The Granary

Dear Ian, We are pleased to see that you loved your stay at The Granary, since your comments regarding the garden we have appointed a replacement gardener, unfortunately due to ill health our gardener had missed a number of weeks, however , the garden is now looking neat and tidy. With reference to the bin collection, we have notified the authorities and it has been dealt with. Thank you again for your comments as this helps to keep our standards to the high levels expected

Dear Family, Thank you so much for your wonderful review – we’re absolutely delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your stay at The Granary, Cornwall. It’s fantastic to know that you found everything immaculately clean, well presented, and thoughtfully equipped. We work really hard to create a true home away from home, so your comments genuinely mean a lot to us. We’re also so pleased you enjoyed the location – it really is a special spot for exploring Cornwall’s coastline, villages, and countryside. Thank you as well for your feedback regarding the hot tub. As it’s a traditional wood-fired hot tub, it does take a little time to fill and heat, but many guests enjoy the slower, more relaxed experience it brings. That said, we completely appreciate your comments and will look at how we can make this clearer for future guests to help them make the most of it during their stay. We love that your family still made the most of it (even as a plunge pool!) – that made us smile It was a pleasure hosting you all, and we would be absolutely thrilled to welcome you back again anytime. Warmest wishes, Paul & Jules The Granary, Cornwall

Dear Family Thank you so much for your lovely feedback – we’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed your short break at The Granary. It’s great to know you found everything clean, comfortable, and well equipped, and that the location worked perfectly for exploring both the coastline and surrounding areas. Cornwall really does offer something special in every direction. We’re especially glad you and your dog made the most of the walks – it’s one of our favourite things about the area too. For future guests (and for your next visit!), here are a few top tips for dog walks around The Granary and North Cornwall: Right on the doorstep – Bodmin Moor Step straight out into open countryside with endless space to explore. Perfect for peaceful walks with stunning views – just keep an eye out for local livestock. Widemouth Bay (15 mins) A fantastic dog-friendly beach, especially outside peak restrictions. Great for long sandy walks and a proper run for your dog. Crackington Haven A beautiful, slightly quieter spot with dramatic cliffs and scenic coastal walks. Boscastle to Tintagel Coastal Path One of the most breathtaking walks in Cornwall – ideal if you enjoy a longer hike with incredible sea views. Local Tip Many pubs and cafés in the area are very dog-friendly – so you can enjoy a stop-off without leaving your four-legged friend behind. Thank you again for choosing The Granary – it was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you (and your dog!) back again soon. Warmest wishes, Paul & Jules The Granary, Cornwall

Dear Karen, we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay, and that you were “impressed” we are looking into updating the guest book, as some of the content requires change, including the reference to turning the heating off, as you know we do not turn the heating off, the heated towel rails can be turned off and on by the switch on the wall - it’s a pity you didn’t contact to ask about this.We do provide a number of complementary logs for guests on there arrival, we also leave sacks of logs in the guest garage to purchase or “ replace” if used. We believe our cottage is very dog friendly, we provide everything from dog treats to dog towels, bowls, leads, even a cage, our home is also a destination for those without pets so we must respect their expectations, we believe that cleaning up after you pet is not a “big ask” and where ever possible the patio areas are rinsed off especially in the summer months. We do welcome any suggestions to improve our guest stay experience and strive to make any changes / improvements where possible

Dear professor Gregory Atkins, in response to your complaint I would like to respond : firstly, our cottage is for everyone to enjoy, especially families with young children, so it is paramount that all areas are kept clean and are hygienic this includes the patio and grass areas, we don’t feel it is unreasonable for owners to clean up after their dogs, other requests for example : putting your rubbish out for collection, washing your dishes, emptying your ash from the fire etc are reasonable requests that are also requested by other Sykes owners. With reference to the bedding / linen, I can understand how embarrassing it must be have been to have left your mess for my housekeeper to remove, the stained and soiled bedding / towels has had to be intensely laundered to remove the stains / bodily fluids or what ever was on them ? people do have accidents, some people are incontinent, but it would have been polite to let us know so we could have pre warned our housekeeper. We are not in the habit of accusing anyone, however, when we are presented with numerous photos from our housekeeper we have no choice but to inform Sykes who have copies of all the photos for your reference. We would not recommend you to any Sykes owners

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your stay at The Granary Cornwall. We’re glad you took the time to let us know your thoughts, as it helps us improve the experience for all our guests. I’m pleased that we were able to discuss where you could purchase logs before your arrival, so was a little confused to read about 'the logs' after you have stayed.  We apologise for any confusion caused by the Granary, Cornwall arrival information / advice for the house  - this pack highlights the need to buy your own logs for the fire and the eco hot tub . We do provide a starter pack of wood, but whilst we would like to we cannot fund the wood you will burn over your stay.   The  electronic gates unfortunately, were damaged during the recent storms, and we’re working to address this as quickly as possible.  We understand how the need to access the freezer in the garage could have been inconvenient, especially during colder weather. Your suggestion is appreciated, and I’m pleased to share that we will be upgrading the fridge in the main property to include a freezer compartment for ice cubes. We do hope you enjoyed the welcome pack provided, with the champagne, chocolates, and local Cornish treats, as we wanted to make your stay as special as possible. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to The Granary Cornwall in the future.
