“It was a lovely cosy clean little cottage.”

Location was perfect, great for two people romantic getaway, it has everything you need. Nice touches with the milk and biscuits when we arrived. But, just like the comments all the way back in 2018, this place lacks TLC. The shower is indeed very useless for any woman washing their hair. If you're here for a full week, it gets tiresome how long it takes to wash half your body. Bath isn't as slippy as people said. The DVD does not work, and haven't worked since 2018!!! They need to take it off ...

They need to take it off as part of their advert as it can be very misleading!!! if it's one of the things you enjoy to do as a couple/family is to watch movies, then this place is not for you! Also no phone signal!!! So good luck entertaining yourself if youre here for a whole week or more!!! The pillows were also very old and thin and not very good for the neck. I'd recommend bringing your own for a good night sleep,but bed itself was comfy enough. Its frustrating because this place would have been 10/10 if it wasn't for the little but important touches that made the massive difference to our stay.

“Comfortable but disappointing We stayed at Church View for a few nights as we wanted to extend our stay in Cornwall.”

While it was a comfortable base and the cottage had a lot of potential, we found it a disappointing experience. Basic things such as hand wash or soap, had not been left for us, although milk and biscuits had which was a nice touch. We noted the bathroom shower, which to be honest is the most pointless thing ever - it’s worse than showering in the rain as it’s just a drip that comes out. Would recommend using the bath instead. I half debated about even mentioning it because upon closer inspection, people have for two years and it’s still not been addressed, which makes me think the owners aren’t really bothered as long as it’s being rented, which is a shame as it is such a cosy cottage. The bathroom was also quite dirty when we got there - the bath in particular had quite a few hairs which were not ours on the tiles and paint is peeling off the walls too. We also ran out of toilet roll, which isn’t a problem but usually we would expect extra rolls to be included, just in case. A water filter would also be beneficial because the water was cloudy when coming straight from the tap. The bed was comfortable and the lounge was very cosy with the heater on. This cottage has so much potential, we just feel it needs a little TLC to make it a bit more special. Just a note for light sleepers, the road that runs by the cottage is quite loud, more so from around 6am, but it is in a great location to explore the charms of Cornwall.

Thank you taking the time to send your feedback regarding your stay. We are aware of the issues with the shower and this is in hand and will be dealt with before the next booking. The property is self catering and so limited basics are only supplied. We are disappointed that you did not contact us with regards to any other issues as we could have dealt with these swiftly. Once again thank you for your feedback and we do hope you will book with us again in the future. Owner relations

“Disappointed that the DVD player still didn't work.”

(It didn't work last time we were here in 2018)

“The cottage was comfortable and a in a great position for touring.”

The little close is extremely peaceful. We heard no noise whatsoever the whole time we were there. It was slightly let down by the shower which so many others have commented about: this works at a trickle from off the bath taps. We noted in the visitors book that many had pointed this out. Additionally, there had been several comments about a shower mat for the bath to avoid slips. There wasn't one. Further comments mentioned the lack of washing up liquid, scouring pads for pots and pans and a very ungenerous allowance of toilet paper. The DVD player had been broken for many months if the visitors book is correct. All very minor points and, apart from the shower itself, fairly easy to remedy. But well worth a visit.

“Amazing property, central for touring around Shower pressure wasn’t great but we muddled through and a shower mat would be helpful as can be quite slippery in the bath.”

Would definitely rebook this property again for a getaway.

“Good accommodation in nice grounds.”

Good spot for seeing local resorts. Could do with possibly giving more info on the local attractions and possible eating and drinking establishments but overall very good

“On Saturday when we arrived and opened the door we noticed a feisty smell in the cottage and I noticed at the bottom of the stone walls it was damp when I rang Helen Edwards property manager and told her about this she told me most The cottages in the court yard have damp And to complain to Sykes.”

On Monday I rang Sykes about The damp smell and very little cold water in the bathroom and Within 2 hours it was fix . I am so glade it was warm so we could leave the windows open to get rid of the damp smell. I don’t like leaving feedback but when you book a cottage holiday you should be Able to see these problems on the description

“Not as expected.”

This is in a lovely location but there is a busy road that goes straight past which you would'nt expect, and a beautiful perranporth beach is just 10 minutes drive away and there lovely little town, there is a pub/hotel straight across the road which does lovely food, but as for church view cottage the shower is useless you can not have a proper shower i could not even wash my hair in there was no pressure and we had to buy a shower mat as it was very slippy, considering this is a surfing area you need a good shower, towels and bedding were provided and the towels were damp, dirty and had grass on them, bedding was mismatched and covered in balls of fluff and dirty marks on pillow cases, so we also had to buy towels and some bedding to feel comfortable, there was dirty sticky toaster,tea, coffee tins where dusty/dirty , i would also say anyone booking this area of the church view cottages is not for the young as everyone in these cottages where late 60's / 70's and as we where not allowed to take dogs everyone else had 1 or 2 dogs . but good points great places to visit around perranporth beach amazing, truro lovely and a beautiful cathedral , and St Ives is so lovely everything you could want places to eat, nice little shops, a working pier and lovely little church we visited but i would say it's best to get the park and ride train Leland salting station £2.80p park and train was only £5.65p for 2 with our 2 together rail card. Lands end great day out and walks £6 park but we were told you can return with it for up to 7 days.

About the location

PERRANPORTH

Newquay 9 miles; Truro 9.5 miles.

Perranporth, a beautiful Cornish coastal town, lies in the heart of Poldark Country, the setting for the novels of Winston Graham who lived in Perranporth in the 1930s. Perranporth offers plenty of traditional pubs and shops, plus a classic bucket-and-spade beach that is lifeguarded in summer, overlooked by craggy rocks and a wonderful coastal path. Once known as the source of the finest tin, the community still retains reminders of the rich heritage with abandoned pump houses, mine shafts and workers’ cottages. The local Blue Hills Museum and Perranzabuloe Folk Museum are both well worth a visit to understand the fascinating history of this coastal area. Further afield are the miles of sandy beaches at Crantock and Holywell Bay, and the breathtaking coastal walks around St Agnes, much of it owned by the National Trust. A perfect holiday base in Cornwall, with an abundance of activities to suit everyone.

Note: Internal doors are slightly narrower than standard ranging from 69cm-76cm.
