  We booked sebright as a little getaway with our dog.

  I must say I was a little sceptical after reading the reviews. Sebright is a lovely, relaxing and private getaway in a lovely part of Cornwall. The owners heated up the hot tub for us as we travelled down so it was ready for us when we arrived. We arrived late as we couldn’t travel as early as we wanted but the owners left the light on and the keys on a safe place so we didn’t have to disturb them. The farm was beautiful, we didn’t see much of it as we had planned days out already but we absolutely loved the privacy of our stay, 6ft fences all the way round meant that you had safety for your dog and private space. The log hot tub was just luxurious, you can feel the heat piping in. Lodge was spacious and had everything we needed, we brought food which we thought would be easy to cook given previous reviews but honestly you could cook a full roast dinner here, the comment about ‘no facilities, scissors, mop’ they had weighing scales! We brought extra bits given the old reviews but ended up leaving them in the car. There was everything we needed to be honest. It was clean on arrival and there was some fresh scones, cream and jam and even milk in the fridge. We didn’t actually get to meet the owners but they were very friendly when arranging keys, and were disappointed we didn’t get to meet their spaniels! We brought ours! We didn’t plan for the weather well but that was our own fault so we did leave late Sunday night, to beat traffic but the fire was a cosy place to snuggle up and watch a film. We felt it was close to the places we wanted to go and visit and was perfect for us. We have told many dog owners how we thought this was a perfect secure getaway and a lovely break for us too

  We did enjoy our holiday.

  The place was nice but smaller than expected, however the sea view was lovely. We do have things to note though. I think marketing as pet friendly is not quite accurate. We kept our dog out of the bedroom as much as possible (as requested) however, one time he snuck in while I was grabbing something from the bedroom and jump on the bed just once. He did get a few mud marks on it but to claim that you needed to replace the sheets and under sheets, we think is a little misleading of your title as “pet-friendly”. We’ve been to Cornwall before in other venues which have definitely been more accommodating for dogs, especially as a fee for having a pet there is already taken for the holiday. To then ask for £85 for new sheets I would recommend changing your accommodation details for “no pets”. The hot tub was nice, although I’m not sure if everyone has used a firewood hot tub before, so maybe more information on this is needed for future holiday visitors. The bed was comfy and facilities were generally clean. We do believe there was either rats or some small animals scattering around outside but I guess to be expected for a location near farmland. Overall it was good, we had a discount due to booking last minute so we feel it fairly meets the price of booking we paid/to experience of accommodation. However, if we had paid usual price, we are not sure we would feel the same.

  Sebright was clean with great views and the enclosed garden was great for our dog.

  We were left with scones, jam and cream on arrival which was a nice touch. The Sebright in my view was/is a camouflaged caravan not a log cabin as advertised as l didn't want a caravan stay, although it would have been cheaper. The bedroom bedding was clean although rather heavy and felt that with a little better layout could have had bedside shelves or cabinets. The kitchen area could do with a toaster and a microwave although l appreciate the space restriction but worth it. The sofa was on the small side and sort of swallowed you when sitting down. We attempted to increase the heating one evening following the instructions without any luck so decided to put the log burner on but it was difficult to get going as we only had larger logs and not sure about the two small levers ? Some basic instructions for the log burner, hot tub and washer drier would be a help. The bathroom did smell of damp and the sink area could be increased to provide some extra area to put some basic products on or a toilet bag. Also a toilet brush would have also helped. So a cosy caravan not a log cabin as advertised but has great views and enclosed for dogs but it's not what ĺ expected especially for the cost. . .

  We had the most wonderful time staying in Primrose.

  We needed some time to get away, chill out and feel relaxed and this was the perfect place to do so. The sun shining in through the big windows each day made the space feel warm and cosy even in the November cold! The view was stunning and lovely area for a walk too. The bathroom was clean and spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I myself was working remotely for a few days throughout our stay and the speedy WiFi was a huge help to this too! The only feedback to offer is in regards to the kitchen resources - it would’ve been beneficial to have had a better quality frying pan, preferably non-stick, as even when using oil for cooking and soaking the pan before washing up, the pan was incredibly difficult to clean and we found that when washing, it took the coating off the bottom of the pan. It also would’ve been useful to have a pair of scissors. We did move the furniture slightly on arrival as the sofa was very very far away from the TV! But we moved every thing back before we left. Aside from this, everything else was perfect. Easy to find and access, plenty of space to park and great outside seating spaces too.

  Expensive, basic accommodation.

  Simple things like disposable dishcloths, tea towels and a mop not provided. Struggled to get items out of the oven 1st night as no tea towel or oven glove provided. Contacted Sykes on our 2nd day and I am still waiting for someone to get back to me. Wood fired hot tub provided with one bag of logs and a few fire lighters. No kindling so impossible to get the fire started. You cannot place logs onto firelighters. On our last day we were advised by the owner that there was to be an end of school party on site that evening and that he had neglected to tell us this when we arrived and apologised in advance for any noise or issues the party caused. We did not want to be around for this so decided to leave that day which meant we only had six nights which spoilt our last Positives is that it is a nice location and is near to local attractions and shops, the shower works well and the bed is comfortable but we would not stay here again.
