Manorcombe 17

The house was tidy and comfortable on arrival, and the pub was lovely with friendly staff and reasonably priced food and drinks.

The pool was also great, although booking is required, which wasn’t mentioned on the Sykes Cottages listing. The lady at the shop was extremely friendly and helpful. However, the property wasn’t very well equipped for a week’s stay for four people. There was no hand soap, limited cleaning supplies, and only two toilet rolls provided. The back bedroom had a strong damp smell and noticeable mould around the windows. We also experienced blocked toilets during our stay and there was no plunger available. Also a minute issue but there was a good selection of board games to play, however not a single one of the games was playable due to all being missing parts. The area is fairly quiet, but there are useful amenities nearby including supermarkets, a chip shop, and a small park. Overall, the property feels quite dated and would benefit from some maintenance and updating.

second time staying here so was a little disappointed that there were no essentials like washing liquid etc this time.

could also really do with some dinning room cushions on the chairs as mentioned last time . internet on tv is not very good on some channels but wifi is good. outside steps are quite deep and could do with being lowered but other than those few things the place is fine

Lovely chalet, everything we needed for our stay.

A little smaller than we expected from the photos but nevertheless accommodation was great. The site was very quiet, very easy to book the inside pool area. Games room could do with a revamp. Would be disappointed to come to this site in August as the outside pool is tiny. Would def stay here again out of peak season.

Lovely accommodation, very clean and comfortable.

The beds were very comfy, and the chairs in the dining room could do with some cushions as they were a bit hard on the legs. Overall, everything about the place was good.

We booked quite last minute and were pleasantly surprised by how equipped the house was.

It felt very ‘homely’ and lived in and we were comfortable during our stay. The location was nice as it was basically next door to the pool and gym which we made use of every morning. The staff in the park were helpful and friendly. The location was great to travel to various parts of Dartmoor, Devon and Cornish coast. There is also a large Tesco very near for shopping. The pool was a good size and cleaned everyday. We went in late September and it was not busy at all, most days we had it to ourselves. The gym was also very well equipped and the sauna was a welcome touch. The beds in the accommodation were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. We did notice a strange noise coming from the drains and when consulting a plumber friend, they said it probably needed an ‘air admittance valve’ fitted. Overall we had a lovely time and there was nothing really to complain about, except the road leading out the park was blocked to be fixed one day and we sat for a while until they finished. It was also very nice to have two toilets to use as just one would have been a stretch if there was 6 people. As there were just two of us, we had one each! Thank you for the lovely holiday! :)

We had a wonderful time we enjoyed all of it especially the pool system and the fact that it has a time scale my grandchildren had so much fun , the only thing was the drainage was noisy but we just laughed at that thank the owner very much

We have returned 3 times but as the price has increased to over £1000 for next year we will not be rebooking.

My family of five stayed two nights.

Very pleased with everything. Perfect with close parking. Easy to book the outdoor pool and gym. Pretty view! Nice and clean. Good kitchen. Recommend this house.

The first thing to say is that the information about 2 parking spots needs to be changed as soon as possible.

If your lucky enough to get a parking spot on the parking to the side where the cottages (read chalets) are it’s reasonably flat otherwise you’ll have a steep incline to negotiate up to the property. And for the elderly or infirmed it’s almost impossible to reach the property. As I said earlier they are down as cottages but as some other reviews mention they are really just chalets. The property was clean and tidy and the pots,pans and things were adequate. We have booked with Sykes before and always found them to be excellent properties, but on this occasion we felt let down by the lack of information in the cottage as the only information was from when Covid was about. Overall I’d class the cottage as ok for young families but as I say it’s not for the elderly

Decent little holiday home, but disappointed with the fact that there was no washing machine and no launderette facilities on site.

No welcome pack, although we did find some out of date information hidden away in the coffee table draw. Cleanliness was adequate!

Very well equipped, even thiugh of the children which is very nice.

The place was nice and clean and causy but the carpets were too dusty. There were dust pilled up under the beds. Main Bathroom had no extractor fan, steam could never get dryed out. The bathroom curtain kept falling which was very annoying. One of the kitchen chair was wobbly, we were scared it would break. But dust and carpets were the main issue.

Not happy the age of us was 67/69/71/80 Steps to door top step.

tv not working 4 days week single the large sofa seat springs had gone ( hard to get out of with out help ). Electric shower kept going hot and cold ( as two of us couldn't got in other shower due to knee problems) toilet either did not flush or kept running .

Very good value for money property, in particular because we got it for just £550.

Relatively basic, but clean, comfortable beds, quiet, relatively spacious for a small party. The site was basic, but some facilities. Sadly, couldn't use the games room, as the white pool balls were missing and also the table tennis ball.

Back for the 2nd year running.

Our only moan was that on arrival the lodge smelt damp. After a through clean, air fresheners and a good airing the smell disapated. Other than this we hope to book to return next year.

Excellent stay.

Very clean and welcoming. With pools and facilities very close by there is almost no need to leave the site. That said there is plenty places to visit nearby. We requested a shower mat and one was provided very quickly, thanks for that. All in all a perfect stay for four old guys.

We had a fantastic time here place was spotless friendly staff definitely will be visiting again

I will definitely recommend.

It was clean and staff were very responsive. They also left a booklet which gave us information about different places that we can visit nearby. Each place had a short description which helped us to plan ahead. Very thoughtful!!!!

This accommodation was all that you needed home from home feel and very comfortable beds and cosy living room/kitchen.

The swimming pool and sauna was great to use we swam every day but we did use the shower facilities there after reading that the hot water didn’t last long in the bungalow but to be quite honest with the children it was just easier to shower straight after swimming so it suited us they were lovely and warm and kept very clean. The pub is absolutely beautiful the old hall is magnificent the staff were friendly. Also to point out Kevin the maintenance guy was so friendly and helpful (after having a heating problem he was straight on it and was sorted out) lots of lovely little places to go to we went into Looe, polperro, Galiath Falls were breathtaking and hearing the roar of the water! We shall definitely go back to this site the history surrounding it was amazing you can see the old pictures around the little arcade and pub which was really useful to read and the kids enjoyed looking it up as well couldn’t fault this at all it was all in all a wonderful week away!

We had a great time.

Comfortable beds, roomy accommodation. Great kitchen and very well equipped. Loved the swimming pool and it was very easy to book and no limit on how often we went. Shame about the 9am check out. Was quite a rush in the morning.

Very comfortable little bungalow.

Would definitley recommend. Well equipped with everything you need. Lovely location we definitley enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely amazing stay here like a home from home.

Flushing on both toilets were a little temperamental and make a funny blobbing blocked noise but we managed to sort them out ourselves. Beautifully maintained we were very comfortable. Kids loved the pools. All staff apart from one in the pub we amazing and very friendly. We would definitely recommend and most definitely book to stay here again. Thank you for making our stay amazing xx

This is a very cosy, but spacious bungalow in a great location on the park.

It had everything you could need provided. The only thing we did miss was WiFi, but it was available in the main building. We would definitely book again and would recommend it to friends and family. Great value for money

We were unaware that there was no WiFi as this was obscured on the Sykes site (not fault of owners).

Lodge very small and very dated decor. Settees have uncomfortable wooden bar across. Lighting in living area very poor. Second “bathroom” too small and shower door does not close so very claustrophobic. Swimming pool used for swimming lessons much of the time. No parking outside lodge so heavy bags have to be carried some way. There were only 3 of us and there was little space, would have been impossible for 6.

More lighting needed from car park upto the accommodation steps in grass not lit

There was a problem with dining chairs, as a family of six and only five chairs we could not have a meal together and the cutlery was quite dirty and had to be washed before we could use them,but apart from the things mentioned the kids really enjoyed everything about Manorcombe especially the swimming pools

The bathroom needs attention as the sealant was dirty and the plug in the bathroom didn't work properly.

This is a VERY basic no frills property - adequate for a week but I would not choose to stay in the property again. The seating area and kitchen diner was small for six people and the photos made it look bigger than it actually was. If you only use it as a base for visiting other places in Cornwall then its OK On the plus side was access to the swimming pool and a very reasonable pub on site but obviously booking was necessary as is everywhere you go this year

The pool facilities and pub were excellent and we felt comfortable under the current circumstances however we did feel as though we were given false information as the accommodation was certainly not a cottage rather a standard holiday chalet.

Because of this we did feel a little let down although staff we interacted with were very helpful and friendly. We also think better mapping of the site would be very helpful as we spent a long time trying to locate the chalet as the reception was shut upon our arrival.

Really clean accommodation and site, with great facilities.

Very central to all parts of Cornwall

We had a lovely, relaxing break, despite very 'iffy' weather!

Including storm Francis! The cottage is laid out very well, & the kitchen spotless, & very well equipped. The view from the patio is great. As we are a 'mature' group, shallower steps would be better, also an additional step into the cottage, & the balustrade needs replacing. Also, although the property is very well insulated, the heating did not seem to be working, and a couple of evenings were a little chilly. These changes would raise this property from great, to exceptional. We would highly recommend this property, and it would be suitable for family groups of any age/mix. Thank you, in these difficullt times, it was so good to be able to stay in such a lovely , well presented property, and Cornwall is always beautiful. Well worth the long drive.

Throughally enjoyed our mini break to Cornwall.

Having family nearby we visit most years and having found this little gem we will be sure to use again next year. Property was spotless, clean, attention to detail was great and we had everything we needed. If you could ensure sunshine every day it would have been beyond perfect :-)

Lovely stay, although some damp in bedrooms

Was a fantastic holiday great place to stay and explore Cornwall the accomidation was well equipped for a holiday home .

the area was beautiful the only thing that I would say is the indoor pool area is looking a bit tired other than that we had a brilliant time as a family and would stay again

We had a great time but the information regarding the parking was slightly miss leading as i though you parked directly at the side of the cottage which was not the case it was parking at the end of the block of cottages which caused problems as one of the party was not too mobile ,plus i know it had two steps but they are extremely steep so we had difficulty getting them in and out .

the cottage itself is very well equipped and plenty of space .

We required a cot for a baby, on arrival there was a travel cot, but no mattress.

We had to buy one, the owner did pay us back. This was a little inconvenient. The accomodation was not fully cleaned, most of the dishes, pans and cutlery needed washed before use. Honeycomb Manor is a nice location but the surroundings are a little tired looking. The price for the week was not value for money.

Excellent, well maintained property.

The tin opener didn’t work and we were immediately provided with a new one. It was brilliant to be within sight of the play area.

We were pleasantly surprised to have tea/coffee and biscuits there on our arrival, the cottage was well equipped and very clean.

the open air pool was excellent and ideal weather made our holiday even more enjoyable. We would definitely return to this lovely part of England .

The accommodation was very clean and comfortable.

It had everything you need for self catering. Site facilities were good including, gym, pool and games room. Tennis court was very tired and not really useable. No recycling facilities on site either which is disappointing when waste is such a big issue and with a lot of holiday accommodation on site it would be well used I’m sure. Lots of good places to visit nearby.

Manorcombe 17 is a hidden gem.

Set in a lovely holiday park,it has all the makings of a perfectly relaxing time. One of the great additions is the fantastic view over the downs towards Saltash,truly lovely. Well recommended.

cottage was clean and well equipped.

was surprised the bedding and towels were all changed after first week, as we have not found that in other places we have been in. The outside and inside pool were great , much enjoyed especially by 10year old Grandson. Donkey Sancturary was much enjoyed as Donkeys were very active in trying to find food from us. Had various days out and about which were enjoyed by all 3 generations. Cream Teas naughty but nice.

Note around WIFI is misleading.

Given the lack of mobile signal and bad weather, it is really important to have wifi access. No wifi in the property. Apart from that everything was as expected and more. Cannot fault the accommodation as it is done to good standards.
