What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a number of problems throughout our holiday. The front door keys were very difficult to remove from the lock, so we had to use the back door to enter and exit the property. On arrival, the internet was not working. The remote controls to the upstairs tv and set top box did not work. We were unable to access Netflix and Disney+ on the tv. The internal bathroom door handle detached from the door, leaving one of our party trapped inside. The bathroom door would only open partially, because the floor was stopping it. We had no hot water on the final three days of our holiday. This was fixed once, but was not working the next day. We had to phone about these problems on 5 of our 8 days in the property. We think it unlikely that you will include our review on the website, but we would appreciate it if you would ask the owners to consider a partial rental refund to compensate for the problems arising.

  The Old Bakery is a beautiful looking cottage and very comfortable to stay in.

  It was equipped with everything you could think off and more. All the little extras were a lovely surprise. Mary, Richard and off course poppy were fantastic host and nothing was too much trouble. I would say the best feature is the garden, my son loved it. There were places to hide, places to run and play, places to climb and best of all the river. Richard took the time to show us what was in it. There was always something new to see in the garden each day. A fantastic place for little explorers. The cottage is a little way from the beach and other attractions but it didn’t matter to us too much, as it was nice to see new places and the scenery. The shops are a 6 minute drive and about the same for a pub meal. We had a lovely time staying here and would recommend it. Thank you for a great holiday.

  A fabulous cottage, extremely clean , cosy living room , nice spacious kitchen and really comfy bed. A couple of minutes walk to the harbour. Porthleven is a beautiful place with lots of lovely places to eat and drink. We had a fantastic time . The corner deli was one of our favourites, their pizzas are amazing. The harbour Inn was good too. Amelies was a bit overpriced for what you get . Don't miss the brass band , they play opposite the harbour inn on Sunday evenings. They are really good. . We spent alot of time wandering around the Porthleven , it's so beautiful, stopping for coffee and ice creams . Look out for the local cat Reggie who always seems to be hanging out by the ice cream parlour . They even sell cards with his picture on . We had a wonderful stay , thank you

  Unfortunately the cottage did not meet the standards we usually find with a Sykes’s cottage.

  On entering we were met with a musty smell which caused us to go and purchase a Febreeze plug in. The bin in the kitchen had not been emptied. The amount of cobwebs and spiderwebs were unacceptable even for an old quirky cottage. The carpet felt spongy and moist underfoot. The view from the cottage was of a cardboard box and empty bottles full of water??? The path to the garden was obstructed by trip hazards, electrical cables being used to charge garden equipment that was being housed with no covering. Ladders left with ropes against trees and a plugged in chainsaw in the grass. We have an adventurous 10 year old who is disciplined and is very aware of danger but not sure every child would not have found these tools as toys! Unfortunately would not recommend at this time.

  The property is lovely, very well looked after and furnished beautifully. The service has been amazing with constant updates and reminders with very clear instructions. The folder in the flat is full of useful information. TV had lots of channels to watch. Parking is very difficult, with limited spaces I'd recommend reversing down of you can, you can also book car parking close by through the council website. Dogs are only allowed on the beach between 6pm and 10am (fine of £80-£1000). Beach is very close by, be prepared to walk up a steep incline (if you have disabled or pish chairs etc). Driving around St Ives is very busy, if you can I'd recommend using a taxi service(I used A1 taxis, downloaded their app) the train station and bus stops are also very close by.
