Chy Fistral is a well-decorated and comfortable holiday cottage in Newquay, praised for its ideal location close to the beach and town. Guests appreciate the attention to detail, enclosed garden, and private parking. While some minor maintenance issues were noted, the property's overall charm and amenities have led to recommendations and return visits.

The property generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with mentions of it being spotless. However, there are isolated comments about dust, cobwebs, and a dirty kitchen floor, suggesting room for improvement.

The location is highly praised for its proximity to Fistral beach and the town centre, making it a convenient base for exploring Newquay and the Cornish coast.

Guests find the property very comfortable, with special mentions of the kitchen, bathrooms, and furniture. The safe enclosed garden and balcony add to the comfort level, though there is a mention of non-cotton bedding.

Facilities are generally well-received, with a fully equipped kitchen and electric car charger. However, there are reports of maintenance issues such as a problematic dishwasher, shower thermostat, and garden upkeep.

There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

    However, the kitchen floor was a little dirty (floor mop just moving dirt around and not cleaning). All the fronts and inside doors of the cupboards had finger prints from previous inhabitants. Although only a few items, I unloaded the previous inhabitants dishes. The washing machine rubber door seal was disgusting. It was thick with mould and gunk from numerous washes. Probably not been cleaned since the last time we were there. The bedding was not 100% cotton. For the amount paid for the week we should expect better quality bedding. Other than that we had a good holiday.
