  The location of Constantine Bay Cottage is great; beautiful beach/coastline, YHA good for meals, close to Padstow, We’ve stayed at the Ocean Blue complex 4 times before, in different apartments, and been really impressed with all of them.

  However arrival at Constantine Bay Cottage was quite disappointing for the following reasons: 1. Floors hadn’t been cleaned properly- before unpacking we had to hoover the whole house. None of the corners/edges had been hoovered inc a large amount of dog hair in the main bedroom. 2. A used hair elastic was next to the main bed. 3. There was a welcome basket that contained only a used biro and a pot of drawing pins (no joke). When I moved the basket off the window sill there were dead flies underneath. 4. The outdoor area(s) clearly hadn’t been swept for a long time; covered in sand, cobwebs etc. In addition the bench seat was broken. 5. There were crumbs in some cupboards and mould running down the fridge seal. 6. Small thing - in every other self catering property we’ve always been left with a dishwasher tablet and a dish cloth. Nothing here so it was a good job I brought my own cleaning things. Our overall impression was of an uncared for property, yet charging a high price. Either the cleaners aren’t doing their job properly or they aren’t paid for enough time. It was disappointing (and annoying) to arrive and have to do so much cleaning. So, we’ll definitely be back to the Ocean Blue complex but definitely not to this cottage.

  Car parking was supposed to have been provided.

  It turned out that the "allocated space" was over 200 yards from the apartment and it was VERY tight (with a ford fiesta), plus you had to manoeuvre into it from the main road through Boscastle with one side being a blind bend. My husband is very good at parking but having knocked his wing mirror twice, he gave up using the space and used the public car park, which was chargeable from 10 am to 5 pm. To unload our car when we arrived, we were told we could use the double yellows outside the property, but this was taken with another vehicle so we were not able to do so. There was supposed to have been a garden - there wasn't. There was a small courtyard with planters at the front of the property, but this was for access to the whole building. The gate from this courtyard was straight out onto a main road,without pavement, so it was not safe for our daughter. The lounge from the property is partly below the level of the road, so you feel that you are in a basement. Immediately outside the window there was a cafe, so you felt that you needed to have the blind down the whole time to have some privacy. Both bedrooms overlooked the main road so we felt that we had no privacy and had to keep the blinds drawn.

  We love Cornwall & have stayed in a number of different places over the years however Mawgan Porth is just something special. It has everything you could need in very easy access & staying in Europa Court at Sandcastles makes it even easier! The place itself is well decorated & has always been clean whenever we have stayed there. It has a wonderful swimming pool to use & all the people we have come across while staying there have been lovely - including John who looks after the place. Mawgan Porth is stunning...the beautiful beach is less than 5 minute walk on the flat (important to note when in Cornwall) but also within that space you have a fun little crazy golf, several different food options including the wonderful Merrymoor Inn which is a family run independent pub that serves the best Sunday Carvery! There is also 2 different shops & coffee shop - in all it has everything you possible could need on your doorstep meaning that you can just chill & enjoy your surroundings!

  The apartment is spacious and comfortable with ample storage space.

  The parking area is good with room to manoeuvre larger cars. The staircase would be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues; the details should make clear that there are 39 steep granite steps up to the living area (22 steps to the apartment door and a further 17 inside). The provision of kitchen utensils is rather sparse eg no can opener, slotted spoons, trays, roasting tin and a few more mugs would be handy. Usually in holiday lets there is a file giving details about bin collections, instructions for the heating system, TV, WIFI code, local services and amenities etc but there is no information folder currently at this property. We found the apartment got very warm on sunny days (lucky us!) and we would have preferred lighter weight bedding to be available. That said, we had a very enjoyable week and would certainly recommend the apartment to others.

  All in all it was just Fab.

  .. few little details... would be great to have heated towel rail as hard to get towels dry... spatula for frying pan... less noisy fridge (made some odd noises) and as in same room as bed it was slightly annoying... plus the clock was loud so i took battery out! (I'm extra sensitive and notice even the slightest noise)... The bed would I feel be better round the other way as it was quite dominating in the room although it was very comfortable, or even put a screen to divide... also bed was close to fire surround and stubbed toes several times, ok with cushion on floor... sofa not so comfortable, but we adjusted cushions slightly... would be handy to have a mat for boots by the doors... anyway, these are just me being extra picky, and the artist in me, but feel it would improve the stay even more
