Sunset View Reviews

Neulla
Nice little house with everything you need, excellent location close to Newquay, lovely to have a sea view. Was perfect for what we needed.
We really enjoyed our stay at Sunset View, this house is in an excellent and quiet location only a few minutes walk down to the beach. This property is very nice and clean, the views from the upstairs living room are amazing. It has good facilities overall and is pretty spacious. The living room upstairs is the highlight. We needed to contact the owner due to a minor issue, we found her very polite, friendly and helpful. We love Porth as it has a nice beach, opposite the beach we love Roo's beach coffee shop and clothes shop really friendly people. It is only a 20 minute walk across the coastal path or 1 mile in a car to get to Newquay.
We loved this place so much! Lovely location so close to porth beach but also close to other local beaches. Everything about this place was perfect
Stuart
We had a lovely week staying in Sunset View. The house was clean and in a great position to take in the views across Porth beach. We found everything we needed for a comfortable stay and particularly enjoyed the upstairs lounge and dining area. A special mention should be made to Claire the owner who was very attentive and always willing to help.
Eleanor
Amazing location , just a short walk to the beachfront Lovely layout and ... Amazing location , just a short walk to the beachfront Lovely layout and facilities Kitchen is well equipped and loads of storage too Watching the sunset from the lounge is perfect too
Great location, views of the sea were incredible! Weather wasn't great during our stay but we still made use of the decking area and hot tub which were lovely. A few suggestions. More supplies like bin bags, toilet roll and dishwasher tablets as there were 5 of us staying for 7 nights and only had 1 bin bag and 2 rolls of toilet roll. Bathroom could have been cleaner there was a bit of black mould round the edges of the bath. Overall it was a great place to stay and I would recommend just needs a few minor improvements.
This is the second time staying at the Sunset view, the first time was excellent hence why we booked it again this year. However, upon arrival it appears that the time taken to clean the property has been cut, or the cleaners are in the habit of cutting some corners. Some of the things we reported to Sykes was, dog faeces had been left on the decking area, mould found in the bottom of childrens cups and the cooker rings were dirty. Findind dog faeces on the decking area is totally unacceptable. I picked the mess up straight away as my 5 year old lad almost stepped in it. Sykes offered to come and clean the other issues however the cleaners arrived at 6pm whilst getting the kids ready for bed which wasnt convenient. During our stay we also found that the hot tub was full of dead woodlouse and had an oily film on the surface, giving the appearance it hadn'tbeen cleaned for a while. Again Sykes came round and cleaned the hot tub and refilled it, this was halfway through our holiday. Upon our last morning, and whilst cleaning up before leaving, my wife moved the door mat in the kitchen to sweep the floor. On doing so she found quite a few mouldy old crisps. It appeared previous occupants had swept their mess under the mat and the cleaner hadn't found them. Whilst I complained to Sykes at the beginning of our holiday, they were fast in rectifying the issues and they couldn't apologise enough. Whilst we had an enjoyable holiday, we won't be booking Sunset View for a third time.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This property is fantastic. It was comfy, it was clean, it was a few minute walk from the beach. I couldnt fault it. The upstairs living room has everything you need and even though we had drizzly days it still didnt affect us as we knew we had a comfy property to watch some films or play a few games in.
Nicola
Absolutely wonderful property. Ideal location. Will definitely be returning. Stunning views. Felt like home.
Bernard
Great stay at a lovely property in the perfect location. The view out over the local bay is beautiful.
Candice
A truly lovely place very peaceful and relaxing. Lovely welcome package including dog treats Absolutely spotless throughout The view is amazing I could sit and watch the sea all day. It was cold but we did brave the hot tub lovely while in and worth the cold dash in and out! Lots of nice pubs with good food within an easy walk most were dog friendly. We will definitely book again
Fab house, everything you could need for a self catering holiday. Absolutely amazing views and easy access to all the lovely beaches.
Lovely cottage, could do with a freshen up however the main thing for us was the hot tub, it may aswell not be there or get a decent jacuzzi hot tub, never warm enough and you can only fit 2 small people in. This is the only thing I can say would stop us coming back to sunset view.
Simone
Really lovely property. We had a great holiday. The property is one of the best we have stayed in. Like a home from home. Would highly recommend
We all had an amazing time staying at Sunset View, everything was spot on, local area and beaches were lovely, attention to detail was brilliant and thoughtful from a nice welcome pack to leaving dog treats and bed! ! Hot tub is worth getting going! Lovely views from the balcony, couldnt recommend more, wouldnt hesitate to book again!
Hayley
Lovely property in a fantastic location
Kiranjit
Great property in a fantastic location. The house was very nicely decorated and the view is very nice
Michael
Loved it you have a beautiful property. The view at sunset is unreal. Thanks!
Rebecca
Amazing stay at sunset view, everywhere was so clean and came with everything you needed, all the little extras like dishwasher tablets, cleaning products, milk scones etc were all very much appreciated, the shower was brilliant and my mum loved the log fire, it was the perfect base with everything you need provided,we really didnt want to leave! Only slight down side is the sideback garden not being secure for dogs although we had the decked area out back which was secure we had to keep putting them on the leads to take them to the grassed area of the garden for them to use the toilet, our only moan! Thank you for a fantastic stay
Amazing holiday home. We had the most wonderful stay. Everything was perfect!! So many thanks Xx
Lovely windy stay in Feb 22 half term. Stunning views, great log burner and short walk to a stunning beach for dog walks. Lovely accommodation.
Rachel
Fabulous little cottagehouse close to the beach and walkable distance to Newquay and watergate bay. Apartment clean and good amenities. We didnt use the hot tub as it took 2 hours to heat and had to be monitored. We didnt book for this facility so didnt impact on our holiday. Would definitely recommend.
Sunset view is a lovely property in a fantastic area, the views are amazing and there is a great walk to porth island which is on the doorstep along with porth beach. You are in easy distance to all attractions. The log burner and hot tub were amazing.
Sharon
Fantastic accommodation & location
Kirsty
Felt the house wasnt as clean as it should be. The floors in particular and also the high chair that we used for our son.
Cheryl
Fabulous house in a fabulous location, the view of the sea and the sunset is breathtaking. The house catered for all of our needs with excellent facilities, and a yummy welcome cream tea. Sitting in the hot tub and watching the sunset is a must and a fantastic feature of this beautiful house. Cant wait to stay again, highly recommend this property
Samantha
The views were just stunning!
Stunning location and just a quick stroll to a beautiful Sandy beach and nearest pub. Well equipped house with lovely outside space to relax, bbq, take in the views or soak on the hot tub. Spotlessly clean and comfortable couldnt ask for more. We had an amazing holiday, one to remember!
Rachel
Lovely accomodation and location, best place we have stayed in Cornwall
We really enjoyed our stay at Sunset View. We will certainly be going back! When we arrived there were scones clotted cream and jam.....delcious. The views from the living room were stunning and also relaxing in the hot tub was so nice. The house was clean and had everything you needed. The location was fantastic and also not too far for lottle day trips out in the car. The ow era were easy to get hold if had any questions. We had a lovely holiday!! Thank you!
The place is so lovely! the views from the upstairs window, the location, the bedrooms ... all of it was just super! o would definitely come back to stay here!
Carrie
Fantastic place, great location 5 minutes walk to Porth beach and within walking distance to Watergate Bay and Newquay town centre and other beaches. The view from the sitting room was absolutely stunning we were lucky enough the enjoy some wonderful sunset views which can also be enjoyed on the decking area. The property is really nicely presented, clean and tidy and very well equipped. The property is a good size with plenty of storage in the bedrooms. The welcome pack with scones, cream, jam and bread was a lovely touch. There were also some nice treats for the dogs which they loved!! The owners contacted us to check we were ok and enjoying our stay which was a really lovely. We used the hot tub a couple of times, instructions were easy to follow and it was so lovely to relax in after a long day at the beach and a wonderful addition. Plenty of outdoor space, there is a grass area to the side of the property but this is not fenced in so we were unable to let the dogs on there without being on the lead as it was next to the road but they did have plenty of space in the decked garden area. Off road parking for 2 cars at the front was really good. We had a wonderful holiday here and enjoyed it so much we are looking to book again next year!! Can highly recommend this property.
Sharon
Fantastic holiday cottage. Nice touch was bread, scones, jam & clotted cream left for us. Even a gift for our dogs of treats and squeaky toys!! Everything was there that we needed. Couldnt ask for more in the accommodation. Great holiday.
Just returned from a fantastic week at Sunset View. The house is well equipped and because of this we only ate out once, choosing to bbq most nights. We wanted a truly socially distanced holiday and you can certainly achieve this staying at Sunset View. Hot tub is amazing once you get into the swing of keeping the burner going. Loved it so much we are now seriously considering buying one! Its a short walk to Porth beach which is great for families and not overcrowded. The Mermaid pub gets good reviews and was busy everyday. Its in the evening back at the house which makes this place. The views are to die for and we were lucky to see a couple of beautiful sunsets and after a full day on the beach, the perfect way to relax in the evening. My only negative was the comfort of the beds. Investing in better quality mattresses in the double rooms would have made this holiday perfect. Dont get me wrong it didnt detract from the holiday overall but would have enhanced our stay. Thank you Ian and Claire for sharing your beautiful house. We very much hope to be back next year.
We are booked again for November. A few things were overlooked due to being out of season, o dishwasher tablets, no sharp knives that actually cut, no potato peeler, but we are realists and understand others may have taken these. Beautiful location, ease of access with cars, should be height warnings in upstairs lounge area, as every person staying hit their head. All in all a great location if you want to hide away in Porth and want the distance from town.
Sharon
Stunning views lovely location nice and peaceful place loved the log burner and hot tub
Our weekend away here was just perfect. The cottage is well equipped, with everything you need to hand. Inc all kitchen crockeryutensilswashing up stuffdishwasherdishwasher tabletswashing machineironironing boardkitchen rolltea towels linen bath towels... I could go on. We really didnt need to bring anything with us, just our own toiletries. On arrival there was milk and clotted cream in the fridge, and a basket with scones, bread, jam and tea waiting on the windowsill. Such lovely touches, that we werent expecting. The cottage is so homely, with personal items around the home which make you feel welcome Ie beautiful art work, unique lamps and candles. The cottage is a 5 minute walk to the nearest beach, which is just beautiful. We are lunch at The Mermaid. The food was fantastic, and we would definitely recommend grabbing some lunch there. The cottage was a perfect size for our family of 6, being able to socialise in the living area on the second floor allowed anyone who was sleeping to remain undisturbed downstairs. The owner was easily contactable, really putting us at ease during our stay, as we knew if we needed anything we could contact him. The log fire is just amazing, really makes the cottage cosy and warm. There were plenty of logs left for us at the cottage, but because we wanted to keep it burning for long periods we nipped to Aldi to pick up some more treated logs. A taxi to Newquay town centre took 5 mins and cost 9.50, and we were able to order a take away Indian from Newquay that delivered free of charge. We had a really lovely stay and would definitely come back. We will also be recommending this to our family who are looking for a summer holiday vacation. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home.
Lovely property, great location and beautiful views, had a great holiday, well equipped property, really enjoyed are stay.
This lovely holiday home was in a perfect location, 5 mins walk from the beachThe Mermaid Inn serving good food. A couple of days prior to arrival Sykes called to say the Hot tub had been broken by previous guests. We requested a partial refund, which unfortunately Sykes really didnt want to get involved with. After some insistence on my part they contacted Ian the owner who agreed to reimburse us a reasonable sum. We felt Sykes really didn't want to know goodness knows what would of happened had there been a bigger problem. Saying that really couldn't fault how the Owners dealt with us. Lovely sconescream on arrival and some lovely touches artwork. There were just a few MINOR things, which in our opinion would improve the house greatly. 1. A bit of a lack of utensils 2. Some sort of unobtrusive blinds would give the lounge a more cosy feel in Winter. 3. Felt the bedroom curtainspoles were a bit cheap and cheerful very thin and awkward to pull There was only on real thing I would mention, that is the single bedroom mattresses were awful. My 13 year old daughter could feel every spring, so much so, that we took sheet off and had found a couple of spare duvets to put on top of mattress which helped. Better quality mattresses needed!! We had a fantastic time and in all honesty it was just a shame about the bed. Would definitely return, just please invest in some new mattresses... would make all the difference.
