappointment so we avoided it. We were a family of four and think that if there had been two more of us it would have been uncomfortable. Bigger sofas would make the world of difference. Personally, I would sacrifice the downstairs bedroom to give more living space. Having read the reviews, the property was better than expected but would encourage the owner to change the light fittings as they were weren't very bright and some bulbs on their way out, replace downstairs door handles and replace fridge as it isn't actually that cold! Overall, it was a good base and the chalet was what we expected. Would also say that none of us suffered with wifi or broadband issues the entire trip and the hot water didn't run out! Unfortunately the TV didn't work after day 2 though. But don't really have any high expectations from the park itself. Get out and explore Cornwall!

  On arrival first impressions were good , everything seemed clean and welcoming .

  As the first night passed we noticed a smell in bedrooms ,mould behind side draws in downstairs bedroom and in main bedroom corner . Main bedroom the mould was painted over but you can see it coming back through . Downstairs bedroom it's very clear . No bbq which was a shame and downstairs loo seat broken ,only balanced on to actual loo. The hot water ran out after 3rd shower in mornings and there was four of us so someone always had a cold shower . We tried to grill some bacon but smoke came out of grill filling kitchen area . It said in write up, WiFi inc but this was intermittent . On the plus side the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans . plenty of towels left to use . Location is great for exploring Cornwall. Site staff are friendly.
