“We had a lovely week at Summercourt.”

The warm weather was a bonus. The large secure garden was great for our dog, he loved it. We loved the views & watching the swifts & swallows darting around, it's such a peaceful location. Generous fridge/freezer, very good shower, comfortable beds, TV, dishwasher & microwave straightforward to use but watch the oven; it's quite fierce, I burnt the meal on the first night! Some of the roads are quite tight, but there is hardly any traffic. Thank you, Heidi, David & Ralphy.

We arrived the place was really cold, the microwave didn’t work we put the heating on the owner complained as about the cost of the electric heating so won’t be going there we have been to some lovely places from your website, it was full of cobwebs and spiders

- Dianne, June 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We found that the heating had been set to 26°C continuously, which resulted in significantly increased energy costs. To help keep the property comfortable, we arranged for complimentary logs to be delivered for the log burner and kindly requested that the heating be set to a more reasonable temperature, such as 20°C. As the property is located in the countryside, occasional cobwebs and spiders can appear despite regular cleaning. Property Owner

“Our first stay at this property was amazing in cleanliness and facilities which is why we rebooked.”

On arrival, after 200 mile journey, there was no welcome pack. The coffee machine on the side was filthy and the oven hadn't been cleaned. The bed is low and hard and we did mention this previously. The patio furniture is in poor condition. Having said all the above, the views from the house are spectacular. The peace and tranquility wonderful. We would consider returning if things could be rectified.

- Stephen, May 2026

Thanks for your feedback and I am sorry about the cleaning issues, we will take this up with the new cleaners. Also we agree with that the patio furniture has become weathered and we have ordered new furniture to be delivered for the summer. I hope you do stay again in the future. Property Owner

“We had a lovely stay at Summercourt.”

Everything we needed was provided. We found it homely and felt really settled in even through we were only there for a week. The dogs loved running around the property enjoying the large garden. Thank you for our stay, we will definitely be back sometime soon.

- Heather, May 2026

Many thanks for your feedback, I am really glad you enjoyed your stay and the large garden and facilities. All the best. Dylan. Property Owner

Richard October 2024

“Great tranquil location, beautiful views.”

..if you want a quiet relaxing break this is the perfect place, only observation, location very rural 15 minutes of lanes to main road...bed low and would benefit from wooden flooring not carpets in living room and bedroom as dogs are allowed and the smell gets in the carpets...that's being picky but honest...we loved it there and would rebook even after our honest comments.

- Richard, October 2024

Many thanks for your comments, we are very glad you enjoyed your stay at Summercourt and appreciate your honest feedback. We hope you return someday to enjoy the tranquility and views at Summercourt. Many thanks Dylan and Jane Property Owner
Stephen September 2024

“Brilliant location and views.”

Property was very clean and well stocked with kitchen utensils and crockery. Only 2 SMALL criticisms :- 1. We were asked to separate food waste , cardboard, glass, plastics and general waste but no bags were provided (although we did search property for them). 2. The double bed was low and too firm in our opinion (a kingsize bed would easily fit and would be appreciated on our next visit)! We had no problems with either internet or mobile phones. Our stay was very restful and we look forward to our return.

- Stephen, September 2024
Geoffrey July 2024

“We enjoyed an extremely relaxing and comfortable week at Summercourt .”

The peacefulness of the location and the stunning view is just wonderful. Plenty of space outside in the well maintained garden to relax, chill and just soak up the therapeutic calmness of the countryside and vista. Inside , it is extremely well equipped , comfortable and very clean .The quality of the appliances and contents provided are all top class and state of the art modern . Despite the lovely isolation ,its only a short 20/30 min drive in either direction to the beaches , shops and holiday attractions . Great stay and look forward to returning Geoff & Anna

- Geoffrey, July 2024

Thanks for the great feedback. Really glad you enjoyed your stay. Best regards. Dylan and Jane Property Owner
Patrick June 2024

“Beautifully isolated property with stunning countryside views.”

Our dog really enjoyed the 360’ of garden to roam around in. The house itself is well decorated and the furniture and furnishings are of the greatest quality. The kitchen has everything you will need. We will definitely be rebooking soon. Please do not publish this section for the owners only. We found the double bed to be very low and the mattress hard. Also the flags to the front step need resetting as they are very lose and wobbly to step onto. Having no internet was no problem either. Thanks Pat & Kathy

- Patrick, June 2024
Carol June 2024

“Accommodation fine.”

Dog loved the garden.weather was fine. Parking facilities were excellent. The only disappointment was that there was no Wi-Fi and no DvD player plus couldn't access tv stations properly.

Jackie May 2024

“Second Visit to this delightful retreat - sitting out in the garden just to chill and enjoy the gorgeous views bliss.”

..... Accommodation is very clean & comfortable with everything provided to hand. Plenty of space for the dogs in the secure garden - just to be mindful of the adjacent fields with livestock - but lovely watching the lambs frolicking around at this time of year. Only downside is the Internet is abit intermittent.

- Jackie, May 2024

Thanks for the lovely feedback and for coming for a repeat stay. We have finally won our battle with BT bureaucracy and have the internet up and running again :) All the best. Dylan and Jane Property Owner
Alison May 2024

“There was no internet for our stay, no fault of the owner as was let down by BT numerous times.”

The cottage was in peaceful surroundings with picturesque views. The owners were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

- Alison, May 2024
Alicia April 2024

“A very comfortable home from home in the tranquil countryside.”

Lovely views across the fields and hills with Dartmoor in the distance. A great location to explore North-Eastern Cornwall. We loved our week at Summercourt.

- Alicia, April 2024
Nicolette September 2023

“We had a fantastic week at Summercourt!”

It was a much needed break from our busy lives. The cottage was very clean and everything you need was there. The view was very nice and we especially enjoyed the sheep at the field next to the house. It was very peacefully and quiet at and arround the cottage, we really enjoyed that. The weather didn't allow us to sit outside, but otherwise we certainly would have!

- Nicolette, September 2023

Many thanks for your positive feedback, so glad you enjoyed the cottage and sorry you didn’t get such good weather. Please do stay again! Many thanks Dylan Property Owner
Jackie September 2023

“A relaxing chilled break within this delightful cottage in the small hamlet with gorgeous views over the countryside.”

Everything is catered for your stay, down to the lovely homegrown vase of flowers awaiting on your arrival. Our dogs enjoyed the large secure garden with plenty of walks nearby. Would certainly recommend if you want a peaceful chilled time away.

- Jackie, September 2023

Thanks for the great feedback, it’s great you and your dogs enjoyed the stay, it’s lovely to have a big garden for them! I’m glad you managed to get some down time. All the best Dylan Property Owner
Wendy September 2023

“This was our second booking of Summercourt this year, both times for elderly relatives.”

They had a wonderful stay. The cottage was clean, calm, comfortable, light and well equipped. The views are amazing and they made full use of the lovely outside space and spent hours watching the sheep and lambs in the next field. Their dog was safe and happy in the garden. The only downside of their fortnight was having to leave on the last day, and they are already talking about booking early in 2024. Thank you again!

- Wendy, September 2023

Thanks for the excellent feedback Wendy, so glad your family enjoyed the stay once again. We hope they do come again and enjoy the view for a few more weeks! All the best Dylan Property Owner
Wendy May 2023

“We booked Summercourt for elderly relatives and they had a wonderful stay.”

The cottage was light, warm, welcoming, clean and comfortable and the views captivating. They were reluctant to leave on the last morning and have already asked us to rebook for them.

- Wendy, May 2023

Thanks for the lovely feedback Wendy! Your family are welcome back anytime. All the best. Dylan Property Owner
John October 2022

“Great place great views every t6hing you want just one little thing would be good if towels were provided.”

.Will come back again hopefully have been coming to Cornwall for 30 years property def.. in top 5..

- John, October 2022

Many thanks for your lovely comments, and understood about the towels. Top 5 in 30 years is high praise indeed. We hope you come again next year! Property Owner
David September 2022

“Cottage is comfortable with views to die for.”

There should be some separate notices printed near appliances such as the electric hob and heating controls to keep it simple and cost effective. Searching through a book full of instructions just to find out how to turn things on was frustrating. Not everyone is all electric at home. Some previous customers had not cleaned the oven. Could not find instruction on recycling. Refuse collector came on Tuesday he said put all the rubbish in the brown bin and they sort it, this is rather different from where we come from. I should be pointed out the cottage is remote and a round trip of 40 mins to the nearest shop if you want anything. It is nice to be able to take your dog, the fencing around the property is adequate for a small dog but a larger dog would jump it easily. Their were sheep right up to the boundary fence. Dog owners must be responsible..... A very nice property in a beautiful location just plan your days out and don’t forget anything. Your sat nav will take you a different way to what is described in the instructions. Both ways come down to narrow country lanes, there are two ways to arrive at Summer court.

- David, September 2022

Many thanks for your feedback, we are going to look at raising the fence for larger dogs. Good idea on the instructions for the appliances. We have now replaced the instructions for the bins as they seemed to have got lost. We hope you come again. All the best, Dylan and Jane. Property Owner
Tim August 2022

“Fantastic stay, excellent location and facilities.”

Peace and tranquility.

Thanks for the positive feedback Tim, I’m glad you had another lovely stay at Summercourt. All the best, Dylan. Property Owner
Andrew July 2022

“Beautifully decorated, well appointed, spacious accommodation in a peaceful location.”

Around 20 minutes to the beach (Widemouth Bay is our favourite) and same to Launceston, the nearest town. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Summercourt and were sad to leave.

- Andrew, July 2022

Many thanks for your kind words and we are very glad you enjoyed your stay - we agree, its always hard to leave! Property Owner
Sally July 2022

“We had asked before booking if the garden was secure as we were bringing our 2 dogs.”

The reply from Sykes Cottages was "The owner has come back to us and said yes the garden is enclosed. We have dogs and ensure the property is dog friendly" On arrival, I was concerned about some areas of the fencing as there were some large gaps between the wires (especailly as there were sheep in the next field) but the front corner of the wall/fencing wasn't secure at all, due to the gradiant of the ground, it was just a step over for the dogs to get out. It took our older Golden Retriever just under 30 mins to find teh gap! Shame, as it put a dampner on being able to just let them out, especially first thing on a morning, the last thing you want to do on holiday is have to get dressed to let the dogs out. It meant anytime the dogs were in the garden they had to be on a lead, with one of us stood with them. I would not consider the garden to be enclosed/secure. Teh bungelow it's self has great facilities dishwasher, washing machine / dryer but no washing line? I'd really encourage the owners to provide a washing line. Main bedroom. There was a comfortable double bed, but it would have been a nicer stay if the bed had been a king, Properly sounds petty to some, but the sheets should have been ironed and towels should be provided. Rubbish and recycling - suggestion to the owners to add to the guest informaton re what bin is used for what, as it's so different depending on where you live. Overall, we would recormmend the property to other guests, the view is it's best asset, truly amazing.

- Sally, July 2022

Many thanks for your feedback, we have checked the fence for gaps and could not find any. We stayed ourselves for four weeks over the summer with a golden retriever and Bernese mountain dog who were interested in the sheep but not able to reach them and were never on a lead at the cottage. However, we will endeavour to add some additional height fencing the front corner to ensure large dogs don’t jump over the wall, many thanks for mentioning this. We have given information on the recycling in the information booklet, we’ll check this is up to date at the cottage. We also mention in the booking information that towels are not provided as many people like to bring their own. We’ll take up the issue of the sheets being ironed with the cleaner as you are correct, they should be ironed. Also thanks for the mention of a washing line, thats something to add - we do however also provide a wooden clothes rack that can be used inside and outside, I’m not sure if you found this? Many thanks for your kind words and final recommendation and we am sorry you had issues with your stay. All the best, Dylan and Jane Property Owner
Mark June 2022

“A very pleasant bungalow and the beds were comfortable.”

Great view of rolling fields and sheep from the garden. The surrounding roads are very narrow but there is hardly any traffic - so need to hold your nerve driving around some of the bends. A good location for visiting north coast towns and villages such as Tintagel, Boscastle, Bude, Port Isaac and Padstow.

- Mark, June 2022

Thanks for your comments, the roads do take some getting used to, however as they are so quite you often see some buzzards looking for a snack! Glad you enjoyed your stay. All the best, Dylan and Jane Property Owner
Katy April 2022

“The property was fantastic everything about it was great.”

We had everything we needed and comfort wise the double bed was fantastic the pillows we have been researching as they were so comfy

- Katy, April 2022

Thanks for your feedback, unfortunately and unbelievably someone has actually stolen and replaced the pillows with cheap ones so we are having to replace them. Thanks again for your comments though :) Property Owner

Jennifer June 2021

“Lovely cottage everything you needed apart from a hairdryer, which was not a real problem never had to take one on holiday before.”

The cottage was in a lovely remote rural setting with rolling countryside. Got used to the narrow country lanes to get to the cottage. A very peaceful cottage just what you need from the hustle and bustle. Took the dogs to Widemouth Bay and Bude beaches which were about 12 miles away.

- Jennifer, June 2021
Brian October 2020

“The bungalow was beautifully renovated in its own grounds.”

....it was like home from home. Loved the views all round and our sheep neighbours. Easy access to the nearest town and to popular places of interest. A joy to come back to at the end of the day.

- Brian, October 2020
Martin September 2020

“A very nice cottage in a peaceful remote location.”

Be prepared to drive if you need a shop or a pub. Beautiful beaches at Widemouth Bay and lovely walks on the coastal footpath which are both about 20-25 minutes drive away

About the location

TREMAINE,

The pretty village of Tremaine sits 7 miles west of Launceston, quietly resting amongst the beautiful green meadows of the upper Tamar Valley. An ideal place for those seeking the solitude of the countryside, this whole area offers an abundance of winding country lanes, wooded valleys and great wildlife spotting opportunities. The nearby reservoir at Roadford offers fishing, sailing and water sports, providing a great day out for all, whilst the Tamar Otter Park and the nearby golf course are not to be missed. With the town of Launceston, with its many shops, pubs, restaurants, ruined Norman castle and steam railway just a short drive away, as well as the beaches of North Cornwall and the wilds of Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor within easy reach, this great location has plenty to offer.
