  First View Thank you for providing the lovely gifts of Cider & biscuits.

  I loved your cottage, the views were amazing of the sea and countryside. The decor and furniture was lovely. The shower was lovely too. It really did help us as a family to use your washing machine and dishwasher. The garden was beautiful. The only negative comments l would like to say is that we had to roll the rug up in the living room because it was covered in pet hairs and my grandson was covered in hair. I swept the floor where the rug was and filled the dustpan with hair and dust. The grill wasn't clean when we arrived but your cottage is beautiful and so is Boscastle. I would love to stay at your cottage again. Second View Boscastle feedback a beautiful location ideal base for exploring cornwall luvly clean house with a superb view. Third View Thank you for welcoming us to Honeycroft cottage with a lovely bottle of cider and biscuits. We loved every part of your cottage, views of the sea, countryside and all the little shops down in the valley. The only negative I would like to mention is that we had to roll up the rug in the living room as it was covered in pet hair and my son kept getting covered in it, the upstairs toilet seat is loose and the oven grill tray wasn't clean. Lastly I would like to say that your cottage is a beautiful place to stay and us as a family enjoyed it very much. Boscastle is beautiful. We would definitely recommend and would love to stay at your cottage again in the future.

  We had the best week in Cornwall, making fantastic memories.

  Boscastle was extremely pretty and the cottage was absolutely beautiful!! We took our dog on her first holiday and the garden was amazing and very safe. The cottage itself was beautifully decorated and very well presented. It really was home from home. Just up the road is a pub called the Napoleon and we had a really lovely meal in there so would highly recommend. There are 2 convenience stores, 1 up the top of the hill and one in the village down the hill, both were well stocked. I felt the cottage was in a great location, yes it’s a drive out to visit different places but they were never too far and the drive looking at the countryside was a pleasure in itself. We visited Bude, Port Issac, Padstow, Daymer Bay, Rock and many more!!! Everywhere we went was really dog friendly especially Daymer Bay, the dogs are allowed off leads and could enjoy their freedom. If there was a negative it might be the parking? It is off street but extremely tight, however with a little bit of skill & patience my husband perfected the parking by the 2nd day!! We however have a Golf and anything bigger would definitely struggle. There is parking to the front (which is where my daughter parked) but at times this was extremely busy? All in all it really was a perfect holiday. Thanks again for allowing us to use your beautiful home.

  The property is very lovely.

  The view is to die for, and the house is nice in the most part. The garden is lovely, and the dogs were perfectly safe there and didn't escape. However, I don't think that the owner has actually slept in the double beds. If he had, he would have changed them. They are double beds, with double duvets (an absolute no in my view!), the mattresses were so hard and the bed made such a racket every time you turned over. In the end, we moved the spare single beds (which were super comfy) and camped out in the lounge! Also, be aware there are no wardrobes whatsoever throughout the property. It's not so much of an issue if there are only 2 of you, as we used the other rooms to hang anything we needed to. There are lots of drawers though. Finally, the kitchen is well stocked, but again, there is nowhere for you to store your food for the week, as every cupboard is stuffed full of glasses, plates, cleaning supplies, etc. We created a "pantry" by the fridge and just stored everything there. There is a great shop at the bottom of the hill, which has everything you need and more and they're super friendly too. Would be rebook? Only if we knew that there were new beds, mattresses and bedding. It was lovely, but we won't be back.

  This cottage does an incredible job of feeling spacious and cosy at the same time.

  .. we found it to be a very well equipped, nicely presented, clean, warm and flexible living space with lots of options on bedrooms.The newly refurbished ground floor bathroom was impressive & spacious (great towels) and the central heating was more than sufficient to heat the large cottage. Any instructions were clear & easy to follow. It also has a very reliable & easy to navigate tv system - which is a rare find in a holiday let! Sadly the weather wasn't on our side so we didn't get a chance to use the garden - and so can't comment on the facilities there, but to the eye there was more than enough space to have held numerous children, or adults, running a mock in the summer to enjoy the lawns & seaviews. A welcome pack greeted us on our first day - the caretaker visited the property within 30 minutes of us calling with a query - and the owner called us every day to ensure that everything was ok with our stay. Close enough to visit Tintagel, Boscastle, Bude, Padstow & Newquay by car. Loads of kids' activities, farms and playparks close by too. We certainly had some challenging weather during our stay but we loved the cottage and would definitely recommend it.

  The property was not clean.

  Hairs and toothpaste found in the bathroom sink, dirty marks on the toilet seat, sticky marks and food crumbs on kitchen worktops, dusty, dirty surfaces and floors. Photographs provided to Sykes. The television did not work and it was clear from conversations with the owner that she was aware of this and therefore property listings are knowingly inaccurate. In my opinion, parking in a 'nearby street' is misleading. Guest are not made to feel welcome. There is no welcome pack and not basics left in the kitchen. Not even a teabag. No hand soap, or any soap to wash ones hands after visiting the toilet, on arrival at the property. Unfortunately, finding a dirty and unhygienic property outweighs any positives that this property may have. Furthermore, the attitude of the owner was poor as was the attitude of Sykes. The owner is in breech of contract, as stated in Sykes booking conditions, yet Sykes will not do anything about this. Furthermore, Sykes ratings clearly cannot be relied on and are not only unhelpful, but misleading when trying to choose a property. Therefore, I could not recommend Sykes to anyone.
