“The location and surrounding area were gorgeous and the facilities on the site were good and was very dog friendly.”

Only disappointment was the actual Sandpiper as the cleanliness was very poor and when we first arrived it had an awful foist smell and had to try and drown it it out with numerous air fresheners, however it was still bad. We really hoped we would be able to spend some time sitting outside on a night having a few drinks but we just didn’t want to spend any time in or around. The outside seating area looked like it had never been used in months it was that dirty, so didn’t use it once ...

The outside seating area looked like it had never been used in months it was that dirty, so didn’t use it once unfortunately. We even looked to try and hire a caravan on the site and was prepared to loose the money we paid unfortunately there were none available. So in general I would definitely go back to the area but just not this chalet.

Thank you for your comments, Mr Landells. I’m pleased that you liked Perran Sands. We love the area very much too, and have been revisiting for many years. In checking booking dates, we found that our previous guests stayed earlier the previous month, from the 11th to the 18th of July, vacating some 15 days before your arrival. The “ foist smell “ that you mentioned is certainly regrettable : that it’s cause is most likely the two week period of it’s being closed up, is not a mitigating factor, because it should have been opened up and fully ventilated immediately prior to your arrival. I offer my apologies that this was not done. Similarly with outdoor patio chairs and table, obviously the ravages of drifting sands and marauding seagulls take their toll, but as before, we would fully expect our guests to enjoy more pristine conditions throughout, which we will aspire to in the future. We wish you and your family happy visits to Perran Sands in the future. Property Owner

“Our stay was ruined by the inadequate description of the property, which clearly suggested that the pool was included in the price of the stay, and that other attractions were additional charges, which is understandable.”

When we got there, it turned out that everything was included in the price and nothing was included in the price of the stay. This information should have been clearly stated in the description. If it had been, we would never have chosen this property. In addition, we found the property in a poor condition, dirty and smelly. For this price you can rent a beautiful caravan in Haven or another holiday park with full access to the pools and still have £200 in your pocket. Don't be fooled like we were, and Sykes washed his hands of it. We are completely disappointed because we thought we were good customers of Sykes. Oh well, never again! I do not recommend!

Thank you very much, Mrs Surmaczyska, for staying in our chalet, Sandpiper. We were so sorry to hear that your stay was spoiled because of the misunderstanding about Haven’s Facilities Pass. The site owners’ rules governing the public’s use of their Pass, tend to vary year by year, but for some time now Haven have expressly forbidden third party use of their Pass. Put simply, whoever purchases the pass, enters into a legal and binding contract with the holiday park’s owners. This governs accident insurance, compensation and various other legal conditions. Thus if chalet owners were to provide a Haven’s Pass, it would be they who would be legally bound by, and receive all of the benefits of,the pass. For this reason, Haven expressly stipulate that their Pass must NOT be used by anyone who has not purchased it for their own, and their family’s use. Virtually all previous guests have read, understood and accepted Haven’s ruling on this matter but nevertheless, we are grateful that you have drawn our attention to the possible ambiguous wording of the site owner’s rules concerning this matter. Notwithstanding this disappointment, we hope that you and your family, enjoyed some aspects of your stay in “ Sandpiper “ Property Owner

“Great little clean and tidy chalet perfect for what we needed as somewhere to crash after a day of adventuring with our dog!”

Perfect amenities on site and a short but steep walk to the beach so be wary! Great host left a few goodies to get going which for us was great as we arrived pretty late in the evening and just wanted to chill then discovering the shop was shut. Only let down for me a very light sleeper was the seagulls nesting on the roof being a bit noisy!

- Hannah, July 2024

Oh, sorry about the shop closing, Hannah. And ( if they weren’t “ protected “ I’d recommend a quick swipe with the broom to quieten noisey squatters ! But seriously, really glad that you all had a good holiday. Hope to meet you all next time. Thanks very much too for your comments. Property Owner

“Brilliant accommodation and close to all facilities.”

Will definitely book again, although will book for 2 weeks next time as 1 week was too short. Will be recommending this accommodation to friends/family who have said they want to go to Cornwall.

- Stephanie, September 2023

Really glad that you all enjoyed your holiday, and so grateful for your kind comments. Looking forward to welcoming you all next year Property Owner

About the location

PERRANPORTH

Newquay 9 miles; Truro 9.5 miles.

Perranporth, a beautiful Cornish coastal town, lies in the heart of Poldark Country, the setting for the novels of Winston Graham who lived in Perranporth in the 1930s. Perranporth offers plenty of traditional pubs and shops, plus a classic bucket-and-spade beach that is lifeguarded in summer, overlooked by craggy rocks and a wonderful coastal path. Once known as the source of the finest tin, the community still retains reminders of the rich heritage with abandoned pump houses, mine shafts and workers’ cottages. The local Blue Hills Museum and Perranzabuloe Folk Museum are both well worth a visit to understand the fascinating history of this coastal area. Further afield are the miles of sandy beaches at Crantock and Holywell Bay, and the breathtaking coastal walks around St Agnes, much of it owned by the National Trust. A perfect holiday base in Cornwall, with an abundance of activities to suit everyone.

Note: On-site facilities include surfing school, pools, sports bar, climbing wall, cashless arcade, nature trail, bar, restaurant, café and shop,a pass can be purchased from reception allowing access to them all.
