Driftwood needs a really good clean , on first look it's fine but when you stay you see that there is dust everywhere the ornaments and such need a good dusting .
The patio could do with a blast clean . The garden furniture could do with a scrub to get rid of all the spiderwebs . The living room carpet is full of stain marks . The cushions on the sofas were covered in marks and black dog hairs look like they need replacing . We would have had a restful time in polzeath but for the fact that there were a number of major building works happening resulting in a rude awakening from 7 am onwards , exceptionally loud scaffolding clangs and digging machinery, drilling etc . On arrival we had a double bed made up in a room that wasn't quite large enough for a double bed . It was placed against a wall resulting in a difficult scramble for one of the occupants to get out of bed should the need arise during the night . We had to unmake the bed and make up a bed in the other room. This first room would have been fine for children but not for us as we are over 65 years of age . A little thought on the caretakers behalf should have realised we were an adult couple with out children and both needed to extricate the bed from both sides . We have stayed in previous Sykes cottages and have in fact booked a further one for later this year on each occasion there have been complimentary items for the family . Not expensive things but a small bottle of milk and a couple of teabags for arrival. There was absolutely nothing at all we had to go to the shops to get some before we had even unpacked after an 8 hour journey this would have been most welcome . Furthermore when asked to leave the residence clean , there wasn't anything under the sink as far as cleaning products go to do this with apart from a cloth and brush . A bottle of some sort of all over cleaning product would have been useful. Overall not quite up to standard or worth the money . If this had been our first Sykes booking it would have been our last I'm afraid .

The cottage/converted barn was located in a superb area for sightseeing and visiting all the beautiful towns and beaches in the west of Cornwall.
The farm in which the barn was located housed 2 delightful pigs, 3 Alpacas and 2 goats and we very much enjoyed visiting them everyday. We were appreciative of the choc biscuits and wine upon arrival. The bed was very comfortable. However, unfortunately this sums up our positive comments. In a nutshell, the cottage was tired, run down, emitted a very musty smell and was dirty. In particular, we needed to clean the toilet bowl - the rim where the water flows out was filthy as was the basinâs overflow hole, the area around the tap and bath overflow. There were no cleaning products, so we had to use washing up liquid. The towels were very rough and tiny. In the kitchen, the teapot was dirty as was the butter dish (and milk jug, which we didnât touch). The decor is in great need of updating and indeed the whole space is in need of a full refurbishment as it is run down. The sofa was dirty and smelly. All the house plants were plastic and were faded by the sun. There were many cobwebs and dead insects. The Dvd didnât have any sound and the instruction manual was for another model. Our biggest issue was that we booked a four tick cottage, which this clearly was not. How can we trust the tick system if it appears that no one is monitoring this property. You could ask why we didnât take all of this to the owners, the reason being is we were on a 7 day holiday and we didnât want to waste any time dealing with issues that should not have existed in the first place. We paid for a 4 tick accommodation and this was at the most 2 ticks. It was a great disappointment, but we stayed as we live in London and this was our summer holiday

Driftwood was perfect for myself, my daughter and her friend.
It was also lovely that it had a garden with table and chairs and a washing line to dry all your wet beach stuff. The location is stunning (literally 100m from the beach) and it's a huge bonus to have parking for 2 cars which made it easy when my friends (who were also holidaying locally) wanted to come to meet us at the beach! It felt like a proper old fashioned English seaside home. (no need to publish following comments....) The only thing that I feel the need to mention negatively is that the carpet in the middle bedroom is filthy. There are several dirty stains just as you walk into the bedroom and under the foot on the right hand side of the bed nearest the door. They are just stains from age and use but it really stuck out to me as being dirty and needs replacing. It's a shame because the rest of the house was clean and light and airy. The other carpets appeared to be newer and the rug in the lounge was beautifully clean and fresh which made the carpet in the middle bedroom look even worse.

Cannot fault the lovely location of driftwood, close to all amenities and of course the beach and local walks.
Would like to point out a few issues with the cottage though, the toilet brush and holder were extremely dirty and i had to personally clean it, the blinds in the property had layers and layers of grime on them, the windows could definately do with a clean, the window in the bathroom does not shut properly so doesnt make it very secure, getting out the bath was an issue as its next to the toilet so you could slip over easily, could do with a bathmat and a non slip mat for the bath!!, the storage heaters have no controlable thermostat on them so unable to turn them off or adjust the temperature, the rear bedroom smells of damp and i can imagine in the colder months would not be nice to sleep in, the hoover needs emptying as it smelt and the filter needed cleaning, i did my best to clean it, we could of definately done with some sharper knives in the kitchen and maybe some upto date utensils and pans, im merely pointing out these issues as it all be easily rectified and would make the stay more pleasurable.

What a little gem!
We just had 5 days staying at Driftwood. 2 adults, 2 teenagers 16 and 17 yrs and a small dog. The personalised welcome/info letter at the cottage was a nice touch. We were able to enter the property earlier than expected which was great. Also checkout was not until 1pm which made leaving not such a rush. There are two double rooms and a third with bunks. WiFi was great and surprisingly my 4g worked and could receive mobile phone calls. Cottage is in a fantastic location moments from beach and shops. There is a small secure sunny garden with table and chairs, out door tap for washing wetsuits and a clothes line. Parking for one large and one small car. Will definitely stay at Driftwood again. I found this cottage on Vrbo but in future I would book direct with Sykes to save the booking fee. Sykes cottages were really helpful and got questions answered speedily. If holidaying with friends they could book the next door cottage which is owned by the same people.
