  Lovely flat in a great location that could be made even better with just a few small tweaks.

  The entrance way could do with better signage on the main doorway to enable renters to locate easier. Also better info given to Sykes and all booking portals. The dingy entrance stairway could do with a good pressure wash and a coat of paint to make it look more appealing. The flat itself. A welcome/information pack would be helpful. Where does the rubbish go etc. Dish drainer for the sink. Better crockery, most is chipped and may be because there’s no dish drainer, a selection of odd glasses that look as if they have come from the pub, not really what you expect on holiday. The shower. Oh gosh that was the main let down for us. Bathroom is lovely and modern but the shower is very temperamental, it either runs scolding hot ( very dangerous) or freezing cold without touching the temperature controls. Maybe it’s due to the water pressure as sometimes there was only a trickle coming from the taps? Overall the flat offers a clean and comfortable base in a great location to explore this part of Cornwall. Not sure if this flat comes with the advertised parking? There’s spaces to the side that seems to always be occupied by cars from neighbouring residents.

  Wow, a real home from home! The flat was amazing, so very spacious for a couple (and a pooch), we looked forward to coming 'home' after our day trips out. The bed was so comfy that we are considering a mattress topper! Everything very stylish, but not pretentiously so, and you knew you were in Cornwall. Kitchen had everything and more. A great place to explore the far end of England! Last day the weather was atrocious, but this didn't matter as we binged watched a Netflix series. So much that could be promoted on the website though... hair dryer and straighteners ( I never use, but know people who would be amazed by this!), coffee making machine, Netflix available, eco friendly cleaning and toiletries products, quality loo roll, dog bed and bowl (again we always bring our own, but would be good for others to know!). Recommendations for us in terms of eating out on Marazion - nothing to do with the accommodation - is that only the Godolphin and Kings Arms were open at this time of year, all booked up, so our first meal was a Domino's pizza :(

  This was my first stay with Sykes cottages and it was not a good experience.

  The flat inside was fine and but l had to clean it as light switches etc and all touch points were sticky and finger marks from the last tenants. Not what l call a Covid clean which l deal with every day with my work. Bench outside paint all coming off and could not use it. Decking paint pealing and moss all over.the flat has neighbours on both sides and their outdoor are is an eyesore. Had to pay £60 to park in station car park as no free parking at rear of the building which it does say in the advert. Street at the rear to narrow and double yellow lines. Entrance to flat is the maindoor to second hand shop. Entrance and stairs dirty. Neighbours are hourendous. One side dog barking and arguing in early hours of morning which kept us awake. The other side playing music until 4 am twice during our stay no respect for people trying to sleep. What was meant to be a relaxing holiday turned into a bit of a nightmare. We left a day early as had enough of the noise. Would not recommend this property.

  We spent an amazing 7 nights here and really loved it , the only downfall being parking, which is about 15 minute walk away , and also the fact u are overlooked if you sit outside for coffee which was disappointing, but the view of the sea was beautiful, the village is very nice, not great if you are disabled though or pushing a pram as the walk to the village means very thin almost no existent pavements in some places , the view once in the village is absolutely beautiful ,the beaches, st Micheal's mount, just lovely ! , we did try the local pub for food but really not great , we also stupidly tried the Chinese buffet, avoid! Awful ! , but the fish and chips shop in the village is very good , you also have supermarkets 2 miles away and some stunning beaches nearby .....praa sands beach is amazing! The actual accommodation is very modern and has everything u need for your stay , it's very clean and comfy

  No parking provided — despite it being listed spoke to agent from Sykes cottages on 30/9 as I gave feedback of our first night.

  Agent rang us to discuss my concerns and insisted there was at rear of property — narrow road with double yellow lines!! Also stated you could park at railway car park only able to do that if travelling on a train — which leaves only harbour car park. No dustbin provided for rubbish -agent said she would get back to us about this—but never did— only pedal bins provided in property — full bin bags were piled up — left by others at bottom of stairs blocking stairway —fire hazard! Access through foyer to second hand shops — never open??? Lock on foyer door not very good — struggled one night to get in. Property situated in a run down area — lots of noise into early hours from drunks walking past the property—not at all the holiday experience we hoped for - we actually came home 3 days early something I have never done before.
