“A beautiful little cottage in St Just.”

The cottage had everything we needed and was very cosy. St Just is a lovely village and was the ideal location for exploring Cornwall. We ate in the king's Arms but didn't rate it. The Chinese takeaway was very nice. All in all a fabulous week and we will be back.

“The property unfortunately let Sykes down.”

It is fifthy. Every inch of that property has dust. I was able to write my name on most of it. Every work top, picture frame, book shelve had dust. It was such a shame. The shower head for example had months of dust on it and we are amazed no one else had highlighted it in the visitors book or via here. Its a very old property and damp is obvious. It needs a good airing and the windows opened. Many of the damp patches have been painted over which is most obvious around the lounger's window. We had dog hair (we hope) all over the main bed on day 1 despite the fact a cleaner had some in. We called Sykes which we've never done before with any operator and we travel a lot. We had concerns but to be fair, Sykes and the owner were fantastic. The problem was never resolved mind you but compensation was certainly provided. Debbie who was a local friend/neighbour was lovely and offered to clean etc the following day. She certainly changed the bed. The communications we had were also great with the occupant. Nevertheless, we didn't stay the duration of my planned stay for the reasons above. It had some great touches and 6-12 months ago I imagine it could have been lovely. But it for us just needs a bit of TLC and defo a new cleaner. It had a decent TV, Sano's speaker, washing machine etc etc which are all lovely little modern day touches for the modern day family - but when there is mould on chopping boards, toast from the last occupants, mould on the draining board, hair on your bed and the smell of damp - it was just a massive let down. We are amazed that it scored so highly for being 'clean'. We've highly expectations with properties being 'clean' than most but I'm amazed people are willing to spend over a £1000 in school holidays to spend the first evening vacuuming the sand off the stairs from the last occupant. By all means - stay - its a lot to offer in the area. But please mind how much is spend. I really do hope that the property gets some TLC and a good clean. Once that's done, it will be loved again I am sure. As for the parking - that was concern when we landed. We will found plenty of spaces all over the place within 20-40 metres.

The Owner is very sorry if elements of the cleaning of the cottage did not match their House keepers normally high standards. This is the first time this season that any comment has been made about the standard of cleaning at the property which generally scores 4/4. We do appreciate that in a busy season some areas may require a deep clean and we will be planning that into our season for 2020.Additional cleaning was offered to the guests but was not accepted. Granite cottages benefit from being aired well to prevent any issues with damp. The owners will be using a dehumidifier in 2020 to ensure the property remains fresh in instances where guests keep all the windows closed for long periods. We are delighted that you found the service both from Sykes and the Owner excellent. Owner relations
“We stayed at Kevin cottage, 5 Chapel street, st Just, Cornwall.”

We had an important parcel sent to us which the postman posted through next door at 5a Chapel st. His excuse was the two cottages used to be one so he always puts post through 5a!! Sadly the parcel was our spare car keycard as the one we had with us had stopped working. Because of the postman’s action we spent the whole holiday without use of our car. The owners of 5a live in Portsmouth so do not often go to the house. Can we make a plea that the owners of Kevin cottage add this warning about post problems? The Post Office in St Just admitted it is a recurrent problem.

“The cottage was everything we were expecting it to be and everything that we wanted from a holiday house.”

We were very happy with the facilities and it was a lovely looking cottage with beautiful interiors. The location was spot on for us and we enjoyed exploring the village of St Just and local areas. The photos were accurate and we were pleased with our choice. The bed was comfortable and the showers excellent. The kitchen utensils, crockery, glasses and cutlery could have done with a good wash from the previous occupiers. We appreciated the detailed welcome pack and information about the local area which made eating out easier, and the bubbly on arrival was a very kind gesture. The suggested walks and local maps were a superb addition, and we also appreciated the log burner after a few chillier walks along the cliff tops at Cape Cornwall. A beautiful cottage, and we hope to return to this part of the world again soon.

“We bimbled from Cape Cornwall all the way to Kynance Cove sitting on many beaches happily watching the tides ebb and flow.”

Relaxed and happy. Watched a peregrine falcon on the Cape, saw choughs nearby and waited for dolphins. Not this time sadly. Wonderful holiday. Wonderful cottage to return to.

- Mr Holmes, October 2018
“Great location, being so near to Cape Cornwall is a ideal for those who love to work.”

The village of St Just has all the facilities you need with good eating establishments and two butchers and a grocers where you can buy excellent fresh produce. The bed was extremely comfortable. Wasn't a problem not having allocated parking; was able to park in street and there was the added bonus of free car park relatively nearby. I would say that maybe the kitchen cupboards on the outside needed a wipe and a couple of mixing bowls would have been useful. That said we would highly recommend to our friend and family. We hope to return.

“The walks, Kevrin Cottage is situated in West Cornwall where the coastal paths are ideal for dog walks and breathtaking sea views.”

St. Just is our favourite town in Cornwall, so we just revisited old haunts, The Star pub being our favourite! The cottage was an ideal base, it was superbly equipped and had everything we required. Thank goodness for a superb log burning stove though, because we never managed to fathom out how to get the central heating working, seems it only comes on when the thermostat meets a certain temperature.

- Mr Quinnell, September 2018
“Wonderful cottage, great location and the facilities were great especially the kitchen utensils and the game room for the children.”

Welcome pack with information was also very useful. Would love to have had information on how to recycle, no info on where to put glass, cardboard, plastic etc.

- Mrs Wood, August 2018
“I would to say this was not the owners fault, as Sykes Cottages now own Cornish Cottages and arrange the cleaning.”

It is a lovely well position cottage, but on arrival it had not been cleaned since the last guests, including the toilet and linen, no welcome pack, no logs etc for the fire, windows opened and freezing cold. The owner was fantastic and organised everything to the way it should be. We requested compensation from Sykes, but told that they had to contact the third party the cleaning company, despite numerous phones calls and promises of compensation we still have not received anything apart from rudeness, rarely received telephone calls when promised no date or time line given when we might expect anything close to answer, no apologies from Sykes customer service given.

“Kevrin Cottage exceeded all of our expectations.”

For a cottage located so far west in Cornwall, it's unbelievable to think how great a location it was for us to get around some of the best and most beautiful beaches Cornwall has to offer, such as Porthcurno and Sennen Cove and take walks to Portheras Cove and Nanjizal. The walk to Nanjizal is a long one, however it is a superb achievement once you're there - rewarded with the sheer beauty of the rocks and the breath taking blue water enclosed by them. The cottage itself was fantastic, with the downstairs shower room a favourite and very luxurious. The cosy atmosphere the cottage bought compliments the friendly and homely environment of St Just. In conclusion, the house became a lovely home for us for the week and the time we spent in Kevrin Cottage was very enjoyable.

The property

Found in the spectacular far west of Cornwall in the popular town of St Just, Kevrin Cottage is a delightful and beautifully styled retreat.

This charming end of terrace granite cottage has been given a stylish new interior which provides a relaxing and welcoming ambiance - especially with the wood burner alight!

Kevrin, meaning secret or mystery in Cornish, will exceed all expectations of those who wish to be within walking distance of pubs, shops and cafes and have fabulous coastal walks on the doorstep.

Here you can forget the car as well as the stresses of everyday life so bring your walking boots or simply relax with a good book. The nearest small beach at Cot Valley is a hidden and little known gem at the bottom of a beautiful lush valley making it the perfect picnic spot.

For those who prefer a wide stretch of sand Sennen Cove and Porthcurno are also within easy driving distance.

There are incredible walks on the doorstep to Cape Cornwall or along the rugged south west coast path towards Lands End in the west and Pendeen lighthouse in the east.

We recommend the drive east along the coastal road to St Ives for a day of browsing boutique shops and galleries or sampling fine seafood in one of the many restaurants which line the harbour.

Penzance is just 10 minutes drive with its' Jubilee Pool, Cornwall's much loved art deco lido, and its' reputation as the new food capital of Cornwall. Immaculately presented and carefully planned the super kitchen/dining room forms the hub of Kevrin Cottage - perfect for friends and family to gather.

The cosy sitting room, with lovely wood burning stove, has plenty of room for everyone to sit comfortably.

Upstairs is a master double bedroom and a twin which share the shower room.

Relax in the peaceful snug, with distant sea views, or play on the XBox.

Downstairs is a really useful shower and utility area and outside is a sun-trap enclosed courtyard to the rear of the cottage; perfect for evening drinks and sunny breakfasts.

There is space to hang wetsuits and store surfboards in the courtyard.
