Guests say
Gracelands is a well-regarded cottage in Hayle, praised for its cleanliness, peaceful leafy location, and modern amenities. Guests appreciate the attention to detail, the well-equipped space, and the thoughtful welcome pack. While some noted the bathroom size and dampness, the overall experience is positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Most guests found Gracelands to be very clean, with attention to detail in its upkeep. One review mentioned a smell of dampness and the presence of spider webs, but this seems to be an isolated comment.
The location is frequently described as peaceful, beautiful, and excellent for exploring West Cornwall. The proximity to good roads and local amenities was also highlighted.
The cottage is generally considered comfortable and beautifully decorated. However, some guests found the bathroom too small and the bedding damp, which affected their comfort.
Facilities are modern and the cottage is well-equipped, but some guests noted a lack of kitchen equipment and incorrect Wi-Fi information. There were also comments about the need for better information on how to use the heating system.
A welcome pack added a thoughtful touch to the guests' arrival, although it should be noted that such gestures are not guaranteed. The lack of consistent information about the site and its amenities suggests room for improvement in this area.

We all had a great stay at Gracelands. Kyley was very helpful and accommodating. The cottage was very well equipped and is in an excellent location. We found this cottage very clean and it’s clear, attention to detail is taken on its upkeep. The decking was ideal for a morning coffee and people watching. Overall an ideal base to explore West Cornwall. We would love to return in the future.

Lovely place and up to date facilities, but bathroom too small for us. Smelled damp and all bed sheets felt damp.
