  I booked this staycation as a treat for my Daughter and my grandson.

  On arrival to the property it became clear there were no laundry facilities on site to wash clothing during their stay and I was told by the owners a launderette would have to be used which was a 15 minute walk from the property and with it being a self catering property with no onsite laundry facilities this was strange. Also having to make regular trips to launder wet water gear and towels used for the beach regularly was not ideal and caused more expense as well as taking time throughout the stay which is far from ideal. There is also no way of drying wetsuits after use in the sea as no outside hanging space. Also an iron was provided in the property but no ironing board to use with it? Also with regular trips to the beach throughout the stay and no vacuum in the property to clear up sand debris off footwear was a nuisance with just the use of a dust pan and brush. You would have to ensure you have plenty of extra beach towels and clothing to last during your stay if you wish to not use a local launderette during your stay. Also no dishwasher so the facilities provided are pretty basic which does not reflect well in the rental cost per week. Fabulous location and great heating but the other factors I’ve mentioned were a huge let down and I feel it should be made known in the property details about the lack of laundry facilities onsite and cleaning facilities to keep the property tidy during a stay here. Otherwise it’s in a great location.

  Just stayed here for a week.

  There was a few problems on arrival: 1: there was cobwebs and spiders in the bedroom, bathroom and living kitchen area 2: ants on the floor in the kitchen area 3: the patio area was very over grown (nothing like the pictures shown) 4: there is a cat which is not mentioned in the description. (Our dog doesn't like cats) When we knocked on the door and mentioned these problems to the owner we were told the patio area is a wildlife one and the weeds are too much to maintain, there shouldn't be cobwebs as she had just spent three hours cleaning the property, the birds like eating the ants and she couldn't do much about the cat other than say he doesn't go in the patio area so wouldn't be a problem. ( The cat does go in the patio area as we found out one morning when we took out dog in luckily on a lead) The owner could tell we wasn't happy and went and got the hoover to suck the cobwebs up, put any powder down outside and starting trimming the over grown patio area. The owner also said over the weekend her husband would mow to make a path for us, it never got done. We couldn't sit outside or let our dog off the lead due to it being so over grown or our dog chasing the cat. One thing about the description that is right is it's in a good location, easy access to crantock beach and fistral beach.

  This is the first time booking through Sykes and I found it to be a quick and easy process.

  The cottage was as described and the location was perfect for travelling to places like the Eden Project, St Ives, Truro, because you are not far from the A30. Upon arrival and contacting the owner we were met by him and shown around the cottage and then he left us to enjoy our holiday, but was on hand if we needed anything or any question answered. The cottage is in a lovely rural setting, it was very clean and everything was there that we needed, including milk in the fridge, a windbreaker and chairs to take to the beach (in case you didn’t take any) There was a bookshelf full of dvds, games and books to entertain you when you arrived back after a long day sightseeing, this was a lovely touch. When we were there we used the JustPark app which was very useful as you haven’t always got change for the parking, also it gave you directions to find your car and you could add time without going back to your car, which is always handy if you are still on the beach. We loved this area and the cottage was just perfect for us as a family of 3, also it is designed to be very wheelchair friendly and is ideal if you have got a family member that is either disabled or is in a wheelchair. We are definitely going to book for next year.

  Great location, within waking distance to the beach.

  The place was really clean. I’d alerted the owners to there being no oven gloves and fish slice and the next day both were provided for us. Both us and our dog were made to feel very welcome. And the enclosed garden space just for us to use was brilliant for our dog The owners also offered their garage to store our sports equipment. The place has a generous parking space off road with loads of room for our van. The wifi was intermittent, so I wouldn’t recommend if you needed to work from the accommodation. It would be great if there was a vacuum cleaner availble as we took our dog to the beach a lot and the place got quite sandy. The only warning to other guests is the bathroom door. There are gaps in the slats of the doors which doesn’t give much privacy. It wasn’t a problem for us, but I wouldn’t have liked it if I was in a new relationship!

  Mr and Mrs Farmer are lovely and very helpful.

  The location is beautiful and so peaceful. It isn't easy to find holiday accommodation for people with physical disabilities. The cottage was lovely and ideal, with lots of room for a person with mobility issues to move around in. The wet room is also very helpful for disabled persons or persons with mobility issues. There is lots of info about Cornwall, maps and places to see etc. available. DVD's and SKY tv provided as well as WiFi. I don't have anything negative to say about the cottage and my stay. My mom, the person with mobility issues, only had one little grumble and that was that she found the couch a little too low and struggled to get up from it. Apart from that, she loved her stay too. We will definitely book this cottage again if we are travelling to Cornwall and would recommend it to anyone with a physical disability who is planning a trip to Cornwall.
