Golant is a peaceful and pretty destination and the surrounding area has a lot to commend it. The Sheiling, however, is tired and in need of much TLC. To start with the positives, it has a garden which is a delight, a very comfortable bed which afforded a good nights' sleep and a shower which was both hot and powerful. However, the presentation of the property we found to be sad and depressing. There were stains on walls, peeling paint and soft furnishings which were threadbare and had seen better days. We also discovered cleaning issues and safety issues with the electrics. We contacted Classic who were prompt in coming out to see us. They were thorough and professional in listening to our concerns and promised some changes going forward. We were also reassured that the electric issues would be rectified. This could be such a lovely holiday home but in it's present condition, it wasn't for us. ...

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review following your stay at The Sheiling and we're so pleased to hear that the lovely location worked well for you. We're sorry that there were some areas that didn't meet your expectations on this occasion and we're very grateful to you for letting us investigate the points raised whilst you were in residence. We do try our best to be as honest as we can with our online photos and descriptions and believe that we do show a true reflection of this comfortable and traditional property. The Sheiling is an extremely popular property with a high turnover of guests throughout the season and the owner does have an on-going maintenance programme to ensure that refreshing takes place as and when possible. We have removed the cushion that had been well-used and have also approached the owner to ensure that the extension leads are not overloaded moving forwards. We were pleased to confirm with you, whilst you were on holiday, that the PAT testing of all appliances was in date. We've asked the housekeeper to pay some special attention to the areas around the doorhandles and spaces where some cobwebs had collected on future changeovers, so thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're so glad that we were able to reach a satisfactory resolution for you and hope we can welcome you back the south west in the future. Tressa, Customer Support ...

What a gem of a cottage! It is very well equipped with really comfortable beds and lovely outside area. The village is very friendly and having a pub within walking distance was an added bonus. We even had entertainment from a local folk group who met to sing together on the Sunday evening....

Remember to take own seasoning etc and very careful on the driving best to drive in and go to bottom and turn round

The Shieling is bright, with a lovely garden and in a beautiful, peaceful location in Golant. We spent many happy days on Lantic Beach and Polridmouth Cove and there are nice local walks as well as the coast path not too far away. There was a lovely welcome basket and the property was spotlessly clean and we found the beds all very comfortable. The house could do with some updating with some of the rooms looking tired and dated. It also missed some of the touches we’d enjoyed and come to expect in Classic Cottages properties - a good welcome pack of recommended places to visit, DVDs or on demand TV / games etc....

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we're sorry to hear that you felt The Sheiling was looking tired in places. It's obviously a very popular property which has had some busy seasons over the years but we do work closely with owners to try to ensure that reinvestment and refreshing happens regularly and we will pass on your feedback to them for their consideration. Due to the current situation with Covid some of our owners are not currently leaving a cottage information folder along with DVDs etc but hopefully this will change with things slowly becoming more relaxed.
