What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a lovely stay at Trebarwith Strand.

  Well suited to a couple who like walking/swimming. Good access to beach/coastal path. At low-mid tide the beach is good for bodyboarding if the swell is up, or swimming if not (lifeguards are present during the summer season 10am-6pm). Worth noting that the beach is covered from mid-high tide and although we saw some people swimming, you would have to be quite confident to swim off the rocks. Nice to sit on the rocks and watch the waves though. Nice food at the local pub and the surf shop sells lots of beach/swimming/surfing equiptment. The cottage is a good size for 2 people, comfortable and equipped with most of what you would need in terms of cooking equipment. The only downsides are that 1) (as noted in other reviews) the shower isn't very powerful and the height cannot be adjusted (but if you keep it on ECO, you don't get the temperature surges that others have noted), 2) there isn't any outside space for drying towels/swimming stuff or an airer for doing so inside (we hung them over the wall of the carpark opposite) and 3) the cheaper carpark is 3 minutes walk up the hill. Important note about the council car park: it is free overnight, but they no longer sell weekly tickets at the carpark, just monthly or day rates (the information on the council website is out of date). None of those issues spoilt our holiday, but we would recommend taking steps to mimimise the impact of the first two points (perhaps by fixing the shower head fitting and providing an airer) and updating the booking infomation on the third would have meant we enjoyed the stay even more.

  We have just returned from a 2 week holiday staying at Pound Rocks.

  Our positive feedback is: Ideally situated to walk into the village with its many shops and places to eat. The bungalow was very comfortable, spacious and had all the home comforts. The bathroom is stunning and has a wonderful shower, a lovely bath and there was always plenty of hot water. Our negative feedback is: We unfortunately had an issue with the garden. We overlooked the unkept lawn which had not been mowed for some time and it did not affect being able to sit out in the garden. On the first Monday we were there, our 6 month old mischievous retriever managed to escape from the garden. We went into total panic, called her a few times, no response, so we started to walk to the area at the back of the bungalow. Luckily we received a phone call from a lovely gentleman who had found our dog sat in his porch! We had a look at where she had escaped and even though the gap is behind shrubs, there is a large area where dogs or toddlers could get out. As any parent or loving pet owner knows, you only have to turn your back for a second and they are gone! I am sure that in time the fence will be repaired, but unfortunately for us, we were constantly chasing to get it repaired, were told a few times that someone was coming to repair it but it never happened. We are very disappointed that this was not taken more seriously, but have been told by Sykes Cottages that the owner is aware of the situation and it will be rectified for future guests.

  It was a very nicely decorated and comfortable cottage with a beautiful garden overlooking the sea at Tintagel.

  Unfortunately there was no internet access, and even though it didn't bother us too much the owners should have been honest about this before our arrival. We cannot fault the hospitality upon arrival and the "treat box" that had been prepared for us. My husband and I have stayed in other Sykes Cottages where there's been a folder with information about the workings of appliances, and a brief overview about the local area. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the hobs on the oven to work properly and are not familiar with heat conducting pans and saucepans. Suffice to say we ate out every night, as to plough through instruction manuals to understand the workings of equipment was not our idea of a holiday!! we ended up heating things up in the microwave. This would've been a problem if we'd been staying at the barn for longer. An ironing board, iron and hairdryer would've also been a useful addition. Apart from this my husband and I did enjoy our peaceful and restful stay in this rural location. I hope our observations will be useful for the owners, and if these small improvements were made this would be a very sought after little nook.

  The location of the cottage was excellent, a short walk to the beach.

  The Interior of the cottage was stylish with modern kitchen items and beautiful artwork on the walls, the washer/dryer was a bonus and the oven and hob and microwave were new and clean. We had purchased the Rover parking as detailed in the brochure for £47.00 this enabled us to park all week and go out every day and park on the Long stay car parks without any extra charge. Many dog walkers tried to use the bin for their disposal, we then understood why it had a lock on it!. The property welcomes dogs, we do not have dogs, I experienced some difficulty with my breathing as I can be allergic to dogs, this may be a consideration for the future when booking. This property is a little gem.

  On arrival we found the cottage welcoming and homely.

  We were impressed by the cleanliness and found the cottage was well equipped. We were most impressed by the size of the rooms as they were bigger than the impression we got from the photographs. The beds were clean and comfortable and the garden was a good size with plenty of seating to take advantage of the sun or shade as you choose. We have two small Chihuahuas and they could squeeze under the gate but a 'normal' size dog would be fine. Matt, the owner, lives on site and was very friendly and helpful with suggestions of places to visit I would highly recommend this accommodation and will certainly book again on my nest visit to Tintagel.
