All you need for a short break. Great to use to explore the St Ives area…. There’s a bus to all parts at the entrance. Didn’t use the entertainment on site but looked clean and tidy.

Very cozy

Tina’s home was tidy and cozy, just perfect for our little holiday. The holiday village was lovely, with playgrounds and various amenities. Convenient distance to wonderful beaches and restaurants. Tina was thoughtful and helpful, even left special treats for our children for Easter. We would stay again!

Fabulous

Thanks so much Tina, we had an absolutely fantastic 5 night break away at Seagull’s Rest. The property itself is really lovely, super cosy and was absolutely spotless. Lots of attention to detail and even a hamper of essentials was provided for the pooch. The woodland grounds are equally as nice, with lots of squirrels and birds right on the doorstep. It was so quiet and peaceful and was the perfect base for our travels around Cornwall. We couldn’t have booked anywhere better for what we needed. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

The property was superbly equipped, exceptionally clean and just perfect for our short break. Set in woodlands, we saw a squirrel each day and birds in the trees! It was altogether peaceful and good four souls! Many thanks to Tina

Seagulls rest

Overall it was ok. If definitely was not a 10 rating. The WiFi was spotty. I tried to call the host and I could not hear her. There needs to be more instructions on how to work things like the shower, the heater, and the doors are horrible to unlock. Two keys to unlock the doors leading into the unit. The unit was clean. The beds were comfortable enough.

So many things amiss with this property. My friend and I stayed for 3 nights she had the double room and I had the twin room. My bed was so uncomfortable the mattress was old and springs could be felt. It had been covered in several layers of bedding but that did not disguise the fact that the mattress needed replacing. I spent half of the first night on the sofa. Second night in other bed also hard and uncomfortable so doubled up the single duvet to cushion my back. In the double room the mattress was so soft and gave no support my friend did not want to look at the quality of her mattress but I suspect it is also old. There was absolutely no space around the bed so she had to climb over it to pull down the blind which had a large hole in the lining, or to open the window. The tap in the bathroom came off whenever you used it there was no mirror light above the basin and no catch whatsoever on the door. The kitchen was clean and plenty of utensils but the cooker dials had all had the markings cleaned off so it was guesswork to use the oven or grill. Also in the kitchen a bin with no lid! The email we received said the pool and entertainment was extra and could only be arrange through the owner/ not so as the receptionist in the park said we could get one there. This extra cost was not mentioned on booking but only on the email received 3 days before arrived. The park itself was most pleasant and we would stay there again but not at any of the properties of this host.

So peaceful

We had a lovely stay here, my husband myself and our dog. The bungalow was perfect for a short getaway very comfortable beds and everything you need for self catering if you wish. Tina had also supplied treats and a ball for our dog! The area is so beautiful- amongst trees with so many different birds and squirrels that came to our door, Lovely woodland walk on site, also used the little shop. A perfect little break at Seagulls rest which we enjoyed very much. Thank you.

Excellent property

We had a wonderful long weekend at Seagulls Rest. Tina was brilliant throughout with excellent communication & thoughtful touches at the property. The property itself was clean, bright, well presented & well maintained. The bed in the main room was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The park was peaceful. We did not get a chance to check out the facilities but I noticed a shop & restaurant and what seemed like a nice woodland trail for walks. Highly recommended & I will certainly be checking if this property is available again next time we visit family in the area.

Good stay for families with young children.

Als stel vonden wij het toch allemaal wat minder. Veel aankleding en prulletjes, maar de ovenwerking was onleesbaar, ging samen met kookplaat aan. Kookgerei ook niet kwalitatief. Pannen ingekrast. Sommige verlichting deed het niet (badkamer).Bank oogde niet fris/kleed wel schoon.Geen warm water op enig moment meer in keuken. Beschrijving onduidelijk. Er was niets onder de “sink” wat we aan of uit konden zetten daar.Je kunt natuurlijk wel de host gaan bellen enzo, maar daarvoor heb je geen vakantie.Lang verhaal kort: functionaliteit belangrijker dan rest.Terras kon ook beter.Het voldeed dus niet aan verwachting voor die prijs.
