“Exactly as described although the double bed was not very comfortable as it's a mattress on a platform frame and the quality of pillows was poor.”

There is no airflow in the smallest bedroom so a fan would have been nice. It was rather warm in all of the rooms and the bedroom doors do not stay open without propping them with a nightstand. I realize not many places offer 3 bedrooms but in this case I think sacrificing a living room for a bedroom might have been a mistake. The kitchen was spotless and the washing machine appreciated.

There is no airflow in the smallest bedroom so a fan would have been nice. It was rather warm in all of the rooms and the bedroom doors do not stay open without propping them with a nightstand. I realize not many places offer 3 bedrooms but in this case I think sacrificing a living room for a bedroom might have been a mistake. The kitchen was spotless and the washing machine appreciated. The snacks on the table were a nice touch, thank you. The showers had great water pressure and hot water. The lights are on motion sensors and they go off after a few minutes so you are suddenly plunged into darkness while you're in the shower. Fortunately it was easy to trigger the lights back on just by trying to open the shower door but the first time it happened was rather disconcerting. I take relatively quick showers, 10 min tops, and the lights went off 3 times. Nowhere is it posted that the lights are on sensors or the timing of staying on or a way to override while you're showering. The lights in the main areas are also all on motion sensors which is convenient except the smallest bedroom had the lights filtering in from the seating area that take forever to turn off. It is rather conveniently located to one of the main streets and the Aldi grocery store. Fortunately it was an easy walk from the train station at 11:30 at night, although Wellington Rd had some poorly lit areas. It's also an easy walk to the bus station. I never received any communication from the owners about our late arrival nor whether they had suggestions on where to store our luggage after checkout as we still had a full day of visiting. They did not respond to messages via VRBO and the Sykes Cottage always gave me an error message on the "contact the owner" page so that was very frustrating. The sign on the back of the smallest bedroom door talked about the COVID-19 protocols. They mention putting the bed linens in the provided red bags that where nowhere to be found. Also mentioned not walking on the carpets with shoes on which should be posted at the entrance, not behind the bedroom doors. Overall, it mostly suited our purpose and while it did explicitly state there was no living room area, sitting around the kitchen bench for social time isn't very comfortable. Would I stay here again? Maybe but only if I didn't have 6 adults. Would I recommend it? Only for smaller parties, at most the 2 big bedrooms. Maybe kids could sleep in the double bed. Also, a pillow upgrade is sorely needed. The pictures of the beach are rather deceiving as you're not actually on the beach but 40 min away by bus.

“Fantasic cottage, only thing to recommend is firstly maybe a non slip shower mat for cubicles.”

Secondly although we looked we couldn’t find a teapot anywhere, so it was one cup at a time. But as already stated loved. Found it ideal to do the Branch lines of Cornwall. Will definitely use again.

“If a frozen house is what you are looking for, this is a perfect house for you.”

We arrived at Saturday night and the central heating was on for a couple of hours. Then, it was switched off and there is no way to control it from the house. Only the manager and the owner can control it. So I had to call the agency tree time. At the end, we had only one evening and one morning warm on five. So bring a good sleeping bag and a good coat and you will be fine. When asked Sykes holidays cottage a compensation, they replayed that was not their business because the contract was between me and the owner. Pity that I don’t know who he is, I don’t have is number and I paid Sykes holidays cottage the fuul amount. So they just took money and left me in a mess. Good luck

Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear of the issue you had with the heating, the heating is on a sensor, keeping Teylu at a comfortable temperature, once we were aware you would like it warmer we felt we had addressed this. We have taken your point on board and will endeavour to look in to this. Property Owner

“We were extremely surprised with how beautiful this place was.”

We booked it for a little holiday for all our family (and dog) to be together. And it was perfect. The bedrooms were amazing and the kitchen too ! Had everything you needed . We loved having our family all together in this lovely home . Thank you

Thank you for your feedback, Rebecca. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Teylu! Property Owner

“Living space is not the best as the seating area is cramped and not easily accessible for an elderly person and very uncomfortable to relax in, forcing everyone to relax in separate rooms , which is not the point of a family holiday.”

The cleaning was of a very poor standard, smeary mirrors, induction hob, window ledges filthy, cooker hood grimey. I had to remove the filter out of the shower that was disgusting , full of hair blocking the water flow. The bathroom sensors are dangerous if you are having a shower, plunging you into darkness when trying to shower and not being able to see how to get out which is a health and safety risk.

- Debbie, August 2023

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback for your stay at Teylu. We are sorry to hear the cleaning wasn't up to standard, this has been fed back to our housekeeping team and we will look into your comments regarding the comfort of the living space and bathroom sensors. Property Owner

“Bed linen was flat and bobbly, beds did not wave waterproof mattress protectors, x2 mattress stained that appeared to have blood?”

Master bedroom bathroom was not clean (dirty on entry to shower/ around plug in sink) horrible smell this seemed to spill over to the bedroom, Iron board ripped. Parking is tricky to navigate with huge concrete lump in the way and old steps from entry to drive, these need removing asap dangerous. Advised as dog friendly, but had to cross road to let the dog out to the toilet. No area for dog to go out or toilet on site. I have images if required

- Andrew, July 2023

Thank you for providing feedback for Teylu, your comments regarding the cleanliness were fed back to our housekeeping team and the appropriate action taken. We will investigate the parking area and rectify any issues. Property Owner

“Beautiful cottage .”

. we only encountered 2 problems … the bed in the double room .. we had to switch the divan base around as the top part by the headboard was broke .. we had to replace batteries in 1 lock, and one of the key code locks was broken ( which we fixed) so it now works .. but other than that the cottage was lovely..

- Jessica, July 2023

Thank you for taking the time to send your feedback, we are delighted to hear your enjoyed your stay overall and endeavour to look into your comments regarding the bed. Property Owner

“Clean, with all the amenities you would need for a very comfortable stay.”

Ideal location for both shops/restaurants which are a short walk/drive away plus Camborne is close to the main roads for traveling further afield in Cornwal. We had a really enjoyable stay, thank you!

- Carol, May 2023

Hi Carol, We are so glad to hear that you were happy with your accommodation. We hope to welcome you back to Cornwall soon :) Property Owner

“Beautiful clean accommodation with lovely warm welcoming gifts.”

However, I think the apartment really misses a comfortable seating area. The table in the entrance is not ideal to sit at for too long even if you don't have a back problem. Therefore, this means sitting on the beds which again are in need of new mattresses in particular the bedroom where the kitchen seating is located. You can feel every spring and after the uncomfortable seating area in kitchen we ended up with bad backs ☹️

- Joanne, July 2022

Good afternoon, We would like to thank you very much for staying with us and taking the time out to review your stay. its so nice to hear that you liked you stay with us and the gifts we left for you. Unfortunately given the layout of the building we are not able to facilitate a full living room however we are currently reviewing how we can make this area more comfortable. We hope to see you again soon and hopefully you will be able to see any changes which are made based upon your appreciated constructive criticism. All the best. Property Owner

“The middle bedroom stank , the carpet had got soaked, from a flood I would guess.”

Got better as it dried out by the end of the holiday. Could do with a better mattress in the 1st bedroom, could feel the springs not comfortable for my disabled brother. Everything else was top notch and was value for money paid.
