Dog Friendly Cottages in Mevagissey

Reviews

What our customers say about their holidays

  Our booked six night stay consisted of one night before we gave the keys back and found somewhere else to stay.

  In 25 years of renting holiday cottages, this was by far the worst. Spartan, poorly equipped, no room whatsoever, no storage space and what we believed to be us having the run of a large garden (as the photos depicted) for our two spaniels, we had a 12 x 12ft patch of grass. The tv is at a 45 degree angle to the settee, so you had to crane your neck to watch it. No net curtains so no privacy. A kitchen without a cooker, draining board or washing machine, the latter essential for a cottage that's supposedly dog friendly. As for the front door..... We were told NOT to turn the car around using the property opposite's drive which necessitated reversing down the narrow lane to get out, no mention of this when we booked. Presumably the cottage owners and the neighbour don't get on? The directions to the place weren't even accurate. If this place WAS converted from a barn, I can only assume that the barn was more comfortable. When we departed on the Sunday morning, the owners weren't in, so I texted them to say we'd left the place and to let them know where we'd left the key. Several hours later they replied to say, "oh dear, thanks for letting us know, we hope you find something more suited to your needs". No apology, no " what could we have done to make your stay better?", essentially, " thanks for your £400, 'bye". I just can't believe the glowing reviews for this place, people must have very low expectations. We will NEVER book through you again, a complete and utter disappointment. Yours sincerely Graham & Caroline Brown

  The property was lovely.

  Only points I would make are that the property seemed to be newly refurbished or new to the holiday rental scene as a few little things were missing (even the wi-fi password written down on the welcome book/guide was wrong, I had to get the password from the router). Firstly the living room area has excellent folding patio doors but they provide very little privacy as they don't have any curtains/blinds. At times it felt a little uncomfortable when it was dark outside and you had the lights on inside. Secondly the property had very little cleaning facilities/products such as cleaning spray, hand wash/soap, washing up liquid etc... We had a young baby and a dog with us so keeping things clean became difficult and we ended up going out to buy some cleaning products. Lastly we only got 3 rolls of toilet roll for 1 weeks stay and as the property can sleep up to 6 people it's unlikely to last 2 days. Again we went out and bought some more toilet roll within the first 2 days. Overall the property was excellent and would definitely recommend to anyone and we would be happy to stay here again also.

  We loved our week at Bayview.

  The owner was very helpful ahead of our stay and was on hand if we had any questions. The property is spacious and well equipped. The games room was a big plus which set the place apart from other properties we have stayed at. The view of the sea from the front of the property was brilliant and a joy to wake up to each morning. The proximity to the beach at Polstreath is superb if you don't mind the 193 steps each way (our 4-year-old counted them!) and Mevagissey is a 10-minute walk down the hill in the opposite direction. Parking - especially if returning in the middle of the day - was sometimes a bit tricky as people seemed to use the road to park to go for a coastal walk or into Mevagissey. I would implore any future holidaymakers following their satnav to the house to not disbelieve the instruction to turn left at the Heligan crossroads on the way into Mevagissey as otherwise you'll end up right in the centre of the narrow streets of Mevagissey! We would not hesitate to recommend a stay at Bayview to anyone who wants to enjoy Cornwall.

  Spot on! Had a lovely week at Garden House with husband, 3 children & our dog.

  House is beautifully presented, loved everything about it. Even better in person than the photos suggest. Super spacious for a holiday home, really well equipped. Didn’t do much cooking as we tend to be out and about on hols but literally could have made a roast, baked etc! Home from home. We had all weathers during our stay but still managed some time in the lovely garden area - what a sun trap! Setting is idyllic - could be time of year we chose our trip but Gorran Haven is quiet, just what we like. The beach is gorgeous & just 5 mins walk away. We haven’t been to Cornwall for about 15 years as it’s a trek from North Wales so we were out showing the kids as many areas as possible. However, we could easily have chilled in the house for the week we loved it so much. Thanks Sykes for another fab holiday.

  We enjoyed our stay at the property, which is very well appointed.

  Thank you to the owners for the welcome gifts. However there was a few things that we would like to let you know needed seeing too. In the main bedroom when the wind blew there was an awful noise in the left hand corner of the roof as you were laying in bed. It wasn’t anything loose outside as we looked. It was inside the roof space a rattling which kept us awake at night. The shower in the main bathroom leaked and the door handle was broken The downstairs cloakroom lock was broken The decking area which was the main seating area was very dirty and slippery in places, (obviously not been cleaned this season) and with a child with us he was unable to play out there alone. The dishwasher was blocked and my husband had to clean it out as it was not washing properly.
