Stay at Tara

It was a modern house with a lovely decking and great location to walk to the beaches and St Ives. Check out could be later than 10am as we paid a lot to stay and in some places there was black mould. Overall it was clean and had nice modern furniture,

Tara property in St Ives

The property was lovely and a great position. We enjoyed St Ives very much. Unfortunately the property was not cleaned very well at all before our arrival and is in need of some maintenance - dripping tap in kitchen etc.

Very pleasant stay

We had a very enjoyable time at Tara. The drive is a bit of a challenge to negotiate but the property was great.

Nice house, more than 10 mins to beach and view is wonderful shame about garage roof outside view

The house was nice and we had a lovely time, we did feel for the cost it was not up to scratch. It’s not very clean it is clearly wiped over each week. There were bad stains all up the stair carpet we did ring to complain and were told someone would pop up. There is mound in a few of the bathrooms on the tiles. The worrying thing were the ceilings in the bedrooms. The joist fixings screws are now visible cracks and holes this was also a phone call from us to your office. As this is only going to get much worse. This house needs a full buildings maintenance going over. The window catches are very loose. We did put all this in our review which we left in the house. The window in the kitchen has no catch to stay open so will just fly back and then it is not easy to get hold of it to close. The door bell does not work, and some of the bedding had holes in. All of this may seem negative but we loved our holiday and are only pointing these things out so to keep this lovely house up together. It would of been nice for someone just to leave a note to say that someone from the office had popped in. The lady I spoke to at the office said she knew about the stains on the carpet it had been mentioned before, perhaps it should of been addressed onchange over day. The welcome gift was a very nice touch thank you. We would come back to St Ives but will be honest we will look around, this was quite expensive. I hope some of the points will be helpful.

Perfect

My Family and I have been traveling to St Ives from Newcastle for over fifty years so know the area pretty well, this time we planned to travel together for an October Break, so we could not be happier to find a property that would be big enough for all Ten of us. My Wife and I, my Parents now in their Eightieth years, our two Sons with their Wives and our two Granddaughters.( 4 Generations of Clarks) The house was spacious with everything we needed to make our stay just perfect. Living room and kitchen / Dining / living area all upstairs giving some fantastic views so relaxing. The bedrooms all downstairs were perfect in every way, comfortable beds and enough showers for everyone, the garden and surrounding area were great for the children to run around with picnic benches and a BBQ for those who want to dine alfresco weather permitting. In general a perfect location, not to far a walk down into the town or the beaches, We managed with a little maneuvering park our cars for the week this saving parking fees certainly a first for us. We would like to thank you for allowing us to stay in your Beautiful home and will be back again the next time we visit St Ives together, will be recommending you to all of our Friends. Yours Sincerely The Clarks.
