Kernyk

Amazing house, loved the location and how close it was to the beach.

The newly re-furbed kitchen was lovely and the bedroom was absolutely massive. The main negative was the fact the living room was quite uncomfortable. We were out every day, but in the evenings the sofa was not comfy at all for 2 adults to sit and relax on.

The property was stunning, very clean, tidy, well equipped and comfortable.

Whilst the downstairs was very modern, the exterior and upstairs still held the character of a cosy cottage. The kitchen is very well equipped, and there is lovely patio furniture to enjoy the garden. If needed there is a rotary washing line at the top of the garden. The garden attracts a wealth of birds and other wildlife. The main bedroom is very spacious with ample storage, in both wardrobes and chest of drawers. There must be something very special with the bed as we had the best weeks sleep in months, despite it being the middle of the heatwave - our sleep wasn't impacted. The property is perfectly situated for the beach and the South West Coastal Pathway - we took a beautiful stroll (I have arthritis in knees but didn't let that stop me - just needed my walking tick / pole at times) along the path and were rewarded with seeing a pod of 6 dolphins and a seal. We also enjoyed time on the beach which was very quiet, clean and very picturesque. It was also great to not have to travel far (never drove more than 30 mins) for days out, the property is close to so much, St Michael's Mount was a real highlight and an achievement to walk up to the top of the castle. There was also a lovely welcome pack, with biscuits, sugar, coffee, tea bags, pint of milk, and cleaning products. We'd highly recommend this property to family and friends. The only things we feel could be improved was there was limited information about the local area, such as walking routes, closes GP, how to use the fire, wifi password (found on the router) etc, although there was information about the bins. We just found it unusual for there to be no welcome folder - we did contact Sykes customer services and on the second time of asking they provided us with some information which was helpful. Overall this was an amazing property in a beautiful location.

Kernyk is a beautiful cottage, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The sofa and chairs not so comfy but thats the one and only very slight niggle. The villiage is so peaceful and a very short walk to a stunning beach. We loved our stay in this gorgeous cottage and would definitely book again! Thank you

Lovely property.

clean and bright. Great welcome box and milk thank you. Kitchen well provided with all the utensils you need. The only one thing we would have loved is a parasol for the outside table,

As my wife and I are both 77 years of age we did not find the seating in the Lounge area at all comfortable.

I actually brought one of the kitchen chairs into the Lounge to sit on to watch television. My wife also found the Bed to be particularly uncomfortable as well.

Really comfortable property.

Very well equipped. Excellent location. Very quite and close to the beach, coffee shop and restaurant (The Cabin) which was a great place to eat.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at kernyk.

Hope to book it again next year. My only fault was a rail in the shower for disabled safety. Thank you.

Great cottage very comfortable will book again

Perfect for us.

Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Lovely outside space and patio area and a comfortable king-sized bed. Great shower. Will certainly book again.

Really loved the place, so warm and welcoming.

Beautiful shower! Superb location with 2 cafés and beach within 10 mins walking distance and access to the coastal path. Wonderful pub within 2 mins, serving excellent food. Hourly bus service nearby. Definitely recommend. Only slight downside was parking, could be lucky and park just outside the property or else parking on street in the village which felt safe.

Lovely, clean, warm, comfortable property that we enjoyed an Easter 2024 break at.

Everything you need and very tastefully decorated with local artwork. Pint of Cornish milk, local biscuits, tea/coffee etc greeted us on arrival, in an eco friendly welcome pack. High quality bedding and very comfortable beds in both rooms. Beautiful garden which unfortunately we did not use much due to rainy weather. Nice little bolthole, would book again.

We had a superb week and were really pleased with the cottage.

Lovely and convenient village location with an excellent beach hut close by. Would strongly recommend this cottage.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful Cornish cottage with everything we needed.

It is set in a lovely village and with just a five minute walk to the beach.

Another comfortable stay.

We’ve booked for next year.

We loved our stay in a lovely property , super clean , everything you need for a lovely holiday, ideally situated

Let me start on a positive note!

!! The location was amazing so close to the beach and cabin beach cafe. Unfortunately as we entered the property we were met by a living room in desperate need of an update, there were big stains on the cheap carpet the sofas were drab and there were wires hanging loose under the tv which is a risk if you have a child with you as we did. In the kitchen area was a not so good glass partition and there was no privacy curtains or blinds on the doors leading into the garden which would have been ok if there hadn’t been people cutting through the gates and across the garden. Upstairs the bathroom was in need of an update the power shower would have been ok if the tray didn’t fill up so quickly, we had to keep turning the shower off, there was mould around the sealant and flaking paintwork, there was also no shelf in the shower for putting your shampoo etc. The bedrooms were ok and beds fairly comfortable but there is a dangerous step leading out of the bedroom and off the landing if you forgot about it you could end up falling down the stairs not good if you have a child with you. We didn’t see the owners who from what I read in the feedback lived next door, it’s the first time I have stayed in a place and not been greeted by the owners. This place is rated as 4 star I think you need to re-think this rating as it is definitely not 4 star inside. We didn’t stay in the property or even cook and eat in it as we didn’t feel comfortable cooking and eating there. Such a shame this could be an amazing little home.

Fabulous place for a break.

Cottage was very comfortable and had everything you need. Welcome package was a lovely surprise / addition. Just a few minor things I would change / include: - recliners for the garden would be great - a shelf / area in the bathroom to put your wash bag / own belongings - there is a tiny shelf but this was more for display (eg a vase). - hooks / coat stand to hang your coats / outer-wear.

Could not fault the property it was a lovely cottage in a beautiful place Well equipped and handy for the beach cafe and beach Would definitely return

A lovely cottage, with good quality furniture, although lounge area is ready for an update.

Hostess, who lives next door, was friendly. The location was AMAZING. Parking is not guaranteed outside cottage but not a problem as on street parking is available in various locations around the village. Highly recommend The Shack near beach, pizza night should not be missed.

A modern, well equipped, spacious cottage for three, on walking distance of the beach.

A place to come back to. Highly recommended!

Rally nice place 100% recommended

This is the second time we have stayed in this cottage.

It has a very comfortable bed and a brilliant shower! We love this village with its fabulous beach, great beach bar and really excellent Victoria Inn. It’s a great place to explore the south coast of Cornwall which is stunning.

Very well equipped cottage, surprisingly roomy inside, comfortable beds and a powerful shower, an excellent base for exploring the area and a beautiful local beach a 5 minute walk away.

Absolutely loved our week here at Kernyk, the welcome pack waiting for us when we arrived was a lovely touch and very appreciated.

Fantastic cottage.

Very well equipped. Perfect location for exploring this part of the country. We had a very nice roast dinner at the local pub 100 m away.

I loved it there everything was lovely

As always, a delightful place to stay.

I will return.

We had a wonderful Christmas stay at Kernyk.

Its a perfect location close to the beach and very peaceful. It was well equipped with everything we needed, spotlessly clean, great shower and comfy beds. Wine, and other gifts on arrival were such a great touch and very much appreciated. Thank you, and we hope to return.

I am a long standing user of Kernyk, and it did not disappoint.

Only one downside, for the first time ever, I was not always able to park in the usual spot opposite the cottage.

Fantastic quiet village location - perfect for a beach holiday as only a short walk to a lovely beach.

On the whole the terraced house was all you need for 1 week away, however the cleanliness in the cottage was very disappointing especially as everything should be 'cleaner than clean': Kitchen work surfaces were dirty and 'sticky', washing up bowl had red food grease on it, mugs in the cupboard weren't clean. The tablecloth covering the kitchen table was so dirty it took a few goes to remove the dirt from it. (Nice start to a holiday - thanks!) The bathroom floor had quite a few black hairs on it (along the skirting) and they weren't ours The loo roll holder was rusty and the loo brush handle was grimy (yuk!) Bathroom walls/ceiling in the shower had black mould Cottage smelt damp (I realise it's an old building but this needs addressing as some people are allergic to mould and the air freshener used to mask the smell was a tad over-powering). Bed linen for the single bed didn't fit (it was too big, so could I suggest you use a small single bed mattress cover instead then it would be more comfortable for guests). The carpet is nasty & cheap and they haven't even bothered with underlay upstairs, so it's very hard underfoot too. Beds are very hard (great if you like a hard/super firm mattress though) For the extortionate price we paid for 1 week, I'd expect better. Towels were lovely and soft/fluffy (although one had weird crusty brown marks on which didn't come out in the wash) and the white bed linen was nice too. There's loads of kitchen utensils in every cupboard and drawer including 2 x cafetières, but only 1 small cupboard for your food, but there's 2 cafe's in the village & 1 pub - all serving great food! To end on a positive note though, the village is gorgeous and the location of this property is fabulous.

Very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely little house.

Comfortable and well positioned for beach, beach cafe, coast walks and pub! Has a garden and seating area outside too. What more could you want! Great little village and stretch of coast that we didn’t know. Would love to return and explore some more.
