Paul “Lovely apartment and couldn’t fault the views but there are a few faults like the sofa bed in lounge far too low and uncomfortable to sit on.”
It needs a clock in the apartment and the windows need a good clean but would definitely come back
- Paul, August 2024Chris “Ideal location for beach,shops,restaurants and view,however,disappointed on our first night after a 7 hour drive, to find that apartment is attached to local Rock bar which has very loud live bands every other weekend until 2am,this is not mentioned in listing or other reviews.”
Property could do with a repaint & deep clean.We entered very soon after property had been cleaned and kitchen sides and microwave were left sticky & balcony glass covered in old bird poo & balcony not swept. General maintenance of communal areas lacking,hallways dirty & bin sheds overflowing although this is not the properties cleaning companies fault. Despite some of the above negatives, the property has a large fridge and freezer ideal for families choosing to eat in and a large dishwasher as well as washer/dryer combo. Balcony furniture needs updating but sitting listening to the waves each day/night out there was a highlight.
- Chris, August 2024Linsey “Just WOW this apartment was everything we wanted and absolutely stunning views, ...”
Just WOW this apartment was everything we wanted and absolutely stunning views, we spent most of our time when at the apartment on the balcony, it was so spacious and light, beds were so comfy and all facilities were perfect, only thing we didn’t have was the clothes airer but that didn’t matter (just wanted to mention) we just used the towel rails and tumble dryer…Thank you for a fabulous stay we would (and have) highly recommended and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again x
- Linsey, August 2024Michael “Had a fantastic week at the property The view from the property is stunning ...”
Had a fantastic week at the property The view from the property is stunning The only downside is the sofa bed in the living room as it is too low Apart from that I would recommend this property
- Michael, June 2024Andrew “There was a number of basic cleaning issues when arrived, coffee stains on cupboard, someone's sock with a load of dust under sofa, cobwebs in corner of window, patio table and chairs not wiped down, balcony glass and patio doors filthy, pile of sand stepped up in corner, that one strand of hair in the bathroom.”
Once we gave it a once over we enjoyed the apartment for what it is, amazing location with the perfect view. Would recommend
- Andrew, June 2024Brian “The day off arrival we were early so we parked up at the designated parking spot.”
My wife was rather desperate for a pee so we thought although early get chance to use the bathroom, I knocked on the door as house cleaning was there and I said is it possible to just use the loo. Well that was a red flag to a bull I'm cleaning you cannot come in I have the key shouted to me several times not before 3pm I have the key and slammed the door. Very rude and obnoxious person whose quality off cleaning very poor dust hair and nail cutting found also the microwave handle very sticky just a token clean by her. The flat dose have a good sea view but the place requires a make over just looking a bit tired. No cushions, one tea towel and the extraction fan to take your head off unless your a midget.
- Brian, May 2024Simon “Excellent apartment my wife is disabled and enjoyed just being able to sit and watch the view .”
only problem was the bed that zips together i could not get it zipped kept rolling into gap. To the people who complained about the dirty glass on the balcony do what i did use a cloth and sqeegy .We have already booked for later in the year
- Simon, March 2024Delia “Lovely property in a great location.”
The view was the highlight - watching the surfers, beach goers and the general beauty of the sea.
- Delia, February 2024Steven “Lovely apartment fantastic location fantastic views can't get a better view ...”
Lovely apartment fantastic location fantastic views can't get a better view anywhere the only downside was the cleanliness the windows and balcony glass was filthy kind of spoilt the view somewhat the apartment could do with a deep clean and a lick of paint looking a bit tired apart from that its a fantastic place
- Steven, September 2023Janet “What an amazing apartment with the most specular views!”
It has everything one would need to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. It is in a perfect location overlooking Towan beach which is a couple of minutes walk away. We would recommend this apartment without hesitation and we also would happily stay there again. There was a little mis-communication between Sykes and the housekeeping people but was quickly rectified by the lovely Tracey.
- Janet, June 2023Andrew “Fantastic views just needs the balcony glass and glass doors cleaning”
- Andrew, June 2023Caroline “Love it! Sofa bed broken and uncomfortable but who cares when you can sit on the balcony.”
Stayed twice now and will definitely return.
- Caroline, May 2023Lynn “Awesome view, beautiful apartment will be booking again.”
So close to access to shops, pubs, sea can’t fault it. Only gave 3 for maintenance as the latch was broken on the gate, no number on the keycode pad and no lock on our locker. Glazing amazing at blocking out noise from local night club. Thank you so much for renting out your property.
- Lynn, May 2023Philip “Unfortunately the following which we haven’t experienced in a Sykes Cottage before.”
1) Dishwasher not emptied 2) No dishwasher tablets supplied (supposed to be 7) 3) Cushions and carpets stained. 4) TV remote missing. Found after 3/4 days down back of settee. 5) No cleaning materials. 6) Sticky patches on work surfaces. Obviously not been cleaned. 7) Not been vacuumed.
- Philip, March 2023We are terribly sorry for the mistakes made by our cleaner & housekeeper. We have discussed these mistakes with our cleaner and agreed on improvements going forward. Following a call from guest about missing remote, which has been misplaced by previous guest, our housekeeper bought a new universal TV remote and delivered that to the flat. Our cleaner spent 2 hours cleaning prior to guest arrival. We also paid a separate window cleaner to clean all the windows. Additional cleaning material and products have now been replenished and provided. Property Owner
Diane “Lovely apartment, brilliant views, very clean and tidy, excellent location right in the heart of Newquay.”
- Diane, March 2023Jo “Could do with a deep clean - kitchen table, bathroom floor .”
Understand how difficult it is to keep the windows clean but they were all grubby. Sofa bed in lounge is not great to sit on but the apartment is good, well stocked and in great location . Private car park a real winner.
- Jo, February 2023Tim “The apartment was perfect.”
It has everything one would need to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. It is in a perfect location overlooking Towan beach which is a couple of minutes walk away. We would recommend this apartment without hesitation and we also would happily stay there again.
- Tim, February 2023Sonia “Perfect in every way!”
- Sonia, February 2023Robert “Sofa bed in living room was very uncomfortable to sit on.”
Extractor fan in main bathroom didn’t work. Not enough cutlery for a three course meal. Otherwise very well appointed apartment with great location.
- Robert, December 2022Gina “We were blown away by the quality and and standards at this apartment.”
The upkeep of the property scores 10/10. The views are amazing and the bed was as comfy as at home! We would happily move in for good! Not much else to say as it’s the best rental we have stopped in! Loved it!!
- Gina, November 2022Stevie “Wow!!!”
What a wonderful apartment with the most outstanding view…. Thank you we had a lovely stay
- Stevie, September 2022Robert “Good location very close to Towan beach with great views of the sea and beach.”
Overall the accommodation was good and we certainly enjoyed our week in Newquay, getting the benefit of a sunny week. We felt that the accommodation could benefit from a spruce up of utensils and crockery, many items were chipped and some of the basics were missing such as a bottle opener. Plus only a very basic supply of household items are provided and the tea, coffee and sugar should be filled up before each swap over. The accommodation though overall is very modern and a great base for the beach and exploring Newquay and the surrounding areas.
- Robert, August 2022Thank you for your comment. We have now bought new set of crockery to replace the old ones. Bought new bottle opener. Housekeeper is now making sure tea coffee and sugar are properly replenished. Property Owner

The apartment was amazing , the view is fantastic , it’s prefect location , it’s very clean , we will definitely come back
- Ghada, July 2022Kerry “Amazing apartment in an amazing location.”
- Kerry, May 2022Karen “Perfect location, amazing coastal views.”
Apartment is clean, tidy and comfortable. We had a very relaxing break.
- Karen, March 2022William “Great location and view, modern and clean, if a little clinical.”
Beds are small (for us) and not really comfortable. Well equipped kitchen - but please replace the baking trays with new ones, the current ones are a health hazard. Very difficult to find initially - better instructions on how to navigate the one way system first time would be helpful, even Google gets it wrong.
- William, December 2021Vicky “Beautiful property and great location.”
We would 100% recommend.
- Vicky, November 2021Caryl “We had a wonderful stay at Onshore 3.”
The apartment is beautiful, clean and has everything you will need during your stay. The view from the balcony is stunnimg. Could sit on the balcony for hours watching the view and listening to the waves. Perfect location in the middle of Newquay, it was also perfect to be able to explore other parts of Cornwall too. Would definitely recommend a stay here and we would love to return in the future.
- Caryl, October 2021Deborah “This apartment has the most breathtaking views over Towan beach.”
I didn’t want to leave. I’ve stayed in a Sykes apartment before and loved that too.
- Deborah, July 2021Stephanie “Perfect location.”
Good walks. Everything you could need within walking distance.
- Stephanie, June 2021Victoria “An amazing apartment with absolutely everything we needed.”
It was pristine, really comfortable and the views were stunning. We were really sad to leave and will definitely be returning next year!
- Victoria, June 2021Andrew “Apartment was really well presented and well equipped with a stunning view, ...”
Apartment was really well presented and well equipped with a stunning view, would definitely recommend would definitely return and private parking was also a massive plus
- Andrew, May 2021Mark “Really good centralised located apartment for reaching around either coast.”
- Mark, October 2020Paul “Nice clean apartment in the centre of Newquay, close to shops and bars.”
- Paul, August 2020Kevin “After staying in a lot of sykes cotages, this was a lovely view, but quite surprised that there was no welcome pack, yes we had 6 teabags, and enough for two coffee, and milk, perhaps we have been spoiled staying in previous places.”
3 dishwasher tablets, and enough washing up liquid to do 2 wash ups, 1 tea towel. and yes I did clean the windows myself, really surprised when we stayed another week, and not even a call to see if we needed anything.{ so all of the above was supposed to last two weeks]
- Kevin, February 2020Thomas “The booking was well handled by the staff and everything went smoothly.”
The appartment was spotless and well presented. When booking my next holiday you will be my first stop.
- Thomas, November 2019David “Apartment was lovely view fantastic well equipped &a bonus of having safe parking”
- David, September 2019John “Our stay at the apartment was excellent the view was particularly excellent plenty of places to visit and any amount of water sports.”
Obviously if you live in a place that has pubs and clubs you should expect a bit of noise at week end,but dont let it spoil the vacation. The apartment was clean and tidy and well situated.
- John, September 2019Rebecca “The apartment was superb, being spacious, well furnished and clean and tidy.”
The location was good with all local beaches and amenities within walking distance. For us this was important as we basically parked the car up for a week and relaxed. Parking at the premises was invaluable as there appears limited free roadside parking in Newquay. My only negative feedback is the location of public houses nearby. It was stated there were some within minutes and I think on one email approx 100 yards. There is in fact a pub adjoined to the flat we were in with a second next door to that, in effect right next door. Fortunately the adjoining pub was not popular therefore was quiet and we did not hear from it all week so had no effect upon our holiday. My concern would be if this changed as locals stated in previous years it has been loud and raucous. That scenario would have seriously affected our holiday quality.
- Rebecca, August 2019Zoe “The apartment was lovely and modern with everything we needed in the kitchen.”
The beds were comfortable with luxury bedlinen and towels. We had a fantastic week and the apartment is well located for the beach, town and restaurants. The only negatives were that there were not many mirrors (bathroom ones were too high for me and the children). It would be really useful to have a mirror in both bedrooms and at least one full length mirror. Also an airer for clothes to dry on would have been handy. Other than that it was perfect.
- Zoe, July 2019Thank you for your comment. The owner really appreciates your feedback. Following your feedback, the owner has now installed a full length mirror in the apartment. A new clothes airer has been provided. This is replacing a previous one which was broken by previous guests Property Owner
