  This was my first time with Sykes and I would definitely use again!

  Booking was so easy. Got regular emails giving me all the information I needed - before, during and after! Had a tiny glitch during our stay and the response and timing was just superb - very impressive! Loved the star system and having booked a 4 star house I was not disappointed. Primrose Cottage was exactly as described. New refurbished it is clean, welcoming, cosy and has everything you need for an awesome holiday. Two very spacious rooms with lots of storage space (can be a rarety).. Light, airy, clean. Bathroom with shower upstairs was sufficient for our needs however this a large bathroom with bath downstairs too :-) Kitchen diner was just brilliant - SO well equipped. Big fridge/freezer. Great oven. Wine rack :-) Washing machine and dishwasher. Garden was perfect for afternoon sun and wine. Grass area for the dog and decking area with comfy chairs for just relaxing. Lots of pads, parasol, body board in outside storage. Accessed from patio doors from kitchen. The only tiny downside is you can't access the garden without coming through house. We were lucky with the weather so my dog was always clean and I put towels down on the cream carpet in the living room but if you have a dirty dog after a walk make sure you are prepared. Bailey dried off in garden before allowed in lounge area so no problem for us. And the kitchen has a lovely laminate floor so dog friendly. Lounge had a settee, chair and two bean bags with a great telly. Just perfect for relaxing in an evening. I was worried about the lack of parking on the drive but it really wasn't a problem. You can load/unload and there is cul de sac 20 seconds walk away where there was always parking. So please don't worry about this aspect! Highly recommend both Sykes AND the accommodation. Will definitely use again and hope the next house is just as perfect. Thanks for having us!

  Wow. My wife has managed holiday properties in the Scottish Borders and every box she looked for in a well managed property had been conclusively ticked in Primrose Cottage.

  The whole property was spotlessly clean, beautifully laid out and homely with a fully enclosed garden area to the rear. Bedrooms were comfortable with sufficient room for storage of clothes and beautifully quiet. The upstairs shower was best suited to a smaller person but that was more than compensated for by the full sized bathroom downstairs. Being a cottage of its era the stairs are quite narrow and comparatively steep compared to a modern house, maybe not best suited for someone with mobility issues. Parking was about 50 metres away due to access for neighbours. This didn't prove an issue during our stay and avoided having to negotiate the blind exit from the front drive. A mirror has been provided to assist with exiting the drive but it still felt like a leap of faith pulling out. Location was great with Hayle being a short walk away for shops with a good selection of local accessible areas for exercising our dog. All in all if we were to be returning to the area Primrose Cottage would definitely be on our 'wish list' of properties to return to

  We experienced problems during our stay regarding a terrible smell of drains.

  We tried to report it on the emergency phone number (Monday), it went to answerphone and we had no response. On Tuesday we called the Management Team and they were quick to respond. We believe someone visited the property, while we were out, as on returning, we could smell cleaning products. However, by the next morning, the smell was back. We emailed Sykes requesting they inform the Owner of the problem at the property. (Still waiting for a response.) Also, we sent Sykes a photo of the weeds, bindweeds and brambles near the seating area of the garden. We really liked the location of the property and feel it’s a shame we had these problems. Near the back door and in the upstairs and downstairs bathrooms the smell was very unpleasant. Whenever we were at the property we had all the doors and windows open and went to the extremes of getting up at 5.30am to air the property. By Thursday we’d had enough and left. We left a ‘polite notice’ for the cleaner to make them aware of our concerns.

  Lovely break in a cosy well equipped cottage ideally suited to a couple.

  The area is quiet and rural, a very private group of properties down lovely little country lanes but very accessible - and well located to explore West Cornwall, including Lands End and The Lizard. It was good to have a patio that was fully enclosed for our dogs (and lovely for pre dinner drinks!) but visitors might want to check this is the same for you based on the breed of your dog and their ability to jump and roam! Access to the patio is via a side gate (i.e. not direct from the house itself). There is also a pretty (unfenced) front garden shared with the next door property and a nearby field just across the lane (shared with cattle behind an electric fence). Very welcoming hosts who provided lots of really helpful info in advance of our stay. Would stay again :-)

  Not very dog friendly at all, trying to get to the dog field a tractor came and we had no room to get through, owner very helpful, but the way to the field was covered with brambles.

  Someone cutting the lawn at the back while i was in the shower . Not very private, I booked the cottage because I wanted to be alone after family problems, the owner was trying to be helpful, maybe I should have said i wanted to be left alone. beige carpets for a dog with muddy paws i had to put blankets down . Also not allowed to leave the dog in the cottage, not even when i went to the shop, so don’t know what i was supposed to do with him. It was a lovely place, spotless and great views, nice garden, it would have been perfect for two people . But dog fields were not great, one had cows in and the other was hard to get to, If you just want to get to the beaches and take your dog there it was great.. Couldn’t fault the cottage and the bed was comfortable .
