What our customers say about their holidays

• The Halls, Bracknell - Verified booking

  It is not often the holiday let you view online is even better than the marketing pictures but that is the case with Seahorse Cottage - we booked it because the pictures made it look so lovely - but when we arrived it was even better. Beautifully kept with gorgeous nautical theme throughout. We must applaud the cleanliness, absolutely perfectly clean. Must also applaud the thoughtfulness for guests, every detail you can think of has been thought of. We could have packed less as apart from your clothes and some fresh food you don't need anything! I usually travel to self catering houses with my spice rack and cooking bits and pieces as we love to cook and I did this time along with the usuals - tea, coffee, dishwasher tablets, olive oil, salt and pepper etc - but the cupboards were stocked with all of these things (not to mention a scones upon arrival!) The house even had washing tablets if you need to do a wash while away. The other most important thing to us was how family friendly the house was. The attention to detail was very appreciated. When we arrived we thought it was going to be very difficult to watch our little 17 month old boy 100% of the time to ensure he didn't fall down the quite steep steps but under the stairs there were pressure fix stair gates that you can just put up if you need them. Not to mention a toy box full of toys, beach toys for outside, books and dvds for all ages. We brought along some books and toys for our little one but we didn't need to. There is even a buggy for you to use should you need that. The details didn't go unnoticed and made all the difference - White Company bed linen, Denby crockery, good quality cooking pans and utensils. All very appreciated! The location of the cottage is so quiet (apart from the seagulls!) It is just a 2 min walk to the harbour and all the little tearooms. We thought Mousehole was a beautiful little village and would definitely go back again. The harbour is gorgeous and very quaint. Thank you to the owners of Seahorse cottage for making our stay so comfortable and homely!

  This is a lovely cottage, with all of the home comforts to make our stay enjoyable.

  There were 2 issues, one of which was within the control of the owner and the other not. Parking was an problem. Shortly after arrival, we found a parking space right outside the cottage. However the 1st time we went out in the car, we lost it and were never able to regain it. This meant for the rest of the week the car was left in restricted parking areas, but fortunately we did not get a ticket! The other issue was there were areas, in particular under the beds, where the cleaning left a little to be desired - it looked a little rushed. The bedding and soft furnishings were impeccable, but the general cleaning left us wondering how much attention had been given to the current pandemic. Having said that, we all very much enjoyed our stay at Mackerel Sky.

  We were a bit worried about a previous report that it was not as clean as it could have been.

  We did not find this to be the case. The house was also very well appointed and lots of thought gone into the decor to make this an attractive and comfortable holiday home. I cannot think of any facility that was lacking. Beautiful bathroom. It was in a residential area, close to the station and all that Penzance has to offer. We parked in the road and did not use the car for the time we were there. Walked to Mousehole and took the stunning rail journey up to St Ives. Large living space for 5 people. Did not use sauna or laundry facilities at the back of the house, but they looked in good order. Can recommend if you don’t mind being away from the seafront.

  Our first visit to Penzance and it couldn’t have been better.

  We had a wonderfully relaxing break at Mackerel Sky. The house is comfortable, with plenty of space and well equipped. Everything you need for a great break. The location is perfect for exploring the area with great coastal walks. It was great to come back and make use of the sauna too. Also so convenient for walking into town and all the shops, pubs and restaurants. We were fortunate to get a parking space on the day we arrived and we didn’t move the car once…didn’t need to, so much to do within walking distance. The voucher for Mackerel Sky Seafood bar in Newlyn was most welcome and we had a fantastic meal there. All in all a super week. Thank you.

  The property was lovely, large and would easily accommodate more people than our party.

  We have already recommended it to friends of ours. It was clean and facilities were great, we spent 2 evenings playing board games infront of the fire when the weather wasn’t great. Perfect base for visiting beaches, St Ives and Lands End. The only issue was parking. We had a space one day but lost that as soon as we left. The other times I parked in streets close by, the listing did say no parking so it didn’t bother us but may be worth bearing in mind if others don’t feel comfortable parking their car in other streets.
