What our customers say about their holidays
Christina - Verified booking
Despite having made a phone call to Sykes/the owner before booking to ensure the described rear courtyard was secure for our dogs, and been assured this was the case, on arrival it was clear this was not for two reasons.
One, the gated rear entrance had no lock as it was in fact a thoroughfare for the next door property, and the courtyard belonging to the cottage was dissected by this alleyway. The courtyard for the cottage is off this thoroughfare which had no gates and was open to it. You have to come out of the cottage which backs onto the alley, and cross it to access the garden. Two, there was dog excrements (three piles of!) in the cottage courtyard when we arrived late Friday. A call to the managing agent was made and message left requesting a call back. As this was out of hours I expected a call first thing Monday. However no one called despite having described the problem and asked for a return call. When I called on Tuesday late afternoon the agent said they had not got the message and said they were surprised as they had checked the property themselves. That being the case it can only have come from someone using the alleyway and entering the open courtyard. This renders the courtyard not secure and clearly open to the public. I have seen the owners response to another review saying the courtyard was not secure. They suggest that house rules are dogs are not to be left alone in the property and this includes the courtyard. To be clear we are happy to, and did follow this rule, however we cannot sit and relax where our dogs are off the lead and anyone might open the gate and walk through the alleyway as they are likely to run to see who is coming into their space (a natural instinct) and be at risk of getting out onto the road. If I have to sit in the garden with my dogs on a lead I may as well be out in public. This is what we did in the end. We didnât use the courtyard and made it clear to the agent that we would not be doing this or cleaning up members of the publics dog foul. Other feedback is generally more positive. Cottage is pretty and compact. Great log burner for the damp conditions in both the cottage and the weather! Kitchen generally well equipped. A bit stingy to only say that one black bin bag of rubbish will be collected, for a weeks stay this felt very impractical. We ended up walking rubbish down to the bins at the long stay car park where was parked, there are large public bins there, included in the £55.10 per week parking fees! Bed was comfy, sheets clean and well made.paint work and carpets looking a bit grubby in places. Floors downstairs needed a good clean when we arrived as they were still gritty presumably from sand tracking in on previous occupants footwear. Nice touch to leave spices for use, however many of these were out of date and as the cottage was quite damp the powders had solidified and they would be best thrown away. Overall Iâd give this stay a 3/5.

Unfortunately the cottage was not as expected from the description.
Which was sad as the cottage was lovely for the right people and small dog not large dog(S). The plus side was we got to see our daughter, Son-in-law and granddaughter who live in Helston. The cottage itself was a fisherman's cottage as described, but there is no mention of ceilings in the downstairs of the house being so low which caused an issue for my husband who being 6'2". The property is pet friendly and two well behaved dogs are accepted, We have 2 doberman's so as these are not small dogs and due to booking in the summer months dogs are not allowed on many of the beaches between 10am and 6pm, especially Marazion. It was difficult to find walks for them that where not in the sun, or which attracted horse flies. The court yard was quite small and was not private and was not fully enclosed. The garden was gated but the courtyard was actually seperate from full garden and the outer gate serviced both Penhale and adjoining cottage and courtyard, this cottage used this as the main way in. The dogs would obviously bark, despite being supervised at all times. This wouldnât be ideal for anyone in the other property having dogs or being afraid of dogs. The kitchen despite having enough utensils pot, pans and herbs it was very limited with space. It only had an undercounter fridge and has 1 shelf freezer, the cupboard door of this integral fridge is extremely stiff and hard to close, hence in heat we have been having, food quickly goes off or freezer shelf melts as door is not correctly closed. Then all other food must be stored on 3 available shelves on a trolley and in a vegetable and egg baskets, encouraging flies and looking very unsightly. I normally take cleaning products with me but on this occasion, I had forgotten, I have found in previous properties items have been left or limited clean items are there for you to do a general tidy, in this instance there was no cleaning solutions to even clean tops when cooking. Then nothing even to clean bath, toilet or shower if you needed to and unfortunately the shower water pressure was extremely low.

First lets start with the negative.
Not all Sykes properties have a full maintenance agreement in place, and like this one have a cleaning only agreement. So if there are any issues you are basically are stuck with it since neither the owner or Sykes will attempt a resolution of the problem. At this property the hob does not work, as the contact number is only for the cleaning they were not in a position to help, when I phoned Sykes they left messages for the owner but they did not respond. As a result we only had an oven and microwave all week, meaning we were forced to eat out more than we wished. The cleanliness left something to be desired, as two large bin liners of rubbish were left outside on arrival for us to dispose of, and the toilet and bathroom stunk of cigarette smoke. A pity really as this with a little effort from the owner could be a 5 star rating. The internet is BT so the strength is top notch. There is a lovely TV with Amazon Prime which can be viewed in the lounge and bedroom. The holiday Park itself is well maintained and the location is perfect, there is so much to see and do on the Lizard peninsula you wont need or want to venture more than a few miles. It is worth mentioning the property has a coin meter for electricity. We were concerned it had only £10 on it, but we need not have been concerned, as believe it or not at the end of the week there was still over £2 worth on the meter. In conclusion more input from the owner required to ensure all amenities particularly the hob are serviceable and the property is properly cleaned between lets, but well equipped, reasonably comfortable in an absolutely fantastic location

We have visited Porthcurno for many years and it was great to return in September this year.
Seascape is clean and comfortable with easy access car parking but it is the little things that let it down. Every property I have ever stayed in over the years provides the bear essentials but we were very disappointed to find just half a toilet roll, a quarter of a bottle of Carex soap in the bathroom, just ONE bin liner in the cupboard, very basic tea and coffee sachets and no salt/pepper. I think for the price paid it wouldn't have been too much to expect a couple of loo rolls and perhaps a nice little wrapped bar of soap? A few biscuits in the welcome pack? The milk in the fridge was appreciated but considering the nearest large supermarket is a 20 mile round trip, I feel a little more effort could have been made. It felt like we were being told: "Here, don't expect any more than THAT!" I certainly never think to pack salt and pepper and also there was no cork screw so, when we sat down to relax with a glass of wine the first evening, we couldn't uncork it! The apartment is in a lovely position, the bed was comfortable but larger people would struggle with the tiny shower. Also we would have liked a lamp in the living room because you either sit in the dark watching television, or in bright light! We actually moved a small lamp from the bedroom to make it cosier. So overall the property is very clean and comfortable but no effort was made with the little things that, to me personally, mean a lot!

We had lovely stay in Bre Cottage.
Location is fantastic to enjoy the wonders of beautiful Port Isaac. There were a few things that we a little disappointing unfortunately:- - Only one bin bag provided so we had to purchase more - Only 1 toilet roll provide which meant we had to purchase more on our day of arrival (not ideal) - The main bathroom could benefit from a blind for privacy - The allocated parking space is difficult to find. Luckily the estate agents who own the property were open on our arrival and they very kindly drove us to the parking spot which was a really nice touch. We would suggest offering the location through the app 'what three word' as this would assist greatly - Cottage information pack states that recycling is not available whereas we worked out that it is actually available in the bins provided - It would be helpful if there were clearer instruction as to the the laundry room. It took us a while to work out that it is external room access from a separate outside door - Slightly disappointing that there was no welcome pack i.e. a pint of milk in the fridge would have been nice
