“We found ourselves in the unfortunate position of having to find alternative accommodation at short notice as our booked hotel was not up to standard.”

The service from Sykes was great and the lady I was chatting with really went the extra mile to help us. The house she found for us was fab. Well located, well equipped, comfortable and clean. Just what we needed. Thank you for solving our crisis and saving our holiday.

“House needs a lot of work doing to it like windows need sorting out as in every room at least 1 pane had blown needs pots and pans renewing as some of them were disgusting downstairs toilet lock did not work lucky we were all family garden very untidy Door from kitchen to conservatory did not lock light or fan in conservatory did not work.”

Getting key code needs to be done in a different way was given a telephone number to ring a couple of days before arrival kept ringing no response had to phone Sykes who gave us the owner mobile who turned out was in Jerusalem.

The owner is about to commence end of season maintenance including changing the blown glass windows and replacing any damaged pots and pans The toilet was blocked by excessive toilet paper being used. The drain was cleared and all is functioning normally. The conservatory is the locking door. The fan and light work via a remote control or a cord and are functioning normally.We have amended the contact number to a mobile line which is always monitored.Thank you for bringing these points to our attention Owner relations

“It would of been helpful to have a little information booklet on arrival about things like: bin collections and how to sort the recycling.”

Overall we all had a good week, there was plenty of room for all 7 of us. The garden was relaxing to sit in.
Denby June 2019

“The cottage is very comfortable and an excellent base for walking stretches of the South West coastal path.”

It is a bit out of the centre of Newquay, 10 minute walk, but there are good restaurants at the Hotel California and the Lodge overlooking Fistral beech. However the house does have some plumbing issues. The en-suite toilet has a tendency to flush at random, making an extremely loud noise. When this happens during the night it wakes people. Very annoying especially as it has previously been reported on other reviews, but no action has been taken.
Mrs Lomas June 2019

“Conservatory door to kitchen lock not working also fan and lights not working in conservatory, not working last year either.”

Door from hall to kitchen, door handle lock missing, door bangs shut in draughts. We did have a really good week at the house and in newquay for the second year running. Would recommend it.
Mr Priest June 2019

“The house could be cleaner, the toilet in the on suit was very noisey and continually flushed when being used, the grass was mown during our stay on 21/6/19 so we could not use the garden art this time.”
Miss Kitching May 2019

“We loved our holiday and the cottage was perfect so fresh and clean and spacious ...”

We loved our holiday and the cottage was perfect so fresh and clean and spacious and the garden is lovely we would definitely come back again and recommend
Mrs Peters May 2019

“Loved this house and the location and space.”

Have booked again for next year. My only negative is that if could have been cleaner and far too much clutter around especially in the kitchen (kitchen cupboards were also in need of a clean inside) however this house suited our needs as we have toddlers and went with the grandparents. Owners we extremely helpful when we called them.
Mrs Warren November 2018

“The house would have been lovely if it had been cleaner.”

The fridge had an awful smell when we opened the door, I had to scrub the shelves where there was a sticky mess. The TV picture was awful, it kept breaking up. If you opened windows you had problems closing them as they are so old, most of the panes had blown. Major maintenance to the property is needed. Settees were very uncomfortable as were the single beds, not really suitable for adults. The outdoor shower was unusable and looked like it had been like that for sometime, so should not be in the description. Sent in first night questionnaire to Sykes about cleanliness and TV. Got home and received phone call from Sykes stating owner had sent email accusing us of taking a tartan blanket. After reading other people’s reviews on Facebook about what happens if you have complained, I went round and took photos showing how clean we had left it, cleaner than when we arrived. One photo shows the tartan blanket, but Sykes didn’t want to see it. Beware if you do complain.

Holywell 6 miles; Perranporth 8.5 miles; Truro 14 miles; Padstow 14 miles.

Newquay is the home of the UK’s surf scene, boasting three major beaches, the National Surf Centre and an endless supply of rolling surf, making it a watersports paradise. The town, with its zoo, sea life centre and varied selection of restaurants and pubs, also promises a holiday to remember. For avid walkers, the South West Coast Path passes in both directions along a stunning coastline of high cliffs, hidden coves and yet more beaches. The quaint harbour and fishing village of Padstow is just 14 miles away, while Truro, with its museums, cathedral, restaurants and cobbled streets, as well as the Eden Project, can be reached within 30 minutes. Picturesque St Ives and the Tate St Ives gallery is under an hour's drive or a train ride away. In fact, because nothing in Cornwall is far from Newquay, it’s the perfect touring base.
