Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is generally praised for its cleanliness, with modern fittings and a new feel. However, minor issues such as the need for an extra wipe in the bath area were mentioned.
The location is deemed good for exploring Cornwall, with amenities within walking distance. However, some guests found the access road narrow and parking difficult.
The apartment offers a comfortable super king bed and a roll top bath, but some guests found the sofa and garden furniture uncomfortable. The presence of a secure garden is a plus for pet owners.
Facilities are adequate with a well-equipped kitchen, but guests reported missing items and maintenance issues like non-working windows and electrical sockets. The lack of privacy in the yard and absence of certain amenities were also noted.
Guests were delighted by the welcome hamper, which added a special touch to their stay. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every visit.

Had everything you would need. Ideal location as all the areas we visited where within a 30-40 minute drive. Just a shame about the car parking, was a building site so we struggled to park and never got to park in our dedicated parking space. The garden area would have looked nicer for some weeding, also a lot of rubbish kept blowing over from the building site/skips in the car park. But overall very lovely and would recommend.

Kitchen was well equipped but missing a very important corkscrew. Would definitely recommend as a base for touring Cornwall. Camborne, itself is not great, but not a major problem as we travelled out each day to other beautiful spots in Cornwall.

Excellent spot to go off and explore. Ample parking although cannot drive nose in to the gate had to do a 3 point turn each time. Ramp up to car park bottomed my car each time no matter how loaded the car was. Yard is overlooked by upstairs property and I did not feel comfortable to use the yard when neighbours were up on their glass balcony. I think some sort of privacy is needed. A large patio shade, sail or pergola. There is no airer or washing line so I bought my own and pegs which was easily strung up on the yard using fence posts and metal hooks already in the wall. Bath tub was a wonderful luxury for me. TV on a swivel so I could enjoy my show whilst soaking. Bath towels were fairly new and not good at drying. Could do with a taller wardrobe for long dresses and trousers but plenty of hangers and drawers. We took the dog; yard safe and secure for dogs. Not so happy about the laminate flooring but my dog would not wear doggy booties. A couple of extra runners would be good so that four legged friends can cross the room. Furniture seemed new but is flimsy. Sofa isnât so comfy for a long period of time for more than one person. Drawers beside the bed are not solid wood but ply board so do not overfill or put in heavy items. Bed had a topper which made it more comfortable and it was certainly needed after a full day out and about. We both slept well. Windows did not lock which was a worry to me in case of Burglar Bill. There appears to be cameras facing the gate and door to the property so this assured me. Kitchen is equipped, 3 small plates/bowls, 4 large plates. Lots of cutlery and utensils. 2 sauce pans, 1 large 1 little frying pan. Couple of tin sheet pans and plastic mixing bowls. Fridge needs shutting firmly or the alarm will beep. Super sensitive smoke or heat detector in the kitchen.
