“A return stay for us here.”

Excellent facilities - everything you could need plus a cream tea on arrival!

Excellent facilities - everything you could need plus a cream tea on arrival! Lovely quiet area too. Perfect to get away from it all for a while. Mullion village is a short walk away with shops & pubs etc. Highly recommended!

Mrs Everitt July 2021

“We had a lovely weeks stay at The Boathouse and can not fault the cleanliness and facilities of the property.”

The kitchen is very well stocked, there was nothing we would have needed. The cream tea on arrival and fresh flowers were a lovely touch. The bathroom, although small, had a lovely large powerful shower which was very welcomed. The owner emailed while we were there to make sure everything was satisfactory. One area that does let the property down is the outside space - the listing states there’s a garden/patio but what it doesn’t say is it’s on the gravel driveway in the front garden. There is nowhere private to sit. It is a private estate so there is no through traffic, but not somewhere you’d want to sit in your pjs with a morning cuppa - residents were coming and going as were a few delivery vans. There were some wooden chairs to sit on but no table if you ever wanted to eat outside. The property is also quite dark as there were no low level windows to look out of. There are French windows in the bedroom, but again, they face the front of the property and the car parking, so we always felt we wanted them closed so that people couldn’t see in. This was the same for the main living area, the front door is all glass, but again faces the road so we kept it closed as you have to walk through the kitchen/living area from the bathroom to the bedroom and when the lights were on, which they always were because it was dark, you could see right into the living space. Overall, we did enjoy our stay, and if you don’t want any down time in a private garden in between days out, then this property is ideal.

Mr Wagg July 2021

“Beautiful property with everything you would want supplied.”

Mrs Hancock April 2021

“The Boathouse was ver well designed and spotlessly clean ...”

The Boathouse was ver well designed and spotlessly clean The best kitchen equipment I have ever experienced The vases of fresh flowers and the cream tea were delightful The owner was very caring and helpful

Mrs Ford October 2020

“It would have been nice to have somewhere to sit outside”

- Mrs Ford, October 2020
Mrs Walker October 2020

“The Boathouse was very comfortable and in a perfect location for exploring Cornwall.”

It’s about a 20 minute walk to Pollurian Cove and a little further to Mullion Cove. Trienet really made us feel welcome with a cream tea on arrival and she even left us a card and flowers for our wedding anniversary. She also took the time to research restaurants that might be suitable for a celebration. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment which meant we could do some baking on the rainy days. The COVID cleaning was also excellent and we felt very safe when we were there. We didn’t want to leave!

- Mrs Walker, October 2020
Mrs Gosling-Smith September 2020

“Beautiful accommodation, very spacious for two people.”

The Boat House is very well situated for visiting many places in the area. Mullion village is walkable, with 2 pubs, shops and chemist.Great pub at Gunwalloe, very good menu especially fish dishes. Wonderful views of the sea. Also recommended the little cafe overlooking the sea at the Lizard. Great place to watch the seals! We had a very comfortable and relaxing holiday at the Boat House, a pleasure to come home to after a day exploring the local area.

- Mrs Gosling-Smith, September 2020
Mrs George September 2020

“The Boathouse is an exceptionally comfortable place to stay.”

Very spacious and well furnished. We also appreciated the trouble that the owners had gone to with extra cleaning for COVID-19. We enjoyed the short walk into the village and down to the sea. Had a lovely week walking, exploring the Lizard and visiting the seals at Gweek!

- Mrs George, September 2020
Mr Brown August 2020

“The cottage was immaculately prepared and thoughtfully laid out.”

We would certainly consider staying again if we were in the area.

- Mr Brown, August 2020
Mrs Wells August 2020

“We throughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely rebook.”

It would be even better if... There were two front door keys. The cream carpet at the front door is nice but isn’t practical. A full length mirror in the bedroom. It was a lovely welcome with the cream tea on arrival. A great location to lots of amenities in the area.

- Mrs Wells, August 2020
Mr Clayton July 2020

“The accommodation was exceptional, the owner was helpful but not intrusive, the location was very good.”

- Mr Clayton, July 2020
Mr Peacock July 2020

“This property is excellent and the owners were most helpful.”

We would book again.

- Mr Peacock, July 2020
Mr Koasha October 2019

“Really a good location.”

Relaxing and peaceful, loved the special welcome touches at the Boathouse. We will definitely consider going back.

- Mr Koasha, October 2019
Mr Williams October 2019

“An excellent base to explore the tip of Cornwall.”

- Mr Williams, October 2019
Mrs McCauley September 2019

“Accommodation exceeded expections lovely and comfy large lounge, modern kitchen and larger than usual bedroom with a very comfortable bed.”

We really appreciated the additional extras such as tea coffee and sugar, the bag of toiletries, fruit, fresh flowers, chocolates and the lovely cornish tea. The only thing thing we were a little disappointed in was the patio area on blue metal in the car park with little privacy.

- Mrs McCauley, September 2019
Mr Cowgill July 2019

“Did what it said on the tin, Host very accommodating .”

***** 5 Star

- Mr Cowgill, July 2019
Mrs Hall July 2019

“The Boathouse was beautifully furnished and had everything you needed.”

Also the additional touches of the cream tea, biscuits, milk, fruit and sweets were very thoughtful

- Mrs Hall, July 2019
Ms Elkins May 2019

“Accommodation was incredible , mullion cove and surrounding coves were stunning”

- Ms Elkins, May 2019

- Mrs Bligh, February 2019
Mrs Schooler January 2019

“Lovely place to stay.”

Decorated and furnished to a beautiful standard. In a good location. We were made to feel very welcome.

- Mrs Schooler, January 2019
Mr Pearson August 2018

“The Boathouse is on a small private gated estate of just a few houses so is very quiet and parking very easy.”

The welcoming cream tea was a nice touch after a long day on the road as was the bottle of wine for “afters”. Property is very well maintained and owners are fastidious in sorting out any issues being only next door to the rental. While we were there the bathroom radiator had a small leak and the owner had the plumber sort it the very next day. We mostly chose to use the local buses to get around and although they struggle to keep to their timetables we did manage to get to most places we set out for. The nearest bus stops are only a minute walk just by the local school and if you ask the drivers they’ll even drop you by the gate. The village has a couple of shops that cater for all your provisions should you wish to leave the car on the drive and should you fancy eating out there’s a couple of pubs and restaurants. If more choice is needed then a short drive to Helston will provide that with more restaurants and the usual selection of supermarkets. We had a lovely stay and would recommend the Boathouse for couples/singles who like peace and quiet to relax after a day out exploring.

- Mr Pearson, August 2018
Mr Head July 2018

“Spotlessly clean, well equipped and conveniently located on the outskirts of the village.”

Less than 10 minute walk to pubs and shops. Fantastic beaches within easy reach and a good base from which to explore the Lizard and surrounding area. As described and exceeded my expectations.

- Mr Head, July 2018
Mr Hurn June 2018

“This is the third year that we have been to the Boathouse, & we have booked for next year.”

It is always immaculate. The fixtures & fittings are of an extremely high standard. Just love this place. We have 2/3 holidays a year with Sykes & this is by far the best.

- Mr Hurn, June 2018
Mr Courtenay May 2018

“This is a good base to explore the lizard area of Cornwall with quite easy access to most of west Cornwall.”

There is a pub (The Old Inn) within a 20 minute walk that serves good beer and nice meals and a local spar shop and a small boots pharmacy. Would have liked a secluded area to sit if we had stayed there during the evening but with a great walk and the pub only a short distance away it wasn't a big issue. Would certainly stay here again. The owner left us a lovely cream tea for our arrival and was very approachable and gave us some good local information.

- Mr Courtenay, May 2018
Mr Marles November 2017

“Fantastic apartment located in a perfect position for exploring the beautiful coastline.”

Kynance Cove is a must !

- Mr Marles, November 2017
Mr Lawrence October 2017

“We had a wonderful stay thanks to the owner's little extra touches.”

The property was very well presented and clean. We met the owner during our stay and she was very friendly and offered help if needed.

- Mr Lawrence, October 2017
Mrs Mason August 2017

“The holiday cottage was lovely although the area it is in doesn't have a great deal to offer in the evenings.”

We took a walk to the village to have a meal but it was terrible. So other than that you would need to drive. The cottage was clean and had everything you need. We would have rebooked but a price hike of over £150 for a week is shocking. I couldn't justify that kind of money in the area it is. Very disappointed.

- Mrs Mason, August 2017
Mr Currie June 2017

“The cream tea, flowers, and chocolates, were the icing on the cake stunning property very quite.”

- Mr Currie, June 2017
Mr Hurn June 2017

“This cottage is outstanding in every aspect.”

So much so that we have booked for the third year running. The cleanliness, cosiness the luxurious touchs that the owners leave, makes for a wonderful stay into a fantastic one.

- Mr Hurn, June 2017
Mr Wing April 2017

“The Boat House is very modern property in an excellent location ideal for exploring the Lizard Peninsula and beyond.”

The property is well appointed, warm, spotlessly clean, and it is located in a private courtyard with adequate parking. In additional to all this the owners are very friendly and accommodating, we can thoroughly recommend it.

- Mr Wing, April 2017
Mrs Hanger April 2017

“The Boathouse had high quality bed lining and towels, the crockery and kitchen utensils were high quality too.”

The cottage was spotless and the host had left us 4 vases of fresh flowers, a bowl of fruit, a bowl of Easter eggs, two individual Easter eggs and two cream teas WOW The village has two pubs that sell good food and we were welcomed in both, they are 5 minutes walk away but would recommend a torch for walking home. The village also has a curry house and a fish & chip shop. We had a relaxing, comfortable 8 day holiday, the Boathouse is well placed to reach many parts of Cornwall by foot or road. I would highly recommend this cottage and we will be returning.

- Mrs Hanger, April 2017
Mr Barber March 2017

“The location was great and the accommodation was comfortable, very clean & tidy.”

The icing on the cake was a cream tea laid out for us on arrival.

- Mr Barber, March 2017
Mr Freeman March 2017

“It was a really enjoyable break in very comfortable and excellent accommodation.”

The welcoming flowers and Cornish cream tea was gratefully enjoyed aftera long journey getting there. Could'nt fault it -' it was everything it said on the can'.

- Mr Freeman, March 2017
Mr Morrow November 2016

“Excellent accommodation and location, perfect for those wishing to get away from stress of hectic life!”

- Mr Morrow, November 2016
Mrs Amber September 2016

“The property was bigger than expected; while the pictures on the website are accurate they do not give the correct impression of size - the property is very spacious.”

It is also set within a gated community and is set back so you do not see it until you drive in. The owner had set out a cream tea for us to have on our arrival even filling the kettle, which was a lovely touch as was the beautiful white lilies and the box of after eight chocolates (I love after eights!). The scent from the lilies stayed with us all week and was gorgeous. The location, though initially felt a bit off the beaten track, was actually quite a good location for getting to almost everywhere. We never spent more than 1.5 hours getting to our furthest destinations. We travelled to the Lizard (very close), Land's End, St Michael's Mount, St Ives, Padstow, St Mawes, Portreath, Falmouth, Penzance and places inbetween. The roads can be quite steep and hilly with some tight bends, if you are used to country lanes then you will be okay navigating around.

- Mrs Amber, September 2016
Mr Bloxwich September 2016

“The only problem that we had was that there was no access to an outside bin and the rubbish was not dealt with every day.”

Apart from this everything was as specified in the brochure.

- Mr Bloxwich, September 2016
Mr Hurn June 2016

“It was so nice to see a property that was so clean, tidy & well equipped.”

The absolute bonus was that we had WiFi. The small touches were very luxurious. It was so special that we have already booked again for next year.

- Mr Hurn, June 2016
Mr Williams May 2016

“The entire experience was excellent.”

My wife and I really couldn't fault anything. A real home from home and probably the most comfortable and stress free holiday we've had for years. This property is a credit to the owners who were also brilliant.

- Mr Williams, May 2016
Mrs Nicholas February 2016

“The Boat House was perfect for a stay for the 2 of us.”

The property was modern and very clean and in a very good location for going out and exploring the Cornish coast. We would definitely consider staying again.

- Mrs Nicholas, February 2016
Mrs Stacey September 2015

“The cottage was spotlessly clean & faultless.”

The area was beautiful, stunning coves, amazing coastal walks & the peace & quite all made for a relaxing break. No light pollution made the star gazing magical. We loved it & we will go again.

- Mrs Stacey, September 2015
Mrs Morgan August 2015

“An excellent first class apartment with a homely, relaxing feel to it.”

We were surprised at how near many of the places of interest were including the numerous coves in the area, and felt a one week stay was not enough. Wonderful hospitality was shown to us by the owners - a perfect holiday.

- Mrs Morgan, August 2015
Mrs Phillips August 2015

“The property is conveniently placed for visiting several areas of outstanding beauty by car.”

It is a stylish and very comfortable accommodation. The owner is extremely pleasant, gave us a very warm welcome and made it clear that she was there to help at any time.
