What our customers say about their holidays

  I thought the inside decor was really cosy and beautiful and was surprised by the uplifting high ceiling and windows at the back of the lounge area with views of outside trees.

  Lying in the hot tub with the trees and sounds of bird song was really relaxing and really miss that part of holiday. Please don’t get rid of the hot tub as made the holiday extra relaxing. We were also surprised how close we were to sea; as walkable in 10 minutes. After couple of days discovered cliff path from top of lane hill; just outside houses area; I thought it was just someone’s drive; was handy to walk the dog. Would be good if there was a cliff path sign there, but it’s just handily opposite the dog poo bin. The cliff path area was stunning, and surprised to find walk north to Chapel cove closer than we thought( although would be more of a trek with a young family and beach stuff to carry; so would be easier then to drive to);and amazed such a small cove had a really good cafe and toilets. Would definitely love to come back sometime. There is a friendly grocery store; which we should have used more but had arranged a Tesco delivery; also a great pub and a relaxing bar where you can order food. Also a chip shop that is open the later part of the week and weekends. The gift shop near bar has a great supply of beach type stuff if you forget anything, like flip flops, beach mats, towels. If you love the beach; you really wouldn’t need to venture out of Porthtowan if the weather was good.

  We stayed here at the end of August 2023.

  The property is surrounded by other holiday properties, parking was difficult and you couldn't always park outside of the property which did cause difficulties. The area by the hot tub needs some tlc, so we only went out there once. We had to contact the owners as we spotted a rat on the decking near the patio door. The maintenance person arrived to put poison down, but it did put us off going outside to enjoy the hot tub. The bedrooms are comfortable so no complaints, the downstairs area was small as the dining table is huge and takes up a lot of the space so it is difficult if there are quite a few of you in the property. The cleanliness of the property was average, we had a problem with the upstairs shower in the ensuite, it was taking forever to drain so you had to be careful not to be in there too long. The road up to the property is single track, walking down to the beach is difficult especially if you have children as when cars are going up and down there are not many passing places to get out of the way of the cars. Overall I would not return to this property.

  I left a message in the comments book which basically covered everything.

  Lovely position, near beach. Road to it very narrow, Sykes say 3 parking spaces but only one when you get there and it states this in the property folder. Family member burnt his hand on a faulty radiator which later fell off the wall as brackets literally melted. This tripped the switch leaving us with very little working, including hot water in two bathrooms. Hard to contact anyone and had to use phone in nearby pub to leave message. Maintenance made live wire safe but was unable to fix/ replace. Left with one electric shower only do struggle for my elderly mother. Lovely welcome pack of cream tea on arrival, best hot tub and hot tub maintenance ever experienced. Homely feel, decor and comfort. I’m sure we would return again but only if Sykes can promise all facilities are in good working order and give clarity on parking space/ spaces?? Also, give clearer directions please as I used Google maps to find exact address.

  We had a wonderful stay at Tolcarne with our dogs and two teenagers.

  The property has been updated with all the facilities needed and was clean on arrival. All the rooms are decorated to a high standard. We had a few issues with the EV charger, but this was eventually rectified. The short but steep walk into Porthtowan meant that we could have an extra cream tea! Porthtowan itself if beautifully unspoilt, with a couple of places to eat and drink, a local store offering fresh baked goods and general items at realistic prices, everyone was just so friendly. The beach and surrounding area is truly stunning whether the tide is in or out. The walk over the cliff path to Porth Chapel is definitely worth the effort, especially for the views and the ice-cream at the end. The teens enjoyed the surf school and would highly recommend. Would we go back? of course. In fact we had to force ourselves to leave. Thank you.

  The property was in a lovely location, a short walk downhill to the beach.

  The beach bars are also easily walkable. The only thing the location needs is a road sign, as it's so easy to miss. The small road/track you need towards the houses, is immediately after a car park on the left. We have a lovely cream tea welcome pack left for us. The house itself is lovely, nice high ceilings and plenty of room. No wardrobes, just hanging rails, which is Ok for a short stay. But getting around the bed with that was a little annoying (we had the downstairs room). TV and Alexa. We didn't really cook much, but it was all there. Take some toilet roll, as there didn't seem to be quite enough for our weekend. The hot tub was a nice treat, and it actually stayed hot. Overall, we were really happy to have stayed there, and would consider it again.
