The property was well decorated, comfortable, the fixtures and fittings were in good order, the shower was very powerful and plenty of hot water, indeed, the water coming out of the taps was extremely hot. Parking is directly in front of the property, there is a good, secluded patio to the rear which is very quiet, private and in the sun (sometimes!) with ample chairs provided.The Wi-Fi however was almost non existent and we had to go down the drive to pick up a signal because the router is in the house over the road. The owners son had purchased a strong booster by the end of our week which he intended to install over the weekend. A little too late for us but should be better for future guests. The owners kindly provided a welcome pack including scones, clotted cream, strawberry jam, tea, coffee, milk and sugar. There are several electrical items in The Halt which it would be helpful if there were some instructions for but there were none. You have to press and guess! Sykes website details are incorrect. They say that parking is over the road, it is not, it is in front of The Halt. Sykes also overlook mentioning that the parking is shared with the property over the road. Alright if they only bring one vehicle but two or more would probably mean some shunting. Sykes also say that there is a washing machine and a dishwasher, there is not as "George" pointed out in September 2020 but still Sykes have not corrected their website details. We are keen cyclists in our mid seventies and The Halt is ideally positioned in the middle of the Camel Trail between Wenford Bridge and Padstow. In view of "George's" comments we Emailed Sykes in October 2021 and they came back to say that they had checked with the owners and there was indeed a washing machine and dishwasher! I spoke to the owners on arrival who said they had never been contacted by Sykes! As cyclists there is a need to wash and dry our cycling kit each day. On Wednesday morning the ceiling lights tripped out but the problem was quickly rectified by the owners and never reoccured. Despite Sykes inaccuracies on their website we still enjoyed our stay. What could be done to improve the property (Wishful thinking!!)? :- Shed for bikes (a must for us), shaving socket for electric razors, a Porch to put the key safe under so that you could get the key out, unlock the door, take your shoes off, sheltered from the rain. And finally on our wishful thinking list, a safe. Would we go back, yes, if there was a washing machine and a shed.

It was a perfectly little place for two people to stay and I would highly recommend it. It is literally on the camel trail with one of the windows actually looking out onto the trail. All in all we had a lovely, cozy stay and would definitely go back
