Coth Skyber

The cottage is very pleasant and situation near so many places of interest.

St Eirth is very nice village to stay. The accommodation had all the facilities required for our family of six, very good size Lounge, kitchen and bedrooms! For owners information: Shower door requires attention because water did leak if you did not lift door to close so Adjustment required . Plus it seems to be leaking at the side? Patio door squeaking and sticking!

Fabulous place to stay - has everything we needed.

The whole property was very clean and well looked after. The garden was lovely for a spot of sunbathing. Our dog loved staying there. Beaches, both on the north and south coast are easy and quick to get to. Although well within the village of St Earth, it was really quiet and the nighttime skies were incredible. With thanks. We will be back again.

This cottage is nestled in a quiet spot in a small village next to a RSPB gem.

The three bedrooms (we used two) are spacious. Beds comfy and very quiet. Surrounded by a lovely green garden, the house offers a haven. Close to the SouthWest Coastal Path, so much is at your doorstep. Take the train into St Ives (10 min) to avoid the hassle of parking in St Ives. I would book again. Owners are responsive if any problem (I ran into an issue with the ev charging but it was resolved.) Highly recommend.

From the first entrance all looks lovely, the kitchen is a bit dated & the equipment is too big n fact some is so old it’s like being back in the 80s but all worked okish!

The cottage is a decent size and takes a lot to actually feel warm inside, we had to have the fire on for some time to keep the front room heated first thing in the morning & in the evening. The bedrooms never felt warm especially the front right bedroom with the stone wall inlay! This room smells damp during the evening and you can see the damp on the stone wall too! I woke with damp on my pillow from that wall sadly. You’re not allowed to have the heating on other than the stated times which also doesn’t help with the damp. You have to leave the window open all day to clear the damp smell! The nice things about the stay are the garden! Absolutely lovely garden and nice to sit out in an evening! The cottage is clean and tidy and quite a big size and the cake was a nice touch! Two out of the four of our party have suffered from chest related illness during and since the holiday and it seems the damp definitely didn’t help!

recycling not very good and bath waste blocked, apart from those small problems excellent

Lovely cottage.

very comfortable beds. Spacious.

The best cottage we have ever stayed in for a holiday.

Honestly so lovely, full of character, clean, beautiful gardens and a lovely open main living area! Had literally everything you could think of that we would need as a family; cot, high chair, extras like windbreakers which actually came in super handy! We didn’t want to leave! Thank you

We absolutely loved our holiday at Coth Skyber.

We really appreciated the lovely cake we found on our arrival together with tea, coffee etc - a thoughtful touch - which was especially welcome after a long journey before we headed out to Asda in Hayle. The house is fabulous and in a great location. We take our mothers away each May and it's not always easy to find a property that suits us all, but we all found Coth Skyber to be ideal. Everyone thought the house was homely and well equipped with enough room to do our own thing if we wanted. It's welcoming and clean and the bedrooms are large with really comfortable beds. The only suggestion one of our party had was the option of a lighter duvet as they found theirs too warm. The kitchen has everything you think you might need and easily accommodated our group. The bathrooms are also great. The living room is huge with plenty of seating and good dining facilities. We also loved the garden and our only suggestion would be some seating at the front of the house - we appreciate that there's a bench by the back door, but being under a tree makes it a target for the birds above so we didn't use it. We also didn't use the small wooden bench by the living room windows as it is a little rickety but the deck chairs are a great idea. We visited the pub in the village with its excellent food on two occasions. The house is located in the heart of the village with easy access to everywhere we wanted to visit. We used to be local and so we found visiting family and friends ideal from St Erth and it's also easy to visit the Isles of Scilly, Marazion, Penzance, Hayle, St Ives, Morvah, all the local beaches which are dog friendly and Land's End. The house is also within easy reach of Helston, Falmouth, Perranporth, Truro, Newquay and the seal sanctuary at Gweek. We would all give Coth Skyber 5 stars and would highly recommend it as the perfect place to stay. Thank you.

A lovely cottage with everything we needed for our break.

Very convenient for the train to St Ives and other interesting places locally to visit.

Just perfect for a family get together where we were central to many Cornwall attractions.

The facilities were great and none of us had any complaints about the rooms, amenities, space, access, or convenience. The area is central and train access is convenient for any journeys. Thanks for your care and attention to detail.

This property is in a fantastic location, you can get to all places in that part of Cornwall very easily.

The property is very comfortable, clean and has everything you could want for a lovely stay. The garden is lovely. There is a local shop and pub. We will definitely consider booking this property again.

This is our 2nd stay at this cottage, and again really enjoyed it.

The cottage it’s self is very nice but needs a few updates ie: better mattresses on the beds as it gave us all back ache.. the lock on the front gate needs to be more secure as our lab got out and ended up by the pub, you only have push it and comes of the latch it looks like it’s broken. I would still recommend to stay there and probably would again in the future.. it’s situated in a lovely spot with walks on the doorstep and a pub few yards away that does lovely food and very friendly.

The house is beautiful but I found it very cold.

The room thermostat was so far up on the wall that I was unable to reach it. I telephoned the owner who said that it would be turned up remotely. There was a gas fire in the living room but I could not get it to ignite, believe me I tried over 20 times! There were a lot of windows without curtains which meant that I felt quite vulnerable. The only bedroom which had curtains did not have any heating. Regrettably, I cut my stay short by 24 hours.

Third stay at Coth Skyber and another lovely holiday, despite the weather not being that good.

Particularly impressed with the cleanliness throughout the property. Also liked the well maintained garden. Great positioning for both north and south coastlines - our lab loves the beaches at Hayle and Gwithian. We also had a couple of trips up to the Star and met some lovely people in there. We hope to be back again in the New Year.

We have had a lovely week staying in Coth Skyber.

We loved the garden both my children and dog spent a lot of time outside . The beds were very comfortable. We loved the kitchen and living room it had plenty of space to eat and relax. The bath tub was very nice to relax in after a day out. The location is perfect, we enjoyed going to the beach which was only a short drive away. I would recommend going to the pub just at the top of the road ,we had a nice lunch there and the portions were massive.

Really lovely property with everything you might need.

Very comfortable and well located. We all loved the new bathroom.

We enjoyed our holiday at Coth Skyber.

We would just like to say it would have been improved by smarter seating outside and perhaps a tidy up of the downstairs shower room. Also perhaps the gate to the street could be made easier. We are 2 ladies in our late seventy's and found it awkward to open and close. I am just being honest about our thoughts but we did have a lovely holiday and enjoyed the location. If we were to come back another year we would definitely consider this property again.

Everything was perfect as always hope to be back soon

Lovely house, we enjoyed our stay in St Erth and exploring the area.

The owner was so helpful it was easy to communicate and especially when I left something in the property!

Absolutely beautiful home.

Every home comfort and so peaceful. We loved every moment of our stay and didn't want to leave. Really appreciated the house being decorated for Christmas and the top notch cake on arrival. Super comfy beds and a gorgeous bathroom. Everyone in our party enjoyed their stay and that's no mean feat! Thanks again for a very much needed peaceful and relaxing holiday.

We had a wonderful week’s holiday (14/10/23 - 21/10/23), based at Coth Skyber, visiting a number of local beaches, with Ruby, our Labrador.

Coth Skyber was a lovely base and we very quickly felt it was like a ‘home from home’ for us. All the rooms were very well equipped and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed, and again very large. The utility room was great for sorting ourselves out when returning from trips, and the garden had plenty to explore for Ruby. We also really liked St Erth, and it was perfect for visits to north and south parts of south eastern Cornwall. Hayle and Gwithian beaches are idyllic for dogs and long bracing walks. The locals were all very friendly and we enjoyed several visits to the Star. We are planning to be back in Coth Skyber in April next year

A lovely cottage to stay in with plenty of space for everyone, it was a great location with easy access to St Ives (via the train), Gwithian & Hayle.

A visit to the Star Inn on Thursday evening for their quiz is definitely recommend as is the food! The new bathroom upstairs was a surprise (need to update photos) however the sink is a bit wobbly on the pedestal stand, perhaps making it somewhat unsafe? We also had a few dirty kitchen pots, pans & utensils which needed a thorough clean before they could be used but appreciate that this could be from previous clients to the cottage. Apart from those little ‘niggles’ it is a superb cottage & we would definitely recommend it & return another year! Thank you

Cottage location very good .

Plenty of room in cottage but needs updating , poor outside lighting , we had to use candles to sit outside at night. Beds could do with being a bit more comfortable. We struggled to sleep at night due to extreme hot weather , there were no fans in the house , plenty of heaters in the wardrobes though.. But we did enjoy our stay there and would recommend location.

Thank you for a wonderful place to enjoy our holiday!

The house was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed! The location is excellent- so close to the shop, pub, station and a short drive to beaches and tourist attractions. We would highly recommend Coth Skyber as a base for a holiday in Cornwall.

Lovely place very spacious hidden away cottage in a great location .

I would really appreciate if the owners could leave it me in there will

It was lovely and hot whilst we stayed at Coth Skyber, but the cottage was lovely and cool inside, so slept well.

Pleasant garden to sit and watch the birds, plenty of nearby walks and the beaches were a relatively short drive away.

Coth Skyber is a hidden gem in a brilliant location for exploring west Cornwall.

The cottage itself has everything you need for your holiday. The cottage is light and airy with a lovely garden perfect for children to play in while adults can watch on from the comfy living area. We were a group of two parents, two grandparents and two young children (3 &8) and we all said it was our favourite location to stay in this part of Cornwall having previously stayed in Porthleven, Marazion and Hayle. The branch line to St Ives being a 15 minute walk away is a massive bonus as is being able to drive to St Michael's Mount in a few minutes. We loved Hayle for the 3 amazing ice cream shops, but preferred the quietness of being able to relax I the quiet village. There are lovely local walks, particularly along the river Hayle towards the RSPB reserve. We can't wait to return!

Very comfortable cottage in an ideal location

Lovely spacious and quiet house.

Attractive gardens. Near the friendly village pub - the Star Inn. Tasty and good value Sunday lunch (need to book). We found parking difficult in our large vehicle, but the free village car park is only a step away. Convenient base for the area - it's close to the park and ride station for accessing St Ives and numerous other places in Cornwall.

We really enjoyed our stay at Coth Skyber.

The accommodation was lovely and clean. The rear car parking area was easily accessible, after working out the bolt, and key collection via key code from the box at the back door was easy. Very spacious rooms and cosy gas fire/central heating with access to manually adjust the temperature was great. Had a good nights sleep and enjoyed excellent weather all week. The best weather we've experienced in Cornwall, for a long time. Considering it was the beginning of February! Our dog enjoyed the garden and although we couldn't make full use of it, I'm sure if we visited at a different time of year we would. St Erth is a lovely little village which is very central and provides access to lots of different places within a short drive, Hayle, Helston, Penzance and St Ives. All in all it was a fabulous holiday.

Beautiful holiday home .

Very clean. Every facility provided . Lovely comfortable beds and spacious bedrooms . Beautiful bathroom. Large kitchen with all facilities including dishwasher. Utility with washer, microwave and sink and large fridge freezer. Beautiful setting and garden . Plenty of parking facilities . Beautiful home . St Erth is a beautiful place too . We didn’t want to leave . Slight thing could do with some lighting outside near the front gate and down the long drive . Really dark on winter evenings .

This is the second time we have stayed at this beautiful house Coth Skyber, the rooms are nice and big, but have a cosy feel about them, we slept very well each night, and loved sitting on the bench outside each morning, enjoying the lovely garden while having our cup of tea.

Many thanks for making our holiday perfect in every way.

Had a really enjoyable week.

Absolutely loved the peaceful location in the village of St Erth. You could hear a pin drop at night and the dark skies were just fabulous, we’ve never seen so many stars. The cottage had everything we needed and the village pub was great, just a few metres from the front door. The food was great and we were made to feel really welcome. A coffee table was the only thing missing in the living room so hopefully Santa might bring one for next year. We’re hoping to come back next summer as we had such a lovely break and we were ideally placed for all the places we love to visit.

The property was beautiful.

Could not fault anything. Spotless, comfortable, well equipped and very spacious. I highly recommend it..great location with lovely local pub and shop. I will definitely be rebooking. Thank you for a wonderful stay

We had two wonderful weeks in this very nice cottage.

It was clean, very spacious and had everything that you could possibly need available. Only a dustpan and brush we couldn’t find to remove the ashes from the barbecue when we left. St. Erth is a lovely little village. The Pub makes nice pizzas and the playground near the church is very, very nice. We would definitely recommend this house and hopefully come back.

Coth Skyber is a roomy house in a good location.

Cleanliness found satisfactory. The only major problem was the worn out mattresses. There are two double beds, both with ridged frames that make a noise with every movement and two single beds, one with slats (some up the wrong way) and the other a ridged broken bed with a distorted frame! These also had worn out mattresses! To add to the problem only thick, synthetic winter duvets were provided to complete the discomfort. A restful stay? I think not! All of these beds are well past their best. A note was left at the property informing of the above. I would have liked to contact Sykes outside of a review but it isn't made possible. It is also noted that only positive reviews seem get published so I don't expect to see this one any time soon!

I would have liked to have been more informed about the suitability for walking in the local area.

It was not possible to walk anywhere safely with a double buggy. Heated towel rails would have been nice. Damp towels aren’t pleasant. I tried to get the heating on once and the thermostat kept saying the temperature was at or over 23 degrees there was no way this could have been possible. Having said all that it was a nice cottage. The beds and pillows were very comfy. Also there were lots of things I didn’t expect in the kitchen… foil, cling film, kitchen towel. The owner was very nice and accommodating and the cleaner was very nice too.

We would just like to say that we very much enjoyed our stay, the house was lovely, so much room, very comfortable, plenty of space in the bedrooms, its the first time i have actually had a good nights sleep, away on holiday, so thank you.

The garden was beautiful, and we enjoyed sitting on the bench listening to the birds every morning having our cup of tea. Many thanks. Fiona, Vince, Vincent and Holly. x

Really appreciated the comfortable mattresses and sofas.

Lovely cottage clean and with everything you would need .

Quiet and private ,access a little tight but good parking for 2 cars . Great location with good links for visiting surrounding towns .

Lovely house in a lovely spot.

cottage was very comfortable and clean.

Lovely vilage with nice pub. Very convenient for south west Cornwall (St Ives, Marazion etc) bit of a trek up to Falmout, Truro or Padstow. Main downfall is the parking arourd the rear of the property being a bit tight for a large estate car, other than that we had a very nice holiday.

Great location for exploring all our favourite places in Cornwall and Coth Skyber gave our family all the space we needed.

Only downside was that the bedrooms smelt a bit musty and a nest of side tables in the living room would be really useful. All that said, we have already booked to stay again next year! :-)

Found house ok and keys etc.

Parking at rear was great. House was well equipped and comfortable. They now have a LARGE TV. Excellent position in mid Cornwall for exploring the South and middle of Cornwall and St. Ives via train. Very pleased with it. Would recommend to other families.

We had good contact with owner for this holiday home.

He was helpful and kind and kept us in the loop when we had a issue. Lovely house and garden with a 1 min walk up the hill to the village shop and pub! Great parking and easy to get to! Will hopefully be going back!

We had a very comfortable stay at the cottage.

It was very clean and well equipped. Great location for us, a real home from home. Our only recommendation would be for a better TV and music system as the TV was v small and basic. Otherwise perfect. Thank you.

Coth Skyber is.

In a very quiet and pretty village that has good access to both the Lands End And Lizard peninsulas. Easy to get into St Ives and quick to get onto the A30. We enjoyed sitting in the garden and walking along the river The cottage description omitted the fact that the property had a washing machine and freezer which would have been useful to know. Instructions on how to access the rear entrance would have helped as the front drive is impractical to use We hope to return for another stay

We really enjoyed our holiday at Coth Skyber.

very comfortable cottage in a lovely private location. Very close to Hayle and the beautiful Godrevy beach. Everything you could possibly need is in the cottage. Don;t want to criticise but the lounge is so big it could really do with a bigger TV as you could not read anything on screen you were too far away from it. Please be aware on Sykes website it says pet friendly you can take 1 well behaved dog, but dogs are not allowed in the house itinerary.

It would be a good idea to give details on how to approach the property from the rear, as the sat Nav takes you to the front and the access up the driveway is very tight if you have a large car and there is no turning room either, so you then have to reverse back down again.

Information book in house said ,Sorry no pets.

This did bother my partner.Maybe you could cleat this up for future geusts .Otherwise exellent.

Brilliant house thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would definitely go back.

Location is good for exploring that part of Cornwall.

Absolutely lovely cottage with everything you could possibly need, in a lovely peaceful location.

If anything the only fault I could see was that the cleaning could do with taking up a notch as there was a lot of cob webs in the majority of the rooms. I would however still book again.

My husband and I love West Cornwall and visit regularly.

I am reluctant to tell you how brilliantly Coth Skyber exceeded out expectations as we would happily live there, never mind return and we want to ensure we can visit again after this effusive feedback! We don't like apartments and this house was wonderfully big for the 2 of us plus our dog. We got to know the amazing beaches at Porth Kidney and Gwithian as well as Marazion as St Erth village is placed perfectly between them. It's always difficult to know what to bring when you go self-catering but everything we needed was provided from towels to kitchen roll and dishwasher tablets. We found the cottage easily but came in at the front which is difficult to back in and out of so for the rest of the holiday we accessed the property from the Private Road at the back. (Can I suggest that Sykes explain that in detail on the information). Coth Skyber feels like you're in the middle of nowhere but in the centre of everything! Loved it!

Excellent accomodation right in the heart of the village but with a mature garden giving great privacy.
