What our customers say about their holidays

  Our family of two adults and three children enjoyed our stay in the cottage over a period of three nights.

  The cottage was very private and we didn't meet any neighbours. We enjoyed our stay and the facilities in the cottage were very good although we did find the wooden log fire in the living room pretty ineffective as a source of heat; and since there was no other form of heating in the living room then we were a bit chilly. A fan heater is supplied but since the whole house runs only on electricity and energy prices are rising fast then we spared the owners the expense, otherwise they'd be making no profit from our stay! The cottage was draught-free but bring a warm jumper and slippers in the cold months as the tiled floor in the kitchen feels cold if you're one of those families who take their shoes off when you enter a home. All the bedrooms had a heater but one was broken. The washing machine and tumble dryer are in an out-house and we didn't use them. In the kitchen we had most things. The knives were good quality and there was even a knife sharpener and sharpening steel. If you like to wash up using a sponge and brush then bring your own. Towels were provided in both the kitchen and bathroom. The beds were comfortable and the whole cottage was cosy. There's a TV connected to WiFi. The Samsumg TV has apps for Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. so all you need to do is login. There's no DVD player. Some books and games are supplied. Make sure to read the black folder before you move in because it has tips on where to find important electrical switches (eg. emersion heater) otherwise you'll have no hot water or shower. The small village of Pendeen has one small Spar shop, which also sells logs for the fire. Local pubs do meals at London prices. There's an old-fashioned petrol station in the village too, selling petrol as motorway prices. We recommend a visit to Geevor tin mine in Pendeen. We would happily stay in the cottage again. Thanks to the owners for a very pleasant and comfortable experience.

  Absolutely awful!

  ! The Miners cottage was so unclean that it made me cry. There were layers of dust on all the many niknaks around the property and clearly visible under tables/ chairs (Covid!!) why are there so many unnecessary things around. The sheets appeared to be nice and clean but the bed throws and pillows felt almost damp and clary to touch, I was not convinced that they had been washed and again, just another unnecessary item to risk the spread of germs. The shower was appalling, a trickle of water. There are walls crumbling on the staircase. The heating was almost non-existant, there are a few old storage heaters that didn’t give off much heat and a log burner with enough wood for one fire which lasted just a few hours. (We stayed in January) The whole place made me feel unclean, I would never go back and would never recommend. It should be removed from the site until they give the place a complete overhaul, it needs cleaning from top to bottom. The location of the cottage is fabulous and it could be amazing if the owners addressed the issues. This completely spoiled our stay in Cornwall and has made us reluctant to use Sykes Cottages if they allow places like this on their website! I very rarely complain about things but this really upset me.

  I feel really bad for the owner of this property as the recent feedback does not reflect the stay we had at all.

  The cottage was as expected for a period property on the coast priced at less than £100 per night. The cottage is lovely and full of character. Upon arrival the ut had clearly had a good clean and we were given lots of fresh towels, bedding and blankets. Yes, there are some drawings from previous little artists on the walls and furniture from previous holidaymakers, but it did not affect our break in any way at all. The cottage is in a perfect location for exploring the cornish heritage coast. The local pubs are fantastic with really friendly staff and locals who make you feel really welcomed. The mining area surrounding the property is fascinating and well worth a sunset walk (pack a torch!). Great for the dog too. We loved the special touch of providing some tea and proper cornish biscuits. If you expect your accommodation to not have cobwebs, the odd fly, or some felt tip scrawlings may I suggest you choose an adults only new build in the city as opposed to a family friendly cottage in an industrial village on the coast?

  A lovely, cosy cottage, close to the coast path - just what we wanted.

  Wood burner great, although no kindling provided at all, so we didn’t have a fire on the first night. We liked the kitchen-diner too, which was light and a good place to spend time. The kitchen was very well equipped and well lit. Speakers in the dining area was also a bonus. The neighbour parked a large van at the back of the property though, which obscured our view of the sea when we were in the dining area, which was disappointing. The bedrooms were all lovely, with great views from the bath bedroom particularly. Very comfortable master bed too and plenty of storage space upstairs. This was a last minute escape for us, which I booked quickly and hadn’t logged that the bathroom is downstairs and the stairs are very steep to negotiate in the middle of the night. The bathroom however was clean and modern (although only one toilet roll was provided). On balance, a lovely bolt-hole but the downstairs loo may stop us booking again.

  What a great, central location.

  I have read the other feedbacks on this accommodation and yes, there is a bidet in the bathroom (odd but true!) and the tap still gently runs (more concerned about the water bill than anything else) but the accommodation is brilliant. Never had so much room to live and move in, very clean and such a comfortable, huge bed! Shower was amazing, powerful and hot (bath sides are high, so take care not to bump into the bidet on exit!) kitchen was equipped with enough to get us through breakfast everyday and evening meals with a great, large fridge/freezer, cooker and microwave. Furniture was comfortable and TV was huge! We loved the place, the staff were lovely and helpful, pub downstairs was great and we are planning a return visit and have recommended it to friends and colleagues who are planning a visit to the area. PS. Our dog loved it too! Go visit nearby Amble for 4 x doggie charity shops!
