Rospletha Cottage is located in one of the most beautiful spots in Cornwall and probably the UK.

We had an amazing few days exploring the local area, with the Minack theatre, the coves and the coastal path right on our doorstep! Simply stunning! Sadly, the first few days of our week were spoiled by the unclean state of the kitchen when we arrived. I had to put all the plates, cutlery and utensils in the dishwasher, wash the tiles, the shelves, the glasses. There was even a full cup of coffee left in the microwave, with mould on it. There were cobwebs in lots of places (stressed me as I am not a fan of spiders) and we werenât able to open the French doors onto the patio until the owner âforcedâ them open later, which we had not dared to do. The hinges were just very rusty, due to the sea air I guess. We were also put off by the fact that the owners were staying in their wooden chalet in the garden, right across the cottageâs patio, so sitting outside didnât feel private at all. This chalet is neither mentioned in the cottage description, nor showing on any of the photos for the cottage on Sykes. Also, there IS a huge field at the back of the house, with sea views, but it is also the overflow car park for the Minack theatre, so every afternoon, we had hundreds of cars/vans and people just 100 meters or so from our rental. Again, something which is not mentioned in the description. The owners of the cottage / chalet had visitors coming across âourâ garden on two occasionsâ¦this was not acceptable. On the first night, we arrived quite late because of heavy holiday traffic. When I saw the lack of cleanliness in the kitchen (namely dirty plates and cutlery draw), I went over to the chalet to mention this to the owner (who had just welcomed us and said to come and see him if there were any problems). I thought theyâd like to let their cleaning company knowâ¦well, I was not received well at all! I wonât go into the details as we did receive apologies the next morning but I was left shaken. Rospletha is an amazing place, but, as a family, we all felt the same: Rosphetha Cottage needs more cleaning, TLC and private garden space. Also, I would not have chosen this cottage if Iâd known that we would be sharing the garden with its owners.

We have visited Porthcurno for many years and it was great to return in September this year.

Seascape is clean and comfortable with easy access car parking but it is the little things that let it down. Every property I have ever stayed in over the years provides the bear essentials but we were very disappointed to find just half a toilet roll, a quarter of a bottle of Carex soap in the bathroom, just ONE bin liner in the cupboard, very basic tea and coffee sachets and no salt/pepper. I think for the price paid it wouldn't have been too much to expect a couple of loo rolls and perhaps a nice little wrapped bar of soap? A few biscuits in the welcome pack? The milk in the fridge was appreciated but considering the nearest large supermarket is a 20 mile round trip, I feel a little more effort could have been made. It felt like we were being told: "Here, don't expect any more than THAT!" I certainly never think to pack salt and pepper and also there was no cork screw so, when we sat down to relax with a glass of wine the first evening, we couldn't uncork it! The apartment is in a lovely position, the bed was comfortable but larger people would struggle with the tiny shower. Also we would have liked a lamp in the living room because you either sit in the dark watching television, or in bright light! We actually moved a small lamp from the bedroom to make it cosier. So overall the property is very clean and comfortable but no effort was made with the little things that, to me personally, mean a lot!

We had a fantastic stay at Higher Roskestal!

The weather was a massive bonus as we didnât expect to see the sunshine. Weâve been to Porthgwarra several times and love it there, the beach (when the tide is out) is small but perfect for a doggy dip and play. The house was lovely, fantastic bathroom in the main bedroom and huge bed. Everything we needed was there including a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, perfect. The halogen hob took a bit of getting used to but we got there. The hamper of goodies was most welcome and delicious bread and scones. The garden is great for relaxing and lovely thick grass so no mud even on the few wet days we had. It is bordered by a stone wall but not secure for our pointer who could easily disappear, which he did a few times, so take a long line if you have a pup who likes to chase the birds or cats. The seating area under the kitchen window is a great sun trap as it does get a little breezy. A flat area for the other table and chairs would make it nicer to enjoy the garden when the sunâs going down but still a beautiful garden with amazing views towards St Levan. Take the binoculars if you like a bit of boat spotting, the sea view from the lounge is panoramic! The most relaxing cottage break weâve had, and weâve had lots! Highly recommended if you want some down time.

It was a real shame that there were two things that partly spoilt the holiday.

Firstly even though previous customers had mentioned online the softness of the mattress on the bed, the owners had failed to do anything about it, be warned. To say it was uncomfortable was an understatement and led to seven very uncomfortable nights. Secondly the tv in the bedroom doesn't work as no signal can be achieved, again as previously mentioned online on your website and the one in the lounge you need a degree to configure the set-up. I know a tv isn't everything on a holiday but when it's advertised it should already be set up and working. The apartment is well equipped although there was a feeling of end of season about the place and a little maintenance wouldn't go astray, given the six hours between the property being vacated and new clients being allowed to gain access. I'm afraid to rate it as a 4 star holiday accommodation is far of the mark, perhaps a two would be better? Apart from that Porthcurno is a lovely place and it's a shame the edge was taken off our holiday. Hopefully these comments will be passed to the owners for some sort of action!

We hadn't realised that the adjacent Minack Theatre is now so popular, and it was challenging that quite often it was almost impossible to get out of the bungalow or return because of the sheer volume of traffic coming down the very narrow lane.

The bungalow is situated right next to the Minack overflow carpark, which wasn't made clear in the description. The bungalow is an illogical construction; it must have been extended several times. It was well equipped - we had everything we needed, but has a general air of being unloved and rather neglected. Lots of spiders. The seats of the sofas have sagged appreciably. Information about recycling, rubbish disposal and what is available in the area would have been useful. We met the owner, and understood the housekeeper was ill, which might answer some of the issues we have mentioned. It was disconcerting not to have a local contact number in case of emergency. Ringing Sykes Cottages is not a good option, and we were fortunate not to need to contact anyone urgently. The views from the bungalow are magnificent and we were lucky to have good weather and some amazing sunrises and sunsets. It was very kind of the owner to come down from London to sort out the bungalow, and to get us some milk and flowers as a welcome for us.

Porthchapel Beach

This sheltered sandy cove on the south west coast is surrounded by granite cliffs. The walk to the beach is down a steep narrow path through a wooded valley and requires some agility.

Nanjizal Beach

Nanjizel Beach is a pretty cove surrounded by boulders, clear water and lots of rock-pooling opportunities. It remains relatively uncrowded due to its inaccessibility. Walkers from the coastal path tend to be the main visitors.

Land's End

Land's End is one of Britain's most famous landmarks and worth a visit for the stunning scenery alone. Wander the cliff top trails, shop at the West Country Shopping Village, visit the various attractions and have your photo taken at the iconic signpost. Perfect for a day out and a great place to visit with your dog.

Close to Sennen Cove, Gwynver beach reportedly gets its name from Guinevere, wife of the legendary Cornish King Arthur. Accessible from a steep path from above, the beach is rarely too crowded. Steep granite cliffs rise from behind.

Porthgwarra Beach

Close to Porthcurno, this small secluded beach was once a thriving fishing cove but today is more famous for its film location status. The sparkling clear turquoise water on sunnier days makes this a pretty spot to visit.
