Wild Acres Reviews

Samuel
This place far exceeded our expectations. The views stretching across the Lizard Coast were nothing short of stunning. It's just a short walk to the beach and has a great outdoor area for eating or relaxing in the hot tub. If the weather turns, we would have no problem relaxing inside either. If we had one gripe, it would be that the path leading in is a bit of a hassle. 90 of it is fine, albeit bumpy, but all the issues were on that final slope. Even the 4x4s had problems gaining traction while making their way back up on the loose gravel. Our small hatchback managed to make it up, but with a slight push. Not essential but would be nice an outdoor shower to rinse off all the sand when you're making your way back from the beach or getting in and out of the hot tub. But that's certainly not a dealbreaker. All in all, this place was amazing for a group getaway, and despite the issue with the path in, we will certainly be returning next year.
Myself and 9 friends celebrated my 40th here and we had the most amazing experience. The views are spectacular and the bbqhot tub area makes the place even more special. We were very lucky with the weather which made the weekend more pleasant. Luckily we are all fit and healthy to cope with the steep rocky climb up to the house from the beach. I think the description of the house needs to include the level of exertion required by people, as some less able would struggle. I also think the place could include outdoor blankets for colder evenings by the bbq area. Unfortunately the narrow rocky lanes leading to the house meant that we couldn't get our cars up the lane during one afternoon as the stonesrocks became too loose and the car tyres were just spinning, meaning we couldn't leave the house. Despite this unfortunate incident, the maintenance people were very quick to correct this and brought a tractor to compress the road within hours of reporting it. We still feel like we had the most amazing experience at Wild Acres and would definitely return.
As per other reviews for this property getting to the property is a real pain and some cars would struggle with the road and the final slope. However once you get past that the journey is worth it. The setting is absolutely fantastic and the property very clean and spacious and absolutely ideal for a family holiday. It really is a special place. The outside is just wonderful and we were lucky enough to have the weather to utilise it. Lovely place.
We really enjoyed our stay at Wild Acres despite the wet weather! Our arrival was marred by sat nav taking us to wrong location, some miles away. I would recommend using Google maps and your notes should clarify that Gwentner Rd is that running through the village of Gwentner and the farm track leads off this. A sign there would be helpful or direct guests to follow signs to Trerenwith farm. The track is much worse than we expected, especially the last steep bit leading to the property. Given the weather, we had to use sun room as drying room for coats and boots. The back door was unusable due to large puddle. If you are accommodating 10 people , 6 single coat hooks and mugs is rather mean. Also more hooks needed in bathrooms for drying towels. 2 small towel rails is not enough. A few small things but spoiling an otherwise delightful property.
Absolutely wonderful
Stunning location but an SUV or 4x4 is absolutely needed to access the property. The 0.7 mile drive from the property is extremely bumpy uneven and not one youd want to do very often during your start.and we had a Jeep Wrangler. When the weather is as hot as it was during our visit, the conservatory is unbearable, blinds are needed here as well as in the living area. Handing areas are need, no where to hang clothes on the bedroom, no where to hang towels in the bedrooms bathrooms and no toilet roll holders. The walk down to the beach in inaccessible for some individuals, those with disabilities or elderly with walking issue, breathing difficulties will not cope well at all. The induction job is a nightmare, and very inconsistent temperamental. The oven also takes an extremely long time to come to temperature.
Sandra
Amazing views and setting. Cottage easy to use and all ran smoothly. Only comment is that crockery was fine for us as we were 4 would have been tougher for a larger group, especially the champagne glasses!
Ashleigh
Your General Feedback Would you like to provide feedback about the holiday property? This will be shared with the property owner. Beautifully located property with exquisite views of the ocean. Close walk to the beach. Clean, spacious and family friendly. Sad the barbecue was removed as the views and entertainment area are amazing for outdoor grilling. I requested baby items and there was a cot and high chair provided but no safety gate. Would suggest a safety gate be provided as the stairs are steep for children.
Yvonne
Thank you for letting us stay at your lovely cottage. We had a lovely time. We enjoyed the view it was stunning and great for the dogs too. Hot tub was amazing. Just a couple of things the access to the property is very difficult there are alot of pot holes and bushes were overgrown. Very steep hill coming down to the property. The property would benefit from having wardrobes in the downstairs bedrooms as theres only a chest of drawers. But the owners were lovely and the property is clean and tidy and well equiped. If access was better would have stayed again
