  This feedback is long overdue as my father and I have been staying here for several years now and call it our home away from home.

  A truly fabulous cottage in a magical setting of woodland; perfectly situated between the town and the cove; in the heart of everything; and yet its tranquil surroundings ensure you have the most peaceful stay. The cottage itself is very large and spacious, and well equipped for everything you require...cooking, eating (at the large dining table) or outside on the rear garden terrace when that Cornish sun shines through until early evening; relaxing in the living room with a super TV, DVDs or games; even have a strum on the guitar that resides there (thank you for spurring me on to pick up my own when I returned back to normality!); two fabulous bathrooms upstairs - the en suite particularly grand! And everything else one would want to see - with that all-important parking space, along with a washing machine and clothes airers after coming back from the cove with an array of wet beach-wear.... The hosts pay particular attention to making your stay as comfortable as possible, with milk, bread, and freshly ground coffee for the coffee machine (and a bottle of champagne!) to greet you. Attention to detail is what makes all the difference. And they know exactly how to make you feel welcome. St Agnes itself is a pretty little town with everything you would want within a five minute walk of the cottage. Delicious bakeries; delicatessen; two small but well equipped supermarkets; pharmacy; butchers; and food outlets and pubs to cover all tastes and needs - including a fish and chip shop with generous portions! The cove area also offers eateries and places to sit and watch the world go by.... My particular favourite pastime - taking a coffee down to the cove first thing in the morning to watch the early morning sun appear over the cliff - if you're lucky you may see the odd seal frolicking in the surf! A real treat! Thank you for allowing my father and I a piece of this Cornish heaven. We will return for many years to come.

  The house and garden is really lovely.

  But sadly the cleanliness of the property was not great. This was nothing to do with the owners but the cleaners that are sent their by Sykescottages. Unfortunately we had exactly the same problem when we stayed in another one of the property’s on your list in at agnes. The bathrooms had not been cleaned properly, I believe maybe a very quick go over but not a full clean. Hairs left in the sink and shower. Soap marks not wiped off the shelf above the sink in the en suite and on the shelf by the window in the small bathroom. We cleaned this ourselves. Cups and plates and cutlery had not been checked as some had been out away dirty. Possible mention to the owners, if this has also been mentioned before …The twin bed mattress’s are not the most comfortable… all four people that slept in them, didn’t sleep well. This of course could be just the mattresses those four are used to… can’t please everyone! Apart from that the cottage is lovely and well stocked for everyone’s needs.

  This is a truly exquisite apartment.

  The coffee machine was a nice luxury touch for me, bean to coffee every morning. The kitchen was equipped with good quality appliances one would need. The location is fantastic, walking distance to shops and pubs, take away. The beach is walking distance and easy to go down to, but the climb up the hill was a bit tricky for my parent-in-law, they persevered and got there in the end, but the kids had no trouble skipping ahead up the hill. We have done some fantastic walks straight from the accommodation but also explored Cornwall by car as it’s a convenient location within the hours drive to most attractions in Cornwall like the Eden Project. We loved our stay, and had a lovely time, the apartment is spacious and the 3 bathrooms was a bonus and made life easier. The ground floor situation and easy access to all rooms were great for my mother-in-law as she felt safe not to navigate stairs/ steps. This is a very nice place to stay and despite the capricious weather, we had a great holiday.

  This is a very comfortable home-away -from-home, all very new and clean.

  We liked it alot and it was just as described. Our issues were small although temporarily annoying- multiple burned out light bulbs with no spares; how to get the towel bars to heat up and a definite load-size limit in the clothes washer that we learned about by experiencing a tub that wouldn't drain. Also, when medications were accidentally left behind, the rather odd reaction was to lock them in the owner's closet where they could not be retrieved unless the new vacationers were home, which caused a week's delay in returning them to us. Ultimately all these items were resolved, just a little bumpier/stress-inducing than we'd hoped. The village is lovely, so walkable! But be aware that if you want to eat dinner in a local pub on the night of arrival or really any night in August, you must book ahead. We highly recommend!

  We had a brilliant holiday at 3 Rose Cottage.

  The house is perfect for a family holiday. It was beautifully clean when we arrived, and the outside space is perfect for relaxing with the children. Only minutes from the beach and shops and with very high quality offerings from the bakery(s) butchers, cafes and pubs a stones throw from the house will keep you well satisfied for the week. Loads to do at the beach we hired surf boards with breakers surf school which was very easy and accessible and also did the North Coast kayak tour with Koru Kayaking which was outstanding. Next time I’d like to return to do more of the beautiful walks that you can access from St Agnes. All in all a great holiday house in a fab location we definitely hope to return!
