“We had a wonderful stay once more in Shore Lodge.”

Perfectly situated, comfortable, quiet, relaxing - we love this cottage. Thank you for thinking of everything.

“The location of the cottage is fantastic , however the accommodation was of a poor standard and was not as attractive as your online advertisement suggested.”

. It was shabby and grubby and definitely needs updating . .The bedding and sheets we were given to use mid stay was not a complete set for the number of guests and some of them were heavily stained so we used our own . The shower in the main bathroom did not drain and constantly overflowed. .The response from the caretaker was slow to reply via email we were told it was the design of the shower and to use Mr Muscle! The sink in the kitchen leaked and looked as if a botched repair had been carried out using brown tape. The barbecue was filthy and so we refused to use it. The TV remotes did not work We have rented many holiday rentals in the Uk and have never felt the need to add our comments and give negative feedback but on this occasion we want to express our dissatisfaction . Although rental properties in Padstow may demand a high price for their location, we feel that the standards and the management of the property should reflect the price. Shore Lodge is extremely overpriced and not worth the money.

- Ms Boulton, August 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. However, these concerns are completely inconsistent with the other overwhelmingly positive reviews for guests staying in 2021. In fact, two separate groups staying within the last two months who are regular guests in Padstow homes have independently gone as far as to comment that the house was both the best house and also their favourite place to have ever stayed in the town. The family immediately following you gave the house a glowing review. We offer, as stated, 4-star accommodation in a 'lovely family house', which as you accept, is in a fantastic location for the town, the coast and all local amenities. Perhaps you were looking for 5-star accommodation and your expectations of our home were too high? The continuing residual restrictions from the pandemic have made it more challenging to attend to matters this year, and the popularity of the house in attracting bookings has made it more difficult for us to stay in the house and run an owner's eye over it. The house has to 'work hard' coping with many visitors who are unfamiliar with it or do not always care for it as their own. Nevertheless, we are confident our caretaker and her team continue to work hard to provide an attractive home in which guests can enjoy their UK holiday this year, as indeed they have done. When you arrived in the house you emailed us straightaway to raise certain points for us to address, which, as you know, we immediately acknowledged and then took forward. Your reviews mentions yet further points, but these were not raised with us during your holiday, and you did not use the 24/7 telephone reporting service run by our caretaker which allows for anything important to be raised with her and promptly dealt with. For every guests, clean, well-laundered bedding is provided for all beds. One of the showers has a shallow angle of flow when emptying so we use Mr Muscle regularly so as to ensure the removal of anything that might restrict the flow, but it does not overflow. The TV remote controls are currently all operational: a guest had removed and not properly re-attached the HDMI lead which our caretaker could have resolved for you. All other matters you mention are fully sorted. Owner relations
Mrs Chivers July 2021

“We had a brilliant time at Shore Lodge.”

It is in a perfect situation and the house itself is so characterful, spacious and peaceful, it was a real haven, a place to enjoy being in for its own sake.

- Mrs Chivers, July 2021
Mrs Maritz July 2021

“Lovely location and Fantastic family holiday home.”

- Mrs Maritz, July 2021
Mrs Couch July 2021

“Great house very dog friendly garden Comfortable and top quality appliances Didnt want to go home”

Miss Davies June 2021

“Great location within the town of Padstow.”

Away from the hustle and bustle but within short walking distance of everything. Great rear garden space which was a fantastic sun trap. Lovely views from the upstairs window of the church and the esturary. Everything we needed was catered for. Having stayed in Padstow many times our family all agreed that it was the best accommodation we have stayed in. Many thanks If there was to be a minor critisim it would be that the TV, which was used minimally, was a little small for those of us with failing eyesight.

- Miss Davies, June 2021
Mrs Ward June 2021

“Shore Lodge was a great house and perfect for our party of eight.”

Living rooms were big enough for us to spend time together but the size of the house also allowed us to spread out. Having the garden abc parking space were really beneficial too. Padstow is a gorgeous fishing town which we have stayed in many times but this was probably our favourite of all the houses we’ve rented. It was close to the quay and pubs, restaurants, only a short walk along st Saviours lane past the monument to the beach (and amazing views) but also not far from Prideaux place and the deer park. Would definitely recommend!

- Mrs Ward, June 2021
Mr Webster May 2021

“Just back from a week's stay at Shore Lodge.”

Very impressed with the accommodation, spotlessly clean. Very homely and comfortable, great position a few minutes walk from the harbour. Tracy & Chris Webster

- Mr Webster, May 2021
Mr Prokopiou May 2021

“Spacious house ideally located in the heart of Padstow.”

Comfortable lounge and very large kitchen space. Beds and pillows were comfortable and of good quality, however, the bed linen had seen better days with closures missing off the duvet cover - to us this is key to a good quality nights sleep. Difficulty opening/closing rear bedroom window to air the room. Shame that dishwasher tablets weren’t available particularly when a bottle of wine and biscuits were kindly left for our arrival. Milk left for us had an expiry date the day we arrived! Missed access to a BBQ. Didn’t get having to remove sofa scatter cushion covers due to COVID when the whole sofa had been sat on! Communication with Sykes very lacking during 2020 - we had booked the property in October 2019 and obviously couldn’t go due to COVID. Sykes difficult to deal with in relation to this.

- Mr Prokopiou, May 2021
Mr Jones April 2021

“Had a great holiday at Shore Lodge with our dog.”

Very spacious and comfortable with all our needs catered for. Great to have a parking space in such a popular destination. Fantastic location for walking into the centre of Padstow with handy Spar shop 5 minutes walk from the property. We had lovely weather (luckily!) so spent plenty of time relaxing in the garden which was perfect in such a quiet spot.

- Mr Jones, April 2021
Mr Levin February 2020

“The house was excellent - big and very comfortable for a family holiday with the added bonus of having a car parking space.”

Also the house was 2 minutes walk from the centre of Padstow so we couldn't have been better situated. My only observation was that the house could have been a little more thoroughly checked before we arrived, bearing in mind this was not a cheap house to rent. They were only minor things but when we arrived, there was no loo seat on the loo in the main family bathroom (though there are two other loos in the house but it felt inconvenient having to go up or down stairs to the loo in the middle of the night) and the BT Vision box had disappeared when we arrived (only the remote control and instructions on how to use it were present) so we could not access any terrestrial/ freeview channels initially. As we arrived on the Saturday, nothing could be done about these matters until the beginning of the working week, though to be fair to Sykes Cottages they remedied these matters very quickly once we had contacted them about these issues. Overall, we had a very enjoyable holiday staying here and I would definitely recommend this property to rent for any families visiting Padstow.

- Mr Levin, February 2020

Thanks for the feedback and your positive recommendation following your recent stay at Shore Lodge. We're so glad that the house suited your party so well. Unfortunately, unbeknown to us one of the loo seats was apparently on the point of falling off, while the BT box had slipped off the DVD player and behind the TV. We are pleased to hear that these issues were swifty fixed once you informed the customer team. Owner relations
Kingwill February 2020

“Great accommodation and easily accommodated seven adults.”

Centrally located. Easy access to parking at Links Road parking as only one carpark out front of the house. Did not need to bring as much as we did as plenty of things provided for those wet days. Games, DVDs and books.

- Kingwill, February 2020
Mr Lomas January 2020

“Lovely cottage within easy walk of all Padstow has to offer”

- Mr Lomas, January 2020
Mr Powell September 2019

“The only slight thing to reference would be that we had 6 staying in accommodation for 8, yet we all experienced a cold shower, even though the showers are electric.”

Although not a major issue for us, not ideal for my parents staying with us whom are in their 70’s and 80’s. Other than that everything was fantastic and we would definitely stay at Shorelodge again....

- Mr Powell, September 2019

We are glad that you all had a fantastic holiday and would like to return to Shore Lodge again. The hot water for the showers is actually heated by the gas boiler which is set up to provide enough for showers for 8 people at the times of day when they are most likely to be taken. Additionally there are instructions in the house how to operate the boiler to obtain more hot water whenever it is needed. Owner relations
Mrs Roberts July 2019

“Shore Lodge proved a great base for a lovely holiday with our young adult children; spacious, light and airy, tastefully decorated and very well situated.”

We suggest the following additions to make it perfect: an outside hose to wash down wetsuits; some beds need new mattresses; better quality bed pillows; washing line and a laundry basket.

- Mrs Roberts, July 2019

Owner Response: Thanks very much for the feedback, and we are delighted to hear that the house worked so well for your family group. We regularly stay at Shore Lodge ourselves and are always on the lookout for ways in which we can make it as ‘perfect’ as you mention. Our mattresses and pillows are all from high quality outlets such as John Lewis and M&S, and each season we renew and upgrade as required. This spring for instance we updated a number of pillows with new John Lewis stock. To dry clothes there’s both a tumble dryer as well as portable racking which can be used both inside the house and outside. Owner relations
Mrs Robinson July 2019

“The house was great, we had 3 cars between us and parking was a bit of an issue, but not enough to affect the holiday at all!”

- Mrs Robinson, July 2019
Mr Tarbuck June 2019

“Great cottage.”

we had a campervan so very very tight for parking but heyho!

- Mr Tarbuck, June 2019
Mrs Pilarek June 2019

“Shore Lodge was a lovely place to stay.”

It had everything we needed and was just a five minute walk to all amenities.

- Mrs Pilarek, June 2019
Miss Daniels May 2019

“Brilliant place to stay, everything you need is there even down to a sewing kit to birthday candles, the only draw back it's a tight squeeze to get your car parked in the front so the bigger the car it may be a problem but at least there is a space, will definitely go back .”

- Miss Daniels, May 2019

***Owner Response*** We are so glad you enjoyed your holiday at Shore Lodge, and thank you for your feedback. We find it's best to reverse into the paved parking area at the front. The length of car (as well as practice!) will affect how many shunts back and forward are needed though long cars with tow bars and vans do regularly use the space. Owner relations
Mr Green May 2019

“Good time excellent cottage not very good parking with large vehicle but plenty of alternative parking in Padstow.”

- Mr Green, May 2019

Mrs Longdin January 2019

“We loved staying in Shore Lodge!”

The house was spacious, in an excellent location and was like a home from home. It had an enclosed garden which was safe for our dog to go out in. We were very cozy and comfortable staying at Shore Lodge, it really made our trip to Padstow.

- Mrs Longdin, January 2019
Mr Murray September 2018

“This is a lovely, warm and welcoming house, and the welcome is extended with some milk in the fridge and the tray set with tea things!”

It all matters! And the housekeeper is really helpful and cheerful. This is our our third year on a row at Shore Lodge and we all love it!

- Mr Murray, September 2018
Mr Mitchell September 2018

“Great location & very nice house.”

Padstow town and the beaches within a few minutes walk. Walks over the estuary and over the cliffs were stunning and invigorating. We will be back to Padstow & Shore Lodge again. Oh and the best pub food in Padstow is the Golden Lion!!
