What our customers say about their holidays

  We spent the most wonderful week at An Garth which is without a doubt one of the best holiday lets we have ever stayed in.

  Everything was spotlessly clean and the owners had excellent Covid-safe procedures in place. We were very cosy and comfortable during our stay. The cream tea and warm welcome from the owners was just what we needed after a very early start and a long day of travelling. This is much further west than we usually stay but the area is beautiful (& also very handy for visiting our favourite cafe - Rockpool in Mousehole) so we’ll definitely be back. I would highly recommend a visit to the Polgoon Vineyard (on the A30 towards Penzance) - their mulled cider is particularly delicious. We also visited the farm shop at St Buryan which had some lovely fresh produce (& I’m told the meat is excellent but as a vegetarian I can’t vouch for that first hand!). Lands End is stones throw away - such beautiful scenery & some lovely walks. yes it is much more commercialised than I remember it as a child but nowhere near as bad as I was expecting (just the usual - food outlets, gift shop & the ‘Lands End Experience’ which we gave a wide berth!)

  Enjoyed a wonderful holiday in the Stables, Burton Branstock and would love to return.

  The owner was very helpful advising us that we could check in to the cottage early and was able to give us advice on the local pubs and best walking routes to the adjacent beaches. The welcome pack of wine, flowers and biscuits were very much appreciated. The cottage was spacious and well equipped with top of the range appliances and the two bathrooms and extra toilet were handy with six guests. The location in the village was extremely convenient for the two local pubs and shops as they were only minutes away However, there were a few things that I think could improve the cottage. There was no artwork on the walls and things like books and games in the lounge leaving the ambience somewhat sterile. There were no door stops leading to the some of the walls being damaged. Clothes hooks on the back of the bathroom doors would have been handy as would waste paper bins in the bedrooms. But apart from these few things the Stables is definitely the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

  We had a fabulous stay at Moon Lizard.

  The whole space has been very well through out. The fixtures and fittings are finished to a high standard. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, as is the whole house, and the treats left for us were a very tasty and thoughtful touch. The living space is great for casual entertaining, and suits all ages. The little nook proved useful for the annoying (and inevitable) unfinished bits of work. Although we didn’t venture out much due to poor weather, the outside space was great for the smalls of our group to get a bit of fresh air between downpours, and we imagine would be fabulous during the summer. As mentioned by another reviewer, we had no mobile service and I would recommend that before arrival any documents be made available offline to help speed up initial entry. Once connected, the WiFi was more than adequate. Huge thank you to Wendy and Jamie for the great communication, too. I hope all your guest enjoy their stay as much as we did ours.

  Ive had a beautiful break with my family thanks to Sykes’s cottages for finding me the perfect break!

  The lady who helped me find the cottage was very nice and helpful and found me exactly what i was looking for! Im usually very fussy picking the right cottage or location and with the help of Sykes cottage i found this amazing Gem of a cottage right at the last minute a day before i went to my destination i booked this cottage and even though it was very last minute i managed to get something i really liked! The cottage was absolutely immaculately presented, a new build so no faults to find, based on the perfect location just about 10 minutes walk to the beach which was absolutely stunning! it was like being in a foreign country- truly beautiful! the Owner Peter and Pauline were also very friendly and helpful. This is the 3rd time i booked with sykes cottages and it certainly wouldn’t be the last! definitely would recommend :)

  Owners were friendly and welcoming.

  We had a problem with the shower head and it was fixed the same day. Loved the house and the view from the patio. Great location for Lands End, Penzance, St Ives, Sennen etc. Parking for two cars. Ideal for us. The beds were very firm and a spring mattress which took some getting used too. However, after a day of sightseeing etc I was too tired to care. It was very clean and tidy. I suppose the bed was the only thing I could find to say wasn't too my liking other than that it was absolutely fabulous and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to others. Would we go there again? ABSOLUTELY! A peaceful location down a country lane. I really didn't want to go home. We were lucky and had marvelous weather. Beautiful location.
