Mrs Hassall
June 2021

“We had the best stay.”

The owners were so welcoming and made us feel so at ease. The extra little touches for both the humans and the dog were a welcomed treat. The cottage setting was so tranquil and those taking pets it was lovely to know that you could let your dog go out freely knowing the huge garden was secure. I would book again today for tomorrow but sadly the current owners have sold. I hope to see this property back on for holiday bookings ASAP though as I can’t wait to go back.

“Excellent location for dramatic coastal walks and beaches.”

Cottage was pristine and very comfortable. A real bonus was the swimming pool which was bigger than expected. Cottage set in lovely grounds, nice to sit outside with a cup of tea after a long walk. Also loved seeing the cows in the field behind the cottage. Would definitely like to return to this lovely place.

With information on things to do and see and just had a genuine warmth.

Paul and Julie are fantastic.

Mr Hodges August 2020

“Often a holiday property is not as good as the description or pictures.”

But Camelia was far nicer than we anticipated. Its location, cleanliness, facilities, state of repair and the grounds within which it sits were all amazing

- Mr Hodges, August 2020
Mr Brindley February 2020

“Camelia was an ideal holiday property in a central position to visit all of southern Cornwall's attractions and coastline.”

The property itself lacks nothing and is extremely comfortable with hosts Paul and Julie being very friendly without being intrusive. Despite the weather we had a great holiday.

“This holiday let is a little gem.”

So comfortable with everything you need. Set in beautiful surroundings , so peaceful and relaxing just what we needed. Julie and Paul are delightful. So friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be returning.

Mr Sawlbury September 2019

“Myself, husband and fur baby Thimble had a lovely time in our little cottage Camellia.”

We had a friendly arrival from Paul and Julie. Our cottage was lovely and clean and we enjoyed the fresh cakes and arrival. Thimble enjoyed her doggy treats to. Flo the dog was a burst of energy who would always come and say Hello to us and thimble and shared her toys with Thimble too. It was a lovely place to stay and sit back and relax away from the day to day life. We would highly recommend this place to everyone.

- Mr Sawlbury, September 2019
Mrs Belton August 2019

“Camellia at Sancreed House is absolutely gorgeous.”

Hosts Julie and Paul are so welcoming and have created a quiet oasis to stay in away from the crowds but within 10 miles of beaches etc. The cottage is spotless and provides everything needed for a comfortable 'home from home' holiday. Our dog had the grounds to explore and the swimming pool was an added bonus to enjoy at any time of the day. We would return at anytime of the year and could not recommend it highly enough.

- Mrs Belton, August 2019
Mrs Jegen August 2019

“We found the cottage ideally located für exploring the south-east of Cornwall.”

Penzance was just around the corner and beaches to the South, East and North were quick to reach. We loved the cottage which was newly and tastefully renovated. The place is equipped with everything one would need for a longer stay (fully equipped kitchen, TV, washing machine/dryer). The fireplace is a nice addition for colder evenings. A special touch, and nice surprise, was the Prosecco and the little cakes with which we were welcomed. The contact with Julie and Paul, the host, was easy and they had always some good recommendations for a discovery, walk or run.

- Mrs Jegen, August 2019
Mrs Cass August 2019

“We arrived in torrential rain but were warmly greeted by the owners and shown everything we needed to know in detail.”

The accommodation was beautifully presented, clean and the little touches of flowers, prosecco and cake made it very special. A lot of information provided on the local area by both the owners and literature provided in the cottage. The dog-friendliness was great. Our dog and owner's had a wonderful time - so much so, Charlie didn't want to come home! I would highly recommend this property.

- Mrs Cass, August 2019
Mrs Radford July 2019

“The cottage was lovely.”

Julie left milk, cakes and prosecco as a welcome gift. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay.

- Mrs Radford, July 2019
Mrs Wise July 2019

“As we had always had hotel holidays abroad, a self catering cottage was an unknown experience.”

We now have a little dog,Taffy, so we were looking for a holiday that included him. I had never heard of Sykes Cottages so when I googled our favoured area, Penzance, Cornwall and this cottage came up, the photos sold it to us. When we arrived tired after a journey in horrendous rain, the warm welcome that we received from Paul and Julie (the owners) and the interior of the cottage that was just like the photos and 'sqeaky' clean, made our journey worthwhile. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage after spending an enjoyable relaxing week here.

- Mrs Wise, July 2019
Mrs Weston July 2019

“This accommodation is superb in every way.”

The area surrounding is not only beautiful but has an aura of spiritual calm and gentleness. Our hosts who live in the Manor House are friendly, helpful, generous and happy people. Our cottage was a dream come true.

- Mrs Weston, July 2019
Mr Shrimpton July 2019

Mr Harvey June 2019

“Well presented cottage with everything you need for a week away.”

Swimming pool is maintained at a comfortable temperature and it is a nice place to swim and relax. Lots of things to do and see in the local area. Julie & Paul made us feel very welcome throughout our stay and we loved the visits from your dog who got on very well with our small dog Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit Cornwall

- Mr Harvey, June 2019
Mrs Maloney June 2019

“We have had a great week and our cottage was excellent and Julie and Paul made us feel so welcome.”

Every detail had been thought of making it a very comfy week. Ideal location for visiting all the local beaches and we would definitely go back.

- Mrs Maloney, June 2019
Mrs Browning May 2019

“This is a gem of a place.”

We appreciated the cakes and prosecco on our arrival and the friendly warm welcome of owners Julie and Paul - and the cocker spaniel. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. The location and exceptional standard of our cottage was superb - very well proportioned and equipped purpose-built accommodation. The lovely gardens and indoor heated swimming pool completed the picture. We had a lovely week and would highly recommend Camellia cottage. We would definitely make a return visit.

- Mrs Browning, May 2019
Mr Smith May 2019

“The cottage was new and we were the first to be in it, the owners Paul and Julia and their dog were very welcoming, the cottage was well equipped there was everything you needed for a stay all we had to supply was our food for the week, the pool on site was very clean and a great asset and was available to us personally at a certain time of day as it was for the other guests.”

The whole area is tranquil and peaceful and was easy to just chill out, the local walks were not too challenging and took you to an iron age settlement and hill fort very interesting and are within easy reach of Sancreed house as are all the main attractions in the area, we can recommend this great self-catering holiday.

Penzance hosts Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival. There are also The Exchange, Newlyn and Penlee Art Galleries. One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas is the spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, the coastline hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves as well as winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by a causeway to the shore at Marazion is the National Trust’s stunningly beautiful St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens. Walk across at low water and take one of the ferry boats back when the tide is up. Penzance with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as it is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Isles of Scilly as well as being the harbor. The South West Coast Path passing through Penzance winds its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End. On the way, stop off for a coffee and a rest at beautiful Lamorna Cove, explore the open air Minack Theatre and marvel at the cliffs as you approach Gwennap Head. A stunning walk for those seeking solitude, exercise and some of the UK’s best coastal scenery. Penzance is the perfect holiday base. Ideally placed for exploring this land of Celtic myth and legend and with enough to do and see in the immediate area to keep all the family occupied.
