The Crest

We had a wonderful stay at The Crest & it was like home from home, everything we needed was there & it was the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed at & the attention to detail was second to none, spot on & you can tell that the property is loved & cared for ready for the guests.

We met Marisa the day before we departed & before that the communication skills were excellent & nothing was too much trouble, very obliging & friendly, it’s so nice that the owner lives right next door so on hand if there was a problem or you needed anything. We will definitely be returning in the near future as Cornwall holds a piece of our hearts & the scenery is stunning so thank you Marisa & we will see you again. Heather & Graham. X

The property was excellent in all respects, and the host most thoughtful and helpful.

It was the cleanest and most cared for property we have experienced and that is a testament to Marisa's hard work. We would not hesitate in recommending this property.

We found The Crest to be a wonderful property and everything was immaculate.

Marisa, the owner, is very helpful and friendly and made us feel so welcome. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed with many generous extras. It certainly lived up to our expectations and more after seeing the photos and reading the reviews. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay and are already thinking about when we can return.

We had a fantastic stay at The Crest!

The property is modern, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. As a family of four with two young boys, we found the location ideal for exploring the many nearby National Trust walks and sites—there’s plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. The property itself was very quiet, and there’s a large Tesco superstore conveniently close by. Marisa was a wonderful host—friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful. She made everything effortless by providing all the information we needed and went above and beyond with a generous supply of essentials, along with some thoughtful extras. We really enjoyed our stay from start to finish and found the whole week to be very relaxing. We would highly recommend The Crest to others!

Right from initial contact with the property owner we knew The Crest was going to be a super accommodation and it certainly didn't disappoint.

Marisa was friendly, informative and helpful both with messages and face to face, she was available if needed. The Crest is beautiful and is the cleanest, most comfortable property we've ever stayed in. It had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday and we will certainly be returning. The accommodation is also situated in a great area, walking distance to supermarkets, Helston town centre and was ideal for exploring all over the Lizard peninsula.

An amazing cottage, spotlessly clean, well maintained and with all the home comforts you could possibly need for a self catering property.

Quiet location very close to local amenities and in an excellent location for exploring the Lizard. This is our second visit to the Crest and certainly won’t be our last. Thanks to our host Marisa, who is very warm and accommodating for making our holiday special. Don’t hesitate, book now for a fabulous holiday home

We found The Crest an excellent place to stay for a week.

Everything we needed was there. The host Marisa is extremely friendly and was also on hand for any issues, not that we had any. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay at The Crest again.

The Crest is fantastic accommodation!

Modern, clean, comfortable and extremely well-equipped. With the added touches making a lovely and useful welcome. A quiet location but also close to the town centre. EV charging locations are close at hand at the local Tesco and town centre if needed. Marisa was very helpful and friendly and we have recommended The Crest to our friends. We would definitely book again.

We stay here for a week and have to say the accommodation did not disappoint.

It was so lovely and clean, it is by far the best accommodation we have ever stayed, with there being everything you need and more. The added extras were amazing plus the smaller things like foil, shampoo, hand soap, wishing liquid etc. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone it’s a good base to explore. Marisa was so lovely. Thank you for such a lovely stay.

Wow, what can I say about the CREST.

The cottage is beautiful. We have stayed here 2 times now. And it's the 1st cottage we have ever come back to. And we will keep coming back here. The owner is lovley and friendly. She couldn't have helped us more.

We had a great week at The Crest.

The cottage was very clean had everything we needed. Special thanks to Marisa, who was very helpful.

What an amazing place to stay!

Comfortable, clean, modern, so well located to reach lots of places to visit in Cornwall. The owner was an absolute delight, welcoming and helpful. We had a lovely holiday here and look forward to booking again.

The Crest is spacious , spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped in an ideal location.

Marisa the owner was very welcoming , friendly and helpful. This property is an absolute gem and we’re already planning to book for next year !

The Crest is everything the description suggests and we found its location brilliant for visiting anywhere in West Cornwall.

Nowhere is very far. The property is very well equipped, to a high standard, and it is hard to imagine needing anything that was not to hand. Marisa, the owner, is very friendly and helpful and made sure our holiday ran perfectly.

A wonderful find!

Spacious, spotless, modern, well catered and comfortable in a quiet location but close to all amenities. Friendly and helpful owner. We have already booked our next stay!

To sum up in one word-Perfect!

Our host Marisa was lovely and on hand if we needed any help. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and finished to a very high standard. A lot of thought has gone into making this cottage a lovely, welcoming place. We wouldn’t hesitate in returning.

The property was outstanding, easily the best Sykes property we have stayed in.

Extremely well equipped, modern and superbly maintained.

The place is how you see it on the pictures.

Host so attentive and lovely. Will highly recommend.Will definitely revisit .My kids loved the place.

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Crest.

Our host Marisa was very welcoming and left us little welcoming gifts on arrival. It was a very comfortable place to stay and was situated in a nice and quiet cul-de-sac. Would highly recommend and would love to return

We stayed at the The Crest for two weeks in August (family of four, children 15 and 12) and we all had such a wonderful holiday.

The owner, Marisa really can’t do enough for you whilst you are there and she was so friendly and welcoming. The property itself was immaculate and when walking in it really felt like you were walking into a new build property. The kitchen was so well stocked and if it wasn’t there you wouldn’t need it! The little gifts that were left for us were lovely along with all the equipment such as numerous toilet rolls, washing liquid, dishwasher tablets, cleaning sprays, soap etc… There were many information leaflets in the property to help plan the activities you wanted to do as well as Marisa letting us know about certain local things that were on at the time of our visit. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to others and would happily stay again. If you are after a lovely property in Cornwall this is an ideal property to book.

What a beautiful place to stay in!

The property was lovely and clean, well set out and contained everything we needed and more. Marisa, who owns it, couldn’t have been more helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here if you want to be out and about in Helston and it’s surrounding areas.

There is very little to add to all other reviews, The Crest and it’s wonderful host Marisa deserve every praise.

To highlight one thing maybe not mentioned much; it’s a perfect location. A calm and quiet place, but close to everything, including Helston town centre, a big supermarket and the bus stop. This let us explore Helston, the Lizard and surroundings without a car without any problems. Highly recommended!

Lovely relaxing break.

Accomodation looked exactly like the photos and was very well equipped. Everywhere was spotless, comfy beds, and furniture. The owner had ensured that you had everything you needed and could relax. It was my 65th birthday and was greeted by a card and present that had been chosen with thought. Fantastic walk in shower and electric blinds in the bedroom, large TV, sound bar and blue ray, Alexa and good WiFi made for an update property. Owner was on hand if needed and apart from introduction the day after arrival, left us to get on and enjoy our holiday. Will definitely return.

Every care by the property owner to ensure an extremely comfortable stay at The Crest had been taken.

For example, all items of kitchen equipment were immaculately presented as were all facilities in every room of the property. The Crest is situated in a quiet and peaceful area of Helston and ideally situated for walking to the town centre or drive to all the well known tourist destinations in Cornwall. We enjoyed a delightful stay at The Crest and were made so welcome by the owner and would recommend this lovely property to all our friends. Norman and Susan.

Spent a wonderful week at The Crest, it’s definitely a home from home.

Everything you could ask for or need is here. Modern layout over 2 floors, fully equipped modern kitchen, clean, well maintained. Both bathrooms are state of the art, easy to use showers. Bedrooms are roomy, plenty of storage and comfy beds. Our host Marissa takes great care and pride in this property,she’s helpful, friendly and nothing is too much trouble for her. Lovely lady. The Crest is well situated,10 min walk into Helston. We will be back! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Wow what a place - we stayed here from 27th April to 4th May and can honestly say this is the best place we have ever stayed in - Marisa (the owner) is amazing and so kind and helpful.

The Crest is very very well equipped, loads and loads of storage, good quality appliances and features - it’s like being at home but better. The photos really don’t do it justice. If you’re looking at The Crest as at option just book it before someone else does - you will not be disappointed . Thank you Marisa xxx

The Crest is a delighful holiday property, in immaculate condition with everything you might reasonably expect.

Marisa, the property owner, who lives next door, is an absolute delight and very happy to make sure everything is right without imposing in any way. Helston is a good centre to explore West Cornwall. We would definitely stay at the Crest in the future.

Decided to stay at The Crest in February for 5 nights after seeing the excellent reviews left by others , we were not disappointed, the accommodation is perfect for relaxing , it is very comfortable and is immaculately kept which is a credit to Marissa who is the perfect host , and also very kind and helpful.

We will definitely stay hear again on our next visit to Cornwall. Helston is a great small town , everything worth visiting is near by , and I can't wait to return.

We have just stayed at the Crest for a week and I can honestly say it is the best property we have ever stayed and never wanted to leave to be honest we were quite sad to leave.

From the moment we arrived it was warm and cozy and spotlessly clean, and felt like home from home. with the lovely welcome Goodies, the property was well equipped and had everything we would ever need and more for our stay and had a lovely attention to detail in a nice Quiet location, We would love to thank Marisa for making us feel very welcome. and will be returning sooner than expected.

The Crest exceeded our expectations it was exceptionally clean and well kitted out.

It was modern but very comfortable and homely. Beds and bedding were comfortable. Bathroom and shower room were lovely and towels were fluffy. Kitchen had everything you need. Helston was a good base with plenty of shops nearby. it was a lovely touch to have a bottle of Prosecco, chocolates, biscuits and a vase of lovely roses. Best of all was Marisa's warm and friendly welcome. We will go back.

We have just returned home having enjoyed a fabulous stay at The Crest.

It’s provided us with a fantastic base to explore the South West. Great location. This home has it all; great kitchen, superb bathrooms, comfortable bedrooms and wonderful lounge area to relax. What more could you want? We know … a fabulous host in Marisa who wants to offer her guests the very best experience. Book it now! P&R

The Crest was immaculately presented, spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday.

Our host was friendly and helpful. The layout was slightly unusual but worked well with a bathroom and sitting area on each floor.

We stayed at The Crest for a week as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children aged 5/6).

We had a fabulous time in Cornwall! The Crest is a wonderful place to stay, with comfortable beds, fantastic amenities excellent location that is easy to visit many hotspots eg Lands End, St Ives, Newquay, Falmouth etc. Our stay was made extra special by our host Marisa who is simply exemplary in all that she does. Her thoughtful and attention to details is outstanding and we are already looking in the diary for next year to return!

The property is absolutely beautiful, fixtures and fittings second to none.

First impression as you walk in 10/10 show house springs to mind, beautiful kitchen and dining area with large bathroom, washing machine and a dryer under the stairs. As you walk upstairs there’s a kitchenette and large living room, down the hallway there’s another large bathroom, second bedroom and large main bedroom? Well thought out design, you will not be disappointed with this property. Lovely hostess to make your holiday memorable, with ideas of places to visit, any queries answered.

A fantastic property in a great location with easy parking in a quiet cul-de-sac.

Helston Town centre is an easy 10 minute stroll down hill . Marisa is an excellent host with great local knowledge and is always available to answer questions or advice.

The Crest is a superb cottage, immaculately presented and with everything we needed to make our two week stay very enjoyable.

The extra little touches - fresh flowers, chocolates, prosecco - were very welcoming, and Marisa herself was an excellent host, doing all she could to help us feel "at home". The overall high quality of the accommodation was further complimented by the patio and seating areas, which were much appreciated on sunny days. We would definitely love to return! Presented immaculately and some lovely little touches on our arrival and during our stay. Our host was very friendly and helpful and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed.

The Crest is a beautiful cottage in a quiet cul de sac, with easy parking outside.

It is luxurious with some lovely attention to detail. Bedroom blinds that are operated at the touch of a button, a kitchenette in the sitting room for making drinks as well as a lovely kitchen downstairs for producing meals, are some pleasing features. The overall feeling is one of space. The sofas are comfortable as is the large bed. It was pristine in decoration and cleanliness. Lovely treats were left by the host, Marisa and nothing was too much trouble! Marisa is a great host and contributed enormously to us two enjoying our stay as we knew if we had any problems, she was there and very willing to help! We are a couple in our seventies and pretty active, but it was still reassuring that Marisa was next door should we need to ask her anything! The Crest is situated in Helston, placing you well for visiting all the local sights for this part of Cornwall. If you haven’t already gathered from my comments so far, I highly recommend The Crest both for the accommodation and situation. If I could give it ten stars. I would ! If you can’t book this year, it’s worth putting on your list for next as I know it’s pretty booked up!!

Lovely place to stay, first class, viewing doesn’t do it credit its even better staying there.

The property has been fitted out excellently and is extremely clean. Communication from Marisa is excellent from the week before to the end so you are never in doubt about how the house runs and she is available if needed being next door. I’ll be back next year to enjoy the area and cottage again as it’s close to many attractions and great places for walking .

Don’t think about it just book it as you will not be disappointed Great welcome from Marisa from the start with lots of treats and flowers and knew if we needed anything it would not be a problem Everything you need in one lovely modern property and great location Would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely cottage.

Very clean, modern, warm and comfortable. It had everything we needed. Very enjoyable welcome pack from the owner who was very helpful and welcoming. Great location for good walks and lovely beaches. We would stay there again.

A little gem of a place with all mod cons, the pictures do not do this hone justice as the crest is absolutely stunning.

Marisa the host is one of the best hosts we have ever had the pleasure to meet warm and welcoming. We were greeted with a bottle of prosecco chocolates as well as tea and coffee milk and biscuits. The crest is very central and a few minutes away from coronation park which has a beautiful lake and the most amazing cafe which serve delicious breakfasts so we'll worth a visit.We were also a few minutes drive away from some of the most spectacular beaches. We loved exploring everyday then coming back to the crest to relax in its beautiful surroundings in the evening as well as sleeping in one of the most comfortable beds thank you Marisa for a lovely time we will be back x

We stayed at The Crest for two weeks, and had the most wonderful relaxing time with weather I never expected in October, fabulous !

! Marisa who owns the Crest, was the most wonderful, charming, kindest host I have ever met at any holiday let we have stayed. She is very helpful and her holiday let is a credit to her, stylishly furnished with all mod cons of technology and very clean. Thank you so much Marisa for a delightful 2 weeks in Cornwall! We really will cherish our memories from this holiday staying at the Crest.

We just came back from our second visit to The Crest.

Marisa is a wonderful host, on hand to offer any advice about the local area but also leaves you to enjoy your holiday. The Crest is absoloutely spotless and everything is provided that you will need. You can walk into Helston and you are a short drive away from Praa sands and about 20mins away from Falmouth. Great location for exploring the tourist areas. Porthleven is just down the road with its lovely harbour, shops and restaurants. Thank you Marisa for another lovely holiday.

This holiday cottage was very comfortable, very clean and modern.

We felt very comfortable and warm welcomed. It was a very friendly contact with the owner. We can definitely recommend it.

Extremely happy with this property.

Marisa and Alan where great from start to finish, and great communication too. Contacted us a week before our stay to introduce themselves and give us instructions about the house and access. Whole house extremely clean and well maintained. And cannot fault them on anything! Everything in the house is well thought out. Great location too.

Lovely well equipped accommodation.

Friendly owner. Good location for visiting many areas of Cornwall.

First class accommodation that has everything that you might need in a holiday property.

A sincere thankyou to Alan and Melissa for their warm welcome and for making our stay so comfortable. Will definitely be back.

We've just enjoyed a most relaxing and enjoyable two weeks holiday at The Crest.

We're regularly holiday in cottages and The Crest is the best we've stayed in. In a very quiet and secluded location offering privacy but close enough to Helston for shops and amenities. We were impressed with how Marisa and Alan kept in touch with us both before and during our stay. Very accurate directions and holiday advice (things to do) provided prior to leaving. Nice touch Upon arrival we were greeted with a beautiful welcome of flowers, prosecco, chocolates and biscuits. What a wonderful gesture and most thoughtful. A great start to our stay The Crest is full of wonderful modern features including the heating system and an amazing huge shower. So good we wanted to bring it home. A beautiful well equipped and furnished kitchen that we loved and felt most at home in. More modern electronic touches in the living room. Including 'Alexa' and a large TV with a surround sound system. Loved how the lights were controllable by touch and wall mounted switches. (Great once you work them out

Alan and Marisa were amazing hosts, very friendly and sweet—it felt like staying near family rather than being hosted by strangers.

We could not ask for a better stay in Cornwall. The cottage was in a lovely quiet setting and was super clean. The location of the cottage is just a ten minute walk from Helston town Centre, 10 min drive to lovely beaches and a 20-30 min drive to other Cornish towns like Falmouth and St. Ives. They were very accommodating to our needs traveling with a 1 year old by providing a cot and high chair which was so lovely and unexpected. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a wonderful family holiday in Cornwall. And if we do return to Cornwall we will definitely be staying at the Crest!

Beautiful accommodation lovely and clean well equipped Comfy beds and quality bedding crockery etc Marisa and Alan were very helpful and didn’t impose We had a great week with lots todo in the area A tip If you want to go out for a special meal try and book well in advance as we tried to book in Porthleven for a 70 th birthday and everywhere was booked all week

Couldn't fault anything, lovely property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Crest.

The cottage was immaculate and we were made very welcome by Alan and Marissa. It is also in a good location for visiting many lovely places in Cornwall. Would definitely return.

Just arrived home from a fabulous weeks holiday at The Crest in Helston Cornwall To say it was amazing is definitely an understatement!

From the very warm welcome we received Marisa and Allen couldn’t have done anymore The cottage is outstanding and extremely comfortable, everything you could possibly need for your stay The cottage is approximately 10-15 minutes walk into the town centre which offers lots of lovely quaint shops and eateries There’s also a lovely park and lake at the bottom end of town ( quite a steep walk back up though lol) The cottage is within half an hour drive of all the main attractions eg. Lands-end, Lizard peninsula, Saint Michael’s mount and Falmouth to name a few. All in all The Crest is definitely 5 star accommodation with lovely friendly hosts and we certainly wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone Thankyou Marisa and Allen for making our trip as memorable as it was xx

The Crest was beautiful and very clean.

lots of room and very light. Melisa and Alan most friendly and helpful. It is right in the middle of so many different things to see and do, The presents kept popping up in different places to surprise you and were unexpected. We would defiantly go back again. Thank you both. X

The property was excellent Would certainly recommend staying there to anyone In fact we are looking to book again for next year

The holiday overall exceeded expectations.

Alan and Marissa were lovely, nothing was to much trouble. Very welcoming. Definitely coming back. From Sue, Frank, Harry & Sheila.

The Crest is a great place to stay, it is spotlessly clean and has all the facilities you need!

The location is ideal for visiting the surrounding area. Marisa and Alan are the perfect hosts! Would definitely stay again when visiting the area and would recommend to friends.

The crest is perfect for a base to explore Cornwall, it was clean comfortable and had everything we needed for our weeks stay.

Marisa and Alan were very helpful and on hand when needed. Helston is a 10 minute walk and does have some steep streets but we definitely recommend this place as 5 stars.

An amazing house with all modern amenities.

A definite home from home. The welcome gifts were so lovely. Alan and Marissa are on hand to answer any questions you may have about the surrounding areas which we found very helpful

We had a lovely holiday staying at The Crest.

August 2021. The accomodation was immaculate throughout and I would say it exceeded our expectations. The owners Alan and Marisa had also left us some welcome gifts in the way of Prosecco and chocolate's! Perfect, after a very long journey.. Yes, we would definitely recommend The Crest to anyone looking to stay in Helston. Great location too for visiting various parts of Cornwall and beyond. The addition of a Hot tub would have been the topping of the cake. Maybe one for the future? Thanks again to our lovely host's Alan and Marisa..

The Crest is the best ‘cottage’ that we’ve ever stayed in (& we’ve stayed in a fair few!

) It’s spotlessly clean with lots of well thought out appliances. It is presented to an extremely high standard. The location is fantastic for exploring south west Cornwall - with in easy distance of The Lizard, Truro, Eden project and Falmouth. Both Tesco and Sainsbury’s are very close by and the property is only a 10 minute walk into Helston itself so perfect for an evening meal out. We hope to visit again soon.

This is the best holiday cottage we've visited.

It was extremely well equipped and very clean. The owners were also very helpful. We will return.

Immaculate, high quality accommodation with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your holiday.

Fantastic well equipped kitchen. In our opinion suited towards a family rather than 2 couples due to the 2nd much smaller bedroom

The property was excellent.

Comfortable, and equipped to a very high standard. Great position for exploring West Cornwall.

The Crest is a superb holiday home.

It’s immaculate and very well equipped. The owners very generously left us milk,biscuits, chocolates and a bottle of fizz to enjoy. The location is great and you can walk into Helston town centre which will take about 10-15 minutes. The owners who live next door were extremely helpful and provided lots of information on restaurants and places to visit. The Crest is worthy of 5 stars. Highly recommended.

A really comfortable and very well appointed cottage.

Full of mod cons, very bright with a lovely outside seating area. Location is superb for exploring south west Cornwall and within easy walking distance of the centre of Helston. House is in a very quiet residential area; the only thing that will wake you up are the birds singing. Close to bus stops with good bus service to Falmouth or Penzance with other services into Lizard; great for not taking the car to really busy places. Hosts were wonderful making sure we had everything we need. One of the most relaxing holidays in the UK we have had.

The Crest is a lovely, conveniently located property near to Helston town centre which has very good shopping facilities.

A good number of Cornwall’s most popular destinations are within striking distance: Praa Sands which has a very lovely beach is just a 15 minute drive away. The Crest is a light and airy property and was spotlessly clean. Has all home comforts and is amazingly well equipped. The owners, Marissa and Alan, live close by and were very helpful hosts. We were welcomed by an array of hospitality treats - thank you both. The Crest is high quality holiday accommodation and would happily return there again.

We had a fabulous holiday staying at The Crest which was like a home from home for us.

A modern, clean property with great facilities, a very comfy bed and everything we could need. It is situated in a quiet and peaceful cul-de-sac. It was a great base for us to explore so many lovely places in the area close by such as Porthleven, Falmouth, St Ives, Trebah Gardens, Lizard Point and St Michaels's Mount. Alan and Marisa are kind, helpful and friendly. We were very grateful for the teabags and milk upon arrival and the chocolates, biscuits and prosecco! We would definitely stay here again if we are holidaying in Cornwall in the future.

The property was excellent, well appointed, some great touches, good base for the travel around Cornwall.

Really enjoyed.

We had a wonderful stay at The Crest, the property is absolutely beautiful, very modern, clean and to very high standards.

We were welcomed into the home with roses and chocolates and a few other details that made it just that bit more special. The property has two bathrooms, both very modern and suitable for a family with kids, a lovely shower and a bath tub for little ones, in the bathroom you have all the necessities and a powerful shower which is a plus. The kitchen had all you could need (pans, cutlery, washing up liquid even detergent to get your laundry done). There was a washing machine and a tumble dryer which came in handy with our kids. Bedrooms had plenty of storage and comfy beds enough space to fit our family comfortably. Location of the house was great close enough to all sights we had planned for, with shops walking distance/ take away restaurant and pubs on our doorstep. Marissa has kindly included information about Cornwall which my son enjoyed and gave him something to look out for. We highly recommend this lovely property and hope to stay there in the future.

Sykes Cottages team and Alan and Marisa were really helpful.

Everything was perfect thank you.

This is an exceptional property; modern, immaculately presented, well located and surgically clean!

The owners were very responsive, helpful, friendly and on-hand to answer any queries if needed. We have stayed in many holiday rentals and this one was undoubtedly in the top 3 that we have used. Highly recommended in every way!

From start to finish we had a wonderful week.

The property exceeded our expectations being both very well equipped and very comfortable and was ideally located. Alan and Marissa, the property owners, were very friendly and had left many welcome gifts including fresh flowers, chocolates, biscuits and prosecco, which were very much appreciated. They also provided information regarding local attractions. We would highly recommend this property and look forward to a return visit in the future.

The Crest is a very modern cottage built and equipped to the highest standards.

The high sloping ceilings and skylights give a bright spacious feeling to the lounge and master bedroom both with views over the town. Very nice large shower room and luxury bathroom. Well equipped kitchen and dinning area. South facing sheltered outside seating area. In a very quite area with safe parking, within easy walking distance of Helston’s bars and restaurants. For the more energetic there is a lovely 3 mile walk by The Loe to Loe Bar and Porthleven Sands. Very large Tesco near by. Host Marisa and Alan are both very friendly and helpful and live next door if assistance is required. Helston is well placed for exploring the southern part of Cornwall with The Lizard, Falmouth, Penzance, Land’s End, and St Ives, all within easy reach. Definitely recommend this property and would love to stay again.

The Crest is a beautiful home from home which provided a perfect base for us to explore the Cornish coastal paths.

The attention to detail of the Crest is second to none and we would highly recommend as a holiday home in Helston.

We would highly recommend The Crest.

It is tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, has comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. The owners were very welcoming and provided thoughtful welcome gifts. It is located in a quiet cul-de-sac location, with great access for exploring both the North and South Coast.

We had an exceptional time.

Marissa and Alan were very helpful and explained everything well.The facilities were superb and local information was exceptional.Would recommend this holiday home to anyone visiting Helston.Would not hesitate to go back

The Crest is absolutely beautiful, it exceeded our expectations by miles!

It’s decorated so beautifully and so much thought has gone into the whole thing. Lots of mod cons and every kitchen utensil you could think of!! The beds were so comfortable and the whole house was so clean and just absolute perfection. Alan and Marisa were great hosts and so helpful and friendly. We loved it and can’t wait to return next year! 100 out of 10!!!

The hosts were extremely friendly ,helpful and welcoming.

Really appreciated the milk ,coffee ,tea, wine ,biscuits chocolate,flowers and all the cleaning materials and hand sanitizer provided. We were provided with clean towels ,sheets ,extra bin bags and cleaning materials at the end of our first week ,along with more complimentary chocolates. The property was spotlessly clean and everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay was provided. The property itself was light, modern,spacious and tastefully decorated ,situated in a quiet residential area. Perfect for a relaxing holiday . Although Helston is not on the coast ,it is a great place to access countless wonderful beaches, many of which are only 15 to 30 minutes away. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending this property to Sykes customers looking for the perfect holiday rental.

AMAZING HOME.

This holiday home was amazing.Clean and bright and so much room for four afults. It is so well equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. We received texts with instructions and a welcome message. Around the home were various welcome treats which were a very lovely touch.Also all the products for cleaning included. Hand sanitised wipes etc too. Beds were comfortable and great for for adultd. The shower in the bathroom amazing..Close to local shops.The large tesco a short walk .Sainsbury 5 mins in the car.Lots of good places to eat in or take away.. Marisa and Alan were there to welcome US and check all was okay. Would really recommend this wonderful house Can't praise It and Alan and Marissa enough.Thank you Sara h Dean Joshua and Samuel

This is a stunning home away from home!

The owners made contact before our arrival to let us know they were available if we had any questions which was reassuring. They were only next door too so were on hand if we needed anything throughout our stay. The accommodation was modern and spotless. It is well equipped with everything you could need (and more). The owners had included some lovely holiday touches like shampoo and conditioners in the shower as well biscuits and flowers on arrival. It is not too far from the town of Helston (15 minute walk) which has an array of shops, cafes and pubs. We found this area perfect for exploring Cornwall, central to everywhere we wanted to go.

I simply cannot fault The Crest, the cottage is thoroughly well thought out and the facilities within the cottage means you need bring very little with you.

The cottage is ideally located in Helston within a very quiet area but not too far away from Helston town centre, Tesco and a fabulous Pastie shop!! The cottage was spotless upon our arrival and Marisa and Alan made us feel very welcome indeed. The gifts around the cottage were a lovely idea too. I have been holidaying in this particular area of Cornwall for 40+ years so for us it was perfectly located for myself and my little family to visit all the lovely coves and beaches. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Crest or rebook for next year.

The Crest is a really lovely cottage and made all the better by the extra little touches from Alan and Marisa.

Quiet cul de sac and easy to park. Everything you need in the cottage and walking distance into the town with plenty of choices for food. We also walked to Portleven and had Sunday lunch which was fab!

We have just returned from a wonderful pre Christmas stay at The Crest.

We had contact and directions before we arrived, were met by owner who showed us around and shown how all mod cons worked. It had a nice Christmas feel with Christmas trees and subtle decorations, just right. The gifts left to make us welcome were a lovely touch, very much appreciated Marisa & Alan, thank you. The house and furnishings were super, new and contemporary, the bed so was very comfortable, two beautiful bathrooms and a lovely comfortable accommodation with everything for 4, it felt like home from home. Although close in the owners garden, we did not see them, had no issues, but could contact them easily if we wished to. A very quiet, relaxing holiday that was based with everything in close proximity to Porthleven, harbour, beaches and The Loe. The choice of many grocery stores inc Sainsburys, Tesco, Lidl and a local Spar were easily found. We wanted for nothing and hope to return as for us it was great for meeting up with family.

This is a great holiday accommodation, its incredibly clean, has everything you would require and comfortable.

Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful and we appreciated the thoughtful Welcome treats. We will defiantly stay again.

Being close to all the beaches and attractions And getting away for a short while!

The Crest is comfortably furnished and equipped to a high standard making it a home away from home including a great kitchen and 2 good sized bathrooms.

The owners were friendly, and made us feel very welcome without being intrusive. It’s also in a great location to explore the numerous beaches and attractions.
