Guests say
Guests consistently praise the property for its high standard of cleanliness, modern and stylish decor, and excellent location close to beaches and the village of St. Agnes. The property is well-equipped and considered ideal for both families and adult groups, with special appreciation for the welcome pack and dog-friendly amenities. Some minor issues with maintenance and facilities were noted, but overall experiences were very positive.
The property receives high commendation for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being spotless and well-maintained. One isolated incident regarding a bathroom drainage issue does not significantly impact the overall excellent feedback on cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to St. Agnes village, beaches, and coastal paths, offering stunning views and convenience. Some guests were surprised by the property being on an estate, but this did not detract significantly from the overall positive reception of the location.
Comfort is well-regarded, with the property providing ample space and facilities for relaxation. Some guests suggested additional fans for hot weather and a more enclosed garden for dogs, but these were minor points in otherwise glowing feedback about the property's comfort.
Facilities are generally considered excellent, with a few suggestions for improvements such as BBQ utensils, a colander, and more fans. The mention of a games room not being as advertised and a dishwasher issue were noted, but overall, guests were satisfied with the facilities provided.
While guests appreciated the welcome pack and dog beds, there is insufficient information to determine if such thoughtful gestures are consistent across all stays or if they are guaranteed. Therefore, a score cannot be accurately provided for thoughtfulness.

We were a family of 5 - 4 adults and 1 child and the house had everything you might need and more (including a microwave!). It was very comfortable and clean. It was also a lovely location just a short walk away from the centre of St Agnes and the coastal path.

Even with the issue we had, if it was resolved then the score would have been very high. However we checked in on Saturday, on Sunday we tried to use the main bathroom to bathe our baby daughter, but the water wouldnât drain out. Taking out the plug revealed months, probably years of filth. We had to try and take some out, handfuls of hair, dirt and grime just so the water would start draining, all be it very slow. No phone number for the owner just an email, which was sent with pictures, I also contacted Sykes who said someone would be out on the Monday to resolve it. Monday came still no reply from the owner and no one came to fix it Multiple more messages and emails all with no response Tuesday came - called Sykes - someone would come and sort it today - no one came More messages and emails - no response Thursday called and raised a complaint - still waiting - we cut our holiday short and left. The second bathroom was completely unusable in this time so we had 5 people all using the en-suite in the main bedroom for showers, and we had to resort to bathing our daughter in the sink!!! The lack of cleanliness was horrendous that it had got to that point, but the lack of care or even acknowledgment was the real issue. Also no microwave which made sterilising bottles more time consuming, but not the end of the world.

Idlewild 2 is furnished to a high standard with a touch of luxury. it is in a great area and location and we were all sad to leave it was like home from home and we would thoroughly reccommend this property to anybody. the restaurant called the Tap House close by in the village was excellent , as well as the amazing bakery ! Cant wait to return. Only thing missing was a microwave .
