There are also lovely views of the sea, the morning sunrise is a treat at this time of year, with some of the trees between the apartment and the sea having shed their leaves there is more of the sea to see! We were rather unlucky during our stay in that the road that runs alongside the apartment was being resurfaced which meant that our cars were trapped behind the road works for literally hours at a time. We couldn’t risk leaving it until the final morning to start our journeys home so we had to leave early unfortunately. When I was about to leave and pulled my car out of the garage I got in trouble with a local resident for choosing to pack the boot of my car outside the garage (it was dark in the garage). I also picked up a few annoyed comments from some of the local residents during our stay, I’m not sure whether they were irritated by tourists staying into the winter or whether they were simply exasperated by the disruption caused by the road resurfacing works. Our cars were appropriately tucked away at all times apart from when we first arrived and when we finally left, and as is always the case when we stay at Sykes Cottages were we very considerate to our neighbours. The unfortunate circumstances of the days in which we stayed aside, I would recommend this apartment as it is very thoughtfully decorated, furnished and fitted out, it is very suitable for two friends, and the cleaners clearly do a very good job, thank you.

“This has everything you will need and is wonderfully stocked with good quality kitchen utensils and crockery and cutlery.”

The furniture is Laura Ashley and it is absolutely immaculate. You feel like you’d love to live there. All you need are your clothes and food. It’s warm and comfortable. The beds are superb. The owner is so lovely and replies asap if you need to make contact.

Derek August 2023

“This is our second time at 28 clock tower and it didn’t disappoint us.”

The apartment is of ideal location with so many places nearby to visit. The apartment itself is just lovely, its clean and comfortable and we enjoy staying there so much. It has everything that you need, if not more. Duporth beach that is just a short distance makes the apartment extra special as some mornings we had it all to ourselves. Another fabulous stay, we’ve already booked for next year .

- Derek, August 2023

Rosemarie July 2023

“28 Clock Tower was a delight to stay in, very well equipped property, even down to games & dvd's.”

Communication with Natasha,the Host, was always good, even updated Natasha regarding the dvd player which was faulty, always nice to have a back up when the weather changes in Cornwall. Would happily re book to stay here again.

- Rosemarie, July 2023
Jo June 2023

“Perfect holiday apartment.”

Great location with a short walk down to the beach or along the cliff path to Charlestown. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped, we particularly appreciated the quantity of glasses and mugs so we didn't need to keep washing up! We really enjoyed opening the bifold doors to the balcony and looking at the view. We had 2 cars but had no problem parking the second car on the road right by the apartment building.

- Jo, June 2023
Trevor May 2023

“We would suggest you recommend taking a pint of milk as after a 4 hour journey all we wanted was a cup of tea.”

We have stayed at numerous self catering properties where milk at least is in the fridge. We appreciate the owners are not on site but perhaps the cleaners remit could include this or directions to the nearest convenience shop We only found superstores in St Austell to be the nearest?

- Trevor, May 2023
Robert May 2023

“Good location, Loads of room, Very well equipped, Spotless, very quiet area and garage parking as well.”

Derek August 2022

“This is a lovely apartment, it is so comfortable and clean.”

It is the first place I have ever gone to and booked again whilst I’m on holiday. It has everything you need and more. It is in an ideal location which makes it easy to get to local activities and travelling about I’d definitely recommend this property and I’ll definitely be booking to go again after I’ve been next year. I was so sad to go home

- Derek, August 2022
John July 2022

“The property was exceptional, clean, very comfortable and spacious.”

The facilities were great, and to have the manuals for the appliances is such a great idea. We're already planning to return in the future.

Andreas July 2022

“Lovely”

- Andreas, July 2022
David July 2022

- David, July 2022
Chris June 2022

“Excellent property in a really top location.”

It was clean and fresh with all the mod cons you could need. Very highly recommended.

- Chris, June 2022
Bridget June 2022

“Absolutely lovely apartment, spotlessly clean and as for the equipment in the kitchen, only once before have I rented holiday accommodation anywhere that catered for all our needs and of the best quality throughout.”

Sometimes when you have booked a property it looks great on paper but when you arrive it’s tired but NOT this property . Excellent Communication with the owners and clear instructions about the property. This was our first holiday in 3 years due to COVID (we are of a certain age) and it was a pleasure to return each evening from our excursions.Due to unexpected circumstances we sadly had to leave Cornwall 3 days early but I would not hesitate to recommend this property and we hope to come again.

- Bridget, June 2022
Coral May 2022

“Lovely spacious property, well equipped, clean and comfortable.”

Good location for visiting places of interest by car but also a quiet peaceful stay with coastal walking available from property. Tea coffee and sugar all available but a pint of milk in fridge would have been appreciated for the first quick cuppa. Garage a tight squeeze for VW golf but plenty parking on road.

- Coral, May 2022
Allan April 2022

“Excellent property, as always.”

Suzanne November 2021

“Fantastic apartment, every thing you need for your stay.”

- Suzanne, November 2021
Alison October 2021

“Lovely place to stay - great views and the secure garage was a real bonus.”

Opening the bi-fold doors to that lovely view each morning was wonderful. We didn't need to leave the apartment!

- Alison, October 2021
Martin September 2021

“Have stayed here before so already knew how fabulous the place is.”

The elevator failed on day 4 which wasnt a problem for us but I can see it might be a problem for others. It wasnt fixed by day 7 when we left. It also failed during our stay last year so this may need attention. Apart from that cant recommend it enough. The garage is a nice convenience to dry wet brollies or other outdoor clothing. 10/10

- Martin, September 2021
Moira July 2021

“Great apartment and very pleased with the facilities and resources made available.”

Private (residents) access to beach a real bonus.

- Moira, July 2021
Trudy June 2021

“This is a very modern, well equipped, clean, spacious and comfortable apartment.”

The garage is huge and there is enough space for another car to park in front of the garage. It has a sea view and is located in a fabulous quiet location within walking distance of Charlestown where there are lots of places to eat good quality food. There is also a beach which is only accessible to residents which was very quiet. Tesco and Lidl are a very short drive away so easy to obtain supplies. Also close to the Eden Project and other local attractions and coastal walks. The walk back from Charlestown and the beach is quite steep. Would highly recommend this property..

- Trudy, June 2021
Jody October 2020

“Fabulous apartment - spotlessly clean and well equipped.”

A great position to explore from.

- Jody, October 2020
Martin October 2020

“Very well appointed.”

This is the third property we have stayed in at clock tower court but this is the best. The most space, the best views and the best quality equipment in the flat. Even the mugs and cutlery are high quality. This makes the place feel more special. The garage is a nice convenience as it’s massive but I can see some people wouldn’t like the tight reverse through the garage door opening. There’s lots of easy street parking so I don’t think it’s a negative. Also worth mentioning is the whole place was cleaned and disinfected to a very high standard. I expected to re clean at least some of the property but this wasn’t necessary. Top marks to the cleaning crew.

- Martin, October 2020
Tracy September 2020

“Everything was brilliant would visit again.”

- Tracy, September 2020
Marianne August 2020

“This was a second stay here and we loved it as much as the first time.”

Hopefully there will be a third time. It's a great apartment. Home from home really.

- Marianne, August 2020
Jackie August 2020

“Stunning, we have been visiting Cornwall for many years and I have to say this has been my number one accommodation.”

The owners have not spared the expense of top quality furnishings, fittings and have everything you need in the kitchen. I have never felt so relaxed on any holiday home or abroad. The private beach is clean and we had no problems with social distancing, we even found a small waterfall (be warned it’s a steep slope down but worth it) I will definitely be booking again and recommend to friends and family and for people who find stairs difficult there is a lift!

- Jackie, August 2020
Sally June 2019

“This is a beautiful apartment with everything we could wish for a relaxing and comfortable holiday.”

It is very well appointed and tastefully furnished, the bi-fold doors and French door in the main bedroom were much appreciated as it was a very warm week. It is ideally situated for visiting the Eden Project and the Lost Garden of Heligan and other National Trust gardens. This is our second visit and we will definitely be back.

- Sally, June 2019
Michael June 2019

“A very well equipped and comfortable apartment in a delightful position.”

Being on the top floor the benefit of a lift was much appreciated at all times adding to the attraction of the apartment. Charlestown being just a short walk away and having a number of eateries to choose from made dining out a car-free pleasure. Extensive building work is going on opposite although in fairness we had been warned of this by the owners and have to say that it did not affect our enjoyment of the holiday though we suspect some people could find the constant workmen activity and number of cars parked on the road a problem finding somewhere to park themselves if they were unable to put their vehicle in the garage which has a very narrow access. Some previous holidaymaker had bent the garage door key making it difficult to use, in fact whilst we were still able to use the garage to park the car we did not lock the door after we had opened it on arrival as we were concerned about unlocking it to get our car out! Access to the beach and the South West Coast Path was good and directions received from the owners could not be faulted. All in all the pluses far outweighed the minuses and we would certainly consider booking again and recommending it to friends.

- Michael, June 2019
Mo June 2019

“Sadly the weather was somewhat 'inclement' but no-one has control over that!”

It was nice to know we had somewhere clean and comfortable to return to at the end of the day.The accommodation was excellent. Everything we needed - even a garage to put the car in! The balcony was a real bonus as when the sun did break out it was lovely to have an outside space to sit out. Quiet too. There was building work going on on the other side of the apartment building but I can't say that it bothered us at all except that the roads were a little congested with the works vans but having the garage meant that there was no problem with parking. Restaurants and eating places in Charlestown were excellent - particularly the Pier Head Hotel - wonderful service. Good location to visit lots of the popular sights around Cornwall. Unfortunately no small shop for emergencies so it was a short car journey to Tesco, Asda or Lidl. Weather aside, everything else was excellent.

- Mo, June 2019
Kim April 2019

“This apartment is lovely with beautiful views of the sea.”

It only has a couple of very minor issues which is why it is not the super smiley face for facilities. In the main bedroom it could do with much thicker curtains as the courtyard is brightly lit at night and so therefore is your bedroom. The second is the washer/dryer is not very good and really needs replacing and the third and last is that the owners have provided lovely plates, glasses and cutlery and then let it down with cheap plastic cooking utensils. Everything else in the apartment is spotlessly clean, bright and airy. The apartment is much bigger than I thought from the photos so that was a very pleasant surprise. There is some building work going on across the way but that did not disturb us in fact it was a lovely distraction for the grown up boys. We had a lovely week and I would not hesitate to recommend.

- Kim, April 2019
John April 2019

“We were never told that the apartment was immediately opposite a major building site.”

The noise from the working was very unfortunate, especially as they started at 7am every day. We would have loved a lie in on at least one of the days, but no. The noise was too great - apart from the Sunday. We also noticed that other guests had experienced the same problem as they wrote so in the visitors book. Apartment would have been great if if wasn't for this. Everything else worked well.

- John, April 2019
Mark March 2019

“On many self catering holidays, you discover that something is missing.”

Ian and Natasha provided everything sensibly possible! I do hope that nobody abuses this in future. Everything was clean and operational. We loved the views and the quietness at night.

- Mark, March 2019
Elaine October 2018

“We loved our stay at Clock Tower Court, the apartment is exactly like the photographs on the website.”

The furnishing are lovely. The kitchen appliances were ultra quiet and everything you could need was in the kitchen if you wanted to cook. We lovely our stay in Duporth and will definitely go back.

- Elaine, October 2018
A October 2018

“The apartment was central to all the interesting places in Cornwall.”

The lovely quiet beach is a short walk from the apartment. All in all we would give the holiday 101 out of 100.

Karen August 2018

“An exceptional apartment and fabulous location.”

A real home from home. We will definitely revisit.

- Karen, August 2018
Sally June 2018

“28 Clocktower Court is a luxurious apartment, tastefully furnished and with every possible comfort, the owners have thought of everything.”

This is by far the best property we have stayed in, we were so impressed we have already booked for next year. As it was so hot the bi-fold doors in the living room and French door in the double bedroom a wonderful feature helping to keep us cool. A lovely holiday in a brilliant apartment.

- Sally, June 2018

- Wendy, January 2017
Peter October 2016

“My holiday was as stress free as anyone could expect.”

The location was ideal for my aim of enjoying a week of relaxation and some outdoor activity, with my wife readily pulling on her walking shoes. Being just off the South West Coast Path, this was perfect for walks to both eastward and westward locations. If we had wanted an easy outdoor day, there was the opportunity of a stroll on the private beach, just 5 minutes walk from the apartment. The weather, also, played a part with my intention to photograph parts of the area, enjoying relative warmth in the early November sun. After a full day walking / photography it was good to settle down in the apartment, relaxing after dinner then reviewing the images taken during the day. With the benefit of a washer/dryer the clothes could be clean and dry with minimal fuss, ready for another day. After a week, Saturday morning saw the car packed for the journey home, taking with us many wonderful memories.

- Peter, October 2016
Pauline October 2016

“Choosing the ideal accommodation is always the hardest part when arranging a holiday in an area you do not know.”

Sykes majes it easier because of their clear concise website. After booking they keet in touch and help you plan in advance to make your journey and arrival straightforward. The accommodation was exactly as described. All this contributed to a perfect relaxing holiday without any snags.

- Pauline, October 2016

Simon July 2016

“This was the best cottage and location we have had so far with Sykes.”

It was of an extremely high standard and immaculate. It was complimented by the private beach and until the very last day was so quiet it was unbelievable.

- Simon, July 2016
Anthony July 2016

“What a hidden gem, it is so close to all of Cornwall and was very quiet.”

The beach was fantastic.

- Anthony, July 2016
Sandra June 2016

“The accommodation was first class and we very much felt home from home.”

The sea views were amazing to wake up to every day and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a beautiful apartment by the sea.Thank you to the owners for letting us stop in such wonderful surroundings for our week of touring Cornwall.

- Sandra, June 2016
Pauline April 2016

“Our holiday in this apartment was brilliant, everything was top notch.”

In fact I would go as far as to say that this is the best accommodation we have stayed in. It was cleaned to a very high standard and all the bedding and towels were of excellent quality. The furnishings were modern but very comfortable and the beds were divine, especially the super king. The kitchen area was lovely and had every utensil imaginable. We will definitely go back and highly recommend this apartment.
