Slate Cottage

A comfortable and quiet location with easy access to the A30.

Everything that you might need well stocked kitchen facility. Would prefer a higher backed sofa but that's my personal choice. Otherwise could not fault the cottage great choice

The cottage is in a lovely place - very peaceful setting.

Entering the cottage, it had an awful smell of dog - even though it's pet friendly, did not expect that smell. Flooring needed a thorough cleaning. Fridge is grubby and appears to have a fault with temperature control. A lot of our food was spoiled overnight, as it had frozen! Fridge door felt insecure too. Oven tins greasy - I had to clean the grill before use. Extractor fan filter clogged with grease - pungent odour and potential fire risk. Inside the kettle is very discoloured. Looks like it's very old and probably needs replacing. Dining chairs very rickety and felt unsafe. Had to clean the ring of scum from the bath before use. Overall, this cottage looks like it needs attention, as it seems to have been neglected in areas.

Lovely cosy well equipped cottage, don't think I've ever stayed anywhere as warm!

This cottage was a cosy, welcoming gem.

We arrived between Christmas and New Year. The cottage was tastefully festive with further goodies waiting for us. We were lovely and warm and comfortable - a perfect place to have our short break.

Well what a lovely cottage.

I stayed over Xmas and It has everything there for you, to ensure your stay is perfect. The kitchen area has mostly everything you could want they left me some milk, a bottle of mulled wine, some lovely raspberry scones made up and put in the fridge for me on arrival, dog treats etc and put up some Xmas decorations. There were washing up cloths washing up liquid the lot all very well thought through. Pots, pans, cutlery, plates, bowls, everything you need and the cottage was immaculate and the upstairs bedroom and bathroom was also immaculate and a very comfy bed it was like sleeping on a sponge

Slate Cottage is perfect for a getaway holiday for two and their dog.

So peaceful. Just the birdsong to wake up to. Very well equipped; beautifully clean; great location to get to all our favourite places, Padstow, Port Isaac, Harlyn and Daymer Bays; cozy and tastefully put together. Definitely a 10 out of 10 and we're planning to re-visit.

Excellent cottage with great facilities.

Ideal for a us and the dog . Great for commuting as a central location.

When we arrived we couldn’t believe how beautiful this little set of cottage’s were.

And so close to Bodmin and other little villages nearby. Cream teas on arrival and beautifully presented stay and everything you needed and fully equipped for a lovely week away with our dog. I have to make reference to the Bed, the Emma mattress and pillows were amazing and now has us wanting our own. Fromt he minute we arrived we felt automatically at home, we travelled south Cornwall, Padstow, Wadebridge, Newquay (Perranporth) and everywhere from our base here and crammed so much into a week. We loved it, highly recommend and we will be going back. Thank you A*****

A very comfortable home from home, lots of extras that we have not had at other cottages we have stayed in.

We very much enjoyed our visit and would definitely go back again.

Great time at Slate Cottage.

Wonderful, quiet location and yet all of Cornwall’s attractions within an easy drive. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. Enjoyed the best nights sleep in the comfy bed and with the silence and darkness outside. Only thing lacking was instructions about departure.

Beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

It is in a great location for exploring Cornwall. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and appreciated the treats left for us upon our arrival. Thank you

Delightful property and everything provided.

Very quiet and good location for walks and exploring. Thank you we enjoyed our stay

I like so much my time in the cottage.

There’s all. The owner is very kind! when we arrived we found milk in the fridge and Easter eggs as gifts for our ba

Slate Cottage was beautifully clean and the little extras upon arrival were well received.

Nice to see the latest fire regulations had been adhered to too :)

We had a lovely week at Slate Cottage.

The cottage was warm, cosy and welcoming and had everything we needed. It is in an ideal location for the north Cornish coast and for beautiful Bodmin Moor. We didn't have enough time to visit everywhere we wanted to go to, so I'm sure we'll be back.

Lovely cottage,just what we were looking forward too,location was very quiet this was ideal for us ,great location,on arrival we found our host had left some provisions,milk,tea,coffee,biscuits,and a lovey cream tea pack.

We couldn't have asked for more,first time using airbnb this host was a great asset to airbnb,our many thanks,we will see you again .

Very clean and up together cottage, really nice location and area

We really enjoyed staying in Slate Cottage and would book again in an instant.

It’s lovely and quiet with everything you need so perfect for that get away from it all break. It is also in striking distance of many major points of interest so there are no shortage of things to do. The owner was also very friendly and the welcome gifts did not go unnoticed. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Lovely cottage in a great location for exploring all that Cornwall has to offer.

Courtyard gave our little dog somewhere to explore that was safe and there was a quiet lane at the back of the cottage to walk him in the morning. Bed was comfortable and the shower was hot and powerful. Downstairs gave us everything we needed as a couple, kitchen was well stocked with all we needed. Cream tea waiting for us on arrival was a nice touch. And thankyou to the owner for calling to say the cottage was ready for us before the allotted checkin, made arrival day that little bit easier for us.

Very quiet and comfortable cottage on a country lane.

Farm next door with a resident Barn Owl. Great location for touring and not far from Bodmin. The Borough Arms not far away and very dog friendly. Recommend for a great getaway

Lovely cottage but bed was uncomfortable due to bed frame rather than mattress.

Fantastic stay, thank you very much!

We fell in love with slate cottage when we arrived and it's been out favorite stay so far during our travels.

Literally a home away from home. Our literal only issue was the hot water. We couldn't for the life of us work out how to run it hot enough for a bath. Cannot wait to return Mrs J!

A very lovely cottage, clean, comfortably and just what we wanted to explore Cornwall.

Would recommend it to anybody of thinking of a stay in Cornwall. The cream tea on arrival was great, also the fresh flowers. Thank you.

if i had realised there was no washing machine we would not have taken it there is a dishwasher but there is not enough in the cottage to fill it you could have a smaller dishwasher and put in a washing machine the cottage was clean and we had a welcome pack its near to a lot of places we slept well there is a lot of condensation which is a bit of a pain but dont let me put you off this cottage is brill and we would go back and it was nice if the owner to ring and tell us we could go in early as it was ready for us

Very nice property, well fitted out

We were welcomed with a lovely bunch of flowers buttered scones fresh cream and jam there was tea and coffee, and fresh milk .

It was the attention to detail that impressed, dog treats ,food to feed the birds at the window, a lovely location, you couldn’t ask for more.

The accommodation was perfect for my wife and me and our little dog and had everything we needed.

We thought the cottage was very quaint and the location was great for a relaxed break. The owner was very helpful and considerate and could not have done more to make our stay cpmfortable.

The cottage was lovely and comfortable with county lane to take the dogs for a walk.

We really relaxed in the countryside and quiet surroundings easy area to get around to see cornwall.

Slate cottage was a joy to stay in.

Conveniently located with easy access to both North and South coasts and all in between. The accommodation was comfortable and provided all the necessities required. The owner was very considerate and left a few lovely items for our arrival. Highly recommended.

Slate cottage was an immaculately clean, lovely, comfortable and cosy home from home.

It had everything we needed for a relaxing week away and was perfectly located in a peaceful setting for visiting both the north and south Cornwall coast lines. There were plenty of delightful local pubs within easy driving distance. We enjoyed the ‘welcome extras’ kindly provided for us and had good communication throughout both with Sykes and the very friendly owners. We would definitely recommend this charming place.

Beautiful property.

Very cosy and welcoming and loved the little extras like the scones and some milk in the fridge. Also loved the biscuits left for the birds and the feeder on the window. Only downside was that we approached the property from Bodmin on the first night and it was dark and down some extremely narrow lanes with no passing places that scared the hell out of us and we weren't looking forward to making the same journey each day. Luckily if you approach the property from the other direction, it was much much better!

quiet, peaceful and comfortable.

shower on/off switch loose and needs fixing.many thanks

A lovely little cottage to stay at.

The only small criticisms were, no recycling facilities, no cupboard room to store food and no information book/folder inside the property. Also, although the property was quite clean, there were lots of spiders and cobwebs that had not been cleaned away that we had to clean ourselves. Overall it was a lovely place to stay though.

Had an excellent week at the cottage.

Booking was easy, gaining entry was easy and leaving process was easy. Very comfortable cottage in quiet location. Would definitely book again.

A really nice little cottage.

Nicely decorated and equipped. Comfortable, quiet, nothing negative give to say about the place. The only negative comment is about the location. If we can find a cottage in a village within walking distance of a pub and shop then that’s ideal. This cottage is down a one track road which was ok most of the time but we did come up against one of the “neighbours” who decided to show us we were driving far too slowly on “their” road.

Felt that there was insufficient storage area for food stuffs etc and maybe there was no need for a dishwasher.

Had a wonderful week, the accommodation was perfect, everything we needed was there and we are hoping to rebook again later in the year

We were extremely happy with the hoilday overall.

We would visit again. Everything was clean and tidy. We had lovely neighbours. Everyone was friendly.

Slate cottage is in a lovely quiet location, it’s a beautiful cottage and perfect for couples with dogs.

The cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable my only thought would be that maybe it had a now tv box or something similar and a larger tv as we like to go back on a evening and relax and watch a film or series but that is just my personal preference. The location is perfect as it’s lovely and quiet to relax and it’s literally only a 10 min drive from wadebridge. The owner even called to make sure everything was ok and it was it’s perfect. I can’t wait to go again and will recommend this cottage. I’m actually shocked it’s not booked out for the year ahead. If you are looking for a comfy cottage with that rustic feel Then this is the place for you. We hope to book for some time in the future

Lovely comfortable cottage.

It was great we could take our dogs. The one thing that let it down for us was the lack of a stair gate to keep dogs downstairs. We had to go and buy a mobile stairgate. Now we have one we will certainly go back

good location

It was very hot in the bathroom as the heated towel rail would not turn off.

Otherwise it was a beautiful, well equipped cottage. The location was a bit remote but the courtyard layout of the cottages made it seem Cosy and friendly. There was a good selection of information about the area in the cottage and the local maps were very useful.

Peaceful quiet location just what we wanted.

Central location for some beautiful spots both North ans South Coast. So our days filled with exploring and our evenings relaxing. All the comforts of home literally. Instantly felt relaxed from day one. Great holiday and the Cottage made that possible. Will deffinately stay again soon.

The stone faced cottage is within a cute courtyard of a few similar types and has all you might need for self-catering and is well positioned for day trips to Padstow, Looe, Fowey, Port Issac where they film Doc Martin and many other beautiful surrounding areas.

The country lanes in May were lined with bluebells and other wild flowers. We were made to feel welcome by the owners by telephone before arrival and had a very comfortable bed/bedroom with romantic juliet balcony and overall we had an enjoyable stay finding it to be quiet, warm, clean and relaxing. Views over part of a well maintained quiet farm to the rear and stone building and trees to the front left hand side of the property were pretty aspects to wake up to. We heard birdsong in the morning and even an owl during the night with our balcony french doors ajar to appreciate the fresh country air. We enjoyed a delicious Thai meal at the Tiny Thai in Wadebridge. Thank you to the owners and to the cleaner for accommodating our short notice request - Mark & Barbara from Wales

The setting of the cottage is beautiful and quiet.

A great escape from the busyiness and chaotic world we tend to live in. The owners were extremly helpful and supportive. We felt cared for when one of us was poorly. That "family" embraced feeling. We visited many places and re-kindled old memories and made alot of new ones. We will be returning and would definitely recommend staying in this beautiful cottage. Thank you for a lovely time away.

The cottage was in a brilliant location for exploring Cornwall.

It's usually difficult to get a cottage for family of 3 with 2 dogs but this cottage met our needs perfectly. The cottage was cosy and very well equip for are needs. We had a lovely stay thank you

I completely loved the holiday cottage, would live there if I could.

Very peaceful location but only short drive to everything needed. Only complaint was the WiFi was extremely slow to the point my Netflix wouldn’t work, but that was a minor point. The cottage had everything I needed and was immaculate, overall I loved the holiday and hope to return soon.

Delightful little cottage in a wonderful location, just outside Bodmin means the whole of Cornwall is at your disposal.

All the destinations are within easy reach, although tucked away it's only 4 miles to get onto the main highways to go on your adventures. The cottage is ideal for couples, or maybe with a single child, it has everything you need, although be warned elder visitors the double bed is low. For cyclists there is the Camel Trail at the bottom of the hill 1/2 mile away, you can ride all the way into Padstow 18 miles (downhill all the way) depending on your riding level it maybe wise to take the bikes to the trail rather than trying to ride back up the hill to the cottage it is steep. We had a slight issue but Sykes & the owners bent over backwards to get it resolved almost immediately. It's set on a farm which I don't think is working as it is so quiet, there were no tractors buzzing around. We thoroughly enjoyed staying there & will definitely consider going back.

Sykes cottages were extremely helpful in helping us find a cottage that was suitable for us and was available for the specific dates we required.

The cottage itself was extremely charming, comfortable, very well equipped and was very central for the areas of Cornwall that we love. We would definitely recommend Sykes cottages again and this particular cottage. Thank you.

Good range of accommodation to choose from on website.

Accurately described and illustrated. Easy to book. Good communication from Sykes and cottage owners. The cottage was just what we were looking for and it was great that we could bring our two dogs. The cottage was lovely, comfortable and warm (November visit) and had everything we needed. Will most likely go again.

Such a lovely little cottage in a lovely quite area.

Lovely property in a very quiet & peacful spot within easy reach of Bodmin, Wadebridge & Padstowe.
