What our customers say about their holidays

  What can I say, just "wow"!

  This place is incredible, such an eye for detail has gone in to, fantastic furnishings, bathroom and kitchen. The property is in the garden of the owners, but we didn't actually meet them once so felt very private. The hedge between the cottage and their garden has grown high enough now to provide privacy from their garden, but still lets plenty sun onto the patio. The garden is completely fenced/gated so doors can be opened up and the dog could roam free, there is a small lawn area for doggy toileting and washing line. Lots of interesting tropical plants and a full herb bed for seasoning dinner and the BBQ! The cottage is very well insulated so it can get quite warm when the sun gets on it, we tried to shut curtains when we went out to keep it at bay, but you can open massive wide doors and windows when you can back to cool it down quickly. I would recommend a top sheet is provided for the bed as the duvet was very thick and so too hot, we always travel with our own, but would be a nice touch. The water pressure is also quite slow in the shower. In terms of location, it is perfect, set in farmland away from town it's so quiet and peaceful, but only a 5-10 min drive to Porthleven and and Highburrow cliff path. Also ideal location for Lands End and Lizard penninsula. We managed to find plentry of 'secret' beaches no one else was on, even in amazing warm weather, and lots of vegan food (including numerous places selling vegan ice cream for our lactose intolerant doggy, she was beyond happy!) 10 min drive to supermarket in Helston if needed.

  While the property was welcoming enough and kept in a good state to which we kept it, it was smaller than it appeared through the images advertised.

  The parking situation was a little tricky and we sadly damaged the underside of our car. It is advertised as dog friendly which it is however it is not secure at all so be careful letting your dogs outside, also the owners have several dogs themselves who wander down which is fair enough however we sadly have nervous and reactive dogs so caused us a few small issues but otherwise it is set in a nice location for dog walking. Sadly it wasn’t for us really and a further reason for the low rating was being charged £100 housekeeping bond when the property was left as we found it, the money was taken by Sykes without consulting us at all, we sadly had no chance to ask what the issue was and upon contacting them to ask for the images and evidence so we could try to see if there was anything that was indeed wrong that we had missed, I heard nothing back despite contacting them twice. As we cleaned the property before we left and returned everything to its proper place I was understandably upset to have been charged extra money without any explanation from the owners or from Sykes. For us it won’t be something we book again sadly, however I would say that if it is for a few days and you aren’t going to be in the property much then it’s not a bad place to stay. But it is not suitable for any larger dogs in my opinion there really isn’t enough space.

  This really is a unique experience. We came here for three nights in early October for a bit of peace and quiet away from the metropolitan rush. We certainly got that. It is difficult to list everything good about this place in one review. It is a self sufficient shepherds hut located in a secluded meadow in the Lizard Peninsula. The affable proprietors have left no stone unturned to ensure you have a wonderful stay. Comfortable four poster bed with premium bedding, log fuelled hot tub, barbecue hut, hammock, seating area, kitchen and superb power shower make this a perfect break whatever the weather. One word of warning is that because the hut is run off its own solar power it doesn’t cope with electrical items such as hairdryers or straighteners but you are advised about this. It is in a great location to explore all West Cornwall has to offer. In the current climate it is excellent value for money. We will most certainly be returning

  Bella's Place is set in an idyllic location bringing peace, tranquility and natural beauty to your door. Mark the very friendly and accommodating owner lives just a short distance from the studio and offers a wealth of information regarding Cornwall itself and locations/ restaurants to visit. You will also have the opportunity to meet Mark's four dogs if you like animals with Bella giving you a daily visit if you leave the bottom gate open for her. Tthe studio really is a home from home especially for Bella, she really is adorable. We wanted to rediscover Cornwall as it has been a while since we were last there and Bella's Place provided us with a fantastic base to return to after a day exploring the numerous resorts on our list. It truly is a hidden gem and one we would love to return to when we next visit. It was perfect for the two of us and had everything we needed for our week stay. We would definitely recommend 100%
