“Very disappointed in the cleanliness.”

Cobwebs everywhere. Spent 2 hours cleaning. Dirty dishes and cutlery. Spiders in every room. Hair on sofa cushions. Hairs in main bed. Back off remote. Crack in sink in main bathroom. Under fridge was filthy. Tablet and wrapper under sofas. Photos sent on email. No response from Sykes as yet. Once cleaned, it is fine.

“The house was clean and well equipped.”

Our only criticism of the kitchen would be that the fridge temperature was far too low. We had to waste food,in particular it was freezing salad items!! It didn't improve by altering the dial in the fridge! There were also 2 lamps not working, one in the lounge and one in the ensuite attached to the double bedroom. Also, the water in the shower tray was very slow to drain away. We have used Sykes on several occasions now but after our experience with changing the date for this latest holiday, we do wonder if we could now recomend it to our friends. We have also seen several bad reports about properties and are surprised not to see any response from the company.
Mrs Kendrick July 2019

“A lovely cottage with beautiful scenery.”

There was no code for the pool facilities in the book but the bar staff allowed us in. The cottage itself was comfortable. I was surprised to see cream carpet in a dog friendly cottage and possibly alternative, wipeable flooring would have been better. There were some stains on the carpet when we arrived but apart from that it was nice and clean. The bed sheets didn’t appear to fit the one double bed and kept moving whilst we were sleeping, possibly fitted sheets would have been better than flat sheets. The curtains were cream in the bedroom and allowed floods of light in at dawn, possibly darker curtains or black out blinds would help to provide better sleep for clients. The water system was quite old and there wasn’t enough water for 6 people to shower daily unless we used the boost button. We had a lovely time exploring Falmouth and would consider coming back, it would have been nice to see more character within the cottage, the decor was very bland.

“The 3 bedroom cottage is spacious and has everything you need for a holiday and more.”

The beds are comfy (if bouncy) and the showers are powerful if you want them to be.The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cutlery, wash cloths and dish towels, even lasagne dishes and a slow cooker. The sun reaches the deck late morning and bathes it all afternoon until about 6pm. Another couple of folding chairs separate to the table/bench would have allowed better sunbathing opportunities. The only other drawback was the lack of dishwasher tablets - sorry we forgot to set it going as we left, with the last tablet! For those who want to holiday with dogs, the local beaches do not allow dogs between Easter Day and 1 October each year. The closest beach to reach on foot is Maenporth, but this is not easily reached - access is via a narrow twisty road with no pavements, distance of about 1 mile each way.

“A lovely house with a homely feel, well positioned for our activities during our holiday.”
Mr Hughes June 2019

“Heron,s Reach is set in a lovely location.”

The property is very well equipped with everything one needs for a lovely holiday. One thing I would say was missing was a visitors book these can be really useful as visitors leave comments about best places to eat etc. would recommend this property to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday with beaches near bye.
Mrs Monks October 2018

“The property wasn’t clean, there were visible signs and smells of dogs and the contact details of the caretaker given to us by yourselves was incorrect; I contacted the previous caretaker who wasn’t happy that her details were still on the system.”

After contacting the correct person, the property was re-cleaned but was still not of a high standard and the mixup was very disappointing.
Ms Pugh September 2018

“Spotlessly clean, hygienic and fresh; our accommodation was perfect!”

Would highly recommend Herons Reach. It had everything you could need for a holiday. The house was so large, warm, comfy and just like being at home. Set in beautiful grounds, it was faultless!
Mr Bailey July 2018

“The holiday home had everything we could have wished for and was in a superb location near to some of our favourite places around Falmouth including Swanpool and Gylly beaches and the main Falmouth town centre.”

We loved the stream flowing outside our accommodation and the decking area overlooking it. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen fully equipped. The splash pool was a nice surprise, our little 5 month old granddaughter loved it :) Would highly recommend a stay here!
Mr Legband July 2018

“All perfect, I am Brazilian and I have been in many beautiful places and for sure this is one of them, I recommend 100%.”
Mrs Hadfield May 2018

“Heron's reach was lovely, peaceful location by the stream.”

The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped and we appreciated the baking equipment. We had a problem with lack of towels which was resolved after the weekend. We chose the location based on the information that the beach was within walking distance however the walk is longer than suggested, very hilly and along a narrow Road mostly without a footpath. Whilst this was manageable for us it may not be for others. The information in the property suggests that the bar on site is closed however we eventually discovered it is in fact open. All in all a lovely property and location that we would like to return to
Dutton May 2018

“We had a fantastic holiday!”

! We know Falmouth very well as we studied here last year but looking through the pack provided about where to go and best beaches etc, it was very accurate and we agreed with everything! There were a couple of things that we thought would have made the stay that little bit more comfortable and they were: - To provide hand soap in the bathrooms, we had to buy our own. - Provide hand towels in the bathrooms, we had to use the shower towels provided, sometimes a little inconvenient. -Provide more dishwasher tablets, washing up on holiday is the last thing you want to do, but we had to wash up a few things as we didn't have enough tablets. - A few spare rolls of toilet paper, we had to top up on this. With 6 people it goes quite quickly. These are just some very minor things and it didn't spoil our holiday in the slightest but was just something that popped up on our stay! Thank you so much!
