The hill up and down to the coast path is not a problem for us. The house is well appointed with everything we needed for our holiday. We didn't use the outside yard as it was November and didn't need to sit outside. We did look outside and there was a lot of moss from the roof on the path. The furniture on the balcony upstairs has some moss growing out of the corners and the glass around the balcony could do with a clean. The upstairs bedroom would definitely benefit from curtains rather than the vertical blinds. It just let's in a little too much light. I know in the property description it explains about the PIN on the Sky but we tried to watch a 15 rated film at 7.30pm but couldn't and are people who go to bed around 9pm so couldn't benefit of Sky. I would like some means of being able to facilitate watching the movies. Having said all that it was a really nice place and we enjoyed our stay.

My sonâs white socks were dirty after playing in the upstairs bedroom! We spent river 10 minutes on the phone to Sykes trying to find out about recycling at the property and they couldnât answer, we also turned the power off on the tv and when we turned it back on we couldnât access the sky tv channels and Sykes would not rectify this. The furniture is the property is obviously now very worn and could probably do with cleaning. There was work being carried out in the next door property whilst we were there which was loud and we were not informed of

Comfortable well equipped modern property with all you could need for home from home. Supplies of coffee tea and sugar and biscuits were great. Ideal for walking down to beach and along coast path to St Ives. Down sides there's a problem with mould on ceilings in en suite upstairs despite having fan on and in downstairs bedroom. It had obviously been wiped before we arrived but again developed over the week. The extracter fan was greasy and dusty and clearly hadn't been wiped over. There were also dog hairs that had not been hoovered up before our arrival not helped by the hoover not working properly with the vent missing a cover and not having the correct fitting for carpet. Areas on the sofa had been cleaned and were wet on arrival. Property would benefit from curtains in bedroom. Would I stay again? Yes but think cleanliness and the mould need to be addressed.
