Amazing holiday lovely cottage in glorious and pretty village, we love it.

“Spotlessly clean,cosy warm,cottage friendly owners,stones throw to brilliant friendly pub,what more could you ask for.”
Mr Hawkes October 2019

“We found the apartment to be located in a beautiful setting.”

It was comfortable and welcoming, with everything needed for our stay... including welcoming milk and local cake! The village of Mithian is lovely. The pub, the Miners Arms came highly recommended, and was wonderful. oh, how I wish we had a gem of a pub like this at home! This property’s location makes it a fabulous base for visiting all that’s on offer in beautiful Cornwall. Even the furthest away was only about an hours drive. We had a wonderful two weeks break. The rain did not deter us! Cornish pasties deserve their protected status. Many thanks Sykes. The Secret Garden was a great success!
Mrs Armstead October 2019

“The cottage was dated with old fashioned furniture, very damp, the dehumidifier was on constantly and needed to be emptied.”

There was condensation everywhere and the place smelt musty and affected your clothing. Hot water took ages to come through, water pressure for the shower was poor. The wifi signal was erratic. Every room had a continual appearance of woodlice. Your photos of the cottage were very misleading with regards to the layout and appearance of the property. We were disappointed with the cottage.

Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback, we are sorry you did not enjoy your stay as you should have. We are a little surprised at your comments as previous customers have been very positive giving 10/10 and top scores with regards to the areas you mention; cleanliness and comfort. Following your review we arranged to visit and inspect the property and having done so would confirm that we found it to be in good order throughout, with no evidence of either damp or condensation. We would always recommend in future if you have any problems to let us know at the time as we and the owners would have done our utmost to assist. Finally, we would like to reassure other visitors that the photographs displayed are up to date and accurate. Should anyone have any further queries, please don't hesitate to ask us. Owner relations

“Relaxing stay”

The accommodation was lovely. Mentioned in previous reviews on arrival, selection of tea and coffees / homemade cake/ fresh milk and flowers. We were made to feel very welcome from Serena & Jim. Home from home really. Great location with beautiful views over looking the valley. Local pub do great food and very friendly and only 5 minutes walk away. We have booked again for next year we loved it that much excited to explore more of Cornwall.
Mr Hichens September 2019

“**** and **** were most helpful, telling us best local routes etc.”

Nearby pub Miners Arms was a 5 minute walk away, with good friendly service.

We are thrilled to hear that your enjoyed your stay at Secret Garden. We have removed the names of the owners for security reasons. Owner relations

Mrs Malsingh August 2019

Great facilities in the garden so we could eat outside.
Mrs Thorpe June 2019

Beware the fruit loaf - will cause family arguments!
Mr Baines March 2019

“The peace and quiet,the perfect location,the lovely view but most of all the superb apartment.”

We think you might say we loved The Secret Garden.

“Perfect.”

Such a fabulous place to stay. This apartment is well appointed, warm and comfortable with beautiful views across the valley. With easy access to many beaches, cycle trails and coastal walks and the added advantage of a lovely countryside pub only 5 mins walk away it could not be more perfect. Our hosts, Jim and Serena were very welcoming and will ensure a wonderful stay. Looking forward to our next visit.
Mr Hoath October 2018

“The accommodation was very comfortable and clean with everything you would need, even down to a dishwasher and washing machine.”

The apartment did smell musty, maybe due to it being a converted old chapel. The owners did provide a dehumidifier and we bought an air freshener but we were hardly there for it to be a problem. The area was very quiet, overlooking the countryside, within walking distance to a local pub and small shop only. Lots of footpaths around if you are a walker but within travelling distance by car to some lovely places of interest. The owners provided a starter pack of tea, coffee, milk and a homemade cake which was most welcomed after a long journey.

Thank you for your positive comments. What a shame that you didn't tell us of your concerns regarding any smell during your stay. We are always ready to address any issues and find remedies where possible. In our opinion, any perception of a musty smell would have been more likely caused by the extremely heavy rain and strong winds from Storm Callum that unfortunately coincided with the first part of your holiday here. Only the external walls of the Chapel remain, all internal walls and fixtures are modern. Owner relations
Mr Lawrence September 2018

“This was a very well equipped and welll furnished holiday flat with the friendly and helpful owners resident in the same building.”

The house was siuated in a rural private road and therefore peaceful and free of traffic.Our stay was very enjoyable. We had no difficulty in finding the property; your directions were spot on.
Mr Dodge August 2018

“Fantastic place to stay lovely and clean and had everything you needed.”

Beautiful view from patio with easy access to all beaches .Great pub just 3 minutes down the lane with good food and they were happy to do us takeaway if we wanted it would definitely stay again.
Mrs Melia July 2018

“Fourth visit to this wonderful place and hopefully not the last.”

Everything clean, comfortable and all you need for a fabulous holiday is there on your doorstep. All the little added extras make it even more special.
Mr Brown May 2018

“Very peaceful.”

A place this recharges your battery in the busyness of life. Local attractions like St. Agnes were outstanding
Mrs Tolkin May 2018

“The cottage was in an excellent location with a very friendly village pub just a 10 minute walk away.”

Could get on the coastal path very easily. Comfortable and very clean cottage with all amenities. Lovely touch of homemade cake, tea/coffee milk to welcome us. No trouble for the owner that we'd been stuck in traffic and arrived later than planned. All in all a superb holiday.
AnnM06022011 May 2018

“Beautiful, Peaceful, Perfect.”

Couldn't fault this excellent apartment. Located about a 3 minute walk from Mithian which is close to St Agnes. Our delightful hosts Serena and Jim were so helpful and on hand to give advice. The apartment is exactly like the photographs. It has a sitting room with TV, double bedroom, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom,sofa bed, childs cot We were amazed at how much was provided. Home made cake, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, fresh milk, fruit, fresh flowers, toiletries, towels, an array of cleaning accoutrements, a dish washer and washing machine. There are beautiful walks by the coast and the local pub which serves nice food is 3 minutes away. There is a delightful deck with tables and chairs which has you sitting facing the sun and the quiet countryside...an oasis. Everything was spotlessly clean. There was tons of reading material about the area and there were lots of board games and films also. Highly recommend. Will we go back? Definitely YES.

“Our second home”

This was our seventh stay at Secret Garden and have never been disappointed. The accommodation is spacious, clean and well maintained. We find it very peaceful away from traffic noise, sitting on the veranda watching the birds feeding, it is ideally situated for lovely walks, beaches and a great pub down the road. Looking forward to our stay next year.
William O July 2017

“Lovely cottage in a nice location”

Had a great stay, well equipped and comfortable cottage. Peaceful setting, near to the coast, good pub in the village that serves food and has a little shop. Excellent base to explore the local attractions.

“Peaceful and comfortable cottage for two”

The fact that we come here regularly speaks for itself. comfortable, well-equipped cottage with lovely garden and views, with pub within walking distance, St Agnes with shops, beach and coastal walks a short drive away and easy access to the many attractions of the area.
RosieBath87 July 2017

“A lovely cottage for stay in Cornwall”

A great little place that is good value and close to some lovely beaches. Was a real treat to sit outside on garden patio in sunshine with a coffee and some breakfast to start the day. Flat is good sized for two people and kitchen is well equipped - we cooked properly one night for dinner as well as going out for meals. All in all a very comfortable stay and will hopefully be back soon.
