Spindrift is a spacious home set in a lovely location in Cornwall. There is easy access to the beach and we were not far from St Ives, Falmouth and Penzance. The views are beautiful, we enjoyed waking up in the morning and taking in the scenery.

Wow a lovely property with amazing views over Praa Sands. Everything you could need and some lovely extras made for a great week with family and friends

Spindrift was the third holiday we have booked with Luxury Coastal. The previous two had delivered handsomely on the luxury front, and as this trip was to celebrate a 70th birthday, we decided to push the boat out, particularly as Spindrift promised 'a holiday home unlike any other'. Well, its view over Praa Sands is absolutely marvellous. And although we had planned a busy week exploring the area and connecting with family, we could have spent every day just staring out of the windows. Unfortunately, luxurious Spindrift really is not. The photos of Spindrift have been so expertly styled that they create an image that the propery fails to live up to. As another reviewer mentioned last summer, it's all just a bit tired. There are new carpets, and the upstairs shower room has been nicely modernised, but these improvements just highlight the fact that the downstairs bathroom and the kitchen both badly need an upgrade. Ditto the hot tub. From the images, we expected we'd spend a lot of our time on the balcony and patio areas, lapping up the gorgeous views. But the local gull population put paid to that. When we arrived both areas were so well splattered we couldn'y sit anywhere. Puzzlingly, all the patio furniture cushions were also just left out, and so were equally unappealing. It pains me to write such a negative view, but while Spindrift is nice enough, and is in an undoubtedly fabulous location, it's expensive and not what I would consider luxurious.

The 3 bed house is cosy and has the basic essentials. It’s a bit tired but you just cannot beat the location. A 5 minute stroll to a dog-friendly surfing beach, on the windy side, with a great bar that also sells food. Great cliff walk and within a 10 minute drive to Portleven for fantastic restaurants. The spa is an extra special treat, again it’s basic, only small jets, but to sit on the deck in the hot tub and look down on the sea is priceless. No feather pillows or duvets but mattresses not as bad as some places. No fans either
