We arrived to find the property had not been cleaned, we were offered to be put up in a hotel for the night but with two dogs was not an option. Waited until gone 10.00pm until cleaners eventually arrived. The property was comfortable and had all you could ask kitchen wise (look out for the secret cutlery drawer)! The properties where too close toRead moregether and unfortunately there was much noise from others looking to party, we didn't have the relaxing, peaceful stay we hoped for. The view from the property was obscured by a huge metal fence, apparently erected by the local farmer. Hide

We had a lovely holiday at Halcyon Days property. The bedrooms and beds were extremely comfortable, the showers were perfect and cleaned well. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. We did bring additional washing machine/dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid/disinfectant spray, toilet gel, bleach and spray as we used these everRead moreyday. We couldnt make the dryer work but used these hanging rail on the balcony instead. The jacuzzi was fab and really enjoyed it. There were board games at the property to keep everyone entertained, which was a bonus. We booked this property because it had access to the Retallack Resorts indoor swimming pools free of charge (just got to call the resort and pre-book slots) with access to gym, sauna and steam room. We didnt use the gym but the sauna wasnt working when we got there which was a shame. Theres also entertainment that included at Retallack when booking this property for children and adults also a small playground/game room at the resort. The restaurant is terrible (the service was bad and it took 1.5 hours to get our food.) so remember to do a shop at the supermarket or have it scheduled for delivery to the property prior to coming. We regretted not doing this because everything was far away and we couldnt get food delivery. Negatives: We had some minor hiccups at the property as the kettle was old, the barbecue wasnt cleaned, the property is dog friendly so it didnt match my cleanliness standards and vacuum wasnt usable but aside from that we had a lovely stay. Rate 4/5 in spite of the negatives as we enjoyed our stay. Hide

A stunning home perfect for a lads holiday, with four extremely comfortable bedrooms complete with clean and cosy ensuite bathrooms (one of which included a jacuzzi bathtub which I personally and wholeheartedly recommend), a modern spacious kitchen, comfortable living/dining room space, and a relaxing porch for evening meals outside and a heavenly Read morehot tub, complete with a sweet view of the lake. Add to that a welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits, and milk, access to the very relaxing and friendly spa/resort just 10 minutes up the road from the property, and an abundance of sights and attractions to visit all a short drive away, this was a roaring success of a holiday thanks to the high quality of this home.

Nice situation, though resort seems tired. Easy to access many places to visit, and convenient for shopping at Wadebridge. Ok for us, just there for a wedding. House spacious, though stairs hard work for older guests; should be clearer that 2 rooms are twins and have no view.

We booked this house which looked ideal for our family holiday use. The site and location are superb for a family beach recreation getaway. SADLY the property Halcyon Days was certainly not as expected for the cost of the weeks rental. The property once we actually got inside .. (cleaners were late and very poor) was filthy Dogs hair dust cobRead morewebs everywhere and absolutely no cleaning agents available. We went to the site shop bought bleach bin bags and cloths. Spent our first hour cleaning ! When we went to use the jacuzzi the patio slabs around it were loose very dangerous. The BBQ had been used and left with food in it Each balcony its furniture needed cleaning as did the patio furniture. We were contacted a few days before departure explaining the lakeside view and access was fenced off. No reason or explanation offered even after asking ? We still have no idea ? The grass area outside the patio area wasnt cut as nothing can get in due to the Harris fencing ! As a family away celebrating a significant birthday we were desperately disappointed with the state of what should be a great house for vacation. It is neglected and in need of serious renovation especially in the communal areas. Id recommend the site there are plenty of other houses lodges but avoid Halcyon Days until the faults are put right. Hide

We found the property very easily, it was a lovely big house with 3 floors. The dog walks were good, we went in October so a bit wet, that's no fault of the holiday company. Lots of things to do within 30 mins drive. And a rwscos and Aldi 10 mins away. We found it to be a lovely and comfortable home. The hot tub was fab.
