What our customers say about their holidays

  His is the first time that I have been disappointed with a Sykes holiday cottage, and I have been using your company for many years.

  When we arrived on late on Saturday afternoon we noticed that both bathroom windows had been left open, the reason for this became perfectly clear the following morning as there was a vile smell that pervaded throughout the upstairs rooms, but was particularly unpleasant in the bathroom. So on the Sunday we bought some air freshener, but this only took the edge off it, although did prevent it spreading beyond the bathroom. On the Monday, I bought some drain cleaner/unblocker and poured it down the sink, this I left for 4 hours and then rinsed with hot water. Finally by around Thursday, the smell was all but gone. You have to understand that the smell was so awful it made me want to vomit. I have never known such a terrible pong, and i have worked in some pretty smelly places. So to the rest of the cottage, mostly it was alright, although we did think that the kitchen was a bit under supplied with cupboard space. The clock wasn't working, so we put a new battery in it, a light bulb went pop in the lounge so I had to change this too. The outside light didn't work, which didn't make for easy access in the dark due to all the steps. We used the washing machine mid week but then found that there was rather a limited number of pegs! The hot tub wasn't especially clean, with bits of the cover and flies floating in it whenever we used it. Certainly not upto our usual standard of holiday stays. Thankfully we enjoyed good weather when we were down for our fortnight, so we were able not to have to spend too long in the cottage. That said, we did like how the fence shielded you from the road noise. The walk to the cliff top was nice, and the views along the coast were spectacular at sunset. One of the positives of our stay were the guide books, as we like to do a fair number of walks, the local one through Tehidy was quite pleasant. It was nice to get the welcome hamper on arrival and to have milk in the fridge. I think my only other quibble was that it was very hard to get out onto the road as it is totally blind pulling out of the drive. If there was a mirror opposite it would make life far easier. Would I stay here again? Absolutely not. Especially for the money that we paid. I have stayed in far nicer holiday cottages in Devon and Cornwall and will not be returning to this one.

  We have had such a lovely time at the cottage it was so warm and welcoming the little extra touches made all the difference thanks to the hosts for the flowers biscuits and bottle of prosecco, also it was lovely to get there and have tea coffee and milk there to have a brew after such a long journey , the hot tub was also amazing, Jack was lovely and gave us details of beaches to visit and told us we could use the lane at the back of the farm to walk to the cliffs which was lovely with the dogs, the garden was very secure which made us feel relaxed that we could let the dogs out and the extra treat of their own gelato ice cream from the farm shop was delicious I have already recommended it to my friends and family thanks for a great holiday

  This is an absolutely fantastic property which we really enjoyed staying at.

  The owners are so welcoming and friendly and the farm the property is situated on is stunning. The house was comfortable and clean, the decor superb and had everything we needed for a fantastic holiday in Cornwall. It’s also so close to Portreath beach which really made it so much easier with small children and our dog. The garden, BBQ and Hot tub are also amazing and we were really impressed with the standard of maintenance of the hot tub. Thank you for paying such attention to detail to all of the small things too which make a massive difference such as plenty of towels, a washing machine, cleaning products etc. We will definitely be back to stay!

  Our stay at Bay View was perfect.

  So well equipped and comfortable. A couple of small cleaning issues,mostly in the bathrooms,but easily sorted. Bed so comfortable. The amazing hot tub was very well used by us,gazing at the stars and super moon,what more can you ask for!, We are moving to Cornwall hopefully in the next two months but would certainly recommend staying here at Bay View as the whole complex is so well maintained. Thankyou for making our stay so perfect

  A lovely quiet area with stunning coastal walks on your doorstep.

  Clean and comfortable. Kids (and adults) loved the hot tub. I would recommend the property but we had big problems with Sykes. We had to miss the first day of our stay since Sykes did not get back to us about how to enter the property. This was despite calls, live chat and emails. They are not easy to get hold of. I am still awaiting a reply from their email customer service once we finally found it.
