Oct 13, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just what we needed My first time away in Cornwall and what a lovely place Cornwall is, Hayle came highly recommended and where we stayed with homeAway/Tom's holidays just made it so much better, great location with a vast view of the beach and coast line, central to all what I wanted to do. The chalet/unit we stayed in was a good size and well furnished with everything you could want and need, the staff were helpful when needed, would def go there again and recommend them to other people... Great holiday and great memories ##### simon p. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rosie J. Sep 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Disliked: Check-in #### Basic and not the most comfortable I'm a little conflicted about this chalet. It's sweet enough, but very basic compared to other places we have stayed in for a similar price. It does have a lovely view which must be stated as a big plus! It was a little grubby, nothing awful. The place just needs a freshen up really. The boiler doesn't run enough hot water to even rub a full sink to wash up with and even then it runs lukewarm. The hot water tap in the bathroom runs yellowish. The sofas are shallow and uncomfortable. The beds were all fitted with plasticy waterproof sheets which make them sweaty and slidy to sleep in. I appreciate mattresses should be covered in a situation like this but there is no need for this discomfort. The double bedroom is incredibly tight. You can see from the photo the bed is pushed against the wall but it doesn't show the very small walkway the other side of the bed. Adults can barely pass each other or get dressed etc. we are average size people and we found it tricky. The top bunk in the child's room is frankly dangerous too. There is no rail to prevent a child falling. I guess you can see that from the pictures too but it was worse than I expected when I saw it in person. We never received our message about check in either so had to chase up our log in code which was a little stressful. The walk to the beach is also longer than stated. Not a problem nessescarily, but certainly a disappointment. We won't be back to stay here unfortunately. ##### Rosie J. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rainer M. Jul 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tolle Lage Die Kommunikation mit den Vermieter war ausgezeichnet. Die Ausstattung ist gut. Das Schlafzimmer ist aber zu klein, ein sehr schmales Bett (120 cm?)und ein kleiner Schrank, das war es. Im Kinderzimmer sind auch noch 5 große Schubladen um Sachen unterzubringen. Das Badezimmer ist auch sehr klein. Keine Möglichkeiten, um Handtücher aufzuhängen, keine Haken oder so. Sollte es kalt werden, gibt es ausreichend Möglichkeiten das Wohnzimmer und Bad zu heizen. Die Lage ist sehr gut, man ist schnell zu Fuß am Strand, Gezeiten-App nicht vergessen. Wegen des zu kleinen Bettes würden wir diese Fewo nicht nochmal nehmen, über Toms Holidays jederzeit wieder. ##### Rainer M.
