  I booked this for other members of our family to stay in while we were staying in Gullsway:Kittiwake down below.

  The Annexe seemed to us to be brighter and more spacious than in the pictures. Remember that it is a traditional Cornish holiday house, at a very fair price for the location - so, not perfect and modern, but perfectly acceptable for an enjoyable week's holiday, and with original features. Heaters and double-glazing made it very cosy even in February. Views are great, as noted in other reviews. The Annexe and Kittiwake aren't directly connected - you really need to go outside and back in again via another door (although you can go through one of the Kittiwake bedrooms at a pinch, but that's a bit awkward). But Kittiwake is big enough to take everyone for meals, lounging about, etc., if needed - or you can split up between the different spaces. So... quirky. Some points noted by my family for the owners/Sykes: - single mattresses very comfortable, double mattress not so much - new loo brush please - the key box for The Annexe is labelled Kestrel - an old name assumably - but it is a little confusing if one arrives late at night! - the code for the key box wasn't included in the email sent to us - I assumed there wasn't one until I got there and we couldn't get in! These are small things. Given the price and location, this was an excellent addition to Kittiwake.

  The Annexe is a great addition to Kittiwake.

  The main bedroom in particular has great views of the beach and out to sea and is large and comfortable - but it's all good - giving 9 beds in total between the two properties. Note for Sykes/Brays/owners: We found the door into Kittiwake from the hallway a little problematic - particularly as it was a wet week and so going outside and back in through the Kittiwake door wasn't ideal. We really wanted to use the middle door often - but given the bolt on the inside was the only way to shut it fully, this was tricky. Some thoughts: As with the door at the top of the stairs, could a strong door-closer be put on the lower door? Also, could a Yale-style lock be put on the door, with a key on the Annexe key-ring - so that Annexe folk can get in and out of Kittiwake securely? The two properties together make such a good combination - it would be great if they could connect a little more easily for guests. This increased flexibility and security would allay fears when strangers are in Sandpiper (as with our stay this time), while allowing easy access up and down stairs.

  The cottage is in a stunning location which makes it.

  However, it wasn’t entirely clean, there were finger nails on the table underneath the cook books. There were also no settee cushions (only decorative ones) on the backs of the settees making for very uncomfortable seating. The mattress in the main bedroom was very uncomfortable. The hot tub was dirty (I have photographs) and so full of bubbles and chlorine (because it hadn’t been cleaned) it stung our eyes. It also ruined my silver jewellery, which I have never had a problem with wearing in a hot tub before. Again down to the amount of chlorine. My jewellery is very sentimental to me as most of it was bought as gifts from friends and family, so this I am most gutted about. Unfortunately I will not be recommending this beautiful cottage based on the above.

  The cottage is absolutely perfect if you are looking for a quiet get away!

  me and my partner spent the whole weekend in the cottage with out really feeling the need to leave, everything essential for a weekend stay is provided in the cottage all that we had to worry about arriving with food and water lol! The hosts do a great job of ensuring the bedding, towels, bathroom and kitchen utensils are spotless. The cottage was immaculate upon arrival and it is clear to see the cottage is well looked after all year round. There was one slight issue we encountered and that was the fact the hot tub wasn't heated and ready upon arrival................ However, this is very much a first world problem and would 100% not effect my decision to stay here again in the future!

  This is the third time we have stayed at this lovely cottage.

  The location is amazing and the cottage is really lovely. It was a treat to arrive to see it had been refreshed with a new carpet etc We only have a couple of niggles: the tv is tricky and this time we did ask for help which was forthcoming. But the device isn’t great tbh and we had to sign in to our own Netflix account. It is also really tricky to get towels dry so we always take our own plus some beach towels … some more hooks in the bathroom and another heated towel rail would be amazing as the damp sea air has sometimes resulted in a boring trip to the laundrette in Truro to wash and dry towels! That said, we love the cottage and will return next year: highly recommend it ;-)
