11 Towan Valley Reviews

Selina

We had our second stay here, for two weeks this time in the lovely setting for Porthtowan. Like how this property is kind of tucked away and is a quiet little haven. All essentials are there such as a washer, dishwasher and storage, which is a godsend when you have a child like we do. The balcony and outdoor spaces really help too. The hot tub especially helped us all relax.

Good position walking distance to sea. More attention maintenance and cleaning needed. Decking covered in bird poo,and last holiday makers stones and sand on patio tables. Upstairs balcony table very rusty Main bedroom one door to balcony stuck Mattresses, duvet and mattress protector not as clean as I would expect. Main ensuite shower not draining Lots of chipped crockery, and cooking utensils had broken handles. Hot tub was lovely, but would have been nice to have a decent set of plastic glasses as glass not allowed in it Lovely fresh white towels, plenty of hot water. Spacious downstairs living area. Potential to be really nice, just needed a little more attention to detail and TLC. Overall we had a great holiday.

Maarten

We had lovely time at this property. We appreciate how clean and stylish the accommodation is and how conveniently located for village and beach. Abundance of clean bedding and towels was appreciated. The coastal path is directly accessible from Towan Valley. Some suggestions the front and back doors jam a little. The carpets could do with a revamp. The main bedroom door doesn't close properly. Some of the crockery is cracked or chipped. The dishwasher is temperamental. There are no toilet roll holders in the wcs. Outside the waste bins were overflowing. We brought our own dog gate for the stairs and perhaps to have one on site would be helpful. This property is very dog friendly so we would book again.

Had a lovely stay. Was clean and comfortable. Could do with a new duvet. Have booked for December

Philip

Fantastic week stay at 11 Towan Valley. Clean, spacious and within a few minutes walk of the beach and local amenities. The hot tub was also well received!

Property was beautiful and big. .beds where comfy and wifi fast..perfect!!...would have liked a gate or baby gate for outside on the decking ,stop the dogs from wondering but that is just a luxury for us with pooches..would definitely book again march?..cant fault it. only one small fault ,no change of bedding for second week ..as we usually get..but I washed them and dried them quickly so no big deal

Angela

It was mentioned in the listing that there would be a swimming pool on site however that was not the case as when we got there some people said it was a plan about 5years ago and not got pushed any further. Also the cleanliness of the house was not great, there was cobwebs everywhere, inches of dust on top of wardrobes and on blinds etc. Hence all the cobwebs there were loads of spiders crawling about which is understandable because of the season changes but for the amount there was it was not nice and comfortable to sleep with. Speaking of comfort, the beds and pillows were ridiculous, I had 4 pillows to myself but felt like I had 1, Ive got chronic back pain originally and so has my mum who has got a medical condition where her back needs to be risen and we were both in so much discomfort due to the pillows being so flat. The mattress itself was average, no life or bounce to it. We had a maintenance man come out as I went to put the heating on in my room, as soon as I did I could smell gas. My mum said its probably just dust I can smell, as she went to check behind the radiator, the whole radiator fell off the wall and was hanging on by tiny temporary screws. Immediately turned the radiator off, took pictures and sent them straight to the people in charge. Few hours later they sent out that maintenance man who fixed it straight away but mentioned the mattresses hadnt been changed in over 11years, when the site first ever opened?? Besides all that, had a great stay, liked how big and spacious the place was along with the fact that they provided a smart TV where you could watch Netflix, Disney etc.

Excellent family property, lovely surroundings, lots of room, comfortable, good parking, good base to explore local area and beyond. Would definitely recommend this property to friends and family.
