Well equipped apartment. Camborne is a very central town to explore West Cornwall. Train station under 10 min walk. We travel by train to St. Ives, Falmouth, Penzance so easy to use if you don't want to use the car. We had an issue but it was resolved by the owners very quickly. Do make sure you download the app before your holiday to access accommodation.

Property was clean and mosty stocked with equipment you'd need to cook, although adding some pasta bowls and an extra baking tray would be ideal. Bathroom is nice but has a bit of a old towel wet/damp smell to it unfortunately but relaxing big shower. Very nice stay, only downside which owners can't really help but worth bearing in mind if you are used to peace, noisy neighbours. Not sure if they live there or were on holiday but unfortunately we found they slammed the door constantly, it would even shake the bed! They had a child as well, it felt like they were using the property as a race track. The neighbours noise would be the only thing that would put me off returning, apart from that, very calm place, perfect for a little holiday. We had a few issues during our stay, the communication from Sykes when the electric went off was a bit disappointing, just had to wait and without notice electrician turned up. We also couldn't lock the door on the first day from the outside, but maintenance came the day after when I reported it and he adjusted the door and advised us to slam it. Just bare in mind if you have older or disabled people staying at the property they might struggle with this, I'd recommend the maintenance have another look to see if they can make it easier to just close.

My wife had taken her iPad for work use, and was unable to use it. The WiFi code was sent to us via email before we arrived at the apartment, but strangely, there was a different code in the âWelcome Bookâ on the table. Neither of them worked. After many calls to your office, nothing was resolved. No one got back to us for five days. We were told they couldnât contact the owner. Finally, just before we left, we were given yet another code, which unsurprisingly, also didnât work. To say that this was annoying would be an understatement, as we were spending our holiday time ringing the office because nobody at the office seemed to know what was going on. The staff appeared clueless. THE APARTMENT The TV in the kitchen had desaturated colour which we were unable to rectify, which rendered it virtually unwatchable. There were no pasta/ salad bowls, neither was there a large salad serving bowl. Very odd, and very strange heavily floral china! However, we did appreciate the excellent shower. The ironing board, iron and hairdryer for our use was helpful. We wonât be returning. Had we not had the WiFi fiasco, we would have had a much more enjoyable break.
