Very comfortable stay

This is a lovely property in a great location. It’s very well-equipped and a generous in size. It’s lovely to have sea views from both bedrooms as well as the living room. I really enjoyed the outdoor area with lovely furniture from which to enjoy the beautiful view. It was also great to have private parking in a secure area.

Mermaid’s Secret, The Sands, Carbis Bay.

Overall we enjoyed our stay in Mermaids Secret, The Sands. The flat is situated in a good position with both excellent views across the bay to St Ives and within a short walking distance of the train station. The flat itself is nicely furnished and well stocked with what would be required for a holiday let. There are two issues that I would like to bring to your attention. Firstly, when we arrived the flat had been cleaned but was dusty in some areas and surfaces looked like they had been cleaned with a damp cloth and left to dry with the cloth strokes left visible across all the surfaces and we had to clean this off. The second issue was that the shower head in the main bathroom was like trying to shower with a hosepipe rather than a shower. The shower in the en-suite was excellent. Please note I am not complaining but just alerting you to our findings / viewpoint for improvement purposes. We enjoyed our stay in the accommodation and would rate it highly.
