“I would not under any circumstances recommend this house.”

When we arrived the house was absolutely filthy and having two young children this was very concerning. Shower dirty, kitchen dirty, toilet dirty, dirty towel left on bedroom door from previous guests, mirror in one of the double bedrooms broken, I could go on it was so bad! We reported the cleaning issues to the house manager and she sent the cleaners out and also left a bottle of wine (which I did not ask for, I made it clear I didn’t want anything just for the house to be clean which I ...

When we arrived the house was absolutely filthy and having two young children this was very concerning.

We reported the cleaning issues to the house manager and she sent the cleaners out and also left a bottle of wine (which I did not ask for, I made it clear I didn’t want anything just for the house to be clean which I feel is a reasonable expectation. We also reported the upstairs toilet not flushing. We have now returned from this property to be accused of stealing items and leaving it untidy and dirty. We left the house clean and tidy and in my opinion better than how it was left for us. Don’t stay here unless you want be called a thief and a liar. Clearly they need to use better cleaners at this property! Completely unacceptable.

“Lovely location and easy to find and park.”

We were able to park at the property round the back for the duration of our stay but be aware the car park does get busy and this wasn’t even in peak season. It had all we needed and we had a lovely welcome with fresh scones, jam and cream too

Stuart Saunders July 2024

“Beautiful house so comfortable and in such a magical location, can't praise the house just the right size for me and my family.”

Great location for everything we wanted to do and if we wanted a lazy day there was plenty to do around tintagel.

- Stuart Saunders, July 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re in the house this week and loved the pictures from your children - Thank you Property Owner

“Lovely cosy and clean cottage and in such a brilliant location.”

Had a bit of trouble with locking the front door sometimes, but otherwise perfect. Would gladly book again. Barrie & Anne

Natalie August 2023

“This is such a beautiful cottage!”

Thank you for the lovely welcome - it set us up for a fantastic stay. We had everything that we needed for our holiday and it felt as though thought had gone into ensuring this. The location is so handy as it’s right in Tintagel, the views are beautiful and the rooms are charming. The new dehumidifier does a great job of keeping the cottage fresh. We’d definitely love to return!

- Natalie, August 2023

Thank you so so much for such wonderful feedback - we’re so grateful. It’d be a pleasure to welcome you back Property Owner
Jean July 2023

“Had a lovely holiday meeting up with family I hadn’t seen in a long time and the blue house only added to that special time there.”

It’s a great location,views from balcony are fantastic and all you needed in the way of amenities are there. Would recommend a stay there to anyone. Thanks to the owner for making our holiday complete J Jordan

- Jean, July 2023

We are SO happy that you’ve loved The Blue House - thank you so much for your kind review. Property Owner
Steve July 2023

“We had a lovely relaxing break in The Blue House.”

The cottage was very clean bright and comfortable with lovely views over the fields towards the sea The walks on the coast path are beautiful and there are plenty of places for a coffee or a meal just minutes away. We hope to return soon.

- Steve, July 2023

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback - we’re so grateful. Property Owner
Dawn June 2023

“Excellent location and stunning views from the balcony.”

Facilities in the cottage were great and the kitchen is well stocked. We did have a problem of no hot water for 24 hours but this was resolved for us and did not have any impact on how enjoyable our stay was at the Blue House. Lots of shops, pubs and restaurants in walking distance, really cannot fault the location. Just a couple of points for the owners to look at: The toilet seat in the main bathroom was very loose. The flush on the upstairs toilet is not working very well. The balcony rail is a little wobbly, might need to look at that. Nothing that didn’t stop us having a lovely stay at the Blue House.

- Dawn, June 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback and point to note. These have been picked up and actioned. Thank you Property Owner
Malcolm June 2022

“LOVELY COTTAGE AND GREAT LOCATION,BUT WE DID HAVE A FEW ISSUES WITH CLEANLINESS FOR EXAMPLE KITCHEN - UTENSILS DRAW NEEDED CLEANING BEFORE WE COULD US IT!”

OVEN DISHES ARE IN SUCH A STATE WE COULD NOT USE THEM AND NEED REPLACING ! BATHROOMS - BOTH TOILET BRUSHES WERE IN A DISGIUSTING STATE ,SHOULD OF BEEN CHECKED BY CLEANER AND NO TOILET ROOL HOLDER IN MAIN BATHROOM. ON STRIPPING THE BED IN BEDROOM( NEXT TO BATHROOM) ON DAY OF LEAVING WAS SHOCKED TO FIND VERY LARGE STAIN/STAINS ON THE DUVET , WE FOUND THIS UNACCEPTABLE.

- Malcolm, June 2022

Thank you so much for this feedback. We have taken this up with the cleaning and maintenance team. We really appreciate your feedback! The bedding and toilet brushes have been replaced and new items have been purchased for the kitchen. Property Owner
Mary June 2022

“Thanx for a comfortable stay in your house,just a small thing that we found the shower door very small to get in.”

And the smell of the damp was quite strong,we had the dehumidifier on all the time and it collected a great amount of water.you could do wit getting a new frying pan

- Mary, June 2022

Thank you so much for your feedback! We’ll get the new frying pan and look into the other areas now too. We appreciate you taking the time to message. Property Owner
Martin May 2022

“The boiler very noisey all the time even when turned off, did not get a good night sleep all week, shower vibrats, water comes out of kitchen taps when showering, pipes vibrat when toilet is flushed.”

when i got to the property parking was a probelm, a neighbour was very rude to me,, I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK

- Martin, May 2022

Thank you for your comments. We’re sorry that you’ve had this experience - we would have really appreciated any feedback using the contact details in your welcome email as, we could have resolved this as it was happening. Now that we’re aware of this today, we have a plumber booked for this afternoon to check the concerns you raised with the plumbing. **EDIT** The plumber has been and the tap/water/boiler issue has been resolved.

Tamsin April 2022

“The Blue House was fine overall but lacked some of the home comforts we’ve been used to in other holidays cottages we’ve visited over the years.”

Namely, no space or useful places in the bedrooms or bathroom to put toiletries and belongings. Also, the house had an odd smell when we went in which we deduced was a smell of damp. In addition, there was no prior warning that builders and diggers would be digging immediately outside the property every day of our holiday - even Good Friday and Easter Saturday. This made enjoying a rest or lie-in rather difficult. Tintagel is lovely but we won’t return to this particular property.

- Tamsin, April 2022

Thank you so much for your feedback, we’ve taken note of your points re the creature comforts. We’re sorry that you had this with the builders - they’d assured us that they wouldn’t be working over this period - now we know this, we’ll take it up with them. We appreciate your comments and would ask that if you ever had any concerns to get in touch with us at the time so that we could rectify it. Thanks again for staying with us. Property Owner
Claire March 2022

“Property was well located for us as we love walking.”

Scenery was beautiful and weather was great for March, lucky us! Inside of property could do with some updating and was fairly clean. Shame about the building work which was noisy and dusty when we chose to sit on the balcony. Would recommend permanently relocating the settee to be in front of the table and chairs as we banged our heads on the beams a couple of times. Downstairs smelt musty and damp despite the bathroom fan and us opening the windows. Had issue with hot water in shower a couple of mornings, not sure why as we understood the boiler being similar to one we have at home? All in all, we enjoyed our stay and thank you for sharing it with us.

- Claire, March 2022

Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re hoping that the builder will have the retaining wall up very soon. - we’ll chase this. We’ve taken on board your other comments and will certainly look into them - thank you! Property Owner

“This was our second visit and we cannot fault the blue house.”

It's a little gem. Will definitely stay again.

Thanks so much Kim! Property Owner
Samantha July 2021

“Having postponed this holiday from last year which Sykes were extremely helpful with we had a really enjoyable week away.”

The Blue House was comfortable well equiped and in the light of Covid we all felt that all precautions taken were good and made us feel safe during our stay.

- Samantha, July 2021
Tom June 2021

“Great quiet location in a private road.”

Very clean and comfortable. Good quality fittings, great shower and very handy for Tintagel village centre. Good communication with owner/manager, very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here.

- Tom, June 2021
Joanne May 2021

“A lovely place to stay, very homely and comfortable.”

We had awful weather while we were there but it was a lovely base to explore the surrounding area x

- Joanne, May 2021
Giles April 2021

“The water pressure is very poor.”

If a toilet is flushed there is no water flow out of the taps for over 60 seconds. Plus the shower is therefore very weak. Otherwise everything else was great and we would recommend the property and location to others.

- Giles, April 2021
Wendy September 2019

“The cottage was comfortable and convenient being right on the doorstep of Tintagel.”

The cottage is well equipped and the balcony was great as you could see the sea in the distance. The cottage has two comfortable double beds and some twin beds were did not need. The feel was homely and it had some good touches which made you feel comfortable and looked after. I would consider a return visit as it is located in a beautiful part of England

- Wendy, September 2019
Gillian June 2019

“We love the blue house This year was our 2nd visit and we will go again next year x Its my dream home wish i could live there x Tintagel is a beautiful village Very welcoming lovely people and nice places to eat Magical place's to explore amazing place for a holiday .”

- Gillian, June 2019
Marjolein July 2018

“The weather this year (2018) in Cornwall certainly made a huge difference.”

However, the Blue House was clean, with good facilities and very comfortable. We enjoyed eating out on the veranda looking out to the coast. The local property manager was very helpful and organised cleaning and bedding changes with us. Everything you want from a holiday cottage. Tintagel was a good base with small supermarkets, restaurants and takeaway food at hand and there are plenty of walks you can do from the cottage, we visited the tidal beach at Trebarwith which is lovely.

- Marjolein, July 2018
David December 2017

“Great location having stayed here twice speaks for itself.”

My only comment would be it’s a shame that no pets are allowed, would be more than happy to pay a premium for this service and I’m certain others would also.

- David, December 2017
David October 2017

“This is a good cottage in the perfect location within Tintagel - very central but also away from "street noise".”

As others have said it is a little smaller than expected and the living space would be very cramped if fully occupied, but was good for two! The table has to be moved to sit at and then moved again to see the TV. As others have also said the WiFi is excellent and we were glad that we brought a laptop with us for iPlayer etc. as the TV reception was poor and failed during our stay. The owners arranged for a repair very swiftly when we contacted them though. It was good to have cleaning and washing products (washing-up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc.) provided. And there aren't two bathrooms Sykes - only one plus an upstairs toilet.

- David, October 2017
Sue August 2016

“Tintagel is very hussle and bussle during the day, but at night very quiet.”

There is only room for 1 car (which was stated in the details) but to help people out with 2 cars (rather than chasing round for change to pay at a NCP carpark which is unsecured), the field next to the cottage charges £10 for the week if you pay the farmer who owns the King Arthur museum up the road. We were told about this from a neighbour next to the blue house

- Sue, August 2016
Sam August 2016

“Lovely property, altho a little smaller than expected.”

Great contact from the owners. Amazing location, and great kitchen facilities. Awesome wifi, got the thumbs up from our teenager! Even better would be a proper washing line (not under the balcony) as I couldn't get clothes dry, and some seating in the garden downstairs would have been really good too.

- Sam, August 2016
Gillian June 2016

“A really lovely cottage, enjoyed our stay very much.”

In a fantastic location with lots to do in the area, for all ages. Would definitely come back.

About the location

TINTAGEL

Camelford 5.9 miles; Wadebridge 13 miles.

Tintagel, home of the legendary King Arthur’s Castle, whose ruins dominate the cliffside just outside the village, is a popular but not overcrowded tourist destination. The surrounding area is dominated by the sea, rocky coves and stunning scenery. Several beaches, including nearby Trebarwith Strand and Bossiney Cove, are within easy reach and surfing is the main attraction for those who love the water. Tintagel has several pubs and restaurants and the Old Post Office (National Trust) is a must. For the energetic, the South West Coast Path passes through the village and in both directions it winds its way along the cliffs and down to the water’s edge through dramatic countryside. Head north along the path and within a short distance is the beautiful village of Boscastle with its quaint quay and village pubs for refreshment. Further afield are the surfing meccas of Newquay and Bude, with their resort attractions, while the open spaces of Bodmin Moor, the Eden Project, Padstow, Camel Estuary and Port Isaac are all within a short but scenic drive.

Note: Max 4 adults and 2 children.
Please note: There will be works happening at the entrance to the property on Friday 3rd May.
