“Talverne is a very comfortable property, quietly tucked away on the outskirts of the village, with distant views of St Mawes from the lounge windows.”

Everything you need for a home from home holiday has been provided. A cheery welcome from the owner awaited us, who was also on hand nearby for anything we should need. A slight confusion on our part regarding rubbish disposal, for which I apologise. Thank you. We had a wonderful time, and the warm sunny weather was a real bonus. A lucky find.

Mrs Hopkins July 2021

“The booking process and communication throughout was excellent!”

The house was beautiful, fantastically positioned with stunning views and everything you could need. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and the hosts couldn’t have been more helpful, welcoming and on hand if anything was needed. Couldn’t recommend this property enough!

Mr Metcalfe October 2020

“Fabulous accomodation.”

Well equipped and exceptionally clean. Our second visit to Talverne and hopefully we will be able to return, as as it is well situated for visiting the Lizard Peninsular and and the rest of West Cornwall. Unfortunately the second lockdown was announced just after our arrival but we still managed to really enjoy our holiday.

- Mr Metcalfe, October 2020
Mr Mulheron October 2020

“An outstanding place to stay with owners going the extra mile to make your holiday a one to remember,from welcome pack to any minor issues immediately sorted.”

The location is good for doing as much or as little as you want.Must mention the village pub The White Hart excellent food and dog friendly.

- Mr Mulheron, October 2020
Mrs Manger September 2020

“Talverne was exceptional.”

A very well equipped and clean holiday home with very friendly and helpful hosts. The Covid considerations were extremely good.Talverne was ideally located in St Keverne, only a 20 minute drive to the Lizard Peninsula and close to the beautiful Helford River. A wonderful holiday, thank you.

- Mrs Manger, September 2020
Mrs Sears September 2020

“The property was absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean and extremely well kitted out.”

The owners are really close by and are so lovely and helpful. The village has 2 pubs,a shop, butchers, post office and restaurant and is a short walk away. We would definitely return,thankyou .

- Mrs Sears, September 2020
Mrs Gotsall August 2020

“I have just come back from 2 weeks in Cornwall and yet again this beautiful place didn't disappoint.”

The accommodation was absolutely perfect, the first moment you stepped into the property you felt at home and comfortable. It was so warm and welcoming, as was the owner she had even provided a lovely welcome pack for us which was much appreciated. This house has everything you will need and the washer/dryer came in so useful after a day at the beach ⛱. The living room looks out on to a spectacular view, you can even see across to St Mawes in the distance. I can find no faults with this property and will definitely be returning. I would certainly recommend to any of my family and friends. The White Hart in the village is also worth a visit, the food was really good and its only a very short walk away from the house.

- Mrs Gotsall, August 2020
Mrs Constable February 2020

“Love this place, this was our second visit to Talverne and it was as lovely as we remembered.”

The comfort level in this cottage is amazing, so warm and toasty after a blustery beach walk. It is furnished to an exceedingly high level and this includes the kitchen utensils. Views out of the lounge picture window are incredible, who needs to watch TV when the scene changes with the weather. It is ideally located in a small village which has a Butchers, Post Office, village store and two pubs, and so wonderful dog walks on the doorstep. Love it

- Mrs Constable, February 2020
Mrs Yates November 2019

“It would be useful to have a microwave in the kitchen particularly as we had babies with us.”

This would be useful for sterilising bottles. Some instructions on operating the heating and hot water. It was a very comfortable property in a wonderful position with beautiful views of the countryside and the sea in the distance.

- Mrs Yates, November 2019
Mr Clews October 2019

“Nice property for our very wet and windy half term week in Cornwall.”

Immaculately presented with quality furnishings and fittings. Ample room for six persons and two dogs. Nice quiet location with ample dog walking footpaths very close by. Local shop close by stocks most stuff. Two pubs in village. Easy location for short drives to local beaches. Nice ‘welcome pack’ from owners for our arrival. Thank you.

- Mr Clews, October 2019
Mrs Pilson October 2019

“The cottage was just beautiful, everything was so clean with great attention to detail and lovely views.”

Very well stocked village store and 2 pubs serving good food, a good location for visiting many attractions.

- Mrs Pilson, October 2019
Mrs Eggerton September 2019

“The house was absolutely beautiful and the views amazing.”

Everything seems to have been very well thought about from a well equipped kitchen to a jacuzzi bath and the beds were so comfortable! The owners must be very proud of it. We would love to stay again.

- Mrs Eggerton, September 2019
Mr Brooks August 2019

“Fabulous property in a great location.”

- Mr Brooks, August 2019
Mrs Dawson August 2019

“This is the perfect holiday home.”

Absolutely stunning home and fantastic views from the living room. Very welcoming with added touches. We all slept like babies in the comfortable beds and it was so very quiet. There are many places to visit only a short drive away and a handy store to get groceries just a short walk up the hill. Great pub food a walk away and beaches and coves just a very short drive away. Absolutely recommend Talverne.

- Mrs Dawson, August 2019
Mrs Bradshaw August 2019

“Our family of 5 plus a dog had a lovely time in Cornwall.”

From the moment we booked the cottage, the Sykes site was very easy to use, payments went through timely as per the terms. The cottage was beautiful, really well equipped, lovely and spacious in a good location to visit different places in Cornwall. Would definitely use again with no worries, Highly recommend !!

- Mrs Bradshaw, August 2019
Mrs Keenan July 2019

Mr Sheldon May 2019

“Very comfortable accommodation in a superb village with good facilities.”

Neighbours also very friendly. If Carling did holiday homes !

- Mr Sheldon, May 2019
Mr Metcalfe May 2019

“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. Avrille & Gordon, Redditch

Mrs Richards April 2019

“Place was excellent!”

- Mrs Richards, April 2019
Mr Bracken March 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
Mrs Constable 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
Ms Mcauley March 2019

“The home was lovely and the personal touches meant a lot.”

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.
