  This was my first time with Sykes and I would definitely use again!

  Booking was so easy. Got regular emails giving me all the information I needed - before, during and after! Had a tiny glitch during our stay and the response and timing was just superb - very impressive! Loved the star system and having booked a 4 star house I was not disappointed. Primrose Cottage was exactly as described. New refurbished it is clean, welcoming, cosy and has everything you need for an awesome holiday. Two very spacious rooms with lots of storage space (can be a rarety).. Light, airy, clean. Bathroom with shower upstairs was sufficient for our needs however this a large bathroom with bath downstairs too :-) Kitchen diner was just brilliant - SO well equipped. Big fridge/freezer. Great oven. Wine rack :-) Washing machine and dishwasher. Garden was perfect for afternoon sun and wine. Grass area for the dog and decking area with comfy chairs for just relaxing. Lots of pads, parasol, body board in outside storage. Accessed from patio doors from kitchen. The only tiny downside is you can't access the garden without coming through house. We were lucky with the weather so my dog was always clean and I put towels down on the cream carpet in the living room but if you have a dirty dog after a walk make sure you are prepared. Bailey dried off in garden before allowed in lounge area so no problem for us. And the kitchen has a lovely laminate floor so dog friendly. Lounge had a settee, chair and two bean bags with a great telly. Just perfect for relaxing in an evening. I was worried about the lack of parking on the drive but it really wasn't a problem. You can load/unload and there is cul de sac 20 seconds walk away where there was always parking. So please don't worry about this aspect! Highly recommend both Sykes AND the accommodation. Will definitely use again and hope the next house is just as perfect. Thanks for having us!

  From the day before our holiday the Hosts George and Christine were in touch to check our arrival so they could be at the cottage to welcome us and show us around.

  A very warm welcome was followed by a tour of the place and the facilities. It was like walking in to a brand new fully equipped modern house with all the facilities that you would think of. Dogs bed, towel and other items for the dog, fruit basket with biscuits, scones, fudge, wine, bread milk ,coffee, tea ,sugar, salt, pepper and much more so you do not have to buy anything straight away on your arrival. The kitchen had brand new cutlery crockery and glasses etc. A nice barbeque with charcoal provided.A very nice bar and seating arrangement in the garden was appreciated specially when we did a barbeque Basically everything that you need was more or less thought of and provided. We were 5 and the beds and rooms were more than adequate. The bathroom and the toilet were very clean with all towels provided. The hosts made a point of welcoming a couple from our party personally next day as they arrived after us. On the whole extremely pleasant experience of going from home to home and I am sure I have forgotten a lot of things! Like the surround sound system in all the rooms! Excellent wifi etc. Truly the sort of host and property that you dream of. Can not wait to go Back. Good luck to George and Christine Hope to see you very very soon.

  This place took some finder has we didn't know it was John Fowler's.

  If i would have known this, I wouldn't have booked this holiday because we had problems last year with John fowler's so wasn't happy at all and the pictures are nothing like. It was very small the bed was uncomfortable and hard. The sofa wasn't much better. I couldn't believe there was no wardrobe in the main bedroom so had no way to hang all my clothes. For some reason we had a really bad smell in the bathroom and took time to source out what the smell was and it was actually coming from the bathroom sink smell like sewage so had to buy some bleach. The property was under a Lord of Trees this is the problems with John fowler's you are surrounded by trees you do not get so sun at all. The only good thing i can say it was clean. You should be told which holiday park you are stopping in. The food wasn't that good apart from the chips one night I got charged £2.50 a few nights later I got some chips but this time I got charged £3.00 and I ask why and just got told I don't know. I will never go again or book with the company I used. I couldn't wait to get home. Very disappointed with all.

  Wow. My wife has managed holiday properties in the Scottish Borders and every box she looked for in a well managed property had been conclusively ticked in Primrose Cottage.

  The whole property was spotlessly clean, beautifully laid out and homely with a fully enclosed garden area to the rear. Bedrooms were comfortable with sufficient room for storage of clothes and beautifully quiet. The upstairs shower was best suited to a smaller person but that was more than compensated for by the full sized bathroom downstairs. Being a cottage of its era the stairs are quite narrow and comparatively steep compared to a modern house, maybe not best suited for someone with mobility issues. Parking was about 50 metres away due to access for neighbours. This didn't prove an issue during our stay and avoided having to negotiate the blind exit from the front drive. A mirror has been provided to assist with exiting the drive but it still felt like a leap of faith pulling out. Location was great with Hayle being a short walk away for shops with a good selection of local accessible areas for exercising our dog. All in all if we were to be returning to the area Primrose Cottage would definitely be on our 'wish list' of properties to return to

  We experienced problems during our stay regarding a terrible smell of drains.

  We tried to report it on the emergency phone number (Monday), it went to answerphone and we had no response. On Tuesday we called the Management Team and they were quick to respond. We believe someone visited the property, while we were out, as on returning, we could smell cleaning products. However, by the next morning, the smell was back. We emailed Sykes requesting they inform the Owner of the problem at the property. (Still waiting for a response.) Also, we sent Sykes a photo of the weeds, bindweeds and brambles near the seating area of the garden. We really liked the location of the property and feel it’s a shame we had these problems. Near the back door and in the upstairs and downstairs bathrooms the smell was very unpleasant. Whenever we were at the property we had all the doors and windows open and went to the extremes of getting up at 5.30am to air the property. By Thursday we’d had enough and left. We left a ‘polite notice’ for the cleaner to make them aware of our concerns.
