Miss Mctear June 2019

“Turfrick was an amazing setting.”

We all loved the house and it was a brilliant place to be based to visit other places in Cornwall. Would highly recommend. Only downfall was the parking but the house was so great none of us were troubled too much as we just parked at the top of the hill.

Mrs Gallyer June 2019

“Cleaning needs to be addressed.”

The grill tray was dirty (cleaner when we left than arrived), items in dishwasher and just didn’t feel well cleaned (dirty under flour length curtains). Also access is a real problem (we couldn’t get our car into the drive at all) so I think this needs to be made clearer as parking in St Agnes isn’t easy!!! Arrival pack disappointing too, needs more tlc/personalisation. Great house though and loved St Agnes.

- Mrs Gallyer, June 2019

Thank you for the comments following your stay. We’re really pleased to hear that overall you thought the house was great and enjoyed St Agnes – we do hope you had an excellent holiday. We’re sorry to learn that you experienced some cleanliness issues and are grateful for the detail. We’d like to let you know that following your stay some significant changes have been made, with new cleaners now taking responsibility for the house. We have every confidence that any cleanliness issues will now be resolved and look forward to welcoming more guests this summer. Owner relations

“The cottage was beautiful, very clean & had everything we required.”

The only improvement I would suggest would be another shower in the upstairs bathroom. We also had an issue with the external doors from the sitting room - the lead door opening is restricted due to the LPG tank and the paving is very uneven, this resulted in two of us spraining our ankles.

Mr Bradley Qc March 2019

“Turfrick is a beautiful well appointed, ideally situated cottage and a pleasure to stay at.”

This was our first visit to Cornwall and visited many delightful places. St Agnes was an ideal base and would love to visit again .

“Good communications between Sykes and us.”

Swift answers to fairly trivial questions from us Cottage extremely comfortable, well decorated and equipped

- Mr Sheehan, November 2018
Mr Piggin November 2018

“The directions to get into the property were not clear, we spent 10 mins trying to find the front door.”

Parking was not clear either, it mentioned that cars should be parked in the garage but there is no mention of the high, our vehicle did not fit and we had to find somewhere else to park. The ground floor shower needs a curtain as the bathroom floor was soaked after a shower. also the beds were very uncomfortable and Overall a nice location and modern fit out, nice to have milk and scones on arrival,

- Mr Piggin, November 2018
Mr Allan September 2018

“Booked asking for twin bed to be made into a double before we arrived however this failed to happen.”

Contacted Shoes on arrival and fault not rectified till Tuesday of stay requiring further phone call. Recycling and waste outside storage appeared not to have been emptied for weeks. Shame as cottage nice.

- Mr Allan, September 2018
Mr Daniel July 2018

“Turfrick is a fantastic well equipped and laid out house occupying a prominent hillside position very close to several pubs and the village.”

The parking access is a little tricky though for all but the confident driver. The dogs loved it and there is a reasonable sized garden around which they can roam. The cove is a 10 min walk away but with stunning views along the coastal path. A great base for any holiday, we will be returning.

- Mr Daniel, July 2018
Mr Fleer June 2018

“Wonderful and very comfortable cottage with a pretty garden, very quiet, though in the center of St Agnes.”

- Mr Fleer, June 2018
Mr Simm June 2018

“Turfrick is a beautiful cottage in a great location.”

We found it to be clean, bright, extremely comfortable and very dog friendly. The garden is superb for dogs and I'm sure excellent for sitting out in. We didn't really get the opportunity to sample it as we managed to pick the one week in June that was cool and virtually sun free. The cottage is well equipped with all the white goods that you could want and had really good technology - excellent fast broadband and Sky TV. The downside to the cottage, and one that shouldn't be underestimated, is its access and especially the parking. I had read the warning about the driveway and had researched it using Google maps street view and so had a good idea of what we were going to find. However, it was really extremely tricky to park a moderately large car on the driveway. The lane to the cottage is very narrow and steep and is lined by a cottage on one side and a wall on the other. There is no way I could have parked the car by myself. The car's sensors were screaming at me to abandon any attempt but these had to be ignored and I was reliant on my wife guiding me in with often just a couple of inches of clearance. The problems are exacerbated by the neighbours parking a Transit van at the bottom of the drive. This makes manouvering into the drive even harder. Alternative parking can sometimes be found in the village but there are only about five spaces. The approach to the cottage as described on the website omits the fact that there is a narrow, steep and often slippy path to reach the steps that are mentioned. We arrived with heavy bags and suitcases and found the effort required to be pretty exhausting. We are both retired and a younger couple would probably have managed easier. So would we go back - no chance. Loved the cottage and all its amenities and location but the access issues are just too much to consider it.

- Mr Simm, June 2018
Mrs Mccallion June 2018

“Lovely place , when we arrived the kettle wasn’t working ,rank Sykes and couldn’t have been more helpful !”

Can round personally with a new kettle .

- Mrs Mccallion, June 2018
Mrs Worrall May 2018

“The bungalow was extremely well equipped and beautifully presented throughout.”

It was superbly clean and ideally located close to the amenities and beach. There were five people and 1 dog who stayed at the property and we didn’t want for anything. Would thoroughly recommend.

- Mrs Worrall, May 2018
Mr Van Zijl April 2018

“It was a lovely place near a sweet village.”

Very dog friendly. Nice hiking around with the dog. Kitchen was very complete.

- Mr Van Zijl, April 2018
Ms Pepler March 2018

“Lovely house in an excellent setting.”

good facilities in the house and the village. Parking and access interesting but that was clearly indicated and we were prepared. Would happily return.

- Ms Pepler, March 2018
Dr Signy December 2017

“Terrific cottage, lovely position close to best pub in town, 10 minute walk to beach, and very well equipped.”

Slightly awkward parking more than compensated for by everything else. Strongly recommended.
