  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Wild Acres despite the wet weather!"

    Our arrival was marred by sat nav taking us to wrong location, some miles away. I would recommend using Google maps and your notes should clarify that Gwentner Rd is that running through the village of Gwentner and the farm track leads off this. A sign there would be helpful or direct guests to follow signs to Trerenwith farm. The track is much worse than we expected, especially the last steep bit leading to the property. Given the weather, we had to use sun room as drying room for coats and boots. The back door was unusable due to large puddle. If you are accommodating 10 people , 6 single coat hooks and mugs is rather mean. Also more hooks needed in bathrooms for drying towels. 2 small towel rails is not enough. A few small things but spoiling an otherwise delightful property.

  • "Stunning location but an SUV or 4x4 is absolutely needed to access the property."

    The 0.7 mile drive from the property is extremely bumpy / uneven and not one you’d want to do very often during your start….and we had a Jeep Wrangler. When the weather is as hot as it was during our visit, the conservatory is unbearable, blinds are needed here as well as in the living area. Handing areas are need, no where to hang clothes on the bedroom, no where to hang towels in the bedrooms/ bathrooms and no toilet roll holders. The walk down to the beach in inaccessible for some individuals, those with disabilities or elderly with walking issue, breathing difficulties will not cope well at all. The induction job is a nightmare, and very inconsistent temperamental. The oven also takes an extremely long time to come to temperature.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We have taken your comments on board and will look at possibly adding blinds at some point in the future. In the meantime, we have since added new cupboards for clothes. Please find full instructions for the induction hob at the property, this along with the oven are in good working order.

  • "Amazing views and setting."

    Cottage easy to use and all ran smoothly. Only comment is that crockery was fine for us as we were 4 - would have been tougher for a larger group, especially the champagne glasses!

  • "Our stay at Wild Acres was a blend of beautiful moments and significant disappointments."

    While the property itself is situated in a fantastic location, certain factors dampened our overall experience, some of which seemed easily avoidable. On a positive note, Wild Acres boasts a great location that made our stay memorable. We appreciated the efforts made by our hosts to rectify issues as they arose, demonstrating their dedication to creating a pleasant experience for us. However, our arrival was marked by the absence of a number of amenities that were promised in the listing (and I notice that the listing has not been amended since). It was disheartening, to say the least, as we had specifically chosen this holiday home for a special family celebration. The most striking discrepancy was the external kitchen - while the listing explicitly mentioned a sink, fridge, dishwasher, and barbecue, we found only a sink on our arrival. The hosts did provide disposable BBQs later, but the missed opportunity to cook outdoors and enjoy the stunning terrace view over our first two days was a disappointment. Further, the shortage of an outside fridge was exacerbated by the inadequate size and missing shelves of the inside fridge, which limited our capacity to store our cold items effectively. Apart from this, there were minor frustrations such as an unexpected shortage of wine glasses - for a five-bedroom house, it's quite odd to initially only provide five wine glasses. Even though more were delivered later, it would have been preferable to have the appropriate amount from the beginning. Additionally, our request for a stair gate, made prior to our arrival, was unfulfilled. We also encountered maintenance issues such as a broken plug and lock in the bathrooms - issues that were rectified later, but marred our initial experience. Overall, we had a great time at the property but felt that we did not get what we had paid for.

  • "Your General Feedback Would you like to provide feedback about the holiday property?"

    This will be shared with the property owner. Beautifully located property with exquisite views of the ocean. Close walk to the beach. Clean, spacious and family friendly. Sad the barbecue was removed as the views and entertainment area are amazing for outdoor grilling. I requested baby items and there was a cot and high chair provided but no safety gate. Would suggest a safety gate be provided as the stairs are steep for children.

  • "Thank you for letting us stay at your lovely cottage."

    We had a lovely time. We enjoyed the view it was stunning and great for the dogs too. Hot tub was amazing. Just a couple of things the access to the property is very difficult there are alot of pot holes and bushes were overgrown. Very steep hill coming down to the property. The property would benefit from having wardrobes in the downstairs bedrooms as there’s only a chest of drawers. But the owners were lovely and the property is clean and tidy and well equiped. If access was better would have stayed again

    Thank you for your feedback. The lane to the property is by shared access, so we are limited on this matter, we will however keep on top of the bushes, this is in hand. Space in the downstairs bedrooms is a bit of an issue, but we have taken your comments on board and will look to possibly add open wardrobes. Property Owner

About the location

COVERACK

St Keverne 2.3 miles; Helston 11.6 miles; Falmouth 18.5 miles.

Coverack is a small fishing village on the Lizard Peninsula, a few miles from Lizard Point in Cornwall, the most southerly point on mainland Britain. Coverack is a beautiful and peaceful place to escape the main tourist routes and offers a beach in the sheltered bay, which is ideal for swimming, windsurfing, and kayaking, as well as shops, pub, and restaurants. Further amenities lie in St Keverne, which has a post office, shops and 2 traditional pubs. The Lizard Peninsula has many spectacular coves and beaches and is noted for its rare geology and plants. From Lizard Point there are wonderful sea views from the windswept cliffs, which provide fabulous walking opportunities along this stretch of the South West Coast Path. Inland is the market town of Helston, known for its Flora Day Festival, and in Gweek is The Cornish Seal Sanctuary, whilst approximately ten miles away is the Culdrose Airfield, where once a year the public are welcome to come and meet the Fleet Air Arm, the Royal Navy’s flying force. Coverack is ideally located for exploring The Lizard Peninsula, as well as the lovely seaside towns of St Ives and Falmouth and many other beaches and pretty villages.
