“Pro’s: ideal position, near beach.”
Roomy patio to sit and sea watch.
Bed v.comfortable. Well equipped kitchen(. Perhaps a bit too much, definately a cooks kitchen). Comfortable temperature. All on one level. Near Penzance and Helston for shopping.
Cons: minute en suite, couldnt use. No extractor in bathroom for steam, smells etc, had to leave door permanently wedged open. Opening windows in bedroom were side window only, so not too safe to leave open all night as on groun d floor, but had to,as so stuffy. No welcome pack, just small milk, bottle wine. Literature in prop states “tea, coffee, milk, sugar and bread. J cloth, sponge washing up liquid ( no washing up bowl), dishwasher tablets, roll bin liners. There is also a complimentary welcome pack of Cornish produce and bottle of wine for you to enjoy”
One other irritation: no cupboard space left in kitchen cupboards for groceries, tins etc????? All full of stuff.
In all , a bit disappointing, as it would have been perfect for less able bodied people, as all on one level, but the bathroom shower was over a very difficult to get in bath. I have the bruises to show for it after manoeuvring around taps! Arthritic legs don't bend or go climbing very well, this is where the walk in en suite was going to be more useful to us, but is was incredibly tiny. The rooms were all roomy, so we could not understand this tiny shower, which at best would possibly accommodate a child!
I must say this was our first Sykes property rental, and Ill probably never hear the end of the missing wellcome pack and Cornish cream tea, from my other half as he was told before we went from regular renters of yours that there would be cream tea waiting!
Thank you so much for your well-considered and lengthy review. I am glad to hear that you found the beds comfortable and the location suitable. I would just like to respond to some of the misunderstandings. Firstly, we do not advertise a cream tea and have never provided cream tea as part of the welcome pack, especially as there is wonderful café about 200 yards around the corner who do an excellent, authentic Cornish cream tea. I do understand that the bathrooms are not set up for people with disabilities, the architect constructed the second shower room in the main bedroom to maximise space in what is a two bedroomed apartment. The second shower room is probably more valuable to families with young children.
