  Cottage is very well equipped and in a great location. The views from the cottage are amazing and a real selling point. This is our second stay here as we loved it last year for these two reasons. The house was however not very clean when we arrived (there was a lot of dog hair all over) which made it tricky to let our baby and 2 year old play on the floor. In addition, the parking is extremely tight - the drive way is sandwiched between a wall and next door’s garage which meant a lot of precision was needed to park and move the car, including having to move the car out to allow passengers to get in and out (not ideal for those travelling with prams and car seats!). It’s also worth noting that the property is positioned on top of a steep hill (which gives the amazing views), however the walk into town, although very short, includes a walk down (& back up) a very steep hill.

  We had a wonderful time In Cornwall.

  This is the second time we have booked with Sykes Cottages. Hebaska was perfectly presented and the location and type of property was super for our family. We enjoyed many a night playing badminton in the garden which is a perfect place to relax and unwind after a busy day at the coast. Thank you to the property owner and to the wonderful cleaner who contacted us on the second week at the property. She was extremely helpful offering to change bedding/towels and also provided information about when the bin go out. The only down side, there was no recycling service at the property. This was not the owners policy, but I believe it was the local council who make the decision. Sad to see so many bottles go in to the first weeks general waste. The cleaner however, came up trumps when she offered to recycle the second week for us. She was a superstar! Thank you.

  Trecarrack is in a very good location, the views from the seating area are fantastic, we were able to watch the seals through the binoculars and have a perfect unobstructed view of St Ives and Porthmeor beach. Kitchen has all that you require, outdoor seating area, utility room, TV room ( which we didn't use ). One thing to note is that Trecarrack is located at the top of a very steep hill and some may find it difficult. Parking is available and with some difficulty we did manage to reverse our Discovery around the corner of the next door property, not easy but if you have a smaller car, VW Golf size it shouldn't be too much of a headache. Overall we thought the property was fairly good value for money, although there are one or two issues which I have raised with the owners.

  Lovely comfy beds, well equipped house in a fab location.

  Had a great week enjoyed by all the family including the dog. Positive feedback, It lacked that personal touch of a welcome pack that reading in the visitors book there use to be. Such a small thing but makes the guests feel welcome. There was no bin bags, dishwasher tablets or cleaning materials left to clean the bathrooms and kitchen throughout the week. We had a phone call to advise us the shower leaked which happened all week every time we showered as there was 6 of us that was a lot of towel usage to mop up the flooded bathroom floor so no one slipped over. . Had a few phones calls from the agent but they never ended up coming round. There was also no container for recycling glass or any information to find a nearby location to do this.

  We had a lovely stay at Hebaska.

  It was a peaceful location with a nice view overlooking the fields. A couple of things we would say, is that the sea view in the photos wasn’t quite the same in person, we could see a tiny peek of the sea due to trees and surrounding areas. Whilst we appreciate this may be out of your hands, the photos on the advert are very misleading. The cleanliness of the house could have been better - there were cobwebs in corners, the oven wasn’t cleaned and smelt, we couldn’t use it for the smell when it was turned on and one duvet had blood stains on. Also, following on from a review in March 2024, the shower in the main bathroom is still leaking, which meant only the shower in the en-suite was usable for the whole week.
