What our customers say about their holidays
Jayne - Verified booking
We have been booking with Sykes now for a few years and every place we have stayed has been wonderful until now.
We turned up half an hour before the allotted time but it gave us the opportunity to see where the cottage was before we went for a coffee. We got out to let our dog go for a quick walk and we could see the cleaner was still in the cottage. Well I say we could see, what we heard was a small baby crying and a man shouting expletives at someone (we think maybe another child). It was horrendous. We got in the car and went into polperro. When we can back an hour later it was quite clear that whoever is the cleaner is had spent more time swearing than cleaning. The kitchen was a a disgrace and we have photos to prove this. The cooker top was smeared and not at all clean. The cooker equally so with a baking tray inside with a puddle of grease on it. The floor hadnât been mopped and there was dust on shelves and cupboards with a sticky film that had been there for some time. We had to clean the kitchen before we were happy to cook in it. Upstairs was little better as the mirrors were all smeared and looked like they had been cleaned with a dirty cloth. The tv stand downstairs was also covered in dust and every horizontal surface was dusty and not helped with the amount of nick-knacks which had also not been dusted. The front door is a stable type but the bottom was not secured with anything as the bolt had broken and one which was missing completely. It could only be held in place by the top door. The hinge on the bottom door was loose so you had to really slam it shut. My husband did find a screwdriver and fixed this. The place also suffers from damp as there appears to be little damp course outside so rain water was held in place by the decking. Every cupboard we opened smelt musty and the area by the back door also smelt damp. I did buy a plug in room freshener to at least mask the smell. Not good when you are an asthmatic. All in all we were very disappointed with Sykes on this property and it was definitely cleaner when we left than when we arrived. Another security point. The key for the property was accessed via a key safe in the garage except the cleaner hadnât bothered to even change the code when he put the key back so as soon as I opened the garage door the key fell out.

Cottage itself was in a lovely location, pretty central for everywhere.
It had pretty much everything you could need utensil wise and everything was clean, well except the floor, I was wearing white trainer socks on arrival and when I went to take them off that night, they were filthy. I even had to clean the soles of our slippers because they were dirty when we left, and I have beige carpets at home. So not impressed with that. Also, thereâs no instructions for anything, when weâve stayed at cottages in the past, thereâs normally a book, with everything you need to know, how to work the heating, WiFi code, how to use the oven etc. took us 2 days to realise there was in fact a microwave, which, I must say, is pretty dangerous, as itâs above the oven and grill, so if your short, you either need help, or youâll wear whatever youâve heated up, not very practical. Couldnât find a washing machine either? Again, no info in cottage. The rooms are comfortable, but if youâre in the twin room, you can hear everything in the toilet. Also, I think people who had stayed previously had had dogs with them, as Iâm allergic and had a reaction as soon as I walked in. Might be worth giving the place a proper good clean and change blankets that dogs have probably sat on, especially if your next guests arenât taking dogs. Overall we had a good stay, but would we come back? For the location, definitely!

The cottage was clean and facilities were reasonably comfortable.
However, we were disappointed on two main grounds: 1 the "fantastic sea views" are available only from the far end of the garden ie about 60 or 70 metres from the cottage. There are no sea views from the seating area of the cottage and even the garden views from there are uninteresting. The pond seems to be leaking and is need of maintenance and replanting. The garden is very large, but is almost entirely given to lawn and not at all private to the cottage. We were fortunate that the owners were away as the main house is very close by. 2 The television did not work on 4 of the 7 evenings we were were there, due to "weather conditions affecting reception". At the weekend BBC channels were not available at all, and interrupted on the Monday and Tuesday. ITV was sporadically available. We were told that "nothing could be done", and although satellite might solve the problem. This seemed to be an entirely common event, and so the notes on the property should make this clear so that people can make their own decisions on whether to book. The surrounding area is great, and the coast down the path (about 800m) is beautiful, but we wouldn't stay here again.

Loved the cottage.
Clearly a huge investment has been made. The standard of finish and overall comfort of the cottage is superb. Would say that locating the property in Duke St was not easy. No number 38 on the property) which made it difficult when there was traffic coming down Duke Street behind us. People didn't appreciate us stopping. Also, the central heating was very hot when we arrived but had to spend the first 20 minutes on the phone to the agency to ask how we could alter it. The system is remotely controlled so assumed it was turned off, but when it got a little chilly the next day, we didn't have the means to turn it back on, other than with another phone call. Can a ceiling of temperature be put on it and then the occupier be allowed to manually alter it up and down from there perhaps? Padstow is a wonderful place to visit and relax and Lantern Cottage is one of the best properties you'll find there. Caffe Rojano and the Cherry Tree Cafe were one of our favourites. If those couple of points about the cottage could be addressed, I'm sure it would make life a bit easier for future visitors. Thank you :-)
