What our customers say about their holidays

  We enjoyed our stay at Heatherdale, Treknow.

  The Victorian house and it's location exceeded our expectations. We know the area and particularly liked the walk up to the coastal path overlooking Trebarwith Bay, then round robin back to the cottage via Gull Rock House. There are good views from the front windows over pasture fields towards The Strand and The Rumps in the distance. The Rear Garden was secure for our hound dog Bertie but the front garden was for the most part unusable due to the road and no front gate. Within, the house was well equipped, the beds were comfortable and we can see the owners investment and care in creating a holiday feel. Through a big storm we felt protected and when the sun shone we were booting up for another walk or a trip to the tidal beach, setting up our days according to the low tides. There are some maintenance issues. The bathroom sink and hob are cracked, the shower head bracket would not hold it's angle in place so showering is easier hand-held within the bath. The rear patio furniture could do with an update and the middle gate latch needs attention as it blew open a few times. Minor points though not detracting from our enyoyable break... we were sad to leave and would book again.

  The property was not clean.

  Hairs and toothpaste found in the bathroom sink, dirty marks on the toilet seat, sticky marks and food crumbs on kitchen worktops, dusty, dirty surfaces and floors. Photographs provided to Sykes. The television did not work and it was clear from conversations with the owner that she was aware of this and therefore property listings are knowingly inaccurate. In my opinion, parking in a 'nearby street' is misleading. Guest are not made to feel welcome. There is no welcome pack and not basics left in the kitchen. Not even a teabag. No hand soap, or any soap to wash ones hands after visiting the toilet, on arrival at the property. Unfortunately, finding a dirty and unhygienic property outweighs any positives that this property may have. Furthermore, the attitude of the owner was poor as was the attitude of Sykes. The owner is in breech of contract, as stated in Sykes booking conditions, yet Sykes will not do anything about this. Furthermore, Sykes ratings clearly cannot be relied on and are not only unhelpful, but misleading when trying to choose a property. Therefore, I could not recommend Sykes to anyone.

  The holiday home was absolutely wonderful, it was like a home from home and we would love to stay there again.

  Fantastic location and so well equipped! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! The garden was enclosed which was great for our dog and children when we weren’t exploring the area. It’s a house with so much personality, they have books, games as well as body boards, buckets and spades. The kitchen has everything you could need too! It was exceptionally clean. It’s the best holiday home we’ve every stayed in! The 15-20 minute walk down to Trebarwith Strand through a field and a little wooded area is delightful, there is a pub, also very nice, and a shop selling beach bits and bobs including very good ice cream. We would highly recommend a walk to Tintagel along the South West Coast Path from Trebarwith Strand, it’s about 2.4 miles and a little hilly but the views are outstanding. We can’t wait to come back!

  Lewarne is a beautiful house.

  Extremely luxurious and spacious. Fully equipped with everything you need. Boscastle is a lovely quaint cornish National Trust village and an excellent base to explore North Cornwall and the surrounding areas. Boscastle has some lovely reastaurants and tea house, all of which we would highly recommend. The Witches Museum is a must to visit. Full of intrigue. There are so many beaches to explore. Some with easy access, some are slightly more challanging to navigate. Lewarne had a lovely feel to it, very homely. Please do not be put off by the fact that you cannot park outside the property. We unloaded the car with no problems and parking is only one road away. We never had problems trying to find a parking place. Lewarne was the best property that we have ever stayed in.

  Absolutely wonderful holiday in a beautiful home.

  We enjoyed every minute. The owners of the property had gone to great lengths to provide everything possible needed for a great holiday. Their attention to detail was second to none,From books to read, DVDs, jigsaws, games, washing facilities and even a torch to go exploring and binoculars to see the wonderful view ! We were welcomed into a cosy warm home with all the information we needed provided in a well organised folder. Even a box with leaflets on places to visit. Their visitors book was full of warmth and praise from previous happy holidaymakers and of course us !!! The house is set in a beautiful quiet village with stunning views and the gardens are private and beautifully kept. There is nothing negative to be said !!! We would happily return one day soon!
