“The house was everything it said and had all you needed, the only down side the double bed needs a new mattress that fits the bed frame it is very hard to get into and out of as the mattress is far lower than the wooden bed frame other than that you have everything you need and more Views from the lounge and kitchen of Sennen Cove are stunning .”

The outside needs a little TLC a splash of paint and some weeding would tidy it up a make the place look better .

The outside needs a little TLC a splash of paint and some weeding would tidy it up a make the place look better . We found a lovely Pub called the Logan Rock Inn about 3 miles away in Treen St Leven the food was very good and friendly staff and the Fish and Chips down in Sennen Cove (the blue lagoon )are lovely but be aware the chip shop closes very early 8 pm but open all day..So yes a really good holiday .

“We loved staying at Brooks House.”

The house looked freshly renovated to us. It was very clean and inviting. The view from the living room down to the sea was fantastic. Yes there is a house in front of Brooks House, but it didn't bother us because we had a great view of the beach to see what the waves were like that day. In the house we had everything we needed, there was enough space for everyone and everyone felt comfortable. If you are not looking for something extravergantes, you are in good hands here. We would book it again.

“You definitely pay for the restricted view!”

Photos and description needs updating as they do not reflect the current state of the property, The property although clean is very tired with maintenance issues throughout eg windows not opening screws falling out of chairs, shower leaking. Basic accommodation not even a welcome pack, you need to take everything with you including cleaning materials. This property is definitely not suitable for young children, elderly or disabled Really disappointed as have previously stayed in Sykes cottages at much lower rate and a much higher standard of presentation.

- Sue, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We feel that the photos do clearly show that there is a property in front of ours, which is part of the view. The description and photos are clear for guests to make a decision as to whether they feel the property is suitable for them If they have young children, elderly or disabled guests. It is a shame that you did not contact us during your stay as we could have advised you were all the cleaning products are stored as we are on hand to assist any guests. The windows and the shower have been checked and found in working order however a screw in a chair had come loose but has now been tightened. Thank you again for your comments. Property Owner

“Great location and spacious property but.”

......smell in kitchen unbearable. Smell was septic tank venting straight back to property. Fixed by Jason after two days but ruined two days of holiday. Very uncomfortable bed and areas of property awaiting painting. Needs closing and basics fixing.

- Brian, April 2022

Many thanks for your feedback. Again we do apologise for the inconvenience and we are glad that you have accepted our gesture as an apology. The mattress on the bed is fairly new but we appreciate that bed comfort is personal preference. The touch up painting over the scuff marks has now been completed. Thank you again Property Owner

“The beds aren’t that comfy at all, They could all do with being replaced.”

it could do with a little bit of a makeover as it could be a beautiful cottage. The view is why I booked it and that didn’t disappoint

“The property exceeded our expectations.”

Although the property has a somewhat utilitarian feel, some adverse comments in the past had obviously been addressed. With a few extra touches the property would be excellent - it was extremely clean but a bit more attention to detail would make it feel even better - no toilet roll upstairs, one bin bag in the waste bin but no bag for recycling, no J cloth to wipe surfaces after use. Overall a very enjoyable week.

Deborah March 2022

“The property looks like it’s part way through renovations.”

The entrance hall looks very uninviting. Although we had what we needed there were no comfortable extras. The bedding was poor quality and appeared well used. The cushions on the sofas and chairs were well used and had no stuffing. The positive is the view of Sennen Cove.

- Deborah, March 2022
Tracy March 2022

“Lovely clean property, on arrival, Very helpfull caretaker Jason.”

Beautiful sea views, and comfortable furniture. Bed very uncomfortable for this quality of property, we are both small,I can’t imagine how larger people find it, In need of a new thicker mattress. Would suggest leaving a few more cleaning products, and a washing up brush, to help keep property clean during stay, Great for access to the beach, which is stunning. Overall a very lovely holiday home thank you .

“Only complaint the fridge needed cleaning nnd defrosting, overall good but could do woith a bit of TLC.”

The fridge could do with a clean and defrosting Overall good but could do with a bit of TLC. Lovely views from the lounge and plenty of super places to visit near by. s

“Views from house stunning however house itself in need of general updating as very tired and worn in places.”

Entrance area, plywood door and wall not painted, not a good first impression. Edges of carpet in hall very worn, lifted floor in bathroom, chipped laminate floor in kitchen. Bathroom door handle fitted showing big holes. Unable to close both bathroom doors. Fridge desperate for a defrost. Sykes advert stated enclosed garden. This garden is not attached to house, misleading. Left patio door in living room stiff, difficult to open. Several of these issues I questioned with Sykes after seeing recent reviews from other people. The owner assured these had been addressed. This is not the case! Very disappointed with this house. Would not recommend. Can't fault Jason the caretaker and cleaners however.

“We had a wonderful time at Brook Cottage, you can even hear the sea at high tide, which was an unexpected treat.”

Also the private path down to beautiful Gwenver beach was a huge bonus - it was always quieter in this crazy 2021 summer, when everyone holidayed in England (thanks to the small car park). The house was well decorated, and clean and fresh (very handy booster bathroom radiators for drying towels etc). It would be even better if there were more baking trays, enough plates for lunch and dinner, and the double mattress was renewed. Jason was always helpful and quick to answer any questions. We will definitely come and stay again.

“Loved everything but the double bed is really in need of replacement mattress”

- Hilary, July 2021
Fiona June 2021

“Brook House was lovely and clean.”

The beds however need changing as they were terrible. We couldn’t share the double bed because the mattress/bed was so bad that we both rolled into the middle of the bed, so I ended up sleeping downstairs in a single bed, still uncomfortable but better. Neither of us slept well the whole week. Also worth noting that the garden is not attached to the house. This isn’t made clear until you get there, so it’s not a case of letting the dog out the back door, you do have to get up and dressed and walk the short walk. The garden is lovely and secluded with a stunning view. The walk to the beach isn’t for the feint-hearted but is beautifully kept and a well placed bench to stop for a rest halfway is welcomed.

“An excellent location and view from a nice house.”

Overall it was as described and very nice, kitchen facilities were excellent and complete, a hair dryer is provided in the double bedroom. Some very minor niggles... Flooring downstairs in need of improvement, downstairs shower has weak pressure with no shelf to put products. Upstairs shower slow to drain. Washer-dryer has no rapid wash or dry feature. Heating system impossible to understand. Downstairs bedroom had a very poor set of drawers. Satellite map to beach impossible to follow, we were unaware of the easy path close to the house. Basins in both bathrooms had no mixer tap and extremely hot water. Although described as pet friendly it was hard to relax due to the sctrict rules on pets, with no cleaning facility for them outside or near the entrances. If driving, on the way to the property the first supermarket you encounter is Lidl, but it should be noted there are others a little closer, including a gigantic Sainsbury's with a cheap petrol station and a good Marks and Spencer.

“Absolutely stunning view from the kitchen and sitting room windows, however the main windows were so salt streaked when we arrived that we could barely see out of them.”

Appreciate that it gets salt spray but if these windows had been cleaned before we arrived the first impression would have been so much better. Generally well equipped but Inadequate pots and pans and no roasting tray. Also most of the main plates are cracked and the cutlery was very poor. Again appreciate it is a holiday let but we usually find kitchens better equipped. The secret garden was a bit disappointing. The grass could have been cut and the deck chairs were mouldy.

- Robert, May 2021
Stan December 2020

“Slightly disappointed to begin with but Brooke Cottage grew on us.”

Lack of flowers, pictures and welcome tray - because of CVID - left the house feeling a bit bleak but it was warm and comfortable. Jason was excellent in responding to the couple of issues we raised. ,

- Stan, December 2020
Tim October 2020

“Lovely location and view is stunning.”

Accommodation is well equipped, warm and comfortable if a little tired in places. The walk to Senna cove beach was a delight.

- Tim, October 2020
James October 2020

“The location of the property was perfect for the area we choose to visit places in Cornwall, inside the property it had its plus and minus points- was nice and warm and lovely view and furniture was good.”

the bedding/bed need to be renewed as was t very clean when asked to strip the bedding at the end I then saw the cleanliness of the bedding. with a little more improvements like the flooring is warped in places. it will be a perfect place to stay and I know it’s a dog friendly property but first impressions last so I’m only saying what we felt while staying at the property.

Stuart December 2019

“Yes we had a great time and it was a very nice house.”

Maybe put some grip on the stairs so the dogs don’t slip when they got wet paws. Apart from that ideal location and nice walks down to the beach.

- Stuart, December 2019
Henrietta October 2019

“The cottage was warm and cosy with beautiful views towards Sennen.”

Only one gripe, beware of the wooden stairs, they can be perilous if wearing socks! Other than that, it was fabulous!

Sarah September 2018

“The house was great - stunning location and very light.”

It could do with a bit of refurbishment and the double bed was very uncomfortable. There were nice touches like biscuits and tea bags and milk left for us. The caretaker and cleaners were very friendly and welcoming.

- Sarah, September 2018
Deborah March 2018

“The descprition of the sea view led us to expect an uninterrupted view, and there was a very large house right in front of ours.”

However we did still have a good sea view to the side. Also the walk down to the beach was quite steep and difficult in places and not really safe for the very young or less able

“Jason was very helpful and supportive.”

The location was good as was the cleanliness of the accommodation.

Iris October 2016

“Never found "the direct private access to the beach".”

Access to the beach was along a private road and then a public path to the beach. Properties on the complex were all rather shabby looking from the outside and in need of some renovation. Lovely location and partial view of the sea from Brook House but view was partially blocked by a large adjoining property, which due to its shabby appearance was depressing. Directions to the property could have been more clearly expressed.
