Respryn

Really nice place to stay.

Hot tub was lovely and clean. Lots of places to go and explore from this base.

The property is exceptionally well-equipped and the owner is friendly and informative without being intrusive.

Just spent a lovely week in Respryn enjoyed having the hot tub, Gareth was so welcoming and left us to enjoy our holiday, the welcome hamper was really nice

We had a fantastic stay!

Everything we needed was provided, it was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The outdoor space was lovely and the hot tub was perfect.

A great base to explore Cornwall.

Lovely accommodation just perfect for what we needed .walking distance to Mevagissey it is down hill lovely harbour. To top it all a wonderful welcome pack . Very yummy. Thank you Gareth.

The property was very clean and possibly the best equipped place we have ever stayed in.

Gareth was friendly and informative and supplied a generous welcome pack. We were well aware of the "steep" climb up the road and the compactness of the living space, so were not put off by them. The kitchen has plenty of storage space for food. The bedroom is a good size with a comfortable bed and the spacious bathroom has a separate bath and shower. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Lovely cosy annex , secluded garden with great host that cant do enough to help your stay be pleasant from start to finish , thankyou

Good location for Mevagissey and exploring the area; a lovely, cosy, clean flat with excellent facilities, and the welcome basket was much appreciated.

The owner was friendly and told us the best walking routes.

With his knowledge we had a lovely walk to the lost gardens of heligan and also to the the harbour. The accommodation was lovely and well equipped. Hot tub was lovely and warm.

Lovely cottage with great facilities.

Was a little small in places but plenty of storage space. Hot tub was perfect even in the rain.

A lovely little cottage which had everything you needed.

It was situated near to the village - even though it was a steep hill up! Lots to explore around but you needed a car. The hot tub was a extra treat. Thank you for the amazing welcome hamper!

A lovely little property, perfect for making your base while exploring Cornwall.

The welcome basket was a lovely and very thoughtful touch. And the hot tub was the icing on the cake. We'd happily stay here the next time we make the trek down from North Yorkshire.

All was very excellent accommodation owner was very helpful

Fantastic place.

Gareth has thought of everything that you could possibly need. The hot tub is a fantastic addition to Respryn, really helps soak away the aches of work life. We loved the stay so much that we have already booked to go back next year. Can highly recommend to anyone.

What lovely little place.

Gareth was great host. It was very well equipped, clean and comfortable. Hot tub was spot on, especially after a long drive. Would highly recommend it to anyone, and love to back one day. 11/10

I want to start in a positive note by saying the welcome pack was excellent and the hot tub was an added bonus, the owner even supplied extra towels.

The accommodation was clean and tidy on arrival and in the location we wanted to be . Sadly it was way smaller than we imagined. The photographs on the site made it look much bigger than it actually is. The bedroom is a good size as is the bathroom as they’re part of the owners house. The lounge and kitchen it would seem are a converted garage, it kept reminding me of my nans old static caravan. It is actually the first time I’ve ever stayed somewhere where the bathroom is twice the size of the lounge area. This was the deal breaker for me to be honest as the lounge felt so cluttered with a huge two seater and a small dining table. If I sat at the table my husband couldn’t get past to get in the kitchen and if he sat on the other seat the access to the bedroom was blocked. We found ourselves moving furniture around most of the time to achieve daily things. The TV was just half a metre away whilst we were watching it. My first reaction was disappointment but after our first day, the rain stopped the weather was kind meaning we could eat in the lovely peaceful garden area making use of the table chairs, sun loungers were also available and a large parasol which was great. The kitchen was ok and fairly well equipped but I felt pure frustration looking for utensils in a bottom cupboard which where in a plastic drawer storage within the cupboard… not easy when cooking, opening door and having to search each of the tiny plastic drawers. There are no pull out drawers in the fitted kitchen itself. The property did have a washing machine which was useful but I feel a dishwasher would be better as we spent far too much time washing up whist cooking because of lack of space on worktops. The bedroom was lovely .. much bigger .. lovely crisp bedding and plenty of wardrobe space. The downside for me though was no dressing table .. just a very high chest of drawers with tiny mirror above. I’m tiny myself in height so struggled to put on my make up and dry my hair in the mirror as it was high up . There was a larger wall mirror across the room but no socket near by. I could have sat on floor there but I prefer not to do that in a place that isn’t mine in fear of getting makeup on the carpet, so I used the kitchen table. Again this caused problems as it blocked other entrances and my husband wanted to get in the bathroom to get ready for our evening out. The bathroom is a tad dated but very clean with decent shower and a very very large bath. All towels were clean and extra had been left which is always helpful. The location was good for us as we don’t mind the uphill walk at all but if you are elderly or struggle with walking it’s something to bear in mind. The owner is usually on site but he was away until our last but one day which suited us to he honest as we are very private people. He did however introduce himself on his return and he was very pleasant. We did pay a good £150 more for this cottage than previous ones we have rented over the last few years on the coast in Cornwall. Sadly this very tiny flatlet wasn’t for us despite the hot tub. I used the hot tub twice and my husband used it three times. To sum it up .. we loved the location, the garden was peaceful, lovely and well equipped. The place is pleasant, clean but looking a little tired but the major problem for us was it was just too small for us. A floor plan on the site would have been helpful … making a judgement from well taken photos can be tricky. We have stayed in small cottages before a with no problem but we wouldn’t have booked this had we been aware of its lack of space in the kitchen/lounge area.

Our second visit.

Just as enjoyable as the first time, probably even more so having had the feast week recommended to us during our last stay. Gareth, such a friendly and welcoming host was definitely right, it's a great week. Respryn is a lovely property to stay in, everything you need and more than you expect. Thank you so much for another cracking stay, in a lovely village, in a marvellous holiday home. The feast week celebrations were amazing! We hope to see you again soon.

Host was very friendly and accommodating but not intrusive.

Accommodation was adequate and bijou. Hedge bordering the property had been allowed to grow too tall restricting sunlight and would benefit from pruning. However property is located at the top of an extremely steep long winding hill and should be avoided by anyone with a heart condition or walking difficulties.

Enjoyed every minute.

Our second time back and will be returning in the future.

We had an amazing time at Respryn, the accommodation was absolutely perfect, with everything you could possibly need.

Very comfortable, totally private and with off road parking. The added bonus was the hot tub and sunny garden, which we loved and appreciated after a day walking the coast path! Just a short walk to the village, shops, pubs and harbour. Gareth was really friendly and helpful. We highly recommend a stay here.

Absolutely fabulous!

! Everything you need is this beautiful annex. Lovely outlook into the garden with great views beyond.The bonus of the hot tub was just great! Lovely and warm with the central heating on, the bed so comfortable! Gareth the owner what a nice man there if you need him, but if you don't never interfering. We could go and on just a great place to stay. Lovely welcome gift awaits you on arrival. Can highly recommend you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic place to stay , very nice places to eat the sharks fin do a lovely sunday lunch cannot wait to go back .

Nice and cosy place, hot tub was good, complementary items were good, host was very welcoming, really well equipped,

A second lovely stay at Respryn.

Snug and well equipped. The hot tub is great for easing the muscles after long walks or for stargazing at night. The location of the accommodation is excellent for walking to the village (a pint or two in the village makes the climb back up the hill much easier!). Thanks to Gareth, the perfect host too - there if you need him, unobtrusive when you don't!

The cottage was fabulous.

It was very comfortable with everything needed for a great holiday. Wee have. I hesitation in recommending this property as an excellent base to explore Mevagissey

Had a great holiday, Gareth was a great host and made us very welcome and gave us a great welcome basket on arrival.

Our second time staying and it did not disappoint us the it has everything you could possibly want and the welcome hamper was amazing everything was super clean and the new hot tub was brilliant as was the new washer/dryer Gareth is the perfect host and more than happy to help with anything during your stay I would recommend to anyone wanting the very best staycation

Nice welcome basket on arrival containing.

Packet of biscuits, a cream tea for two, a decent bottle of wine. Could do with a dishwasher and not a washing machine in the kitchen. The owner leaves you alone which is good and the hot tub is great. Loads of wildlife in the area and overlooking fields. Very relaxing. Around 5 minute walk into town and a pub called the ship. Great atmosphere and food. Very quiet area. People that live in Mevagissey are very welcoming. Fully recommended.

Everything spotless, well equipped and a lovely welcome pack provided.

Very quiet but only 10 minute walk to the centre of Mevagissey and beach. Owner friendly and helpful but not intrusive.

Lovely cosy little flat with everything you need and more.

Gareth was very helpful and friendly. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise. Hot tub was great. The weather was kind to us so we had a great week. Mevagissey itself is lovely and there are plenty of shops and places to eat. The hill to and from the flat was a challenge! Fab holiday.

It was a good stay, but a bit short of space in the indoor sitting / dining area.

Not a problem in warm weather when you can enjoy the private garden, but a bit confining on wet or cold days. The outdor spa tub was excellent for star-gazing on clear evenings!

This property is a little gem.

The property was so comfortable the garden patio and hot tub was an added bonus. It was so lovely to comeback and sit out in the garden in the warm weather. The welcome pack was lovely and so good that there was milk put in the fridge. We had such a great holiday here and it was so peaceful and quiet.

Lovely cottage with all amenities.

Hot Tub was very good, clean and serviced regularly. Central location for tourist visits and nice village with shops, restaurants and pubs. Host was very attentive and helpful. We will be back.

Couldn't be be better for a Mevagissy stay.

Just a short walk up a fairly steep hill from the town centre. Very clean place, hot tub immaculate and such a welcome pack from the owner. It is quite small but enough for any couple and very well equipped with every kitchen requirement you would need.

Beautiful place to stay.

The standard of cleanliness was outstanding. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. The hot tub was the cherry on the cake. All in all a great stay unfortunately the weather was typical good old British weather but it didn't stop us.

There is a lot of damp in the property behind the fridge freezer and on the back of the curtains in the lounge.

It is really tiny. Smaller than expected. TV way too close to watch in comfort. Heating controlled by next door owners. Not able to adjust it yourself at all. However did give us a lovely hamper on arrival with tea coffee etc. nice touch. Hard to find as on side of owners property tucked away. We were outside and didn’t even know it was there. Needs better signage. On a huge hill. Not very accessible in a larger vehicle. But not owners fault that!

Lovely accommodation, very clean and comfortable.

Beautiful towels and bedding. Very comfy bed. Great bonus having the hot tub and also Sky a TV. It was a nice touch,receiving the welcome hamper/treats.

Great location clean, great hosts perhaps a bit smaller than we thought but didn't effect our stay or holiday.

Will return in future.

We had an amazing stay.

We arrived a little early but Gareth welcomed us, vacuum cleaner in hand and immediately gave us some great tips about the local area. We were able to leave our bags before heading off into the village in search of lunch. Upon our return, there was a fantastic welcome hamper containing all kinds of essentials and a couple of extra surprises in the fridge (I won't spoil it for future guests). This was totally unexpected and a lovely start to our holiday. The property itself has everything you need, everything! Although it's compact, the only room that is actually small is the living room area. Kitchen, bedroom and bathroom are perfectly sized. The hot tub was excellent and clean, very private too. The garden and the outlook from it are beautiful, we could see a bird of prey visiting an adjacent field almost every morning whilst we had our coffee. Our calves are still burning from the walk in and out of the village, at 10 mins sauntering pace it was ideal for us and helped burn off a few calories after dining at several of the excellent local bars and restaurants. The bed was comfy, the towels all super soft and the bath (massive) & shower were excellent. There's not much more I can add other than Gareth and Judith were both wonderful hosts and made it clear to 'give them a knock' if there was anything we needed, there wasn't as they seem to have thought of everything already! absolutely lovely hosts. We will be back and are already looking forward to another stay. Thank you so very much. Ady & Vix xxx.

Lovely little compact apartment, very comfortable with everything you could possibly need, friendly hosts.

The extras were fab, hot tub, books, jigsaws, salt & pepper, cooking oil, hand wash, washing powder welcome pack is a delightful surprise, close to shops and pubs though it’s a steep walk back!

Lovely cottage, great views & friendly owners made a really enjoyable weeks break.

Excellent accommodation.

Hot tub added bonus. Friendly welcoming hosts. Would definitely recommend.

very nice welcome on arrival , welcome pack lovely.

The main problem we found was the location of the property being at the top of a steep hill. The gradient of the hill was not suitable for people of our age group who may have walking difficulties. Sykes cottages should inform clients of the steep hill. We were not told at all.

Although rather compact, very well equipped and ideally situated, with very friendly hosts.

Probably best to avoid approaching via the town and come in from the back, as the town can be a nightmare! The jacuzzi is of course, the icing on the cake.

Very nicely located.

Very welcoming and helpful.

Amazing !

So lovely . We definitely would love to return x we felt so spoiled by the lovely hamper and fluffy white towels and all the extras to ensure we had everything we could possibly want. The hot tub was always ready to jump into .

Lovely property , in an ideal location , just a short walk into the town .

The hosts were lovely and very helpful. The hot tub was a great addition.

Respryn was a small cosy place to stay perfect location to explore Cornwall.

The accommodation was clean and well equipped. In places it did show signs of damp and an obvious problem was noticeable in the bedroom. This however did not effect our enjoyment of the property. The hot tub was great to come home too after a day exploring.

Beautiful little accommodation, very well equipped and very clean, the property owners were very polite.

Decent view

loved our stay at Respryn.

Gareth and Judith are lovely and welcoming. Perfect location for exploring Cornwall and Mevagissey was a dream. Recommend the Ship and the Fountains Inn but book a table as often very busy. Could not ask for more for a holiday. Loved it Jon & Tracey

Because of mobility problems I couldn't go, they were amazing , they even said "If you can make it, even for a couple of days, absolutely beautiful, kind people, if I didn't have mobility issues, we would have been there, beautiful place, beautiful hosts, I'm just sorry I couldn't go, anyone staying with them would be happy, and lucky xx

Really enjoyed our week at Respryn, accommodation was clean and comfortable, everything we needed was there.

Big thank you to Gareth and Judith, would definitely recommend.

Excellent place to stay, this place is everything you need for a relaxing break.

Gareth and Judith are welcoming hosts and are on hand with tops on the best local walks ect.Loved the hot tub at the end of the day and the basket of Cornish goodies was an unexpected delight we enjoyed our stay so much and the area is lovely with beautiful views.

We had a lovely holiday in Megavissey and the holiday let was very clean, comfortable and well equipped.

The welcome pack was a lovely bonus and very much appreciated. The owners were very nice and friendly. There was nothing I would change about our holiday, not even the steep hill on the walk back from the harbour

Brilliant host.

Nothing was too much trouble he made us feel very welcome and he obviously wanted us to enjoy our stay which we did

Compact and cosy annex, quiet and private.

The owner lives in the attached main bungalow providing a warm welcome. Absolutely everything is provided and even had a lovely welcome box of goodies. The village has very narrow streets not designed for cars and difficult for wheelchairs. Most shops do not have level access but lovely gardens and places of interest to visit. The lost gardens do a wicked Sunday lunch. A very big thank you for making our stay so special.

Great location.

We had a fantastic holiday, and made the most of being local to Mevagissey, Lost Gardens, St Austell, Charlestown and the Eden Project. We went out to St Michael’s Mount, Mousehole, Tintagel and Port Isaac too. Then we can home to a lovely, comfortable apartment with everything we needed. All facilities were thought of and the attention to detail was great. Huge thank you for a lovely stay.

Lovely comfortable place to stay , all we could ever need in the accommodation, the jacuzzi was wonderful, and the welcome basket was a very pleasant sunrise .

This was our long awaited honeymoon and we thoroughly enjoyed our week.

The welcome hamper was a lovely surprise and everything we needed was supplied. Our home for the week was clean and very welcoming and the hot tub was very much used after long days of exploring. We recommend visiting The Cellar if you fancy a relaxing drink, the staff there were very friendly.

Lovely welcome pack.

Hosts very welcoming. We'll equipped cottage.

We had very good hot weather which made the property very hot inside.

We loved the hot tub and the private garden.

The cottage was lovely as were the hosts.

There was everything you could possibly need. Plenty of hot water and heating.Sheets and towels provided,washer dryer and fridge freezer which means that you dont have to pack loads of clothes, and you can shop for a week and not have to hit the shops again if you don't want to. The hot tub was wonderful after a long day walking the coastal paths. Will definitely be back.

The accommodation whilst compact had everything we could wish for.

The annexe was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. The bedroom and bathroom were of really generous preportions. Our hosts were really warm & welcoming, even providing a welcome basket with wine & cream tea etc. With the addition of a hot tub outside it was just perfect.

The annex is compact but has everything you could possibly need.

The hot tub was great to relax. Beautifully organised, clean and nice to have car so close. Just brilliant holiday.

Another perfect stay.

Third holiday with Sykes this year and would definitely recommend

Respryn was clean, tidy, warm, very comfortable and well equipped throughout.

It has a lovely little garden with hot tub which we made the most of. The owners Gareth and Judith were very welcoming and Instantly made us feel Very much at home. Gareth even gave us a lift to the local restaurant on our wedding anniversary although he and Judith had other arrangements of their own. We would definitely recommend Respryn to family and friends and look forward to returning some time in the future.

Bed was very comfortable.

A major, major plus! The hot tub was excellent Owners were very helpful, accommodating and offered some good suggestions for visiting places, locally. Would definitely recommend as long as we can get another week there.

Lovely place to stay.

Hosts were very friendly and helpful. The hot tub was wonderful to relax in. The welcome pack was a sweet surprise. If you do not mind walking up a steep hill,I would highly recommend. Mevagissey is beautiful. So much too see and do in the surrounding area.

This was the first time we used Sykes cottages and was impressed with the communication we received right up to our holiday explaining the next steps, information of the area and reminders.

The annex was lovely the equipment and utensils was of a high standard and the hosts were thoughtful, helpful and quiet neighbours. The living room area is very compact but the bedroom kitchen and bathroom are of a good size. The outside area and views are lovely as is the large sized hot tub. The annex is situated at the top of a hill therefore mobility should be considered. Mevagissey is a lovely quaint area and the Respryn is a great base to explore from. We would recommend the Respryn and would definitely return

Fabulous holiday, would happily recommend this place to anyone.

..

The road into town was not for the over 80s it is about 1 in 4 for some would be to much.

Use the car if you can walk. The weather wasn’t to good!

We had a lovely holiday.

Was made very welcome . Lovely welcome pack with all essentials.Very clean and tidy . Able to get to all areas quite easy. Hot tub a lovely touch and very clean. First time in Cornwall and definitely won’t be the last. Home from home .

The accommodation whilst small has everything you need to enjoy your stay in Mevagissey, very well equipped and to a high standard, the addition of your own personal hot tub is a welcome bonus, another bonus is being able to park easily, the proprietors could not be more helpful and accomadating nothing is too much trouble.

Highly recommended.

The welcoming pack was unbelievable.

Much appreciated. The cottage was neat, clean, tidy, and well presented, a credit to the owners, who were a very friendly couple. Would be more than happy to return for a further holiday. Would recommend for people wanting to visit Mevagissey, and surrounds.

Wonderful holiday at Respryn.

Perfect apartment for 2 people. Spotlessly clean. Well equipped kitchen. Our hosts could not have been more welcoming and the hamper on arrival was superb. Lovely garden area with a hot tub, what more could you ask for ! Would highly recommend.

Really nice accommodation with a lovely welcome hamper.

mr &mrs jones a wonderful couple was a lovely and very thoughtful surprize to get the welcome hamper and they have thought of things that most places don't ever think of they could not do enough for you would have know trouble in telling family and friends to come we were so impressed

Initial reaction was that the cottage was way too small for all our stuff however there was more than enough storage space for everything.

The cottage is of an extremely high standard topped off with a fabulous hot tub and extremely good hosts. Our arrival and stay was enhanced with a very thoughtful welcome basket of Cornwalls delicacies.

The cottage was wonderful.

The owners was amazing.Everything thought of including a welcoming pack which included scones with clotted cream and jam also included tea coffee and a bottle of wine.The hot tub was lovely which we used everyday Definitely recommend .

There was a lovely welcome pack on our arrival which we really appreciated.

The annex although small is perfect, it has all you need. And all the extra bits, soap, kitchen utensils etc etc made it home from home. And if course the hot tub just made it very special after a day exploring and reminiscing in Cornwall. Was perfect.

There was everything, and more, that you could possibly need in this beautifully presented holiday home.

It was very clean and tidy and the furnishings were lovely. The jacuzzi was private and very well maintained and clean - a lovely way to spend an evening under the stars. We used it every day. The owners live next door but apart from a welcome as we arrived they left us to enjoy our stay without interference. The hamper full of delicious food and drinks was a fantastic surprise. It is a longish drive down a narrow lane to get there but local drivers seemed quite considerate. The walk down to Mevagissey was steep but the views are amazing. Well worth it. We would highly recommend a stay at this holiday home.

Hosts were lovely and friendly, welcoming and happy to give information , not intrusive but let it be known they were three if we needed them.

The accommodation was lovely and clean and the owners very nice.

The hot tub was not working, however we were able to use the owner’s hot tub as we pleased. Although, this was fine the hot tub was not as private as the one that we were supposed to have used. However, we appreciate that breakdown occur and are unavoidable Kind Regards Richard Gannon

A thoroughly enjoyable week - great location for exploring beautiful south Cornwall.

Compact, cosy and comfortable accommodation - perfect for two. Generously equipped with several additional touches (including lovely welcome pack) together with helpful but unobtrusive hosts - Cornish hospitality at it's finest. Highly recommended!

A very cosy small flat/annexe which was very comfortable for a couple.

The facilities were good and the hot tub, after a days walking on the coast path, was divine.

It was a lovely cosy annex to stay in for the week .

Facilities were perfect and the couple who own the property were lovely many exciting site to visit in the area the locals were friendly even down to the little touches for my wife’s 40th birthday surprise they catered for to make it even more special. Thank you

Fantastic couple who are there if you need them, without being intrusive.

Fantastic welcome pack, everything you could need was provided and hot tub was incredible.

The cottage was really good, so quiet and really well equipped.

The hot tub was a real bonus. The owners live next door and are really helpful if required but in no way intrusive so you feel like you are there on your own. Hot tub is quite private and not overlooked. Kitchen easy to use, great big fridge freezer, oven is excellent and all the bits you need to cook self catering all week. Location is superb, right on the edge of the countryside, walk downhill to Mega is about 7 minutes, but longer on the way back as its pretty fierce the hill... By the end of the week we were getting fitter!!! Towels for bathing and separate for hot tub provided and really good quality, as is the basic toiletries/cleaning products so no need to bring any. Just take yourselves and relax!

We had a wonderful week in Mevagissey.

The flat was cosy and contained everything we could need. Gareth and Judith were very welcoming. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise, fresh scones upon arrival, just what we needed after a long drive. The hot tub was a welcome reward after walking up the hill each day. We hope to return again soon.

Fabulous apartment everything you need.

Welcome pack was very generous and the hot tub is a great way to relax in the evening.

Top class week spent here at this lovely, spotless apartment, hot tub great, take earplugs for noisy birds as soon as the sun rises, Mevagissey is a great place, lovely food and friendly locals, try to take in the Lost Gardens of Heligan - hard to say how great this was

Really enjoyed our time at Respryn, the cottage had everything you needed and more, the welcome pack we received was a lovely start to our holiday and greatly appreciated.

The hosts were great, Gareth and Judith were very informative about the local area including lovely pubs and restaurants. The place was clean and tidy, couldn't fault it. Definitely a must, a lovely part of the country to visit.

We had a fantastic time, the cottage may be small but has everything you could need for a relaxing break, the owners are very helpful but don't intrude on your privacy, the hot tub was wonderful after a long day exploring Cornwall, we would highly recommend and hope to return soon.

I downloaded the Sykes App onto my phone.

When we were trying to find the property the map link on the App was incorrect. It takes you up the wrong hill out of Mevagissey. Luckily the owners included detailed information on finding the property. We informed the owners that your website information was incorrect. Please correct it.
