Guests say
Gypsett is a cottage with a superb location in Fowey, praised for its proximity to the harbour and local amenities. Guests appreciate the traditional decor, cosy atmosphere with a log burner, and good hot water and shower pressure. However, there are concerns about cleanliness and maintenance that need addressing.
Multiple reviews indicate a significant need for a deep clean, with reports of dust, grime, and a persistent musty smell. The property's cleanliness is a recurring concern.
The cottage's location is consistently lauded as superb, with its close proximity to the harbour and village, making it a prime spot for guests.
The property is described as comfortable for basic needs with a cosy atmosphere, but there are complaints about dampness and the quality of the beds, suggesting room for improvement.
While the kitchen is noted as nice and the shower pressure good, there are issues with maintenance, such as difficulty opening the front door and a lack of essential kitchenware.
There is no mention of gifts or extra touches of thoughtfulness in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Not bad for price paid. Needs deep clean and updating. Lots of DIY required. Superb location though and comfortable for what we required.

This little property has the potential to be so good, as it is well located in the village, and someone once obviously put a lot of thought and care into decorating and furnishing, and it is fairly well equipped. However, it seems to have been badly neglected. The smell that has been reported several times in reviews persists - it is an overpowering musty smell which does not dissipate and needs investigating and addressing. The property was very, very dirty - greasy surfaces, thick layers of dust on skirtings, dirty floors, grubby furniture, mildew on the walls. It needs a thorough DEEP clean by a professional cleaning company. The outside area was very untidy with litter strewn about. It's a shame - as this property had received previous poor reviews, and it is still in a bad state, the conclusion has to be that the owners/management don't particularly care. We left early.

Cottage is a disgrace. How you can get anylettings in it I fail to comprehend. You certainly will not be getting any repeats. We couldn’t wait to move out. It is not just the state of the property. There is no maintenance, you can’t even open the front door without a struggle. The outside needs a clean and coat of paint. Internally it smells bad , it is not clean . The beds are horrendous. One of your people should be checking the state of the property you rent . I certainly will not be using your agency again.Robert Francis
