  Where do I begin?

  The place is amazing, Maureen is amazing, and it is very clear she adores dogs - our dog got the biggest welcome and was spoilt from the off with treats and toys. Each cottage has its own gate onto a large, shared field where you can walk your dog and play fetch - on our break, we had the field all to ourselves as none of our neighbours had a dog or at least, those that dig had other fields of their own. Considering pets are welcome the place is spotless. No dust, everything smelled lovely, fresh clean linen, perfectly clean bathroom and kitchen. Honestly, I cannot stress enough how clean the place was inside and out you'd have to see it to believe it. The attention to detail is fabulous too; a fire was already laid out in the hearth ready to light, we were welcomed with a cream tea and milk in the fridge. There were towels and dressing gowns available just for use with the hot tub. The hot tub itself was already nice and warm and we were given a lesson on its usage. The garden was lovely and peaceful. It catches the rays all day long too and there are sun lounges, tables and chairs a plenty to take advantage. For those who use it, the internet is fast; each cottage has its own Wi-Fi network, and it appears to use a microwave link back to the main house which has a near perfect performance. We happily stream 4K television while we were there, it never stuttered once. I did not test the latency, but I suspect it is low enough to game - not that I am suggesting you game while on holiday in Cornwall as there is plenty to do. If it helps, and for those who use it, the entrance is at; ///innovator.simulates.plug - I didn't see this on any of the sites - Google maps has the place listed correctly but for those who use alternative sat nav systems on their phones the above may help. Thank you Maureen for a superb visit. We hope to return one day.

  My husband and I booked decided to book this cottage so that we could take our dog with us, and wow, we certainly didn't expect such a high standard in a pet friendly cottage.

  We were welcomed with open arms by Maureen who owns the cottages, she showed us around and then left us to it, she came to check the hot tub daily, however she is clever with her timings and we we really didn't see that much of her. We had a beautiful cream tea and other goodies and essentials left by her to welcome us. This lady has thought of everything in her cottages, and you would be hard pushed to find something she hasn't. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen, and every room follows suit. The sofas, the bed, towels and linens are all quality, and certainly not what we expected when bringing our dog with us. The garden is private with a beautiful hot tub and access to a field via a gate in the garden, which was perfect to take our boy for a run in, he had a fantastic time here, there were dog bowls, blankets, towels, treats and a box of toys for him to play with, when I say everything has been thought of, it truly has. Although there are other cottages on this property, you would not think this, you can spend all day in your garden and not hear a thing apart from birds singing, peaceful and relaxing were the words my husband and I used regularly. There are some beautiful beaches around that are dog friendly and Truro is only a short drive away, there are ample places to visit, and the information pack that is left for you to read allows you to see all the beaches in Cornwall and if they are dog friendly, how close the different shops are and other information to help you have a wonderful stay. Would we return for another holiday? absolutely, we didn't want to leave and return to reality.

  Well where do I start, on arrival we found the key lock box old and in need of a new one, the front door and the mat full of dirt and cobwebs, entering the apartment the wood flooring was springy and the beading that goes on the wood flooring to the skirting was rotten, in the bed room we found cobwebs between the beds on the skirting which tells me that there is not much cleaning going on, and that showed all through the apartment, by the fridge there was a nail sticking out of the beading which is very dangerous and as we had our dog she could have caught herself, as for the cooker well there is no way we were going to use it as dirty and rusty, the armchair has seen better days, the Wi-Fi was very hit and miss, then we come to what I would call the main problem which is the sliding doors they did not close properly there was a big gap at the bottom where we had to put a tea towel to try and block the gap, on going out onto the decked balcony it has not been treated so it was like an ice rink when it got wet, looking at the guttering over the sliding doors it is all smashed which causes a big draft, the beds were ok but no brilliant, on a positive note the views from the balcony are stunning, it all really needs a good makeover, we have taken photos if you need to see what we mean, it did spoil a holiday as the pictures that a on your website look nice, but unfortunately it wasn’t, I hope we get a reply from yourselves or the owners, perhaps yourselves and/or the owners should pay a visit to check things out, as it is not worth the money we paid, very disappointing

  Had a wonderful week away over New Year despite the weather being dire.

  Be Our Guest is beautifully decorated and equipped and had everything we needed for us and our two little dogs. The garden is fully secure even for our tiny miniature dachshunds. We didn't use the dog walking field behind the cottage as unfortunately, our dogs are divas and don't do wet tummies. We didn't know how to access it, but Maureen soon showed us. We hadn't appreciated it was accessible from the garden. We only used the hot tub once as it was raining every other day, but it was lovely. The dogs loved the selection of toys Maureen had left but sadly they weren't able to eat the treats left for them as one of our dogs is on a special diet. Sofa is lovely and comfy as is the bed. We slept very well all week. Absolutely loved the bath! We had organised a food delivery which worked really well, they had no trouble finding the place. Only downside for us was we had got held up by traffic so we didn't arrive until after dark and got lost. Quick phone call to Maureen and she gave us directions. The outside light wasn't working either which made unpacking a challenge, but we didn't venture out after dark again so it wasn't an issue. We will return I am sure and hopefully in the better weather.

  We arrived on the Saturday, to a door and windows full of cob webs , once in, there was a socket loose in the hall way, The sink and toilet in the bathroom were clean (ya !

  !) the floor had ground in trainer print of what I can say was dog poo, which I scraped off and hopped it ( I didn’t want to get out the shower and stand on the floor.) The kitchen I spent 3 hours getting the hob clean so I could use it, the surfaces needed cleaning too. I bought a frying pan, because the one in the apartment, was caked with burnt on grease in side and out. There was No cleaning stuff in the apartment, (I bought some, which I bought home) we took photos and sent them on to the owner When I contacted the owner she did come out, next day, with 2 bags of cleaning stuff, and flowers for us to say sorry, for a bad start to our holiday. she did ask if we wanted a cleaner to come in, only problem was I had done it. In my opinion the apartment needs a rip out , and start again. The one thing I can say, is the views from apartment were to die for, the locals very friendly. I would holiday in the area again but Not at 16 Seaspray.
