Thanks for your nice words and sorry about the coin meter, we don't like it either, but it was there when we bought the apartment and it allows us to keep our prices down. Glad you had a great holiday anyway.

Nice. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Gilly

Thank you so much for your nice words. We love hearing from our guests and hope we can welcome you back sometime. regards, Bob

Amanda, so glad you had a great stay at "Surfsounds" So many of our guests are many time repeaters which we love to see. Ref the washing machine, we used to have a washing machine installed, but it had a small leak one week and I saw the potential for a bad leak wrecking the natural pine floor that covers the whole of downstairs. This in turn could so easily trash our loyal customers holidays, if we had to replace a warped floor, so we deemed the threat to be too much of a possibility and took the machine out out. It is a shame that dogs are not allowed on the beach in summer months but I can see the problem to small children playing in the sand, even though 90% of the beach is seawater flushed every 12 hours! The local by-laws say no dogs on the beach Easter day till Sept 30th, which does however leave seven months when they can run free and our winter breaks are very well supported accordingly.There are also tens of miles of coastal cliff walks which have no restrictions year round right on our doorstep. We do look forward to seeing you again soon. Bob & Gilly

David we are so glad that you like our beach-side accommodation as we work hard constantly to make it as homely as possible. Regarding the washing machine, as most guest only stay for a week, It's usually not needed. I had worries from the start (15 yrs ago) about a washing machine leaking, as if it did it would trash the old pine floor which covers the whole of the downstairs. If a leak happened without warning we would have shut down the house for many weeks, to pull up the floor and re-lay it, causing serious havoc to all our guest who had booked. The electricity meter is not ideal and we do not like having it, but it seems the fairest way to keep our prices as low as possible, with constantly changing energy prices. We have found some people like to keep the house 'like a sauna' and some set it at 20c, so to make it fair you simply pay for the electricity you use. Typically, in the summer with no heating on it cost about £4-5 a week and this raises to about £3-4 a day in the mid-winter with a frosty outside. I hope this helps with the "reasons why". We hope to see you again some time, Best regards, Bob & Gilly

Thank you so much guys for your lovely comments. We are of a like mind. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

Hi R and thank you for your lovely words and so glad you have fallen for our gorgeous part of Cornwall. I only wanted to say that I painted throughout when we were last able to stay in Surfsounds in April and, as it has been booked back to back since...and until mid November, there is no chance to do anything about the chips and painting till then. Glad that won't deter you, and we hope to welcome you back sometime. best wishes..Gilly

Thanks guys for your nice words. Look forward to welcoming you back.
