“There was no hot water from the kitchen tap.”

The cottage is in a fantastic location.

- Andrew, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We have spoken with the owner and it sounds like the immersion heater was off. There are instructions on how to turn it on and where to find it in the property information. - Best wishes, The Owner Relations Team Property Owner

“We had booked this cottage a few months ago for a week in July.”

After having to cancel our holiday to cornwall twice already due to Covid we were really excited to come down. The cottage is small but lots of space for 2. The facilities are good and even though it was July we used the fire a few times during the storms. Unfortunately the main issue for us was cleanliness, they were dead bugs squished on the walls, a stain on the mattress, mould and damp around the windows and the cutlery was dirty in the drawers. There was also curry stains down the cupboards. We paid over £800 for a week at this cottage which to us is a lot of money. Unfortunately it really needed a good clean for us to be happy and considering Covid you’d hope to be staying somewhere that was sparkling clean. We’re not overly fussy people but just disappointed that this hasn’t been kept on top of considering circumstances. Good location, cottage is cute but that’s it really..

- Danny, July 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we take all comments seriously and are sorry to hear this. Had you contacted us during your stay we would have sent our housekeeper to rectify these issues immediately. Please be assured that we will be following this up. Property Owner

“Westerly is a lovely little cottage with a beautiful, comfortable living area and bedroom which overlooks green fields as far as the eye can see.”

The bus was handy and there are excellent walks. Paul pub is close by. I loved staying here and will be returning.

“Place a little bit tired, but had all the necessaries.”

Access code to WiFi was a challenge to find

- Simon, May 2021

Thank you for your feedback. The WIFI code is on the back of the router but also in the information pack. We have taken on board your comments. Property Owner
Jenny April 2021

“The only thing that spoilt is was the fact that one of the keys for the front door was broken.”

Initially a helpful staff member told me that another key would be brought to me. However, the next day I was told I should just use the back door. This made it more difficult to load the car when leaving.

- Jenny, April 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. Please accept our apologies for the fact that the key was broken. We did arrange for a professional locksmith to attend the property as soon as possible; new keys have been cut onsite and there should be no further problems. We look forward to welcoming you at Westerly Cottage in the future. Property Owner
Ralph October 2020

“Arrival to cottage and entry in was easy.”

Cleaner was running late, but very professional, friendly and apologetic - no issues here at all, as Covid cleaning taking a little longer. Cottage in good condition, great kitchen appliances and wonderful log burner. Unfortunately, had an issue with the mattress on the first night, the springs were poking through. Contacted Sykes, and what great job you did in sorting it out. In under an hour, I had email from Sykes confirming owner would allow us to buy a memory foam mattress topper and refund us. All sorted in under 2 hours. Cant really ask anymore. Well done Sykes and a big thanks to the landlord for being so professional. Will definitely book through Sykes again.

- Ralph, October 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We glad to hear that you were happy with our response. The owner has now installed an award-winning mattress which exceeds all British standards. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Emily August 2020

“This was a stunning cottage in a great location.”

It had everything we needed and more. We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket when we arrived which was a lovely touch. Will defo recommend and would happily go back.

- Emily, August 2020
Kay July 2020

“Most of the doors were a struggle to close properly (needs the attention of a carpenter) Wfi access is not clear on arrival we had to sort ourselves should be in the welcome pack.”

Garden feature is not completey as described and is overlooked in all directions

- Kay, July 2020

Thank you for your feedback. The owner has confirmed that the WiFi code is clearly displayed on the rear of the hub. The main entrances and exits to the house have been installed by a professional carpenter and the internal doors are entirely in keeping with the character of an early 19th century cottage. Westerly Cottage sits at the heart of a cluster of old dwellings and we do make it clear on the website, that there is shared access to the rear of the property. Property Owner
Serena January 2020

“Just returned from a very comfortable stay in this lovely little cottage.”

Arrived in cold , wet and windy weather to find the heaters on and the cottage very warm and cosy. Parking was just down the street and the cottage had everything we needed for a weeks' stay including a very good log burner. The location was great for us - easy access to Newlyn , Penzance , Mousehole and all the coastal walking we wanted.There's a bus stop outside the door and The Kings Arms is a stroll along the road.We cooked in most nights and found the kitchen to be well equipped , the bed was comfy and the cottage clean. Very nice property for a winter stay.

- Serena, January 2020
Eileen September 2019

“Had a nice break , the cottage a bit grubby round the edges work surface in the kitchen sticky.”

Would say the cottage is not suitable for a dog, the garden is much smaller than the photo looks and was unaware it was not secure.As the weather was very wet , nothing obviously to do with the cottage, but making it very hard to have a wet dog there. Need to be more honest with photography and really feel you should not allow pet there.

- Eileen, September 2019

Thank you very much for taking the time to comment, we're really pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. 'Westerley' welcomes up to two well behaved dogs and we think it's entirely suitable, however we agree that it's important guests understand the patio is not enclosed with shared access past it. We recognise this is important which is why we're careful to mention it in the description. We're happy you had a good stay and we hope to welcome you back soon! Property Owner
Peter July 2019

“Property was not up to standard of quality we expected given it's 3 keys.”

Cottage was not as clean as should have been and some kitchen basics we're missing (measuring jug). Patio area is not private and following our complaint the description of the property has been amended. Location of cottage is very good for exploring this area of Cornwall.

- Peter, July 2019

Thank you very much for taking the time to send us your feedback. We've discussed this with the owners who are very apologetic for the inconvenience of finding the cottage in the condition that you did. We would like to let both you and future guests know that following your stay the owners have employed the services of new cleaners in order to ensure the property is presented to visitors thoroughly clean and as expected. We'd like to reassure guests that they can have confidence when staying here. We are very sorry that you experienced some issues, but we do hope that you overall had an enjoyable stay and we very much hope to see you again soon! Property Owner
Lindsey June 2019

“The cottage its self is lovely, really well placed clean and comfortable and with very peaceful views over the fields to the sea.”

There is a bus stop right out side the front door that makes it easy to go and explore with out taking the car, The garden\ patio however was a big disappointment the pictures are taken from a hugely misleading angle and give the impression that this is a privet cozy area, It is not !! it is and open area in the middle of the neighbors washing, it is not enclosed at all and has an access way running through it so there is no useable out side area for an other wise very dog friendly cottage. had we known this we probably would have booked another cottage as an out side space was important to us. we do understand that space is a premium in this kind of accommodation but I feel that the pictures and the description we deliberately miss leading.

- Lindsey, June 2019

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Westerly Cottage. We have spoken with the owners regarding your comments on the patio and he has confirmed the patio belongs exclusively to Westerly Cottage but there is indeed a right of access, otherwise known as an easement, to enable other residents to reach the rear of their properties, this is quite common amongst terraced Cornish cottages of over 100 years in age. We do mention this on our websites and can only apologise if you did not see this. We hope despite your comments you enjoyed your stay in the Westcountry. Property Owner

About the location

PENZANCE

St Ives 8 miles. Helicopter to Isles of Scilly - 30 minutes

Penzance hosts Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival. There are also The Exchange, Newlyn and Penlee Art Galleries. One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas is the spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, the coastline hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves as well as winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by a causeway to the shore at Marazion is the National Trust’s stunningly beautiful St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens. Walk across at low water and take one of the ferry boats back when the tide is up. Penzance with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as it is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Isles of Scilly as well as being the harbor. The South West Coast Path passing through Penzance winds its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End. On the way, stop off for a coffee and a rest at beautiful Lamorna Cove, explore the open air Minack Theatre and marvel at the cliffs as you approach Gwennap Head. A stunning walk for those seeking solitude, exercise and some of the UK’s best coastal scenery. Penzance is the perfect holiday base. Ideally placed for exploring this land of Celtic myth and legend and with enough to do and see in the immediate area to keep all the family occupied.
