An Drowes Reviews

We have stayed in a few selfcatering holiday properties and I was surprised at how easy everything was. The standard of the property was very high and with the information left for us and a nice greeting card we very quickly felt at home. The property was clean and very comfertable, and fully matched the images displayed on the website.
A convenient base to walk to the town, zoo and beaches. Clean and well equipped. The owners quickly and swiftly sorted out a new aerial in one day fantastic.
A very modern appartment with two large bebrooms and large kitchenliving room. Not much to view when using the outside seating area. Surprisingly quiet area, if you do not include the seagulls.
Hot tub was green and disgusting to use, had to contact the owner twice to resolve the issue as it had not been cleaned properly, so didnt use it in the end to which is disappointing as we paid for it. The fact they had an engineer booked to service the dishwasher due to the misuse, from other people renting the apartment before us our holiday to which ruined our last day is disgusting, tradesmen shouldnt be in the holiday rental until its vacant as we paid for privacy etc.. The main tv in the living room is terrible and wont work properly as dated and needs replacing, so dont expect much from this on an evening when you put kids to bed and want to relax. The owners sit back and make thousands of pounds without a care of whos holiday they ruined, wont be visiting again as its not as advertised and falsely advertised. Also its worth mentioning the pictures look like your based on the sea front, unfortunately your are not and its actually located in the middle of peoples garages and rear gardens so no privacy whatsoever. Enjoy your stay at An Droves the place is beautifully miss advertised.
Absolutely fantastic stay in a beautiful, well equipped house. The host was lovely and we couldnt have asked for a more centrally located property. The added bonus of private parking a real plus. The only issue was that the mattresses are a little soft, but maybe just my preference.
We had a lovely week at An Drowes in June 2023 and would highly recommend. The property was spotlessly clean upon arrival and we were very impressed with the quality of furnishings and facilities. Everything feels brand new! We also thought the hand written card and freshly baked scones upon arrival were a personal touch. Location is great for access to the town and beaches as well as exploring other areas of Cornwall. You also have lots of choice nearby for food as well as several supermarkets. The only downside to our stay which was quickly rectified is that we noticed on arrival that the hot tub water was green in colour rather than clearblue with a very strong chemical smell. We didnt think anything of this and also didnt want to complain, but unfortunately after the first use two of our party had experienced a burning sensation and rash on their back and legs immediately after coming out of the water and after the second day and use we all had the same. We notified this to the owner and on the same day the hot tub water was replaced with crystal clear water and we didnt experience any further issues. Despite the small issue as it was handled quickly and as it didnt spoil our stay, we would highly recommend choosing this property and would revisit again in the future when deciding to stay in Newquay. Thank you for a lovely stay.
An Drowes was a fabulous base for our girls holiday to Newquay. Just a short walk into the town so it was very easy to get anywhere. The house itself was spotlessly clean and has everything you could need. The cream tea left for us on our arrival was a lovely touch. A real plus point for us was the gated parking for two cars, as we were really struggling to find anywhere with parking for two. This really gave us peace of mind during our holiday. I would not hesitate to recommend An Drowes to anyone wanting to stay in Newquay.
The owners were very thoughtful and the house was really clean and modern with everything we needed. Its ideally located to walk to Newquay central or to Towan or Fistral beach. We would definitely recommend and we will be booking again next year
Thompson
Lovely place to stay, very clean and comfortable. All appliances, utensils of good quality too. We didnt use hot tub as looked like needed a bit of a clean but otherwise a really lovely stay. We're very familiar with Newquay having been visiting since 80s, this is located close to town. A bit untidy in the area behind but as far as an drowes is concerned, a perfect place to stay. Thankyou

Really lovely home, Well thought out and easy enough to have a quiet day at the house or go to a great beach or a nice not too busy town centre The host left some essentials and some cream Jam and scones which were really thoughtful

Hidden gem in the area ! Shower in room 2 is not as powerful as it could be ! The whole property is such a high spec so it was a shame about the shower ! Also beds are a bit lumpy but some may like that ! Reminder for the cleaner.The skylight area and window ledge need a dust too every so often !!!
We just had a week stay at An Drowes and it will be a week me and my family never forget! An Drowes is immaculate! Spotlessly clean and finished to the highest standard. On arrival we even had a hand written card and freshly baked scones! The children absolutely loved the hot tub, and the location of An Drowes is a few minutes short walk from the beach, restaurants and shops. We would highly recommend An Drowes and would 100 be back again.
Jackie
An Drowes was a great holiday, the pictures didnt do it justice. Hotel standards with a homely feeling. They had thought of everything you needed to make your stay. The welcome home made scones after a long journey was a great treat! The bedrooms were are a great size and bigger than expected, love the upside down house taking great advantage of the view of the sea. Hot tub was great after long walks in Newquays and loved the touch of plastic glasses so the holiday drinks could keep flowing. We will be visiting again
Had an amazing stay at An Drowes. The property is perfect, with everything you could wish for and so much more. The personal card & Cream Tea on arrival was a lovely touch and the Hot Tub was very welcome after a long days driving. We would definitely return.
Really happy with the property brilliantly clean when we arrived. Upkeep of everything since we last stayed two years ago was superb, well definitely be back to stay again!
We had a lovely stay. It was at the end of storm Eunice so the weather wasn't great but we still managed a few dips in the hot tub once the tree above it settled down. The house was comfortable and well equipped. We had problems with the Internet mid week which got sorted the day we left... Things like this happen, but communication with the owner could have been easier. View of the sea was lovely, the house was handy for walking into town and for getting in and out of Newquay, and the parking was secure.
Michelle
A property to be proud of. A few points, probably in the key collection notes it probably would be best to say where the key safe was. We couldnt book in till 5.00 and the weather was horrendous and it took us a while in the dark to find it. Entering the property was lovely with the Xmas tree and the cleanliness The scones were amazing thank you. We did have a problem with the hot tub as the electrics had unfortunately tripped for this and the water was stone cold which was disappointing as we couldnt use it for two nights. The owners were very apologetic and did come out the next morning. The property was done to a high spec and the shower was amazing. Views outside the windows were spectacular. The bed for me was too soft but thats just personal choice. We absolutely loved this place and would highly recommend.
This is an amazing property. So very clean with every thing you need. The little extra touch of a cream tea on arrival milk in the fridge is so thoughtful. After a long journey its the little things like this that stand out. We used the hot tub every day after nice long walks it was great. Would definitely re book.
Accommodation Excellent,very close to all amenities. Would highly recommend.
Beautiful house in a perfect location to explore Cornwall, it really felt like home and we didn't want to leave. Would highly recommend this property.

Had a marvelous stay pictures dont do it justice, only request more towels ... Had a marvelous stay pictures dont do it justice, only request more towels please, one hand and one bath towel for a week not enough, had to wash twice during stay
Excellent home in excellent location.
Louise
We had a lovely time, clearly a great deal of time and money has been spent on making this holiday home into a great place to stay. Very modern, clean and tidy. We were very comfortable staying here. Shame about the area it is in as it is very run down, but it didnt spoil our stay at all. A couple of things I think need addressing and that is when I stripped the bedding as asked before we left. there were no pillow protectors. This is a must especially with what we have all been through in the last year, also on the duvet itself, on both beds were some yellow stains. The mattress had a protective cover but they didnt want this stripped off. I would say that needs washing each time. Also we were very lucky with the weather and spent time sitting outside on the outside furniture. There was a lot of dried bird droppings and would of been nice if this could of been washed down and brushed away. If you have an electric toothbrush take an adapter as there is no electric shaving sockets in the bathrooms. The owners left us homemade scones with cream and jam on our arrival and milk. Which I felt was a lovely touch. Also a card welcoming us with some great recommendations for dog walks. We felt very at home all week and the hot tub was a bonus and very relaxing. Thank for letting us stay.
Beautifully presented property
Matthew
A wonderfully clean and beautifully finished property. Great Location for exploring Cornwall. Would love to return
We were made to deal extremely welcome to this beautiful modern property with a hand written welcome card detailing places to visit with our dogs, plus home made scones with jam and clotted cream. the property was spotless clean and very well equipped. we would definitely rebook this property in the future.
Charles
An Drowes is a beautiful home in a convenient location for all that Newquay offers. It is in a quiet location yet only a 5 minute walk from the lively centre. There are two excellent beaches Fistral & Newquay both of which are within easy walking distance. Absolutely loved our week at this location.
Our 2nd visit to An Drowes and hopefully it won't be our last. Can't fault anything regarding the house. Really enjoyed our holiday there this year and will be looking forward to returning in the future.
Everything was exactly as we hoped, such a lovely clean house with everything we needed for a wonderful family week away.
A beautiful Holiday Home with all the comforts of home. Comfy Beds, Great shower and the location is minutes from the beach and town centre. Really enjoyed our stay highly recommended!
Catherine
This house was amazing! Finished to such a high spec. and very clean. Couldnt fault it, just brilliant.
Beautiful house perfect Location.
The cottage was extremely clean, which made us feel really comfortable in these strange times. The location was on easy walking distance of Fistral and some lovely shops and restaurants in Newquay. We were also able to take some wonderful day trips which were only 1015 minutes drive. It was lovely to come back to a soak in the hot tub after a long day of surfingbody boarding. We really loved it! Thank you!
Amazing! We arrived home at 5. 30pm and by 6.30pm we had already booked another week at An Drowes later in the year, that says how good it is stunning house in a great location, the surrounding area is a little run down but that doesnt take anything away from it at all, the perfect place to explore the wonderful County of Cornwall.
Excellent holiday with a brilliant house. The welcome sconescard on arrival were a very welcoming touch.
Fantastic house in a great central location. Couldn't have asked for more! Will definitely be coming back.
Home from home with every want and need thought of. Beautiful house in a great location for exploring Newquay.
Rachel
Absolutely loved the house, perfect for us, Home from home. Arrived to beautiful scones made for us too. Host were fabulous! Definitely recommend.
