Great place to stay

Great location near the beaches. Upper Deck is located in a quiet holiday park. The property was spacious and well equipped with a wrap around garden which was great for the dogs. Hosts communication was excellent and they left scones with jam and clotted cream upon arrival. Overall we had a lovely visit.

A big birthday celebration

Lovely quiet location with the added bonus of a big garden all fully enclosed ideal for pets. A well looked after holiday property. Not far from some gorgeous beaches. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Our negative points were: The stairs are very narrow towards the bottom anyone with limited mobility might struggle. We all found the pillows a little flat and uncomfortable. The shower en suite was quite cold despite the heated towel rail, there appeared to be an electric fan on the wall but we couldn’t find how it worked. The mattress on one of the single beds was a bit tired. Despite these small issues we all had a lovely time. The little nook up stairs where the kitchen diner is was lovely The seating up there was comfy and cosy. The kitchen and dining area are very good. Lots of kitchen utensils. The two bedrooms downstairs are huge both en-suite. The house was always cosy and warm. Useful utility room downstairs. All in all a really nice house for a holiday.

Great place to stay with large bedrooms & large en-suites on each. Plenty of room in lounge area & was good to have extra utility room. Good sized driveway to park 2 cars. Our only disappointment was the stairs up to the kitchen, especially the last few stairs that hardly had room for our feet. We set up the kettle in the utility room as found it too precarious to bring hot drinks down the stairs. We are in our 60’s & 70’s so not ideal for us, but other that this it was a lovely place to stay.

The property was extremely spacious and clean, perfectly well equipped. Comfortable inside and out with a very safe wrap around garden for our dogs. Excellent location for the 7 bays. Interactions with the owners was excellent, they were in the adjacent property during our stay, they were accessible and very friendly albeit not intrusive in the slightest.

Lovely property, great location.

Great place to stay while we adventured a few places in Cornwall. Had everything we needed, clean and tidy property. Gated entrance and enough room for two cars. The “site” was perfect. Lovely little bar and shop a few minutes walk away but so peaceful and relaxing. Kitchen well equipped, comfy beds, great sized garden for the pooch to have a run in and enjoyed the sunshine. Would stay again. Lovely hosts. Thank you.
