“It would have been useful to have information about places of interest to visit.”

(Could have been photocopies that could be disposed of to be COVID safe).

(Could have been photocopies that could be disposed of to be COVID safe). The cottage was a good size and comfortable. Accommodation was also good for the dog :-)

“Found the cottage adequate for 2.”

Everything we needed. Only down side was we could not regulate the hot water, it was on constantly and boiling . Camelford was 4 miles away has a Spar and Co-op and a lovely park. Try the four seasons cafe lovely breakfast . We enjoyed our week despite the weather being Poor 22-29 May. 2021

- Mrs Bowler, May 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. The hot water comes from an immersion tank, previously there was a timer but due to limited hot water, the timer has been removed and the immersion heater is on constant. It is only the taps in the property which run off of the immersion tank. The shower in the property is an electric shower. Owner relations

“Booked this place at the very last minute and was lucky to get the dates I wanted.”

The cottage is lovely, had everything that I needed and the area was so quiet and peaceful. Everything is roughly a 20 minute drive away, which isn’t too much of hassle. The cottage was very clean and decorated lovely. I will definitely be booking this place again in the future.

“The outdoor space is very small and because it is north facing you do not have any sun.”

The microwave did not work, but I suspect the owners did not realise this. On the whole, comfortable, the bedroom could do with more drawer space.

- Ms Rhinds, May 2021

Thank you for taking the time to send in your feedback. The owner has confirmed that the microwave will be checked. Due to limited space, it isn't possible to fit in a chest of drawers in the bedroom. There is a wardrobe with a large shelf and two bedside cabinets with drawers. Owner relations

“The pictures were deceiving as looked bigger than it was and it looked different to the published pictures with the furnishings.”

..was not that clean,filthy under the settee ,oven not very clean and full of leaves out the back so had clearly not been swept up The shower was dated and didn't work very well , poor quality towels which were really thin The positioning of the place was fine nice and quiet but overall was disappointed and will not be going back again

“Quiet”

We originally thought we'd be closer to the coast; Boscastle is approx 8 miles away, a 20 minute drive; the holiday cottage is located on a lane off the main road in a small complex of other cottages; parking on site close to the property; clean and tidy, functional - the rear of the property is a small courtyard area which is facing onto the small river, covered with trees so quite dark; the fence wasn't tall enough to allow us to feel safe in leaving the dog outside, also, it was broken in places which means the dog could easily have escaped; there are no shops nearby with Camelford being the closest town, a 5 mile drive away; you can walk around the area and the village of Tremail and the interesting RAD Davidstow moor is a ten minute drive away; Crowdy reservoir and Roughtor a 20 minute drive away. If you have a car then this location is great BUT you will need to drive to get to any beaches - Bude approx 15 miles away. No issues but wouldn't return as we wanted to be nearer the beach

Mr Hill September 2020

“The cottage was very comfortable and met our needs.”

Although the cottage is dog friendly we were unable to open the back door to let our dog out into the small garden which was not secure enough due to the low fence and gaps where the fence met the ground level in some parts. We would recommend this cottage although it is set in a village with no amenities and you need to drive at least 15/20 minutes either to Boscastle or Camelford. There is a farm shop about a 10 minute drive.

Miss Campbell August 2020

“Lovely cosy cottage.”

Had everything there that we needed and was in a great location to explore lots of Cornwall! We visited a different area / town each day! Would definitely recommend :)

“Easy communication with getting the keys and a lovely welcome package to!”

Mrs Colledge July 2019

“Although the cottage was as advertised and was fine for us as we weren't there a lot, the cleanliness left a lot to be desired.”

It was really quite dirty in places, lots of cobwebs and dust. Also the blind in the bathroom was covered in black mold which was not ideal - it meant we didn't feel we wanted to touch it so didn't use the blind. The oven set off the fire alarm almost every time we used it which was very irritating! Also, would have been great, in a self-catering place to have a full compliment of kitchen utensils i.e. scissors Also there were no instructions or welcome notes left. We appreciate there might not be a lot to say but basic things like where you take the rubbish, how appliances work, check instructions etc. would have been helpful.

- Mrs Colledge, July 2019
Mr Dutton July 2019

“There was a problem with the hot water, but the owner responded by sending a plumber the same day.”

The cottage was ideal for us. Our only disappointment was the distance to any food shops or Restaurants but for a quiet peaceful retreat it was spot on.

- Mr Dutton, July 2019
Mrs Allen April 2019

“Unfortunately, this was more of an error on our part, we should have booked a bigger cottage as these tend to be more comfortable.”

This one unfortunately, the seating was far from comfortable. There were no leaflets or information relating to the workings of any of the appliances in the cottage. The layout of the kitchen in my opinion was incorrect. No work top space and only a draining board to put clean dishes on and no where to stack the dirty ones. Where people had been with their pets, there was still some pet hairs in and on the furniture. And there were some bugs in the bowls in the cupboards. Sorry to leave negative feed back.

Mrs Leath March 2019

“Lovely relaxing break just what was needed.”

- Mrs Leath, March 2019
Mrs Harris February 2019

“The cottage was very comfortable and warm.”

The welcome pack was a nice touch. I have nothing bad to say about the accommodation. There is a washing machine in the kitchen which would have been great to use but there was no way of getting the clothes dry ie. a clothes 'horse' or outdoor line.

Mr Ferguson August 2018

“Really enjoyed our stay in the lovely cottage the only thing missing was wifi”

- Mr Ferguson, August 2018
Mr Carter July 2018

“Recently returned from a 5 night stay at this lovely cottage, really peaceful and tranquil location, situated off the main road down a country lane, but within easy reach of all the major towns and tourist attractions.”

We arrived a little early but the key key was waiting for us, where upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised to find a welcome pack of Bread,Milk,Biscuits,Coffee etc. Cottage is well equipped with everything you need. All in all had a very relaxing time, and happy to book again.

Mr Friede June 2018

“It is a calm and sweet cottage - you have all you need - and it was a lovely holiday time in Cornwall.”

Thank you for your support and thank you for this time.

- Mr Friede, June 2018
Mr Kyser June 2018

“The cottage was in a secluded hamlet and was very quiet if you want to get away this is the place to go.”

It is within 8 miles to the beach and nearest shops are in Camelford. Would highly recommend Peckish the local fish and chip shop they were so tasty. The cottage as everything you would need. The bed was very comfortable. Perhaps it would have been nice to have a couple of tennis rackets as there is a court on site. But overall everything was lovely. We have been to sykes cottages about 5 times now and not been disappointed first class.

- Mr Kyser, June 2018
Mrs Spencer May 2018

“The kitchen drain was blocked and spread stinking water all over the patio, this meant that the dog had to be kept indoors on one of the hottest days of the year.”

We had to break a branch off the tree and attempted to clear it ourselves. The drain was gunged up we partially cleared it only for the same to happen again the next day. there were no cleaning products in the property to help with this. Also, had a problem with ants in the living room which we had to deal with. The property was different from the pictures that we had seen prior to booking. Felt that the shutter type blinds were strange, and didnt give it a nice comfortable feel.The place could have been cleaner, cobwebs everywhere, not sure if we were the first occupants this year. None of the ouitside lights worked. No oven glove, and no info on nearby amenities. I did text the owner as we left, highlighting the drain problem and saying that it needed attention, and had she had the decency to reply I would not have filled out this survey. The location was good but there was no info on gear for the tennis courts. Although we were comfortable I would not recommend this property,

Stubbington March 2018

“This holiday cottage was absolutely great.”

Everything was there that you could possibly want. The bed seemed to hug you and was very comfy. It was a central position for where we wanted to go. Thank you very much.

About the location

CAMELFORD

Bodmin 8 miles; Tintagel 6 miles; Padstow 17 Miles; Bude 17 miles; Newquay 26 miles; Truro 35 miles.

The old market town of Camelford is located close to Cornwall's north coast and is ideally situated for exploring the wild country of Bodmin Moor and the high cliffs, hidden coves, fishing villages and surfing beaches that populate this beautiful area. The southwest coastal path is a year round attraction and the surrounding villages and hamlets harbour a wealth of country inns and restaurants. The nearest beach to Camelford is Trebarwith Strand which offers both surf for the more adventurous and safe rock pools for the younger members! Truly wonderful and only around five miles away, it is perfect for a day by the sea and is also dog friendly. Nearby Wadebridge has a vibrant shopping centre and the Camel Trail, while Padstow, Rock, Polzeath, Port Isaac, where Doc Martin is filmed and Tintagel can all be reached in less than 30 minutes. A superb location all year round.

Note: Babies welcome, regretfully no children over the age of two years.
