“Our stay was unfortunately interrupted by 2 issues.”

1) The en-suite shower leaked into downstairs number 5. Apparently this had been reported before and even I could see after the complaint that the mastic and grouting looked in disrepair. 2)The next morning the hot water ran out and 1 guest had no shower. With my experience I could tell by the fault code that the pressure was too low and that needed to be increased by finding the right connections to release more water into the system to get the bars above the minimum. This resolved the issue ...

1) The en-suite shower leaked into downstairs number 5.

With my experience I could tell by the fault code that the pressure was too low and that needed to be increased by finding the right connections to release more water into the system to get the bars above the minimum. This resolved the issue after finding the right place. A call was still made to ensure everything was done correctly and the system safe for us and future guests. This situation should not arise and a changeover maintenance check conducted. So disappointed in these respects but fair play to Sykes the call outs and maintenance support was pretty good

“What an absolutely beautiful apartment this is.”

You could sit in the chair and look at the view for a week it is so relaxing here, we slept like babies from the comfort and also the sea air. There’s everything you could need here from comfort to all the kitchen utensils, lovely white bedding and plenty of fresh white towels. There is one tiny thing I could mention and that is maybe WD40 the window and door hinges they’re a bit stiff. Also I should mention there’s no noise from surrounding apartments this must be a good insulated building. Thankyou for the milk, scones, jam and cream, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and bin bags you thought of everything. It was a pleasure to stay in such a beautiful place Thankyou.

“Had a fab stay here and the view was amazing!”

Apartment was very clean and comfortable with some fantastic walks on your doorstep. Fresh scones, cream and jam was a lovely welcome and very much enjoyed. Only very minor negative comment would be that it would have been good to include hand soap for the toilets. Other than that I had everything I needed for a great stay. Will definitely return.

“Reluctant to leave very positive feedback (in a way) in the selfish hope that other people leave it free for us to come again!”

!!! Can't fault the place, the view is amazing the position is perfect, parking excellent the standard/quality of the apartment is very good. The pictures REALLY don't do it justice as I think someone else commented. Only negative I could say is the bedrooms face onto the road so can be noisy from passing road traffic but other than that can't find fault. Thank you to the owners for a perfect stay in a perfect apartment in a perfect location. We will be back!

“This apartment is really lovely and far better than the pictures show.”

The settee and bean bag are really comfy but they don’t look it in the photo. The apartment was spotless & very well equipped. In a recent review someone mentioned dirty windows but when we arrived they were clean. However, following a storm the glass balcony & patio doors were covered in spray and salt but the owners have provided an electric Kartcher window cleaner so within minutes they were clean again & we could enjoy the stunning view, again the photos don’t do the view justice. Will definitely book again.

- Tracey, October 2022
Herbert October 2022

“The only drawback to our experience was the fact that the apartment had a very good balcony overlooking beauty full views over the beach, but we were unable to use it due to the locks to the doors were inoperable.”

The lock’s handles had been damaged and no longer operated the mechanisms. As a couple with a combined age of 177 years one of which is rather short, we think a footstool would make using both the microwave and high cupboards more easily accessible also a list of local chemists, vets etc would be a helpful addition to the data provided.

- Herbert, October 2022

Thank you for your feedback. Since your booking the doors have been checked and they are working fine. Many thanks for bringing this to our attention. Property Owner

“Overall, quite disappointing, given the excellent reviews on the website.”

The main attraction is the view over Fistral beach. Unfortunately, the patio doors were FILTHY; clearly, they had not been cleaned for months with children's greasy finger marks including 'mum' written on the window as well as bird excrement. Ironically, all the other windows were spotless and were cleaned whilst we were there, but not the patio windows. We struggled with the heating controls - it was very difficult to get the room temperature below 25C, even at 4am at night in the bedroom! Given the energy crisis not very sensible. Some proper instructions would have been helpful, or the contact number of someone local who could help. Overall, the apartment was very well appointed; the massive collection of DVDs was excellent (particularly given that the weather was not very kind to us) the addition of some egg cups and another saucepan would have been welcomed. We did not find the (stained) settee very comfortable at all.

- Nigel, September 2022

Hello, the windows are cleaned weekly by the housekeepers but because of the position of the property and the sea spray they do get dirty again quickly. We are sorry about this. A Karcher window cleaner was provided for other guests in response to this same problem. Property Owner
Donna August 2022

“Wonderful stay!”

! What a beautifully appointed apartment. Fabulous views of the beach, spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. All mod cons including an Alexa and a Google tablet which were nice little touches. Very peaceful yet a 5 minute stroll from the beach. Beds extremely comfortable and so quiet at night. We have already looked to book again next year and it has already been taken, damn it!! :)

“Just missing a hairdryer.”

Otherwise, perfect.

Jim June 2022

“This is an excellent property with fabulous views.”

The facilities are good but it would have been helpful if there were instruction manuals for the oven and the dishwasher. We also had to seek help when trying to connect to the Internet. The information in the Helpful Holidays folder was incorrect, and needs to be updated. The hub in the bedroom was very disturbing at night with all the flashing lights. The balcony doors were difficult to open and heavy, and the balcony was dirty with cobwebs. However, we did have a lovely holiday!

Stephen May 2022

“We really enjoyed our week long stay at this modern, spacious, well equipped apartment with amazing views of fistral beach.”

There are 2 large bedrooms, 1 en-suite and a master bathroom. The main living area consists of a large kitchen, dining area, lounge and contains everything you need for your stay including WiFi, although we did have to turn the router off at night because it lit the bedroom up. A lovely touch was the scones, clotted cream and jam left for us on arrival. Great location, views and high quality equipment make this apartment easy to recommend and we would definitely return.

- Stephen, May 2022
Brian May 2022

“Fantastic apartment view is best thing waking up to every morning.”

Very clean & tidy . We have a king size bed so this smaller bed obviously didnt feel the same but still a nice bed & only other thing I struggled with was the oven & hob I could only get 1 ring to work at first front left then after 20 minutes got back right to work after watching YouTube. So a manual on how to work cooker would help. Still give 10/10 & hi recommend it everyone who's thinking about booking it .

- Brian, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear you liked Flat 8 Seascape and you had a nice stay. Following your comment the housekeeping team is updating the welcome booklet with more information so future guests will be able to use the appliances without having to look at videos. We hope you will visit Flat 8 Seascape again for more lovely holidays. Property Owner
Alan April 2022

“Really good value for money .”

Very spacious accommodation. The settee was comfortable ! Previous reviews were negative about the furniture .My biggest problem was not being familiar with induction hobs and a modern oven . Could the freezer be defrosted. Left a note in the visitor book !

- Alan, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy you had a nice stay and you enjoyed Flat 8 Seascape. The housekeeping team has defrosted the freezer and now is working correctly. We hope you will visit Flat 8 Seascape again in the future. Property Owner

“When we walked in we had the 'wow' moment, the view from the open plan room is divine, it took us a while to stop smiling.”

The layout is great for a family with the two bathrooms and communal living space. We used the kitchen every evening for a meal and everything was there that we needed and more. The beds are comfortable and the water hot for a shower. The room temperature was warm so when we got back from a windswept day out we warmed up very nicely. Enough storage, not too much noise from upstairs, great to have a parking space, I would buy this apartment we liked it so much. Didn't get Time.to try the Seaspray beach cafe - gutted, we will have to come back :))

“Comfortable well equipped apartment with great view.”

Good place to watch surfers.. Very sunny bedroom. Convenient for Fistral Beach and the facilities at that end of Newquay, as well as scenic local walks.

- Kathryn, September 2021
Margaret September 2021

“Clean and well equipped apartment.”

Fabulous view of Fistral Beach-surfers, sunrises and sunsets sitting on the balcony. Very useful having designated car parking space.Cornwall never fails to enchant the visitor.

- Margaret, September 2021
Rosemary October 2020

“The flat was outstanding and we enjoyed the views through the picture windows beyond measure - perfect for a relaxing holidays and always something new to see.”

The position of the flat is perfect for access to the beach and cliff top walks. All in all a great holiday with every comfort provided in the flat - highly recommended.

Bev July 2020

“Absolutely loved staying at this beautiful apartment.”

My husband and teenage daughters along with myself were so happy when we arrived and it was every bit (and more) than we were hoping it would be. Definitely want to stay again, so pleased we were lucky enough to stay here x

- Bev, July 2020
Alison July 2020

“This is a really lovely apartment, very clean and well appointed.”

The location is excellent and the views are magnificent. We would stay here again without hesitation if it were not for the really uncomfortable sofa, dining and balcony chairs. To sink into a comfy chair or sofa at the end of a busy beach day or after a long walk would have made the apartment perfect.

- Alison, July 2020
Sally September 2019

“Scones, jam and cream a nice touch also the milk in the fridge.”

Stunning apartment with amazing views of Fistral beach. Excellent facilities everything thought of, really clean and well presented. Lots of nice touches the Sonos sound system and Alexa. Great to have a dedicated covered parking space with secure access to the building. Very easy to explore the local area, Fistral beach a few minutes walk and the coastal path close by giving access to Newquay and the Pentire Headland. We are missing that fabulous view and would definitely return.

- Sally, September 2019
Diane September 2019

“Stunning, comfortable excellent apartment with amazing view of fistral beach.”

Excellent facilities, really clean, great to have our own parking space, easy access to fistral beach and enjoyed walk into town. Will definitely be using Sykes holiday cottages again.

Julie August 2019

“There was a ‘ cleaning issue’ on arrival date which meant we didn’t get into the flat till 5pm.”

Also, there was very little info on appliances so a basic guide booklet would have been useful Apart from this, very enjoyable holiday

- Julie, August 2019
Abigail August 2019

“Lovely place to stay with a beautiful sea view.”

Easy to walk to town, beaches, pubs and restaurants as well as accessing the coastal path. The flat has all of the essentials for a holiday and we were even greeted with scones, jam and cream on our arrival - delicious.

- Abigail, August 2019
Michael July 2019

“Absolute fantastic holiday apartment.”

Great location and stunning views! Every thing you could ever need and more when you are away. So many good points its hard to think where to start! Washing machine was a godsend. Kitchen had every item we could wish for, on the couple of evenings when we stayed in and cooked. Great showers - plenty of hot water at all times of the day. Nice touch of the PS3 and games & huge selection of DVD's should the weather turn rubbish. Fistral beach is 5mins walk from the apartment and if you follow the coast path along its length, you'll find three great places to eat and drink! Large covered parking space for your car with secure access straight into the building and an internal lift that will get you up to the apartment if you don't fancy the stairs. Overall a great modern, clean and beautiful presented apartment - kudos to the owners! I honestly doubt you'd find a better place to stay!

“We absolutely loved the flat.”

It was modern and spotless. The view was fantastic and I’m going to miss it. It had everything we needed and more. Surf boarders heaven. I’m 52 and loved surfing. We visited some National Trust places, St Ives, Lands end. The scones and milk were a very nice touch Thankyou x

Grazyna April 2019

“A lovely, modern, clean, well-equipped, comfortable apartment with sensational views of Fistral Beach.”

I have a few suggestions though. A week's supply of toilet paper should have been left in the cupboard, not just one roll in each bathroom, considering the price we are paying to stay there, in a hotel, loo paper is always resupplied. One of the loo seats had not been properly cleaned, I guess that was just an oversight as the rest of the flat was nearly spotless. The flat really could do with better balcony furniture, like a rattan style set, a proper table and four comfortable chairs (as it is accommodation for four) so that the outdoor space could be enjoyed more, especially in the summer. The current plastic table and two red chairs on the balcony look unsightly and spoil the view. It would also be nice if the balcony glass panels were cleaned before our arrival so we would have a clear view of the beach. We did not find the flat particularly drafty, (we had a cold NW gale blowing), the doors have to be shut fully tight, otherwise the wind will get in, actually we found the flat can get too warm!

- Grazyna, April 2019
Lynne October 2018

“The photograph must have been taken with a very good zoom camera very deceptive.”

Apartment was very clean but a sterile feeling and not for us I am afraid. Large windows in the lounge are draughty and a couple of nights we went to bed by 8.30 to keep warm. If I had have known how cold it was I would have taken throws. I appreciate it was October but I do feel the windows need attention.

- Lynne, October 2018
Carol September 2018

“We came to Newquay by train and used taxis and buses.”

It was very doable with plenty of excellent restaurants within walking distance. We walked some of the SW coastal paths which were truly beautiful.

- Carol, September 2018
Ed August 2018

“Excellent appartment.”

However, WiFi falls short, extremely slow!

- Ed, August 2018
Katrina July 2018

“I had to contact helpful holidays to find out when balance was due.”

For some reason I didn’t get an email. It may be an idea to make sure a later reminder goes out as this used to be the case by paper. The apartment was in an excellent location. It’s main asset is the location and the amazing view. Well furnished but would benefit from a hairdryer being provided which is standard in most holiday let’s. Lovely gesture was the cream tea provided.

- Katrina, July 2018
Stephen June 2018

“We had a lovely week at Flat 8 Seascape.”

The view is amazing and is second to none! The apartment is clean tidy and beautifully decorated. We will definitely be booking again, we can’t wait to get back for that view!

- Stephen, June 2018
Matthew May 2018

“The property is fantastically located (with amazing views) just a short walk from Fistral beach and within reasonable walking distance of the town centre.”

In addition, the property is very well equipped and was spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend!
