  1. Tried to book the holiday online with many attempts over two days.

  Site locked up on the payment screen. Rang to book which was not straight forward and was surprised that I was dealing with Sykes and not Cornish Cottage Holidays. This could account for my Banks reluctance to pay. 2 The directions to the Cottage were wrong and did not direct us to the Cottage and we had to ring the phone number provided to try and find the cottage. We were surprised to find that we were talking to someone in the North of England who was initially reluctant to help “as she did not know the area” After persistence on our part she did manage to direct us. 3 On entering the Cottage we were greeted with a very damp and musty smell. Fortunately, we cleared this by opening all windows, but we could not remove the musty smell from the bathroom all week which made it uncomfortable. 4. The entrance and egress from the road to the cottage caused the car to bottom and damaged the underside. (We are awaiting a report from a garage and this could result in a claim) We spoke to people in the other cottages, and they said their agent had warned them of the hazard and advised them to enter from the other direction which we did with no problem. This all said the Cottage its self was excellent and location was good but obviously more care was needed.

  Trevowhan house is a gem of a holiday cottage.

  Beautifully and sympathetically styled, warm, cosy and with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. If only we could have booked some dry weather, too! This was our second stay here, but this time the weather wasn’t kind to us. However, if the weather dictates that your holiday will largely be indoors, this is the perfect place. Plenty of wood is provided for the log burners if you should need extra heat or even if you just want to provide a lovely ambiance in either of the reception rooms. There is a huge selection of books, covering every genre (including children’s books) and a decent sized TV. There is also a digital radio. The master bedroom is extremely spacious, beds are comfortable, with good quality bedding and there are throws all over the cottage if you should need extra warmth. The views from the bedrooms, on a clear day, are absolutely lovely. The owners, Tamsin & Matt, have kitted the cottage out very thoughtfully and have ensured that you have everything you need. I’m a little concerned about writing a review saying how much we love Trevowhan House, as we will definitely want to return and don’t want all the dates to be booked up (!) but it is definitely a cottage we will return to again and again.

  The perfect holiday property!

  Everything was perfect, and we could not find a fault with anything. The location is stunning, and also very quiet. It is the perfect place to de-stress and unwind. I came away feeling very relaxed and that I had slept well too. The bed is sooo comfortable! It was hard sometimes to pull myself out of it in the morning. The house was spotlessly clean everywhere. We travel a lot, and have to say this is the cleanest house that we have ever rented. The bed linen and towels were good quality, as was the mattress and pillows, and also exceptionally clean.. The house is beautiful as is the scenery from the windows. Pulling apart the curtains in the morning to a scene of surrounding glistening turquoise coloured sea is amazing. The moorland is also beautiful, and so interesting too. The whole area is. The décor in the house was also good quality and also the art work very impressive. We loved the SMEG oven in the kitchen too! The Owner was very friendly, polite, easy going and helpful. She also responded very quickly to any query. We highly recommend this beautiful house to stay in, and will most certainly be booking it again in the future!

  A really nice cottage, although there was a strong damp musty smell on arrival.

  The kitchen was really well equipped. We had problems with the oven (it didn’t work) but the owners came out immediately to see if they could rectify the problem. They even offered to buy us fish and chips because we couldn’t cook our meal, which was a lovely gesture. The cottage is furnished in a rustic style but there’s a fine line between rustic and basic. Parking is a problem, we managed to squeeze 2 cars onto the drive but our third car had to be parked away from the property. The biggest disappointment was the beds. The bunk room is tiny, and I mean tiny, I feel the advertising for the cottage should state that it’s not really suitable for 6 adults. The reason I have given a low score for comfort is due to the double beds. We have never slept on such uncomfortable mattresses before. Hard, lumpy and old. To be totally honest, it’s just a little insulting to be expected to sleep in these beds as paying guests. Because of this We wouldn’t recommend the property to others and we certainly wouldn’t return. However put in decent mattresses and we’ll be happy to do so.

  Had a lovely week’s stay at Trevowhan House.

  The cottage is period style in the main but decor and furniture in keeping with that style. Despite it being August, we did need to put the heaters on in bedrooms overnight, but they heat the rooms up well. Plus, feather pillows which is uncommon in most rentals but a really plus point for me, I am a bit princess and the pea, but struggle with hollowfibre pillows, so I slept great with these! Waking up each morning to beautiful sea views also a bonus. We used the wood burning stove in the living room a couple of times just to boost warmth. Without the heating, the property would be damp and cold. The kitchen well equipped though. On arrival a lovely bunch of meadow flowers in dining room, and flowers in kitchen window as well as bottle of wine. The small touches like this make the difference. If could make a suggested improvement, the larger bedroom could take a king size bed, and this would enhance comfort for guests. Otherwise we had a really enjoyable stay.
