Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and well-presented. However, a few mentioned that the floors could have been better swept or hoovered, and there were comments about the presence of weeds in the garden. These minor points slightly affected the overall impression of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions, beaches, and amenities. It offers a perfect balance between rural peace and accessibility, making it an ideal base for exploring Cornwall.
Guests have consistently remarked on the comfortable beds and pillows, as well as the cosy atmosphere provided by the heating and log burner. The spaciousness of the cottage also contributed to the comfort level, although some guests suggested improvements regarding the bedding and bathroom smells.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a secure garden for pets and a well-equipped kitchen. However, there were comments about the need for better information on the sewage system, the lack of recycling facilities, and minor maintenance issues like a faulty bedside light and a small fridge. These points indicate room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
While guests appreciated welcome gestures such as cream teas and fresh flowers, there is not enough information to determine if such gifts are consistently provided to all guests. Therefore, it is politely noted that such thoughtful touches, while appreciated, may not be guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Duloe 2.1 miles. Positioned in the village of St. Keyne amid the countryside of Cornwall, is this charming, barn-conversion, Woodpeckers Barn. Retaining much of its character with its vaulted, beamed ceilings and woodburning stove, this pet-friendly property makes a fabulous base for two couples or a family of four. Leave your vehicle in the off-road parking space before exploring your holiday home; step inside to discover the bright open-plan living space. The compact kitchen area hosts an electric oven and hob to rustle up heart-warming meals and when meals are served, gather at the dining table and toast to your hideaway. Relax and unwind on the sumptuous sofa as the woodburning stove crackles before you and turn on the TV for a movie night. When the sun is shining, head out onto the rear garden and soak in the quaint setting as your pooch stretches their legs. As the evening cools, retire inside and choose between a king-size and a twin bedroom with its own en-suite; climb into bed and why not escape into a much-loved book? Awaken with a cup of tea and home-cooked breakfast at the dining table, as plans are set for the day ahead. Lace up your walking boots and explore Kilminorth Woods or for a sandy beach, venture into the coastal town of Looe and unveil the past at Looe Museum. Spend the day in the ancient town of Liskeard, lined with independent stores for a unique gift to take home, as well as the peaceful Carnglaze Caverns and Golitha Falls. All this and more awaits at Woodpeckers Barns. This property can be booked with Pheasant Barn ref:1112676 on the same site: together they can sleep up to six people.
Duloe is a small settlement in Cornwall, situated between Liskeard and Looe. The ancient remnants of Duloe Stone Circle may be seen in the village, while Cornish Orchards offers a wide range of ciders. A Gastropub serves local ales and home-cooked meals, while a well-stocked community shop provides basic necessities. The extensive Kilminorth Woods are just outside the village for a trek, while the 18th century Port Eliot House & Gardens are slightly further distant.

We were really impressed by this lovely, well equipped property. Only one very small downside for us was the 2nd bedroom is down a few stairs and quite far from the main bedroom, we have 2 young children (and a baby!) so had to adapt to make this work for us but it was no problem. The weather was pretty bad for us but we really enjoyed how spacious this place was so we could stay inside on a couple of rainy days with lots of space. We didnt use the garden but this was also perfect if the weather was good.

The garden is not enclosed enough for the dog. The fridge was so small you couldnât get more than a days food in. Wi-Fi was really really slow and no phone signal. Beds were comfortable and place really clean

Spotlessly clean and comfortable. It would benefit from having a new roasting tin and a more substantial outside light so I could see the dogs in the garden at night. Will certainly use Sykes Cottages again, thank you.
