What our customers say about their holidays

  Prior to booking this lovely looking holiday home I did read the reviews.

  There are reviews from July 2023 that mention the poor cleanliness, thick spiders webs on the blinds and windows and overall maintenance issues such as lightbulbs not working, fan in one of the ensuite bathrooms not working. I was hopeful that the owners would have been made aware of these issues and they would have been addressed a year on from the posts. On arrival the house does look like the pictures on the Sykes site however once we were unpacked and "living" in the house it quickly became apparent that none of the issues that had been raised a year previous had been addressed. We ended up cleaning the areas we needed to whilst we were there. In the snug, we pulled the sofa bed out and found a vast amount of dust and dirt and had to brush and hoover it before we could clean it to pull the bed out. The decking is lovely however had not been cleaned and there was debris everywhere. One of the bathroom door handles upstairs came off in our hand and The flush was also dodgy. Don't get me wrong the house is lovely and spacious, there were 6 adults and 2 children and never felt cramped or overcrowded. It was lovely that on an evening we all sat at the dining room table for our meal. The shops in the village are handy and the walk to cawsand beach is only 20 mins away. The kitchen is well stocked with items you need, there was a lovely welcome hamper left for us and a bottle of prosecco which was a lovely thought.

  This property is lovely it was a shame the cleanliness let it down.

  The window blinds were thick with dust, the windows were covered in smears, the toilets were grubby behind the seat with the usual pubic hairs, my sisters room door handle kept falling off each time they opened or closed the door, the walk in showers I presume had been cleaned but the walls/floors were left with white smears all over them not a good sight. The welcome basket was a lovely touch so thanks you. The outside space is really lovely but again the decking had not been swept clean for our arrival. The amount of children’s toys and books was really great and kept our granddaughter amused no end. The location of the property was really good, so close to the local stores, takeaway and pub where the locals were so friendly. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were a good size with plenty of hanging space. On the whole we had a good time and the weather was kind to us. This property has all the space and facilities any one could ask for just a shame the attention to details let it down. X

  We were a party of 8 adults (2 families) and stayed for 4 nights.

  We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely like to return again in the future. It was a very nice, modern, spacious house, which was very well equipped and immaculate. The only thing that the men in the party complained about was that there were no pint glasses so their beer didn't taste quite the same in a tumbler or wine glass! We would definitely recommend this property. We felt very lucky to have been able to book this place at very short notice. It was convenient to have the shops and pub close by. We did walk to Cawsands and Kingsand (it's not that far but it's a bit hilly). We also visited Whitsand Bay, Looe, Fowey and caught the ferry from Cawsands to Plymouth. Also caught the bus from Plymouth back to Millbrook, the bus stop is just around the corner. So there are plenty of places to visit. We just wish we could have stayed longer.

  We have just spent a week at Iroko and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  The house is spacious with large comfortable rooms. There was a lovely welcome pack on our arrival with scones, cream and jam and was enjoyed sitting in the sun on the decking with a coffee. My grandaughter played with the toys that were in the dining area and loved the bubble chair. Good showers in the bathrooms, comfy beds and loads of towels provided and there was also a washer and tumble dryer to use. It's a small village location with excellent chip shop a couple of convenience stores and a small number of other little shops and two pubs only a couple of minutes walk away. A good base for Plymouth, via ferry and East Cornwall. We visited Downderry, Looe and Fowey which are not far away, and Mount Edgecombe is worth a visit. Would definitely recommend for large families.

  The property was absolutely stunning and looked just like the photos on arrival.

  The garden was a tranquil paradise, especially if you get lucky with the weather. The location, and amenities in the area were extremely convenient. There was a slight issue with heating which was resolved after some googling, but the property manager arrived promptly the next day to ensure everything was as expected. Everyone within our group thoroughly enjoyed their stay, while the little touches on arrival, such as a stocked fridge and wood for the fire presented a professional touch. Finally I have to say a huge thank you to Karen who helped us with various pre wedding recommendations due to last minute cancellations. Overall, the property and the property manager were 5 star across the board. Highly recommended, in a beautiful village and location in Cornwall.
