Date of stay: 25th June 2025
Terrible, definitely wouldnt go back. The only plus point was its location. Although there was lots of empty rooms with a balcony sea view, we were stuck at the back of the hotel in room 10 overlooking the forecourt and laundry. The site is completely non smoking but our room stunk of cigarettes. Didnt get an email to tell us where to pick our keys up, I had to phone several times before finally getting through to someone on the morning of our arrival. No staff on site to speak to. The apartment needed completely updating, the beds were really uncomfortable, we slept in the single beds on the second night because the mattres on the double bed was terrible.

Shower doors need serious attention before it falls off the rail and injures someone.

We stayed in apartment 8 and honestly, it was a lovely place. Everything looked freshly decorated and spotless. The twin beds were super comfy and the sofa bed was just as good - perfect for a relaxing stay. The apartment was quite spacious, which we appreciated. Not fussed about the balcony view since the hills near the car park were quite pretty too!

The accommodation was great for our needs, it had everything we needed for a five night break. Being 200yards from the beach was a perfect location. We thoroughly enjoyed walking along the clifts to see both sun rise and sunset. We were very close to Newquay which was like a five minute drive.

We stayed at this charming cottage on a working farm and honestly, it was perfect for a peaceful getaway. The privacy was great, even though the farm was active around us. The owners, Robert and Sharon, couldnt have been nicer. The place itself was really spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfy bed. The garden was lovely, dog-proof and had nice furniture for relaxing outside. Plenty of walks nearby and we enjoyed a few good meals in Thaxted-The Star and The Maypole being our favourites. Overall, wed definitely recommend it!

What a lovely stay! The owners were super friendly and helpful, especially when the power went out during the storm. The place was spotless, warm and really well kitted out. Our dog loved the garden and the hot tub was a bonus!

We had a lovely stay at this cosy spot nestled in a quiet, private area. The hosts were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, yet they respected our privacy completely. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day cycling - so relaxing! The only thing to keep in mind is that the cottage is close to Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us too much after a while, but if youre sensitive to noise, its worth noting. Overall, a great little escape!

We stayed at this place recently and honestly, its a gem. The house is super well equipped and kept us really warm, which was perfect given the rainy December weather. The bath was a lovely touch and the shower was big enough for two! The location is peaceful - no worries about the flight path, it didnt bother us at all. Perfect spot if your dog hates fireworks too, so quiet and beautiful. Thanks again!

Date of stay: 18th March 2024
We had a really lovely stay overall, though we couldnt believe how the weather only cleared up right after we left! A couple of things could make it even better - like having a tap outside to rinse off the sand before heading inside, which would save a lot of mess. And the Wi-Fi was a bit of a nightmare; we had no signal most of the time and really relied on it for emergencies, especially with a toddler. It was only decent at the front door. Still, wed definitely come back, fingers crossed for better weather next time!
