    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Susan - Verified booking

      We chose to re visit Falmouth having moved up north some eighteen months ago.

      Prior to moving we had lived in Falmouth for over 38years and knew Pendra Loweth / Maen Valley so chose to choose a cottage on the site, this been Spring Tide as it advertised no dogs, king size bed and a twin which was our criteria. Its been the worst cottage we have stayed at with it’s non welcome food smell of curry and to its total lack of cleanliness, lack of maintenance and lack of information on the use of equipment. The issues made us very wary with regards to our health. (Allergies especially dust). 1. Extremely dusty skirting boards more so in the twin room which we ended up cleaning, however, looking behind both bedrooms (with a torch) furniture the dust was extremely thick behind the wardrobes meaning this cottage has not been deep cleaned for a very very long time. (Photos taken) 2. The washing machine: the washer draw has not been cleaned and the washer had a very unpleasant stale smell so didn’t use. (Photos taken) 3. The standard of cleanliness regarding the crockery and cutlery. The dish drainer was dirty. The utensil holder for larger items has seen better days. (Photo taken) A wooden chopping board which should be condemned. The kitchen wooden blinds are dirty. (Photo taken) The lounge has such impractical furniture for a holiday let the cleaner has no way of moving to clean behind. 4. All the fans in the house are dusty , hence not used. (Photos taken) 5. The shower head is dirty (photo taken)with black mould along with mould in places in the bath. (Yes Cornwall is a damp county but it’s no excuse not to keep on top of it especially more so in a holiday let) 6. The patio table and chairs had not been cleaned prior to the let neither had the patio been swept or weeded (monkey nut shells under the table and chairs ) (photo taken) Other observations: 1. No instructions folder left out for guests (eventually found under other items in the bookcase):- No instructions for : A. TV which had Four monitors. B. Microwave ( instructions were for a former model) C. Instructions of how to use the oven and grill - all markings had faded over time along with the hob knobs. D. No first aid in any kitchen cupboard as per the Sykes part of the folder. E. The blind in the main bedroom had a hand written note on the windowsill to say it wasn’t working properly and how to higher and lower it. If it was known to be an issue by the owners ( who we understand visited before our arrival) then fix it. (Photo taken) We feel Sykes Cottages need to re inspect this property. We trust this constructive information will be taken onboard and improvements made in order that future guests will have a better experience than we did.

      Swallow cottage has lovely views over fields and is conveniently situated, however we felt it had been somewhat overstated and overpriced.

      Firstly the toilet and shower room is very small, the shower itself was very cramped and the door wouldn't shut properly. The main bulb in 2nd bedroom wasn't working, down to electrical fault as new bulb they left us didn't work. The patio area was just a fenced off bit yard which was bit dirty and full of cobwebs, not very nice to sit out. Outside the cottage can be dangerous for pets and young children, it was often quite a busy road and cars passed at excessive speed at times. There are roadblocks at certain times of day and Mum didn't feel safe to ride her mobility scooter down lanes for a wander. We chose this property due to 'all ground floor access' as Mum can't walk properly, but the front steps to cottage was very high for her to try get up without us helping. On good note the cottage was situated close to lovely beaches, was mostly clean, we had a nice welcome tray on arrival and the beds were very comfy. Also added benefit of Netflix and Wi-Fi. Please don't be offended but we do have a few suggestions if we may. I think the cottage would benefit from having a washing machine instead of dishwasher, as it would be more useful. Also a fridge with freezer box for ice and ice creams, especially as was very hot the 2 weeks we came. Also a 4 piece toaster instead of 2.. Just for convenience. Also it may be helpful to provide a little fairy washing liquid, scrubber, cloths, spray cleaner and tea towels as most Cottages do

    • Samantha - Verified booking

      We just had a wonderful stay with our 3 dogs at Myrtle Cottage.

      The cottage has 3 large bedrooms with plenty of space for all our stuff. It is cosy, comfortable and the smart tv was great in the evenings. I loved the 3 dog “packs” which were provided which included fluffy blanket, towel, dog bowl and jar of treats for each of my dogs. The kitchen has all the appliances and equipment you need on holiday and the practical boot cupboard and utility with washer and dryer was well used by us. The back garden is safe and secure for our dogs with fencing and gates. The location of the cottage was ideal for us. We were only a few minutes from Gwithian beach and some fabulous coastal and beach walks up to Godrevy (National Trust walk) and the lighthouse. We saw seals on the beach there. We could be in St Ives in 10 mins by car and it is so pretty and filled with lovely independent shops and restaurants. We drove to Lands End and Lizard point could explore south and west Cornwall with ease as everywhere was so close. Recommend Porthleven and Kota restaurant and the Tolcarne inn in Newlyn. Lovely walks and garden at Trengwaiton National Trust which is only 15 mins drive and great dog walk at Godolphin estate also 20 mins drive. The cottage owner Liz, was easily contactable and answered any questions we had. Would happily recommend Myrtle Cottage - especially if you have dogs ( or even if you don’t!) - as we spent a thoroughly enjoyable week there exploring Cornwall

      Cosy cottage - v.

      clean, comfortable and well equipped with great new appliances and free Netflix.Beds were lovely. Great location and dog friendly with beach and dunes walks within short walk and supermarket less than a mile away. Really excellent. Kitchen amazingly equipped and oven was superb with an excellent pizza tray and lovely quality bamboo chopping boards, kettle, four slice toaster - now desperately seeking ones as good, especially pizza tray. A few minor points but To improve further, but in no way reflects badly as so much thought has gone into this place, - I think a couple of sunloungers would be nice - we had great weather! Also over bath electric shower is tricky to adjust to correct temperature and not tall enough to use without crouching ever so slightly. Maybe a walk in shower could be put in somewhere? Side door could not be opened fully as there was a concrete step on other side so we climbed through top half one day! Lounge and dining room could do with a few more lights as can be a little dim in the evening. The info pack was helpful but one of the restaurants has now closed and please could you add teecees diner and burgers at the local beach shed as both were excellent and good value. We had a lovely time thanks.

    • Sue - Verified booking

      Lovely property which presented as clean and smelling fresh.

      It was a lovely bright cottage with some fantastic views across the fields. The cottage had a good selection of crockery and cooking pots and utensils although we did not cook as we enjoyed our Cornish pasties most days!! The beds were very comfortable and plenty of pillows which we did use as my husband needs to be propped upright at night (health condition). A great powerful shower with good temperature controls that were easy to use. Easy to put on the heating which we needed to do a couple of evenings due to it being a bit cooler but as our week went on the weather got better and warmer. Both our dogs felt at home instantly and although they wouldn’t use the courtyard for toilet business, we were able to just walk them down the lanes where there were grass verges that they were more than happy to use. It was an ideal location for the days out we wanted as we did not need to travel too far to visit places we wanted to visit. It was a great holiday, being in a comfortable cottage made it better and with great warm and sunny days, we chose a great week to be away.
