  Honest review.

  .. location wasn’t the best nothing really around apart from 1 pub (for local people) and a londis, closest supermarket about 20 minute drive each way. We did more driving than anything this last week nothing local that’s any good. Lodge itself. Jacuzzi was brilliant perfect for relaxing after a long drive everyday. Outside furniture seats just left out to ruin in rain which was disappointing. No bbq at the lodge, I think you had to request one from reception. No washing line of any kind to dry towels or bathing suits,(other 2 lodges do have one each) Living room/kitchen open plan good setup all modern appliances in kitchen all work as they should. Don’t expect to be able to put a lot in fridge only essentials. Comfy sofa in room and a single chair also tv with freeview reception goes quite a bit but your not there to sit and watch tv. Bedroom 1 3 quarter bed very comfortable little wardrobe and plenty drawer space. Bedroom 2 two single beds again comfy and enough storage. Shower room. Shower wouldn’t drain properly and had a leak. Toilet and basin as expected. Overall 6/10 was ok probably wouldn’t stop again as location too far from anywhere but that was my fault when booking not Sykes. Looking forward to our next holiday in Newquay with Sykes though.

  Apple Tree Cottage was beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean - the perfect hideaway from the world, which was just what we were looking for.

  The hot tub was private and added a touch of luxury. The garden was lovely, the apple tree beautiful. The bed was enormous and so comfy, the bedding and soft furnishings were excellent quality. The kitchen was the perfect cosy cottage kitchen, with the range and the round table. All the fixtures and fittings were high quality. The village of Gweek is lovely, and the local shop is a real hub and has everything you could need, with friendly staff. Our top local visits were Mullion Cove, a circular walk from gorgeous Helford to Dennis Head and Frenchman’s Creek, St Michael’s Mount and Minack Theatre. And we absolutely recommend the pasties and sausage rolls from nearby Gear Farm - best ever!! We loved every minute of our autumn break in the rugged Cornish countryside of the Lizard Peninsula and hope to be back one day. Thank you to the owners of Apple Tree Cottage for a wonderful stay.

  We had amazing holiday at Kensa.

  Property was warm on arrival. Owner had given us Easter eggs, coffee and milk, lovely wine and even treats for our dog. Property was immaculately clean, Modern and had everything that you may wish for. Personal touches were really lovely. We loved all the picture canvases of the local places with post codes on the wall. Welcome folder was very informative. Jacuzzi was amazing and clean. It is emptied and cleaned between every bookings. If cleanliness is important for you, then this is the place! Property was spotless! Reading the previous reviews, everything that had been mentioned by previous quest had been rectified. I.e. there now is a laundry aerial. You really don't need to take any household items with you. These is toilet and kitchen paper, dishwasher /laundry tablets, cleaning liquids, and even towels for the muddy paws. We will defenately return.

  Kensa is a lovely property and the owners' little touches are wonderful.

  The welcome pack of wine, mince pies and chocolates went down a treat, as did the fact that they had decorated Kensa for Christmas including a tree Its ideal for dogs and towels and treats are provided for them as well. Everything is provided re towels and linen but would suggest that bring own towels for hot tub be added in description as a note ask that the white towels not be used for hot tub. Underfloor heating took a while to get use to and at times it felt cold The cooker is also a little temperamental especially if you put the wrong pan on, it doesn't recognise the weight and turns itself off. Cornwalls weather was at its wettest so due to the lack of a clothes horse it was hard to get items dry. The hot tub though was fabulous and was used daily in all weathers We would recommend Kensa to others because over all it was one of the best we have stayed in.

  When arrived we could not find the patio door keys once found everything was easier.

  My husband and I are a couple of dinosaurs when it comes to technology so when on description it said smart tv we thought we would get freeview (there’s no aerial) the only thing you can get is on app’s Netflix etc. if you bring you own logins etc (whatever they are). Also it would be handy if instructions booklets on how to work kitchen appliances ie microwave and induction hob. The Kensa was beautiful clean and is very central to all areas the bungalow Is on a corner plot and you have to be very careful when driving in and out. The paintings around the bungalow where very informative. If you are thinking of going to St Ives I would leave very early as parking there is terrible it’s also very hilly if you have any mobility problems. All In all we had a good stay in Cornwall but won’t be returning as it’s long drive from Wales.
