The peoperty is in a great location, check in and check out were completely hassle free. The property itself was rwally clean, comfortable and had absolutely everything you need. The washing machine was a godsend for a beach location like Cornwall. Would definitely recommend, especially for families with small children.

Great value. Good location.

Such great value just outside a fab village a short way to beaches and Padstow. Very clean and fresh with small garden. The lack of a coffee maker / plunger a bit annoying and only just enough plates etc. otherwise great.

Second time staying here. Nice quiet location but close to all the towns of Cornwall. My only little moan would be to have a king size rather than double bed in the main bedroom. Great facilities

The property was exactly what we were looking for and definitely would us the property again. It was clean, modern and had very good facilities I.e washer/dryer and iron with ironing board. The only improvement I would make is update the arrival booklet as some information was OoD for example the shop is now closed permanently.

Beautiful place to stay.

We had a wonderful time at Bay Treat villas. Lovely villa, very clean, tidy and comfortable. Very well equipped, even down to dishwasher tabs for the amount of days we stayed. Hand wash, towels, tea towels, washing up liquid, salt and pepper, everything was thought of, excellent. If I wanted to be nit picky I would say the windows could do with a wash but other than that everything was perfect. Beautiful area, we were blessed with gorgeous weather too. A real bonus. Local beaches absolutely gorgeous.Friendly quiet site. People running the bars and kitchen were extremely pleasant people. Looking forward to returning again later in the year.
