So clean. Had everything we need Plus more.

Mr Reed August 2020

“Great location for exploring Falmouth town on foot.”

The Slipway was very well equipped kitchen wise and gave ample seating areas and good sized bedrooms. Stunning views of the harbour from the upstairs and courtyard from the bedrooms, very quiet. I was apprehensive about parking as previous reviews stated the garage was very small however we parked our VW Tiguan comfortably. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
Mrs Prett February 2020

“Fabulously comfortable and very well-equipped with everything you’ll ever need!”

Delicious scones/jam/cream on arrival, thank you! Lovely sea view, extremely quiet, really close to the high street shops and the sea, private single garage parking was perfect. What more could one ask for! Thank you for a wonderful week! Wish we could have stayed longer! The only thing missing was a soap dish and shampoo/shower gel rack in the showers, which would have been very useful instead of keep having to reach down to use these items (especially bad for people with bad backs/disabled people). You should tell hirers in advance that you also provide tea towels, hand soap, washing up liquid, dishcloths, dishwasher tablets, tea, coffee, sugar/sweetener, as we brought our own and didn’t need to! Otherwise, a perfect week!

“Fantastic accommodation.”

Beautifully clean and well equipped. Great location in town yet it was a peaceful location with a gorgeous view. Sat with a cuppa every morning looking out at the boats.
Mr Garfield-ford September 2019

“The accommodation was spacious, clean, well equipped and perfectly located with great views from the sitting area and balcony.”

We wouldn't have changed anything.
Mr Davies August 2019

“The cottage is delightful and has a lovely view over the harbour.”

It is very well equipped and provides an excellent base for exploring this part of Cornwall. The garage is suitable only for a very small car and so parking is an issue. Public carparks are some distance away and street parking is restricted so that involves constant relocation of cars.
Mr Stranks July 2019

“Good well equipped and comfortable accommodation.”

garage is really small , just got my mini in. Beautiful views but shame the windows were dirty. Could have done with comfortable chairs on the balcony to enjoy the views for longer , but would definitely recommend.
Mrs Greenfield June 2019

“Fabulous location, easily walked to centre of town, pier, shops and great selection of restaurants.”

Extremely comfortable cottage, very well equipped including a wide range of dvds and books. Loved the views from the upstairs living area.
Mrs Gardner May 2019

“We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at Slipway Cottage.”

There is everything...and more....that anyone should need whilst staying there. The cottage is also very near to the little streets of Falmouth. However we had not expected to be so overlooked by other properties, and thought we would have been able to walk by the water. The courtyard area is rather claustrophobic, and the garage is a VERY tight fit! The steps up to the property are very steep, and slippy. The steps up to the main street are even worse...MUCH steeper, and about 30 of them, (I didn't count them....too busy trying not to fall down them!). It should be made clearer that the property is NOT suitable for children, or the disabled. We have stayed in lovely cottages with Sykes, and this one too was very nice, but not quite as expected.
Mr Greig May 2019

“As a family we all loved the location of the property and the cleanliness of the cottage was fantastic.”

The only thing that is generally missing from all the places we have stayed at is a radio. That's why we always bring our own. Apart from that, cannot fault Sykes cottages for the type of properties on your website.
Mrs Blunt May 2019

“We thoroughly enjoyed our week here.”

The cottage is very well equipped, warm, comfortable and one of the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. The welcome pack was particularly appreciated.
Mr Sturges May 2019

“Amazing property as always from Sykes had everything and more that we needed ...”

Amazing property as always from Sykes had everything and more that we needed would definitely recommend Sykes for holiday accommodations we will obviously use them again
Mr Maw March 2019

“We have stayed at this property 6 times now.”

The location is lovely. We feel that the flat needs a bit of money spending on it. The sofas are beginning to look tired and also you have to constantly "plump up" the cushions. The living area seems to get a bit more cluttered each year and we are mystified by the number of giant "carpet cubes" which take up so much floor space.
Mr Tranter January 2019

“A very well equipped,comfortable 'cottage' and in a great location on the town centre but not very convenient for those with mobility problems as there are 20 steps to the cottage entrance and a steep incline (or even more difficult steps) to access the main street.”

It's not a cottage in the traditional sense, more of an inverted duplex house with a flat roof on a large harbour front redevelopment-the view from the living room is a partial harbour one but no views from the GF bedrooms. It's at the top end of prices for a January break so we were somewhat disappointed as it wasn't a frontline property and the decor is in need of a freshening up particularly white woodwork and some walls Parking was a trial-the garage only has room for a small/medium family car and dire warnings about penalties for parking in the..empty..courtyard Despite these comments we had a great stay..with an extra night sorted out by Sykes due to snowbound Cornwall
Mrs Fellows November 2018

“The cottage worked perfectly for us and we had a great weekend break.”

The property

Aptly named Slipway Cottage is enviably located beside the gardens in the prestigious waterside development of Packet Quays just fifty feet from the slipway.

Approached from a courtyard by a flight of stone steps one cannot fail to be impressed by the atmosphere created within this tasteful mix of luxury cottages and apartments wherein nautical elements prevail.

A stylish reversed level cottage with stunning views over waterways busy with colourful sail boats and vessels of all kinds, a unique holiday experience awaits. Displaying a superb double aspect the living room is effectively unified into separate lounge and dining areas by an integral staircase.

An undeniably relaxing space smartly furnished with deep comfy sofas in beach themed stripes on one side and a dining room opening onto a new slick, uncluttered kitchen on the other.

Large windows and doors open onto a balcony which virtually spans the frontage on two sides provide a choice of vantage points from which to enjoy the ever changing scene.

Downstairs balconied bedrooms boast super king beds which separate into twin beds for versatility, hand crafted furnishings and fabrics in sea washed colours.

An en-suite shower room and lavish bathroom provide excellent facilities. With a history bound up with the sea, part of Falmouth's charismatic appeal is undoubtedly its magnificent harbour and scenic waterfront.

Bustling narrow streets are home to a range of fine restaurants, old inns interesting shops, and the Maritime Museum.

There is a private garage (access is 2.12m wide by 2m high) beside the courtyard for parking one car.
