New Year Breaks In Cornwall

  We had a really lovely stay at the Thomas Chambers.

  On arrival we saw a lovely welcome note with some goodies such as cookies which made us feel home straight away and was a really nice touch. Everything that we need was provided. We were able to cook our breakfast daily as the kitchenette provided all our basic needs and it even has a washing machine. The bed was nice and comfortable and it was lovely that they provided wifi, netfilx and amazon log ins. The location was very central and near New Quay and a lot of beautiful walks such as Godrevy and St. Agnes amongst the many other. The drive was very convenient and because of this we were able to fully explore Cornwall and appreciate how beautiful it is! Private parking was provided too and this place was near the grocery store and eating places it was very convenient. The only thing that we weren't very keen on was the control for the water heating. They provided a manual but it still took us about half an hour to figure out the settings and had to readjust it daily as it resets itself which was a bit frustrating especially after a tiring day out. Maybe for the more technology inclined this would not be an issue. Other than that we had a really amazing stay and would highly recommend this place. ❤

  We paid £787 for 3 nights and expected more for our money.

  The shower room was tiny, the sink was too small for my husband to shave in. The extractor fan ran continually which was very noisy and disrupted our sleep. There was visible mould on the walls in the shower room. The room obviously needs an outside window. The bedroom was dark and depressing and we spent as little time in it as possible. The window in the bedroom opened into the entrance porch and was not an outside window (this was not accurately described in the property details), we were therefore unable to get any fresh air into the bedroom. The bedroom had visible mould growing on the walls and smelt of mildew. the owners were trying to address the problem by placing a dehumidifier in the bedroom which we were asked to keep on at all times apart from at night. The lounge/kitchen was a good size and well stocked, however the kitchen cupboards all smelt of mildew. The whole property was very clean and in a great location. We are frequent travellers and have stayed in many holiday cottages and certainly feel short changed on this one. This is the first time we have ever given negative feedback. We feel a partial refund is appropriate. We felt we paid far too much at £787 for 3 nights.

  This cottage is perfect, the outside seating area is pure tranquility especially in the morning listening to the birds.

  The kitchen and lounge area is spacious and extremely welcoming, clean and tidy. On arrival there was a welcome gift of Red Wine and speciality chocolates. The kitchen area was clean and even had tea, coffee etc provided for which we didn’t expect. Tom and Mary had sent us a welcoming text and a contact number if we needed anything at all. The beach is about a 15 minute walk away and is absolutely stunning especially at sunset, I would advise to walk down rather than driving down as the car parks get full very quickly. The local pub The Albion Arms are very friendly, recently they have changed to ordering via the App system which failed on the first night and left people waiting for over an hour, hopefully they have it sorted now. Overall the apartment is in a good location and is perfect for couples to escape to the quite village of Crantock. I would definitely recommend to friends and family and I would 100% stay there again.

  We arrived hoping to enjoy a week away to rest and relax .

  However we left after 4 nights as we could take no more. I’ll start with the positive Camborne is a great central location for exploring Cornwall. Close to station secure parking however this parking is in the building site. The accommodation is basically on a building site workmen in attached building from 6am banging and crashing around they may have well been at the foot of the shocking bed. Why has this not been addressed as I read recent reviews we are not the first to complain The accommodation was well below par. The bed was a disgrace. Lumpy well worn mattress pillows were terrible. Being on the top floor we understood the access via the stairs however if you are over 5 foot 2 you will not be able to use the kitchen comfortably. Lack of basic needs for cooking like oven gloves. Avoid at all costs totally Ruined our week away. Ended up booking into a hotel.

  The property was nicely decorated but lacked natural light especially the bedroom.

  You could not tell if it was day or night in the bedroom. All rooms needed lights on whatever time of day. Due lack of natural light & ventilation the property was damp. All our clothes felt damp, the bedding felt damp. When trying to dry towels & lycra swimwear in the garden, they were still damp after 2 days of warm & sunny weather. We like to self cater, but as the property was so depressing we either ate out or picnicked to avoid returning to the property. The photographs of the outside were very inaccurate & out of date. The property we stayed in was not pictured & was at the side in what seemed to be a separate building with a plastic corrugated roof adjoining the main property in the photograph which made the bedroom even darker.
