TLDR: Really excellent place for a quiet holiday - but watch out for the seagulls!

When we first arrived, "The Poop Deck" certainly lived up to its name, as we were dive-bombed by a very angry seagull that squirted us both with poop. Within 90 seconds we both had a significant amount of seagull poop on our jackets, t-shirts, trousers and shoes; It transpired that the Gull had 3 baby chicks nesting on the roof of the front door porch, and our attempt to carry our bags into the property was taken as an attack on the nest. Fortunately the property has both a washing machine and a tumble dryer; it also has a back door, so we used this for the whole holiday, though the position of the nest stopped us from using the balcony of the master bedroom. That said, the Poop Deck is an outstanding place to rent for a holiday, and we both thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and well decorated, has a lovely split-level back garden, part of which is quite secluded but still catches the sun from midday onwards, and the sea view is quite simply the best we have had; even though the property is some distance back from the beach, there is better than 120 degrees of sea view from the main picture window in the large lounge (and also from the balcony of the master bedroom, seagull-permitting). The furnishings appear to be new, and the kitchen is well stocked with quality utensils, crockery and cutlery. Everything smells fresh and clean; there is even a quiet air-con unit that keeps things pleasant too. The WiFi is excellent (though the router boxes in the master bedroom could do with being shrouded a bit at night as there are many blue LEDs). The local shops are five minutes walk away (and seven minutes back, due to the gradient) as is the pub/hotel, 2 restaurants and a takeaway - also there is a second hotel along the beachfront that also serves food to non-residents and has a small bar. In the harbour one may hire kayaks, paddleboards and even windsurfing gear from the RYA training centre. Would we visit again? Absolutely, yes! Thank you for a very relaxing stay.

I stayed at the Poop Deck with my husband and two dogs from 27th August until 1st September 2022.

A long awaited holiday after the restrictions of COVID. When we arrived at the Poop Deck the property was filthy. Prior to booking, I had read earlier reviews some of which referred to the cleanliness of the property. I called the owner to inform her of the state of the property and sent numerous photographs. The owner agreed that there was âa lot of dirt.â The owner arranged for the property to be cleaned again the next day and also offered me compensation. The following day 4 cleaners spent for 2 hours to bring the property up to scratch. Even after 8 hours extra cleaning there were areas that had not been addressed. I told the owner that I would just finish the cleaning myself and not use the microwave (as it was still dirty) to avoid any more disruption to our holiday. I did receive compensation (not at the level I requested to compensate for the disruption caused) but was told that this was on the basis that I did not leave a review. Sykes Cottages would not comment when I raised this with then. Anyway, that said, the Poop Deck is in a great location and there is lots to do locally â we visited Roskillyâs Ice Cream Farm, the Seal Sanctuary and the Lizard. The garden is a little sun trap and was great for our dogs. The local shops, pubs and beaches are lovely. The property is well equipped and the beds very comfortable. Would I stay here again. Probably not.

This property is ideally situated on the hill overlooking the bay.

It has 3 good sized rooms (two double & one twin). I only used the en-suite master bedroom which had a comfortable bed and I assume the others are to the same standard. Showers worked well and water was always hot as well in the kitchen. Kitchen is compact but functional with plenty of utensils, pots etc and a welcome gift of scones, jam and cream was a nice touch. Lounge/diner also a good size with TV capable of Netflix and Amazon Prime although Satellite signal went down a few times on normal TV channels. Garden table outside sliding doors I am sure would be used in the summer as well as the back garden which has seating and views for the sunset glass of wine. A well presented property but with a few things to bear in mind. Tumble dryer is in a cupboard under stairs and I did not use it for that reason. Lounge does get hot in full sun as there are no curtains. Parking would be fine for 2 small cars but only 1 SUV. Only downside for me personally is that it is not on top floor.and whilst there was only one quiet couple in residence while I was there, I could still hear them walking about above the lounge and climbing stairs. 3 couples with kids would have been a problem.

Wow what a place and what a view!

Very comfortable, nicely designed and all on one level once youâve come up the few steps to the front door. Wonderful large windows on 2 sides in the sitting and dining room and patio door straight out to the enclosed patio and well maintained garden - which our little elderly dog also appreciated. Views out to sea from one of the bedrooms and a large glass balcony door. Sweet twin room for kids and another double room looking out on to the garden. We loved our holiday, the bay is full of ocean wildlife !!! We watched Gannets diving, the local family of seals every day, dolphins regularly, and once, an hour long feeding frenzy of dolphins, tuna and gannets all from the luxury of the sitting room with our binoculars. Also lovely coastal path walks. Never a dull moment! Highly recommended esp for nature lovers.

The poop deck is in a fabulous location with a wonderful view made so much better when halfway through our stay the dirty windows were cleaned.

The general cleanliness of the apartment was VERY poor with thick dust and hair on skirting boards in corners and on the bathroom floors. The apartment had obviously not been cleaned properly for some time. This was made all the worse because in the details it clearly states that a deep clean is undertaken between letting. I sent the owner pictures of the state of the poor hygiene standards and she did apologise. But offered no form of compensation. I have to say that the situation really did spoil our stay and I could not recommend it. Additionally the accommodation is promoted for up to six people however in the living area there is one large sofa and one chair, if six people were staying there would not be enough seating. I would like Sykes to contact me to discuss our experience.
