  What can I say, just "wow"!

  This place is incredible, such an eye for detail has gone in to, fantastic furnishings, bathroom and kitchen. The property is in the garden of the owners, but we didn't actually meet them once so felt very private. The hedge between the cottage and their garden has grown high enough now to provide privacy from their garden, but still lets plenty sun onto the patio. The garden is completely fenced/gated so doors can be opened up and the dog could roam free, there is a small lawn area for doggy toileting and washing line. Lots of interesting tropical plants and a full herb bed for seasoning dinner and the BBQ! The cottage is very well insulated so it can get quite warm when the sun gets on it, we tried to shut curtains when we went out to keep it at bay, but you can open massive wide doors and windows when you can back to cool it down quickly. I would recommend a top sheet is provided for the bed as the duvet was very thick and so too hot, we always travel with our own, but would be a nice touch. The water pressure is also quite slow in the shower. In terms of location, it is perfect, set in farmland away from town it's so quiet and peaceful, but only a 5-10 min drive to Porthleven and and Highburrow cliff path. Also ideal location for Lands End and Lizard penninsula. We managed to find plentry of 'secret' beaches no one else was on, even in amazing warm weather, and lots of vegan food (including numerous places selling vegan ice cream for our lactose intolerant doggy, she was beyond happy!) 10 min drive to supermarket in Helston if needed.

  While the property was welcoming enough and kept in a good state to which we kept it, it was smaller than it appeared through the images advertised.

  The parking situation was a little tricky and we sadly damaged the underside of our car. It is advertised as dog friendly which it is however it is not secure at all so be careful letting your dogs outside, also the owners have several dogs themselves who wander down which is fair enough however we sadly have nervous and reactive dogs so caused us a few small issues but otherwise it is set in a nice location for dog walking. Sadly it wasn’t for us really and a further reason for the low rating was being charged £100 housekeeping bond when the property was left as we found it, the money was taken by Sykes without consulting us at all, we sadly had no chance to ask what the issue was and upon contacting them to ask for the images and evidence so we could try to see if there was anything that was indeed wrong that we had missed, I heard nothing back despite contacting them twice. As we cleaned the property before we left and returned everything to its proper place I was understandably upset to have been charged extra money without any explanation from the owners or from Sykes. For us it won’t be something we book again sadly, however I would say that if it is for a few days and you aren’t going to be in the property much then it’s not a bad place to stay. But it is not suitable for any larger dogs in my opinion there really isn’t enough space.

  Lovely cottage, great location and equipped with everything you could need during your stay.

  As per the description it is a small cottage but it does not feel it once you have settled in. It is short walk to the shops and restaurants and all Fowey has to offer. There is so much choice within Fowey we ended up eating out every night. Due to Covid restrictions you need to book a table if you are going out or else you will be disappointed! Parked in Caffa Mill every day and found a space every day. We bought a weekly rover parking ticket before we got to Fowey so could use it in Caffa Mill and every other long stay car park in Cornwall which we found really useful. A lot of thought has gone into this cottage and making it as welcoming and comfortable as it is. We hope to return and would not hesitate to stay in Serendipity again. Two things to note but did not cause us any issues at all are that the stairs are a little steep, but perfectly useable and the shower is over the bath which is very deep! We had a lovely time in Serendipity and loved it and Fowey.

  'A wonderful place to relax'   We had a lovely stay in Serendipity, it was a surprise holiday for my partner, we love Fowey, this is our second visit this year!

      Having seen a few comments recently about the cottage, I can confirm that there has been some maintenance done in Serendipity.  The bed was so comfortable, the white bedding with the lovely fur throw makes it so cosy for this time of year.  The bathroom looked very clean and we didn’t have a problem with the towels.  The kitchen is one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve seen in a holiday let.   Serendipity is a great little cottage for 2, very cosy and warm, tastefully furnished to high standards meant we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Fowey.   Good places to eat: The Ship, Pintxo and Sam’s.  We had a couple of good walks – The Hall walk from Bodinnick and the walk from Readymoney beach along the coastal path to Polkerris.   We will be back again soon to Serendipity, thank you!

  The cottage is in a stunning location which makes it.

  However, it wasn’t entirely clean, there were finger nails on the table underneath the cook books. There were also no settee cushions (only decorative ones) on the backs of the settees making for very uncomfortable seating. The mattress in the main bedroom was very uncomfortable. The hot tub was dirty (I have photographs) and so full of bubbles and chlorine (because it hadn’t been cleaned) it stung our eyes. It also ruined my silver jewellery, which I have never had a problem with wearing in a hot tub before. Again down to the amount of chlorine. My jewellery is very sentimental to me as most of it was bought as gifts from friends and family, so this I am most gutted about. Unfortunately I will not be recommending this beautiful cottage based on the above.
