“Good location in a small village a few minutes drive from Falmouth.”

The village itself has a small shop, pub and restaurant. The property was well equipped, comfortable and warm (winter let), with a pleasant countryside view. Decent size garden- though being winter we did not use it. Oven and shower both worked well! The property was generally clean, except for the living room carpet which looked unclean and on closer inspection we realised it was coated in black dog hair.

The village itself has a small shop, pub and restaurant. The property was well equipped, comfortable and warm (winter let), with a pleasant countryside view. Decent size garden- though being winter we did not use it. Oven and shower both worked well! The property was generally clean, except for the living room carpet which looked unclean and on closer inspection we realised it was coated in black dog hair. We tried to rectify this with the provided hoover but it was totally full and the bushes were jammed. The other issue was some lights did not work, in particular an outside light would have been useful as we arrived in the dark and ended up getting muddy shoes whilst looking for the key. However, overall would recommend.

“This is a comfortable and clean bungalow in a small, quiet village on the outskirts of Falmouth.”

We like the location and have stayed here three times over the last 4 years - always around Xmas. Having a car is not essential but highly desirable, as bus service is sparse. However, the bungalow is starting to suffer from a lack of basic attention to minor problems. Both outside lights no longer work, the cupboard doors don't shut properly, Other lights are missing bulbs - no spares, the DVD remote has given up the ghost (last 2 years) - and no, it is not the battery ! There are other minor issues, but you get the picture. It is a shame because there is nothing basically wrong that some minor attention to detail would not easily sort out. I am emailing a list of issues to owner, so hopefully he can put in place the necessary fixes.

“The village of Budock Water is lovely.”

Joylands is well equipped and homely. Sitting in the back garden is very relaxing and peaceful. The view is amazing. It is a good base to visit various places in Cornwall. We would love to return.

“No everything was good,thank you.”

“Great bungalow, very comfortable, great location and peaceful surroundings.”

Please check with Sykes if you have mobility issues. The drive is very steep. There are three steep steps down from the drive and then two steps up into the bungalow’s front door.

“Joylands is a ideal holiday home and in a very good location.”

The bungalow itself is very warm and comfortable and we enjoyed staying here. However there were a few negatives. Firstly this is the first holiday rental where there has been absolutely no welcome pack which is very disappointing after a 7 hour drive and looking forward to a cup of tea. The interior of the bungalow was good but the outside garden was a bit unkempt and certainly not dog proof as there was a very low wall at the bottom. Also we didn’t really appreciate the plastic bucket at the back door full of cigarette stubs. One final thing to add is that the shower over the bath needs updating. Not everyone wants a bath and the shower really was very poor with little flow. To sum up l can see that this property is a little bit neglected and has some maintenance issues, particularly outside plus the lack of a welcome pack needs to be addressed. However at the end of the day we would come back again if these issues were sorted.

“This is our second visit to "Joylands", the bungalow is conveniently situated, close to Falmouth.”

On arrival it was warm and cosy, and clean. We had a great week, and would recommend it as a convenient, Holiday Let.
Mr Simpson September 2018

“We have stayed at Joylands several times over the past few years, the location is perfect for a stroll to Argal Lake or a steady stroll to Falmouth, both the town and beaches.”

The location is ideal for visiting the far south west be it, Lands End, The Lizard or St Ives. The bungalow is reasonably furnished and has all the necessary items to make the holiday complete.
Mrs Smalley August 2018

“Absolutely loved Joylands so much so we've just booked again for next year!”

Lovely relaxed cottage, really well equiped, set in a beautiful setting only a few miles out of Falmouth and close to Swanpool beach. I will say the the drive was expectionally steep so my husband just parked on the street outside the bungalow. We had a very enjoyable holiday and we're looking forward to returning next year.
Mrs Baker August 2018

“Beautiful bungalow, very well equipped.”

Comfortable beds. Lovely garden. Located in small village with good pub serving good reasonable priced food. Another restaurant in the village. Also small shops & hairdressers within a few hundred yards. Would definitely recommend & would be very happy to use again if we come back to Cornwall. Bonus a bus runs through the village which takes you to Falmouth from there you can catch buses to various other places in Cornwall incluing Truro, St Austell, Redruth. (Doesn’t run on Sundays). All in all fantastic place.
Mrs Finn June 2018

“Lovely holiday.”

“Budock Bungalow”

Great accommodation to return to after exploring the area. Clean and tidy.Would return for another stay (when it's not fully booked)
Mrs Edwards May 2018

“We found the recycling and collection of rubbish difficult and complicated.”

..where does the general rubbish go? No lids, fortunately it did not rain. Apart from that we had a lovely comfortable 10 days at “Joylands” and would definitely recommend it.
Ms Bavington April 2018

“The original listing showed it had 3/4 acre garden, this simply isn't true - it's a small garden about 50ft by 40ft, however, Google Satellite showed this clearly and we didn't need a large garden, but the listing HAS SINCE BEEN CHANGED from when we booked about ten days ago!”

Hence my rating. "A delightful bungalow in a leafy quiet road on the outskirts of Falmouth, set in 3/4 acre of enclosed garden. Two miles from Swanpool beach. Plenty to see and do in the area. Truro 12 miles." The bungalow was warm, plenty of hot water, clean and otherwise exactly as described. I couldn't find instructions for the recycling, apart from a scribbled note so this should be clearly explained. We found the m/wave instructions above the fridge after a few days - (which was a lovely large one with freezer below). Shower was excellent, plenty of towels etc. It really could do with some coat hooks in the bathroom for your clean clothes after a shower. It was a great base for touring around the foot of Cornwall with loads of walks from the property, on the whole we were very pleased and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Locals very friendly too.
Mr Walton February 2018

“Very good cottage close to Falmouth.”

Used this as a base for visiting family nearby in Falmouth so ideal for us. We were a bit surprised to find only one teaspoon and no egg cups but having left a note when we vacated the cottage, am sure this will be rectified. Beautifully clean throughout. Think it might be good to warn people when booking that the driveway is VERY steep, in case someone has an infirmity. Luckily no problem to us

“Fantastic Holiday”

We stayed here beginning of July so we could explore Cornwall. There was 3 of us and a dog good job as dog friendly.The Bungalow is in an ideal location Asda is only bout 5-10 mins away by car.The Bungalow is well equipped and includes a washing machine which is not on amenities list.Shower in bathroom great lots of hot water.Large fridge freezer ideal for big family.
David G August 2016

“Well equipped holiday house”

Very few reviews for this so it deserves some positve feedback. We stayed here for a summer holiday to explore south Cornwall. Location is superb - you have the best of both worlds in that you can walk into the countryside from your doorstep, yet Asda is a 5 minute drive away. The bungalow is very well equipped with a decent kitchen - huge fridge freezer and dishwasher. The lounge diner is light and spacious and looks out over the two tier garden and hill beyond. The garden patio gets the morning sun - great for coffee first thing. It is dog friendly and there is a dog friendly pub 2 minute's walk away. 10 minute drive to the nearby spectacular gardens and the beautiful Helford river. Good value for money and highly recommended.
