“Our first experience of ‘cottage’ living after having to give up a touring caravan.”

Generally pleasantly surprised. Could do with a new shower, takes a long while to get hot (waste of water) and when it does it’s not very powerful. Setees could do with some new upholstery. Well equipped with everything you would have at home. Location a bit out on a limb if you want to use the cottage as a base for touring the area.

“Great cottage and lovely area.”

Has all the home comforts you could possibly need and more!!

“Very well equipped house, in surprisingly quiet surroundings.”

The walk to a beach is more like 55 minutes, rather than the 15 minutes we had been told.

- Mark, July 2023

“Cottage is well stocked with pots, pans and local maps and guide books.”

All was incredibly clean on arrival. The patio view from the patio is less inviting than the pictures make it look as it is more enclosed by other adjacent units, but the overall setting within Pendra Loweth holiday cottages is very attractive. Having the cafe nearby, with its bar and restaurant, was useful, though the menu is limited. My main reservation with this location is that it is not safe or practical to walk to the nearby beach at Maenporth given narrowness of the road and lack of any path or even hard shoulder for pedestrians. Similarly, the walk to Falmouth is also unsafe and quite long (45 min). This meant we had to drive everywhere, and, since the parking lot at Maenporth fills up, made it less advantageous of a location than we had thought. This was not clear on booking and could be made more so in the description. Otherwise, we were very happy with the cottage which was indeed a great base from which to explore the beautiful area. The tips on local restaurants in the book at the cottage were much appreciated.

“We had a lovely week at crabapple cottage.”

It had everything that you could possibly need and more ,very much a home from home with a bowl of fresh fruits for us on the dining table and a bottle of milk in the fridge. I would highly recommend this cottage.

Ingrid June 2023

“Fabulously clean, it was a delight to arrive to a bowl of fruit, biscuits and some milk in the fridge.”

A well appointed cottage. Lovely to have a decent patio set with sun shade. The restaurant on site is good. The area is close to beaches and Falmouth, with access to all of Cornwall on the doorstep. Highly impressed.

Alan September 2022

“Excellent property, good location, well stocked and full of information on the area.”

nice touches of welcome to the cottage to get you started. Did not appreciate the numerous e mails from Sykes Cottages telling us how to clean and leave the property. It goes without saying how we would leave the property as found. This is nothing to do with the owner.

- Alan, September 2022

“Comfortable and ideally placed.”

Beautiful surroundings

Sally June 2022

“Really comfortable homely cottage in beautiful surroundings.”

The cottage was spotless when we arrived. It is supplied with everything you need for your stay. Would of liked a washing machine in cottage and also TV in bedroom. The setting is very peaceful and many wonderful places to visit, it definitely helps if you have a car. Thanks will hopefully return. Sally and John

Nicola June 2022

“A really lovely holiday cottage.”

Beautifully clean and comfortable. The owners have gone out of their way to think of everything you may need and provide it. The welcome pack with a big bowl of fruit and biscuits, tea, coffee, milk etc was very thoughtful. Thank you. Would definitely recommend.

- Nicola, June 2022
Sam April 2022

“The cottage was spotless and very clean.”

We appreciated the milk and tea that was left. Everything has been thought of to enhance your stay. Very peaceful location.

- Sam, April 2022
Dan April 2022

“All the details had been thought through.”

Finding fresh fruit on the table was positive. Music, DVD's, board games, BBQ all perfect for a holiday home. All the everyday essentials were there. We even wanted to add to the DVD collection, so we left Iron Man & Goonies behind. Property was very clean just a shame we didnt have better weather to make use of the garden as that was great too. Overall feel of the site is family friendly and well kept. Tennis courts are decent, we brought our own rackets and balls. Trip in to Falmouth by taxi is £7.50 / £8 each way. Parking in Falmouth is around £8 a day.

We arrived to find a spotless cottage that has had the utmost care and attention from the owner. Our stay was perfect and we would not think twice in recommending others.

“Lovely cottage.”

Well maintained and has everything you need for your holiday. Set in beautiful gardens. The location just outside Falmouth is good and you have easy access to Swanpool and Gillingvase which are lovely beaches and the SW coastpath.

Clive June 2021

“Crabapple cottage was a delight, and this development had the feel of a beautifully landscaped fairy land; almost unreal !”

Huge effort had been made to satisfy every need and we settled in without any difficulty.Loads of extras were provided; a really nice touch. The nearby sandy beach of Maenporth was equally pleasing and provided an ideal location for a traditional day out at the seaside. Our only question arose from the fact that Sykes Central Command seemed a little out of touch with the property's situation. When asked about equipment and materials we needed to provide the response insisted that we take a whole range of "stuff" to help avoid the possibility of Covid 19 infection.[washing powder, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, kitchen towels, toilet paper oven gloves, etc. ] In fact the car load we brought with us was entirely unnecessary as, along with a welcome pack, everything was already in place ! Also, the cottage had its own WiFi, which we were told was not available. However, the quality and extraordinary range of facilities in the cottage made our stay extremely comfortable. Not even the G7 conference restrictions could spoil this holiday. We had a great time and will come again. Thank you !!

John September 2020

“You will need to refer back to emails from me to understand this feedback.”

You repeatedly failed to answer my questions and failed to address my concerns regarding this re-scheduled holiday. In our last contact I was promised a telephone call from a manager, but that call never came. In the end I simply gave up trying out of frustration. I understand that the problems with Covid 19 would have put great strain on your resources, but even allowing for that I felt I was treated very dismissively. Unfortunately we will not use Sykes again. On the other hand the cottage was very comfortable and we were very satisfied with the cleanliness of the property and all the measures put in place by the cottage owner and the cleaning company to combat Covid 19. Nevertheless, we, of course, continued to maintain our own hygiene routines throughout our stay at the cottage in order to protect ourselves, the cleaning staff and future guests.

- John, September 2020

Thank you for taking the time to send in your feedback regarding your recent holiday with us. It has been a very busy time but we are very disappointed that you did not receive the service expected. We are however, very pleased that you found the cottage to be very comfortable and the cleanliness good. We do take your points very seriously and continue to monitor our service. We do hope you will give us a chance to regain your trust in our service and book with us in the future. Property Owner
Ingeborg June 2019

“Lovely and comfortable cottage with some extras.”

The owner had fresh fruits for us. A dishwasher would be nice.

“We had figured on a holiday to Cornwall for a wee while, mainly for the coastal walks, the food and the nature.”

So with just a little planning Falmouth seemed like a sensible base and a cottage had the nod over a guest house. We are so glad of our choice. Crabapple cottage is a gem, spotlessly clean, brimming with accessories, a real home from home. The level of detail the hosts have considered for guests Is exceptional. A special mention has to be the grounds it sits within. Pendra Loweth is a wonderful holiday village. The cottages are extremely well looked after, the gardens are beautifully tended. There is a real sense of privacy without feeling isolated. Scenic, natural and totally idyllic. This was a great base for us to take in some sightseeing. We took in walks at lizard point, Kynance Cove and Mullion. The scenery is breathtaking. Mevvagisey, Newquay, St Agnes and Falmouth proved to be great days out too. Crabapple cottage was always a welcome haven to return to. Many thanks for a great stay and will definitely be recommending to family and friends.

“The holiday was great with good weather and the cottage was in excellent condition and had all the facilities available.”

My wife has commented we would visit the site and cottage again.

Mel August 2018

“A lovely quiet location but a stone throw away from two local beaches.”

Crabtree Cottage was perfect and was a real home from home experience. Everything was catered for and lots of lovely personal touches from the owner, fresh fruit, milk in the fridge, tea and coffee so we felt settled immediately. The guest book had lots of great information about the local area and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the patio having a BBQ or two

- Mel, August 2018
Jacqueline July 2018

“Lovely well equipped cottage.”

The owner responded immediately when I called for help with working the cooker with which there was no problem. Well situated for most of the Cornish coastline. Went out for a 5 hour boat trip with A.K. Wildlife during which we were accompanied by a escort of about 14 dolphins for quite a while when out to sea. A very special holiday in a beautiful place.

- Jacqueline, July 2018

“Great little cottage, well equipped shame we actually spent so little time there ...”

Great little cottage, well equipped shame we actually spent so little time there other than to sleep, had everything you could want, Wi-Fi a bit hit and miss but that's BT for you really

Robert June 2018

“Yes, the key-safe lock at the front of the house needs replacing and has been for some time.”

There is a reference in the guest book from c.18 months ago to it needing replacing but clearly it hasn't been replaced. It almost landed on the foot of one of our party who is recovering from a broken toe. Such a minor job too - 20 minutes and £10. The front door lock mechanism also needs replacing as it is very difficult to lock and unlock the front door. Otherwise, all really enjoyable.

Kathryn May 2018

“We loved staying in Crabapple cottage.”

It is very nicely furnished, very comfortable and clean and in a very good location. The owner had left tulips and fresh fruit which were very nice touches. We had not quite realised that there was no dishwasher, no washing machine (though there is one on site) and no downstairs loo. However in the event none of these was a problem. We had glorious weather.

- Kathryn, May 2018
Jennifer May 2018

“The cottage is in a very peaceful location with attractive gardens.”

We enjoyed Falmouth, Truro and along the westerly coast. And we were very fortunate with mostly dry weather too!

- Jennifer, May 2018
Andy April 2018

“We have had a really enjoyable week at Crabtree.”

From the moment we entered and saw the fruit and beautifully thought out hospitality tray we relaxed. The cottage was spotless and had good quality linen and super thick towels that made things just that bit more special. It is well situated for visiting the beach at Maenporth and Swanpool and has easy access into Falmouth. Brilliant local eateries also made for an easy catering week...no cooking! However the kitchen in the coattge had everything you could think of to make meals....even recipe books. Beds were comfortable and the TV and Wifi reception good...what more could you want from a week away (and the weather wasn't too bad either). We hope to return for another week in the near future. Thank you!

“Crabapple cottage was a lovely property.”

In a convenient location the property was even better equipped than the website led us to expect. It lived up to the pictures online and provided us with a relaxing home from home. Hope to be back!

“A real home from home, Crabapple cottage was an amazing place to stay in, it exceeded all of our expectations.”

We will definitely be booking here again.
