  The Wink was amazing the moment we entered, it had the wow factor!

  , despite having arrived in the rain and mist. The layout of the accommodation was well thought out and executed, the ability to close the outer sliding doors and the Velux roof blinds allows the lounge/kitchen area to be sufficiently dark at night for our little dog to sleep through, the nice long walks helped. Very comfortable bed, and great bathroom, especially the large shower enclosure, always plenty of hot water throughout the day. Nice touch to have bath robes supplied, especially for going outside to use the hot tub. Great kitchen area with the Everhot range. Well stocked with all the utensils we needed. The best welcome basket we have experienced anywhere in self catering accommodation, all top quality locally sourced items. The walled patio area outside was ideal, and safe for the dog and a nice sun trap for most of the day, we managed to use the hot tub, without difficulty, plenty of easy instructions and useful information in the guest book. One of the outstanding benefits was the quiet location on the farm, no traffic noise, very peaceful, great access straight onto the SWCP at the end of the lane, great walks with stunning views. A very easy 10-12 minute walk into St Just with all the essentials, and great pubs, so no real need to be constantly using a car. Lorna, the owner came round shortly after we arrived, to see we were settled in OK, and husband Harvey also passed by during the week. They have gone to great lengths and much thought has gone into presenting this first class accommodation on their farm, it is certainly the best we have stayed in over the years we've been visiting Cornwall. We will most definitely recommend The Wink and hope to return. One last thing, the Cape Cornwall rum that is produced on the farm is excellent!

  The property is well located for Sennen Cove, but the name “sea the view” is a bit misleading as it doesn’t really have sea views.

  The rooms are very nice quality and design and a lot of thought has gone into it. The photos on the listing showed comfy outdoor furniture but this had been replaced with less lounge furniture (which is obviously easier for them to maintain). So there was nowhere we could all sit and lounge outside (the comfy corner sofa chairs were not there, the swing chairs had been taken down etc). So it wasn’t quite as expected. The bed linen was lovely quality but the pillows were awful - I get this is very personal but I had to go out and buy some as they were that poor and the main bed had a super firm mattress. We had problems with the main patio door not working which meant there was a gap when they were closed and as it is quite an exposed garden the draft and noise of the wind was quite annoying. In addition we had a day of driving rain which lead to a large leak flooding the floor under the picture window. Eating in all the basics crockery was there but for example there was no salad bowl or serving plates, so if you were wanting to do a nice meal in it was a bit basic. The addition of an electric charger was very helpful. It was lovely but overall for the high price I don’t think it quite delivered.

  The cleanliness was good, however we found an empty chocolate wrapper and half eaten pack of Doritos under one of the beds.

  A pair of oven gloves would be useful. On the second day of our stay I put a load of washing into the machine. The house manual had instructions for how to erect the clothes airer - I hunted high and low and could not find it. There was no washing line outside to hang the clothes on either. I phoned Sykes and asked if they could contact the housekeeper to find out where it could be found. I was told this would be dealt with on the Monday since it was a weekend. I phoned again on Monday and was told they would phone the housekeeper and that they would bring out an airer that day. It never turned up. I phoned again on Tuesday - and received a call to say the airer was in the downstairs cloakroom - which is was not. So I was told the housekeep would bring one out - it never turned up. At this point I just gave up. I had to use the tumble dryer to dry my several loads of wet washing during the week, which I was loathed to do, and would incur increased electricity costs. Some of my washing could not be tumble dried so I had to hang it on hangers all around the house. All around not a very satisfactory service from Sykes, which considering I had paid just under £2500 for a week, was very disappointing.

  Victory View is a stunning holiday cottage, with incredible views out towards the sea.

  It was lovely being able to open the bi fold doors upstairs in the living room and just watch the boats! The cottage has everything you need for a great holiday. The welcome biscuits, Cornish tea, Cornish butter and Cornish milk. The hot tub was brilliant and the garden completely secure for our children and our dog, very private also. The house has been renovated and you can tell how much love and effort has been given to the building, it really is stunning inside and out. All the appliances are top quality. The beds were very comfortable. Great bath and shower also. Racquel and Darren also recommended places to eat, The Queens Arms locally, was one of the best pub/restaurant dining experiences we have ever had, so good we went back a second time! We also really enjoyed The North Inn. Local places such as St Just are simply stunning and well worth a visit. Would recommend Victory View to anyone and would love to return at some point. Thanks to Racquel and Darren for allowing us to let it for a week, we had a fantastic holiday!

  Beautiful home, we felt bad when we left as we wanted to leave a few comments in the guest book but no one had a pen!

  Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!! We actually stayed in one of these last year (sea scape) and as we love it in sennen so much we wanted to come back. Sea the View didn’t disappoint, the bedrooms are beautiful and the bathroom and showers fantastic. The views are amazing too. Downstairs is lovely and the kitchen has everything you need. Couple of ideas for the new owners, it would be great to have a little bistro set to sit at outside, the big day bed and table isn’t great for anything other than lazing back! Which we did lots of course! And maybe pop a little cafetière in the cupboard - we’ve always had one in all the places we’ve stayed (even when there is a coffee machine) so it was unusual not to have one. The garden could do with a tidy up - I’m not a huge gardener but little things like pulling out the dead leaves really make it so pretty when you’re sat outside. These are just little things tho, we had a wonderful time and will DEFINITELY be back!! Thank you!!!
