    Freezing cold on arrival with little signs all over the place that things don’t work properly. Unable to use the advertised bath, after I had to clean it myself, as the hot water system is not functioning correctly, the owner admitted this is a long time issue not mentioned in the listing.. Property is very slanted too so we felt seasick walking around. Bed rock hard. Owner requested heating and hot water used sparingly to reduce their costs, I don’t go on holiday to worry about other people’s bills. Log basket was padded out and only half full with a snotty tissue, pasty bag and yoghurt wrapper in it. Got no sleep due to being able to hear the constant movement all night from the flat upstairs too. Followed all instructions from the owner and property manager to try to get the hot water going and was told to run a bath with the kettle. Old food in the freezer that wasn’t ours. Sykes customer service refused to help

    - Raven, January 2026

    Thank you for your comments, Sykes Cottages did try to contact you after I reached out to them on your behalf but they couldn't contact you by phone so they also sent you an email. Waves End is a 200 year old character building set 15 metres above sea level and  we are sorry if there was a chill in the sea air on the day of your arrival. It is double glazed, has underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathroom, a heater in the lounge and the living/dining area also has a logburner.  We do also provide heater instructions in the welcome pack. A further supply of logs was also offered to be brought round but this was also declined.  The bathroom and kitchen can of course have a slight incline as can be found in character properties of this nature and we can of course add a mention of this to the advert. The property is cleaned throughly to a high standard on every changeover as can be seen by the many top cleanliness scores and reviews we receive- The bath may have had some residue cleaning product from over diiligence but our housekeeper did offer to return to remove it but this was declined as you told me you had removed it yourself.   The mattress on the bed is medium, as we find this caters to most guest needs but appreciate it can be subjective and personal preference, although most guests do seem to enjoy it as can be seen in a May 2025 and  also a June 2025 review.  We have been having the bathroom amenities upgraded and so while the water pressure was slightly slower than usual at the time it was still working and could also be topped up with hot water from the standard electric shower over the bath. We also left a note for guests to explain this as we felt this was a courteous thing to do.  The housekeeper did also offer to visit as soon as possible and explain how to use the shower thermostat dial which has industry standard blue and red markings to make clear which to use for which Property Owner

The property

Wave’s End, an enchanting ground-floor apartment in a 200 year old cottage designed for the perfect romantic retreat on the sea front at Portmellon.

The cottage is just over the hill from the picturesque fishing village of Mevagissey in Cornwall. Boasting only 12 metres from your door onto the beach, captivating sea views, and an ambiance steeped in romance, Wave’s End invites couples to escape and cherish quality time together.

Step into your romantic haven and immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere of this Cornish hideaway.

The living and dining area, adorned with a woodburning stove, sets the stage for relaxing evenings in.

Create delectable meals in the fully-equipped kitchen or savour an intimate dinner for two in the homely setting of the living/dining room; alternatively, enjoy your first glass of fizz in the sunshine, admiring the breath-taking sea views, and planning your upcoming itinerary.

As the day winds down, retire to the bedroom featuring a plush kingsize bed, or indulge in a leisurely soak in the bathroom, complete with a bath and shower over.

Waves End ensures a memorable and rejuvenating holiday, where every moment is crafted for romance. Unlock a world of beauty and adventure just outside your front door.

Step out your front gate straight onto the beach at Portmellon when you can hire a paddle-board or Kayak from the ‘Shack’ in the bay, or just sit on the sea wall to watch the ever changing sea views.

Walk the costal path to the right and in 15 mins you will find yourself at chapel points where there is regular sighting of seals.

Mevagissey village is only a four minute drive from the cottage or a 15 minute walk over the hill, perfect for a meander through the cobbled streets, where you can explore local pubs, eateries, and craft shops.

If you're in the mood, The Rising Sun Inn in Portmellon, offers a convenient option for a refreshing drink, or you can venture into Mevagissey, which provides an abundance of pubs and lots of restaurants to enjoy!

Immerse yourself in the village's history at the harbour museum, and on rainy days, explore the free aquarium.

Venture to St. Austell for a day of discovery, where the nearby Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, and historic Charlestown harbour beckon.

For a change of scenery, take a short ferry ride to Fowey, where you can marvel at the stunning south coast and keep an eye out for dolphins and basking sharks.

For a night of romance, Truro awaits with its stunning Georgian architecture, culinary delights, and cultural experiences at the Hall for Cornwall.

Start planning your Cornish escape today and let Wave’s End be the backdrop for your romantic getaway.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
