I sent them a detailed email and forwarded a copy to Cornish Cottage Holidays. Since our return I have tried to contact Cornish Cottage holidays (holding on the phone for several hours). I received a call back from Sykes holidays (Emma) and she promised to get back to me in 24/48 hours. Still heard nothing back. As a client (who used to run my own holiday cottages) the most important thing is to have one point of contact who can respond - not 4 different organisations as in this case. I am still awaiting a response to my email of 3rd February. Pendower Cottage is in a fabulous position (the reason we selected it) and generally the cottage is lovely but was let down by the issues I outlined in my email and my conversations with Cornish Changeovers and Emma of Sykes Holidays. We would hopefully wish to return to the cottage in the future to enjoy the peace and warmth we were expecting. I look forward to some response from one of the operators.

We arrived on 22 December until 29th December. On the day of arrival we had no internet working next morning we reported this to Sykes and Cornwall 24 he team to be told they would urgently look into this for us as we had no other contact with video calls to family abroad . We was also told that there had been previous problems with internet there. 4 other calls where made middle of week to try and get some help out during our holiday. We are quite elderly and had no phone signals or internet to be able to contact anybody. Sykes have said they are waiting the property owner to respond still no response. I do feel this is very poor of St Aubyns when we have been coming to their cottages over 20 years . This certainty spoilt our Christmas also paying a very high price expecting everything working

However, an engineer arrived at the property without warning at 8am the morning we were leaving with a replacement hob. WHY werenât we warned about the fault in advance of our arrival?! This spoiled our system our stay.
