What our customers say about their holidays

• Norman - Verified booking

  We have stayed in seven cottages marketed by Sykes in recent years and we think Walter has been the best.

  It was an attractive, well-decorated building in an interesting part of Newlyn, accessed from a narrow lane (but with car park close by) and was well-equipped. The owners had generously provided us with some food and sufficient supplies of consumables such as washing up liquid, hand washing liquid, and toilet paper. The information pack was interesting, particularly on the history of the house – the current owners are the fifth generation of the family to own it. The cottage is close to the Coastal Path which passes the end of Church Street. We recommend the Hepworth Museum in St Ives, Trewidden Gardens, St Michael’s Mount, the Newlyn Village trail and the Newlyn Filmhouse. There are good local bus services including the Mousehole bus and the Coaster bus – those provide access to the Coastal Path. We did several sections using the bus links. There is a well-equipped Co-op a short walk away, open till late. The only downside of our holiday was mud – the Coastal path between Newlyn and Lamorna had some very muddy stretches because of all the rain.

  Stunning, comfortable cottage.

  Loved it. So well-equipped and delightfully furnished and decorated. Wanted for nothing. Location great, we could walk to Newlyn town centre, supermarkets, pubs, Penzance and Mouseholes and there was a bus stop at the bottom of the hill. Walter is halfway up an incline but as we are very fit seniors, it was not a problem for us but for those with limited mobility, it could be. The only other downside was parking. There is a public carpark about 200 metres away and we bought a weekly parking permit. But if we went out in the car, we had to time our arrival home very carefully otherwise, we would not get a parking space. It was full all day and after 4.00 pm when it was free parking, it was almost impossible to get an overnight parking bay. A designated parking bay for the cottage would be helpful. Otherwise, our stay at Walter was amazing and we would definitely recommend to others and would stay there again if ever we come back to UK again. Many thanks for sharing your lovely cottage with us.

  From the minute we stepped through the door to the Walter it felt like home.

  Everything you could possibly need was provided, and more! From a welcome pack with fresh bread and milk, to tea, coffee and hot chocolate and dog treats, not to mention the delicious cakes! If, like us, you had a dog with you. You can tell this has been well thought of. Dog bowls and a mat are provided, as well as doggy towels and throws etc. Easy to clean floor’s throughout downstairs and then a gate on the bottom of the stairs to stop your four legged friend roaming upstairs. The whole place was spotless and you could tell it was really cared for. The attention to detail was amazing, everything matching and everything just felt in the right place. Although there is no parking at the property, we parked in the small local car park which was about 100m from the cottage and paid £15 for the week. We were coming and going all the time and never struggled to find a place. Newlyn itself was lovely. We ate a few times at the Fisherman’s Arms, which we can highly recommend and the ice cream from S Jelberts was amazing.

  After hours of driving we were surprised to find biscuits, tea, coffee and a small bottle of milk on arrival - a very welcome treat for tired travellers! This was by far the cleanest pet friendly cottage we’ve stayed at. It had a no pets upstairs rule which suited us as our 15 year old dog sleeps downstairs at home anyway and it kept the upstairs area clean and hair free. The mesh stair gate was great as we popped it on the front door so she could lie and watch everyone walk past with the doors open to keep the cottage cool. The beds and sofas were comfortable and the cottage itself was maintained to a high standard and situated in a quiet area within the park. The park was small and peaceful which we really enjoyed. The parks location is out of the main busy areas but still within a few minutes of the popular areas and beaches - it was lovely to come back to a quiet area after a busy day. We have already recommended the Finches to our friends and will return for another visit in future!

  We throughly enjoyed our stay at 5 Parc Terrace.

  Newlyn is a lovely village with lovely restaurants (Mackrel Sky Seafood, The Bridge) Café (Duke St Cafe) and Pubs (The Swordfish) all of which are dog friendly. The house is in a perfect location to walk to Penzance and Mousehole and a bus route which runs through can also be used to get to other areas/sights of Cornwall. This information written in the welcome pack would have been useful. The house was on a steep hill, a good way to walk off the food and drinks, and we were lucky with parking to have had a pace on the road just outside the house. The house itself was decorated lovely, clean and was everything we needed for a week with our dog. The gifts on arrival were a lovely touch! Thank you for a lovely week and we would definitely recommend to stay here as a base for exploring Cornwall
