We had an amazing week staying at Bay Retreats over Christmas! The place was lovely and the only thing that wouldve made it perfect was a rug in the living area. With two young kids who love playing with cars on the floor, the laminate was quite noisy and made us worry about disturbing the neighbours. Also, we noticed quite a few bulbs that needed replacing, but as it was Christmas, we didnt bother mentioning it to the staff and just made do with the other lights. The washing machine was a real lifesaver, especially with little ones around - honestly, its normally such a hassle on holiday, so that was a big bonus! Wed definitely go back.

The villa was lovely, but some furniture had wobbly legs and the shower wasnt as good as we hoped. Still, the location was perfect for sightseeing and super peaceful overall.

We really enjoyed our stay! Spent four nights in a lovely, modern villa that had everything we needed. The big windows were a highlight, perfect for letting in fresh air in the mornings. We hardly heard a thing from neighbouring villas, which was great. If I had to pick a downside, it would be the blinds in the bedroom; they didnt block out all the light, but thats probably just the window style. Overall, a lovely break!

The villa was charming, with a cosy little garden, but we did notice quite a bit of dust behind the sofa. A few kitchen utensils could do with replacing, though.

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely spot. The location is perfect-peaceful, close to the beaches and not far from Padstow, which was great for exploring. The place has a cosy, slightly vintage vibe, though it did feel a bit dated in places and there was a faint old smell that could be freshened up with a spray or diffuser before guests arrive. As its pet friendly, we did notice some dog hairs on the settee and chairs, which was a little off-putting, especially with our three-month-old baby. We needed to sterilise bottles using the microwave and dishwasher, but there was a dirty plate left inside the microwave, so cleaning standards could be improved. Overall, we had a lovely break, but a little more attention to cleaning and freshening up would make it even better. Its definitely worth considering!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Four nights in this beautiful, modern villa was just perfect. Its well-equipped and super comfortable. Loved opening the large windows for fresh morning air. Quiet neighbours made it even more relaxing. Definitely recommend!

We had an amazing week over Christmas at Bay Retreats! Honestly, the place was lovely and the only thing that couldve improved it was a small rug in the living room - with two young kids who love playing with cars on the floor, the laminate was a bit noisy and we didnt want to disturb the neighbours. A few bulbs were out in the villa, but we didnt bother mentioning it since it was Christmas and we managed fine with the other lights. The washing machine was a real lifesaver, especially with little ones - makes holidays so much easier when you dont have to worry about laundry. Wed definitely come back again!

The rooms were really clean and felt quite spacious, which was great for us. Everything we needed for a family holiday was there. Just a heads-up, the fire door between the kitchen and living room didnt shut properly-hope they fix it soon!

This place has such lovely accommodation! Its also so well located, really close to everything we needed. The rooms are clean, comfy and nicely decorated. Plus, the host was friendly and super helpful! We had a fantastic time staying here, can't wait to come back! Just a couple of small things we noticed, like the shower could use a bit of attention, but overall, it was a great experience.

We booked this holiday for a peaceful escape while still being near Padstow and the nearby areas and it turned out to be the perfect base. The accommodation was first class, clean and comfy and the park facilities were more than adequate for our needs as a couple. We're definitely planning to return for a longer stay soon, BRILL HOLIDAY! Thanks, Bay Retreat Villas.

The kitchen had plenty of utensils, perfect if you enjoy cooking. Tesco just around the corner for supplies. Walls had a few scuff marks, but nothing major. The front door was a bit tricky to close, couldve used some tweaking. Overall, quite happy!
