Quay House Reviews

Lesley

We had a lovely long weekend stay at the Quay House, it had everything we needed and more, we would highly recommend this property. Really appreciated the cream tea and other items left for us. Nice garden with plenty of seating, the hot tub was such a nice touch. Handy for everything in Charlestown.

Amanda

What a Wonderful Clean & Spacious Property. Well equipped with everything you could want for your holiday. Ideally located in beautiful Charlestown. Highly recommended.

Lovely comfortable house in beautiful Charlestown. Had an issue with both TVs one didn't work at all. Contacted the friendly owner who sorted issues out promptly the next day. The welcome folder did not contain any instructions for TV's, oven, heating, hot tub etc this was mentioned to owner as we think it's essential to understand how things work and would have been really helpful. There was no BBQ available in outside space which we expected, didn't want to bother owner again to ask.

Beautiful property with everything you need. Perfect location in a picturesque little town. Charlestown is so pretty and the local people really kind and helpful. The property itself was perfect for 4 adults, spacious and cosy, providing everything they we needed and more. The hot tub was a lovely bonus, set in a gorgeous garden. Definitely somewhere that we would return.

Lovely property which was well equipped and very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.

Virginie

Great property, felt very homely. It had all we needed for our stay. Perfect for our dog too with the enclosed garden and the hot tub was an added bonus. It would be nice to have a washing line or somewhere to dry the wet towelsswimming costume but other than that, we couldn't fault the property. Fab location with lots of coastal walks on your door step, and the choice of restaurants and pubs was ideal! We certainly tried a lot of them!

This is our second visit to Quay House and our 4th to a Sykes Property in the last year. We love this house its ideally situated, clean and well appointed. This stay we had a couple of maintenance issues but they were dealt with by the owner quickly. Luckily there were other options for us in the house. We sadly probably wont be back to Quay House as our visits have been celebrations for us and our family together but we would recommend it to all. Enjoy it as we have.

Andrew

Lovely cottage with a mini Dachshund secure dog friendly garden, yards from many ... Lovely cottage with a mini Dachshund secure dog friendly garden, yards from many restaurants around the historic tall ship harbour, Thanks for a lovely relaxing stay

A beautiful cottage in an amazing location. Excellent support from the owner & a wonderful stay. Thanks so much

Robert

Quay house is a wonderful place to unwind and relax. The facilities are superb and spacious with the added bonus of the hot tub. Great base for exploring Cornwall or just chilling and wandering down to the beach. Our dogs loved the garden and the under floor heating, which kept the house cosy and warm. One of the best home from home experiences.

Carole

Very comfortable and warm. Hot tub very welcome at the end of the day. Great location.

Stephen

Truely magnificent! Cottage is just a perfect blend of space, comfort and in a perfect location. The kitchen is very well equipped with utensils, pans and cutlery. Unfortunately for us, the Aga was out of action during our stay, so we sampled the excellent restaurants and cafes in Charlestown, all of which are within a 3 minute walk. The harbour and Coastal Path is a 2 minute walk away and perfect for walking the dog to Carlyon Beach and with the added bonus of a soak in the hot tub afterwards. We really did not want to leave and are already planning suitable dates for returning next year.

Cute house in a good position. Perfect for 4 people with a small dog. Appreciated the welcome gifts. Parking outside the house easy walk into the village and good access to the coastal paths. Plenty of good places to eat & drink can recommend Seaside, The Boathouse & The Pier House Hotel.

Matthew

Quay House is a wonderful property, very spacious and comfortable. There were 7 of with 2 dogs and we never felt cramped. The garden was lovely as was the hot tub. Charlestown harbour, beaches, pubs and restaurants wee all a 2 min walk away. We had a wonderful week.

Andrew

We had a very enjoyable holiday at Quay House. The property is located in a quite area of Charlestown, though still close to the main facilities on offer. On arrival we were provided with a very nice welcome pack. There is plenty of space to relax after a busy day. The kitchen had everything you would require on holiday, even the Aga was easy to use. The bedrooms were also spacious and comfy. Restaurants we recommend are Rebellion just opposite the property, Pier House and The Boathouse all provided a very good choice of meals. We had plenty of walks along the South West Coast Path, which is easily accessible from the house. Places we enjoyed were Fowey, Mevagissey, Bodmin Jail. We were very disappointed with The Lost Gardens of Heligan, very expensive entry fee for what was on offer. We would definitely stay again at Quay House and highly recommended it.

Saskia

A stunning cottage in the perfect location. We had a lovely week in Charlestown.

We have just returned from a very enjoyable 10 days in this lovely modernised traditional cottage in the perfect setting. Very handy for the town and harbour, plentiful amenities in the house the hot tub was well used and allowed us all to relax of an evening the kids loved it too! The beds are very comfy and the house had plenty of room for everyone we were a party of seven with two dogs. The house was very clean and was very welcoming to return to each day. We used all the restaurants in Charlestown and never turned the Aga on. I would recommend this property 100.

We had an amazing stay, the property is in a prime location with everything needed to ensure we were comfortable. It was like home from home but with a better view! we cant wait to book again!

Patricia

A lovely well equipped cottage in an amazing location and generous welcome pack. The beds were lovely and extremely comfortable. The only slight issue we had was there were no instructions to operate the heating. When rads switch is turned on on the timer in the kitchen they cannot be controlled by the room thermostat on the landing. When small bed radiator is turned completely off it still gets very hot. In order to the turn the upstairs radiators off you have to turn all the individual underfloor timers off in each ground floor room. And the Underfloor heating doesnt work in the lounge. We didnt contract the owner as we used a process of illumination as my brother in law is a heating engineer, however I think this needs attention. We were unable to work out how to get the terrestrial channels on the tv but this was not an issue but instructions would be useful.

Maggie

Loved everything about the cottage and garden. Location delightful and good weather always a bonus. The house had everything we needed. Great service all round thank you

We cannot the fault the property or location and our small query with the owner was quickly addressed. Everything we needed was there, including a generous welcome pack for our arrival. Cooking on the Aga was a new experience, but with the help of the supplied cookbooks to identify the hotter and cooler ovens, it was a joy. Happy memories of a wonderful holiday.

Quay house is a very comfortable holiday property. It is beautifully presented and has all the facilities needed for a vacation with friends. It is well positioned, particularly for eating out and it is a great base for dog walking. Despite the inclement weather the house was a lovely warm base from which to venture out.

Steven

The only issue we had was there there were no instructions on how to cook on the aga, we tried but the temperature was not high enough, I know that the cooking experience is different however it took half an hour to cook part cooked bread and then it was solid and not browned. I did not want to explore the workings for fear of causing damage. Other than this is was an excellent property. Perhaps another form of cooking, apart from a microwave would be a bonus.

Felicity

A superb holiday cottage. Lovely unexpectedly large garden. Comfortably furnished with everything you could need.

Samantha

The property was absolutely amazing! Welcome gifts are such a nice touch and so wellequipped. We will be back. Thank you!!
