    What our customers say about their holidays

    • David - Verified booking

      Dawn Catcher is a lovely modern penthouse, it has all the facilities you need to make your stay comfortable.

      The welcome pack was super the best one we have ever received . There's a few points that need addressing though. 1. It states there are 3 flights of stairs but on arrival the penthouse was on the third floor but you had to climb 6 flights of stairs ! 2. Instructions to the oven, hob top,dish washer and washing machine would be very helpful.There are very vague instructions within the welcome pack for the oven and extractor fan but a folder with more detailed instructions would be more helpful. 3. The balconies could do with some attention. they had not been cleaned and the furniture could have been cleaned too. The table on one of the balconies had seen better days and the top was loose and blew over in the wind. 4. It was a bit worrying that our only means of escape in case of a fire was down the main stairway ! A long way to get down if the fire was on the other floors below. should there not be a fire escape ? ****Owner response**** Thank you very much for your feedback following your stay at Dawn Catcher. We’re thrilled you liked the Penthouse and are happy you enjoyed your stay. Thank you also for raising a few points, which we’d like to cover here. 1) The Penthouse is advertised as being on the 3rd floor. We’ve never actually mentioned in the description the number of flights of stairs, but for the benefit of future guests we can confirm there are 6 separate flights, two per floor due to the high ceilings within the building and as mentioned in the information there is no lift/elevator. 2) Thank you for the recommendation, instructions on how to use the appliances are available and we’ll look at collating these into a folder. 3) Thank you for highlighting the balcony furniture to us, we’re sorry it wasn’t clean and this will be addressed. 4) We take fire safety very seriously and do all we can to ensure guests safety,. It is our understanding that Bank House was internally reconstructed in 2002 in full compliance with all fire safety regulations. The Penthouse is on the 3rd floor of a building with 9 apartments. They are serviced by a wide, central stairway which is to be used as the fire escape. All apartments have fire doors in order to protect this central stairwell and the premises have central monitored fire/smoke detectors throughout. The Penthouse also includes additional independent smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, extinguishers and fire blanket. Moreover, the electrical fuse box was replaced just months ago with high standard circuit breakers to ensure guest safety.

      The property was a lovely touch and very spacious.

      We enjoyed our stay, but on the first day of being in the property, we had noticed that one of the bed frames in the end room to the left had cracked. This then meant when the two people who were with us got in and sat on the bed this broke the frame in the middle which meant bed was not able to be safe to sleep in. We communicated this with the cleaner and sent photos of the picture of what the bed frame looked like when arrived and then when the guest sat on bed. When I was informed in the morning I communicated straight away to the cleaner ( who was port of contact) and sue to this being a Sunday there wasn’t anything they could do until Monday. The cleaner contacted to inform me they would measure the bed and get a replacement. I informed them we would be out of property on Monday so they could measure up and get a replacement. I’m the day they informed me they were also going to replace the other bed ( which was fine) I’m a different room. This was all accommodated for and all sorted by Monday evening. To turn come home and several days later, to receive a message in the Sykes portal and £200 taken from my bank without any conversations. Absolutely discussed with this as we have not caused the damage to the furniture. I feel I have been boycotted for damage that was not called we by us. We shall not return due to the way we have been treated. For others that are l considering this please check everything…

      The accommodation wowed us and was accurately reflected in the images on the web site .

      It has a fabulous location and is close to all amenities .The maritime museum opposite is really good value for families as once paid you have unlimited access . It cost £26 for the family . The living area is spacious and comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped . We went to St Mawes on the ferry which was small but authentic . The local Gyllyngvase beach was a 15 minutes walk and had a very smart modern cafe the area which sold local dishes and snacks .The beach was clean and was sand /shingle it shelved at the waters edge and beach shoes would soften underfoot . We went on an overcast day and the waves were quite strong , but we enjoyed the experience and the children aged 2 and 4 loved making sand castles . Prior to arrival I made and enquiry about confirming the facilities in the apartment and the Sykes call handler was responsive professional and very helpful . I had a smaller issue whilst staying and I used live chat who were also very helpful and provided an instant response which helped . We had a lovely holiday in Falmouth and I would not hesitate booking with Sykes again , from deposit to payment it was effortless . I also used the Sykes app on my phone and I had all the information regarding my booking and the areawhich I found invaluable . Thanks to all at Sykes and I would love to return to Cornwall again , my first holiday in this area since my children were young and it did not disappoint

    • Clive - Verified booking

      Crabapple cottage was a delight, and this development had the feel of a beautifully landscaped fairy land; almost unreal !

      Huge effort had been made to satisfy every need and we settled in without any difficulty.Loads of extras were provided; a really nice touch. The nearby sandy beach of Maenporth was equally pleasing and provided an ideal location for a traditional day out at the seaside. Our only question arose from the fact that Sykes Central Command seemed a little out of touch with the property's situation. When asked about equipment and materials we needed to provide the response insisted that we take a whole range of "stuff" to help avoid the possibility of Covid 19 infection.[washing powder, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, kitchen towels, toilet paper oven gloves, etc. ] In fact the car load we brought with us was entirely unnecessary as, along with a welcome pack, everything was already in place ! Also, the cottage had its own WiFi, which we were told was not available. However, the quality and extraordinary range of facilities in the cottage made our stay extremely comfortable. Not even the G7 conference restrictions could spoil this holiday. We had a great time and will come again. Thank you !!

      The Threshing barn is set in a lovely village location perfect for anyone wanting a peaceful holiday. It is about 20 minutes to Truro and Falmouth and also to Porthtowan beach, where you can book surfing lessons and there are cafes/restaurants, beach shops and toilets. As a family of 4 (children aged 15 and 12) the size of the barn was ideal and with 2 bathrooms there were no arguments! I would suggest some hooks to be added in the bathrooms for dressing gowns/ towels to be hung. There were plenty of coat hangers in the wardrobes. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped!The outside space is lovely and well-maintained, the patio area has seating and a BBQ - unfortunately the weather didn't permit us to enjoy the outdoor area! There is also two car spaces and a games room with a table tennis table, this area is shared with the cottage on the grounds. We had an issue with the oven the day after we arrived and customer services were very efficient and it was sorted the next working day and It didn't stop us from having a wonderful holiday at the Threshing Barn.
