The Slipway, Penzance

Where do you want me to start! The worst holiday let we have ever stopped in. Firstly it needs a full professional deep clean. The building smells of damp which reflected by water running down the wall next to the bed and damp patches in the living room. The kitchen area including inside the few cupboards in the apartment are filthy inside. The tea towels that are left look like they have been used on the floor. It's lacking basic necessities like oven gloves. The shower is full of mould and no drying mat. The bedroom wardrobe is unusable due to the wet damp wall and smells. You can hear every sound from the appointment about down to the mobile phone ringing. States a garden but can not be used. Overall this property should not be let out until extensive work is carried out to bring it up to a holiday let standard. Looking back at a review in 2019 most of these issues were raised then. Skyes should not be letting this property out.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at the slipway. This time over Christmas week. The accommodation is very central, a stumble away from great pubs shops and restaurants. The private garden and Parking are a bonus and the apartment itself is fitted with beautiful, quality furniture and carefully chosen furnishings. It really is a home from home. We would recommend it to anyone great for dogs too!

Loved our stay in this cute cottage, conveniently situated across the road from the sea and close to shops, pubs and restaurants. There's a private garden across the road with a little table and chairs and a private parking space. You can find everything you'd expect to find at home here, including a smart TV with Sky and access to Netflix, etc., books to read and board games to play, so even on a rainy day you'll be comfortable and happy. Super clean throughout and comfy bed that you won't want to leave. Definitely recommend.

Had a wonderful week with girlfriend and our dog. The slipway was very clean and comfortable. Great central location and a quaint little garden. Two really nice pubs 2 minutes walk ( the Turks head & the admiral benbow) both dog friendly.

On arrival all was good we found we had been left a lovely starter of bread, milk, eggs, butter, juice and a bottle of Prosecco. Initially this apartment looked lovely, kitchen area, bedding and towels clean.Unfortunately on closer inspection the pillows were absolutely disgusting and the shower filthy, the grout and shower hose were covered in disgusting black mould, which my wife had to clean before use. Also very dusty and nothing had been moved to clean, several spiders webs showing under couches and furniture and several wires were lying about attached to extensions. Although this is advertised for 4 there is no way 4 people could stay here comfortably and only 2 bath towels provided, as there is no w/machine we had to use a local laundrette. Only 2 of us and I had to leave my suitcase in the living room as there was no room in the bedroom. The wardrobe was very damp and musty and had black mould on the wall, it was full with spare quilt, pillows, ironing board, iron and vacuum. The windows in the living area were painted shut so if we wanted fresh air we had to leave the door open, not great as road was very busy. Also one reason we booked here was the advertised garden but it was unusable as it was unkempt and the furniture very old and filthy. This property could be great but requires a deep clean and re-painted and the garden lanscaped.

Fab place to stay in an excellent location. Very comfy and homely with everything we needed and more. We would definitely stay again.

The Slipway is very homely, with comfortable furniture and bed. Also is a good location.

The cottage was stunning! It is in a fabulous location with friendly people. We will be booking again.

A beautiful old building and the owner made us feel very welcome.

The cottage was comfortable and central to shops and town and ideal for two people. The weather was good to us and we visited somewhere different each day, St Ives is only 35 minutes away by bus. Our dog was happy and liked the garden. It was great to have an off road parking place.
