“Talverne is a fabulous holiday cottage which is exceptionally clean and well equipped.”

We could not fault the accommodation in any way and would very much hope to return in the future. The added bonuses were the glorious views from the lounge of the surrounding farmland with the sea in the distance and the fact that the village of St Keverne itself is accessed via a decent road rather than a narrow single track lane that has to be negotiated to get to a lot of Cornish villages. We would very much recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to holiday on the Lizard Peninsular. ...

“Place was excellent!”

- Mrs Richards, April 2019
“Welcome pack and exceptional standard of accommodation also having a smart tv so we could watch Netflix on our down time was great.”

Rental properties that offer up to date tech are hard to find and talverne is brilliant at everything. Oh sorry and the views,loved them.

- Mr Bracken, March 2019
“Whenever I book with Sykes I have come to expect a certain standard of cleanliness, beautiful cottages and homeliness.”

I have to say this took our breath away the standard was exceptional, the views amazing and the comfort just like a 5 star hotel,I know that by posting this might limit my chances to go back but to keep it secret would be unfair. AMAZING!! the villiage is so pretty and so friendly I even had a lady offer to dog sit if I wanted to go to the restaurant!

- Mrs Constable, March 2019
“The home was lovely and the personal touches meant a lot.”

Had a really good time visited lots of lovely places in Cornwall. The dogs enjoyed the trip to the beach. Would recommend Talverne you will not be disappointed.

“Wow this is how all holiday let’s should be”

After a nightmare M5 journey that took 8 hours we eventually found Talverne It’s up a hair pin bend by the fire station Plenty of parking, lovely welcome, amazing views of the sea. We felt at home straight away. The decor is fitted out to a high standard with quality fixtures and fittings. The location is fabulous with great pubs/restaurants only a few meters away Cornwall is my favourite place to holiday in the UK and I must say Talverne is my favourite so far. This is how Holiday lets should be. Our pumpkins are carved ready for Halloween so it’s almost November but the weather is still great.

- Mr Letherbarrow, October 2018

“Talverne was a beautiful home set in St Keverne, it was very well equipped and modern, beauifully decorated very comfortable with stunning views from the balcony, the owners were wonderful and very friendly and helpful, a welcome tray of biscuits, milk and wine in the fridge and fresh flowers was a lovely surprise after a long journey, We would definitely recommend this holiday home to anyone wanting to explore Cornwall, also the fact it was pet friendly too was great and our dog Millie thoroughly enjoyed it, I'm sure we will be using Talverne again if we go to Cornwall in the future, we had a lovely holiday just didn't want to leave!”

Sykes cottages were very good and easy to book with too, keeping us updated with information and very helpful with any enquiries that we made.

- Mrs Sutcliffe, July 2018

Fabulous Falmouth with its maritime heritage and abundant restaurants, traditional inns, historic castle and deep harbour - take a fishing trip or pleasure boat excursion - makes a wonderful destination for a day out.

About the location

ST KEVERNE

Helston 12 miles.

On the eastern side of The Lizard Peninsula, the pretty village of St Keverne, lying just 1.25 miles inland, is the focal point for this area, with its village pubs and shops surrounding the village square, and an impressive church spire, at one time used to guide the Cornish fishermen home. From St Keverne, you can easily explore the natural and spectacular beauty of the Lizard Peninsula by car, bicycle or on foot. You will find walled fishing harbours, tiny secret coves, sandy bays and dramatic clifftop walks along the South West Coastal path. Just north is the Helford River, a yachtsman's dream and home to Frenchman's Creek, and picturesque Helford village. A short walk takes you to Roskilly’s Farm, where you can tuck in to ice cream to die for. Further afield, visit Falmouth, with one of the world's largest natural harbours, Pendennis Castle built by Henry VIII, and of course you cannot miss out on a trip to The National Maritime Museum.
