Emma, Sheffield
Date of stay: 18th March 2025

We had an amazing week staying at Bay Retreats over Christmas! The place was lovely and the only thing that wouldve made it perfect was a rug in the living area. With two young kids who love playing with cars on the floor, the laminate was quite noisy and made us worry about disturbing the neighbours. Also, we noticed quite a few bulbs that needed replacing, but as it was Christmas, we didnt bother mentioning it to the staff and just made do with the other lights. The washing machine was a real lifesaver, especially with little ones around - honestly, its normally such a hassle on holiday, so that was a big bonus! Wed definitely go back.

Emily, Plymouth
Date of stay: 19th November 2024

The villa was lovely, but some furniture had wobbly legs and the shower wasnt as good as we hoped. Still, the location was perfect for sightseeing and super peaceful overall.

Emma, Holsworthy, Devon
Date of stay: 29th March 2024

Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely come back again.

Emily, Somerset
Date of stay: 27th July 2023

The villa was charming, with a cosy little garden, but we did notice quite a bit of dust behind the sofa. A few kitchen utensils could do with replacing, though.

Emma, Cannock
Date of stay: 16th May 2022

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely spot. The location is perfect-peaceful, close to the beaches and not far from Padstow, which was great for exploring. The place has a cosy, slightly vintage vibe, though it did feel a bit dated in places and there was a faint old smell that could be freshened up with a spray or diffuser before guests arrive. As its pet friendly, we did notice some dog hairs on the settee and chairs, which was a little off-putting, especially with our three-month-old baby. We needed to sterilise bottles using the microwave and dishwasher, but there was a dirty plate left inside the microwave, so cleaning standards could be improved. Overall, we had a lovely break, but a little more attention to cleaning and freshening up would make it even better. Its definitely worth considering!

Emma, Swindon
Date of stay: 31st March 2022

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Four nights in this beautiful, modern villa was just perfect. Its well-equipped and super comfortable. Loved opening the large windows for fresh morning air. Quiet neighbours made it even more relaxing. Definitely recommend!
