  We had a lovely stay at Trebarwith Strand.

  Well suited to a couple who like walking/swimming. Good access to beach/coastal path. At low-mid tide the beach is good for bodyboarding if the swell is up, or swimming if not (lifeguards are present during the summer season 10am-6pm). Worth noting that the beach is covered from mid-high tide and although we saw some people swimming, you would have to be quite confident to swim off the rocks. Nice to sit on the rocks and watch the waves though. Nice food at the local pub and the surf shop sells lots of beach/swimming/surfing equiptment. The cottage is a good size for 2 people, comfortable and equipped with most of what you would need in terms of cooking equipment. The only downsides are that 1) (as noted in other reviews) the shower isn't very powerful and the height cannot be adjusted (but if you keep it on ECO, you don't get the temperature surges that others have noted), 2) there isn't any outside space for drying towels/swimming stuff or an airer for doing so inside (we hung them over the wall of the carpark opposite) and 3) the cheaper carpark is 3 minutes walk up the hill. Important note about the council car park: it is free overnight, but they no longer sell weekly tickets at the carpark, just monthly or day rates (the information on the council website is out of date). None of those issues spoilt our holiday, but we would recommend taking steps to mimimise the impact of the first two points (perhaps by fixing the shower head fitting and providing an airer) and updating the booking infomation on the third would have meant we enjoyed the stay even more.

  It was a very nicely decorated and comfortable cottage with a beautiful garden overlooking the sea at Tintagel.

  Unfortunately there was no internet access, and even though it didn't bother us too much the owners should have been honest about this before our arrival. We cannot fault the hospitality upon arrival and the "treat box" that had been prepared for us. My husband and I have stayed in other Sykes Cottages where there's been a folder with information about the workings of appliances, and a brief overview about the local area. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the hobs on the oven to work properly and are not familiar with heat conducting pans and saucepans. Suffice to say we ate out every night, as to plough through instruction manuals to understand the workings of equipment was not our idea of a holiday!! we ended up heating things up in the microwave. This would've been a problem if we'd been staying at the barn for longer. An ironing board, iron and hairdryer would've also been a useful addition. Apart from this my husband and I did enjoy our peaceful and restful stay in this rural location. I hope our observations will be useful for the owners, and if these small improvements were made this would be a very sought after little nook.

  We already fed back regarding extra hooks in the bathroom for long dressing gowns and a grab rail in the shower to avoid slips.

  The apartment was modern and well appointed and in a great position for exploring. The car parking was great and everything there we needed. A small bottle of milk would have been appreciated upon arrival. There was plenty of washing up liquid and soap etc but no salt, cooking oil or tea bags so be prepared and bring your own. Village shops expensive as expected. There is a Lidl and Aldi in Wadebridge to get groceries for the week if required. We are two older ladies so the visit to Tintagel Castle on the first day proved exhausting and really too much for us although enjoyable we suffered for the rest of the week with sciatica and aches and pains ... be warned! Local pubs are good but food very expensive so we cooked in the apartment. There are good facilities including a big Wok like pan that was great. We had a week and still didn't explore all the local little shops or even the Arthurian Centre with was only across the road! There is a lot to do round and about and if you are fit and like to walk you will love it. Ideal base for exploring.

  The location of the cottage was excellent, a short walk to the beach.

  The Interior of the cottage was stylish with modern kitchen items and beautiful artwork on the walls, the washer/dryer was a bonus and the oven and hob and microwave were new and clean. We had purchased the Rover parking as detailed in the brochure for £47.00 this enabled us to park all week and go out every day and park on the Long stay car parks without any extra charge. Many dog walkers tried to use the bin for their disposal, we then understood why it had a lock on it!. The property welcomes dogs, we do not have dogs, I experienced some difficulty with my breathing as I can be allergic to dogs, this may be a consideration for the future when booking. This property is a little gem.

  We loved the cottage.

  The he location is amazing, the kitchen well equipped, lovely comfy bed and great wood burner. The broadband is extremely poor and kept going and staying off for hours which meant we couldn’t go online ( to make bookings and research places to go during our stay) It made it quite difficult in this day and age and during this COVID climate where online bookings are the way. It made it hard to watch the tv too (the weather was a bit rubbish in the evenings so we would have enjoyed the opportunity to watch it at times). It would be good for your future customers to fix this. However overall we loved our stay. Thank you for a fantastic holiday.
