Fantastic location lovely property just needs a little tlc

This property relies on its location to sell. Cleaning was poor lots of pet hair on floors furniture and cushions. Poorly maintained. Broken doors and plinths to kitchen cupboards. Dirty microwave. Safety rail on bunk beds falling off. Damp smell in kids room, dog smell in master bedroom. Broken window hinges almost falling off when opened, sliding door none functional as some examples. One electrical socket did not work, one had burn marks on the outlets. The agent did respond but was not a good start to the holiday. Made the property very expensive for the level of care.

The location is the reason to book this cottage - amazing. The cottage itself needs some updating, but I imagine it’s always booked!

Lovely property, fantastic location . We would visit again. The views are amazing and the children loved the bridge to the garden. We did feel it needs a little TLC : Sliding balcony door unable to lock, windows difficult to open, shower sliding door needs attention, key safe rusty may need replacing . Overall though I would highly recommend.

Would 100% recommend. Brilliant location, one minute to the sea even in December! Also short walk to lovely village.

We enjoyed our holiday in Above the Beach, it’s location is outstanding next to the beautiful cove and the coastal path. St Agnes is a lovely village with excellent shops and pubs. Recommended.

Location is fab. However Upon arrival the waste bin in the bathroom hadn't been emptied and was full of the previous occupants items - The general standard of cleanliness was poor e.g. heater controls we dusty and greasy and hadn't been cleaned for some time. - Storage heaters are not a good option for a holiday home. Instant heat for short periods would be appropriate. - Kitchen cupboard doors do not shut properly and kick boards are not fitted correctly. - The kitchen cupboard doors are also in poor condition and the laminate is coming off. - Crockery chipped in many places - The cutlery was a random mixture and there were no sharp knives or scissors. - The furniture is stained and the carpet has holes in. - The shower door does not close properly as the seal is coming off and not fitted properly. - The radiator in the bathroom is not attached to the wall correctly with only 2 brackets being screwed on. - The patio door to the balcony does not open. - The patio area felt “abandoned” with items just laying around on the floor - The toilet seats are not fitted correctly and do not line up with the bowl. - The literature talks about buying logs ahead etc, which lead us to believe there was a log burner so we bought some logs / kindling etc but there was nowhere to burn them! In essence, the property needs much TLC and in our opinion a complete overhaul. This was not cheap to rent and location should not be an excuse to scrimp on essential maintenance and the maintenance of the high standards expected and advertised. It did not live up to our expectations of cleanliness, hygiene, standard of fittings and customer care we have come to expect.

A super house in a great location but it completely lacks charm or character . Happily it had a parking space, a necessity in St Agnes .
