The location of Puffin Cottage is perfect and the views are wonderful.
It was lovely to sit on the window seat in the bedroom to watch the views over the harbour. It is a very steep walk up to the cottage but we were made aware of this and it did not pose too much of a problem. There is no available parking near to the cottage which is a challenge when offloading luggage. Again, we were made aware of this. Puffin Cottage is extremely clean and comfortable but we did experience a few minor issues. When we arrived, there were no keys in the key holder but after a phone call to housekeeper, she arrived with a key within 10 minutes. We had only one key to the outer porch door and nothing for the front door - this did not really pose a problem but, had I stayed at the cottage alone (without my husband), I would have felt vulnerable leaving the front door unlocked. There was a very long list of instructions which we were made aware of after booking. Shoes must be removed indoors, all surfaces are covered with protective fabric - the tables, the sofas, the window seats and the dressing table, which seems a little excessive. The main bedroom has a very large comfortable bed with beautiful white bed linen. However, the bed is a little too large for the room and there is only one bedside table. It is a real squeeze to get past the wardrobe as this is so close to the bed. Both bedrooms would be much more comfortable if the locked cupboards could be opened and used as storage which would clear more space. We stayed in the cottage from 28th December over the New Year period and were a little disappointed that there were no festive decorations and no welcome pack. The bathrooms are extremely clean and the fixtures high quality with powerful showers. The kitchen is very well kitted out but we were disappointed with the chunky heavy wine glasses so we purchased 4 wine glasses for our use and left them for the owner to keep. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Puffin Cottage but we did feel that we were staying in the owners home, with the locked cupboards and the protected surfaces, rather than being welcomed as paying guests.

This holiday home is perfect in every way.
It is immaculate, homely and there is nothing it doesnât have. It is STUNNING, MODERN with the most BEAUTIFUL views!! It is perfectly located with lots of beautiful places to visit: the Eden Project, Truro Cathedral and Trelissick National Trust. Although we visited for Christmas, the beaches are still just as beautiful and there are several to visit including Perranporth and Loe Beach. There are beautiful local walks, pubs within a mile and Truro town centre about a 10 minute drive. Thereâs an Aldi and Tesco Superstore, so you can pick up your groceries, beverages or any basic necessities you might have left behind. The owner is super helpful and will actually go above and beyond. Gave us a full tour and went over anything we wasnât sure about or how to use. E.g. How to turn on the hot tub, use the EV Chargerâ¦. Honestly, there is everything onsite: Patio heaters, travel cot, baby gates, board games even olive oil, washing powder, herbs and salt & pepper. If you are not sure about anything you need to take, message ahead because I guarantee you probably donât need it. The only thing I couldnât find were baby monitors and the owner immediately offered to go purchase. This was super kind but we didnât need them in all honesty, this demonstrates how the owner will go above and beyond to make your stay as safe and as comfortable as possible. We loved every minute and look forward to revisiting in summer. Thanks Sam and Carnon Gwel for the most perfect Christmas 2024!!

You approach on a narrow road with no passing places, I imaging in summer this would be pot luck to whether you'd meet another car and have a 500m reverse or not!
One parking space on an incline, which was often parked in by others. Outdoor decking is dirty, covered in debris which has not been cleaned since autumn. The banister on the desking is rotten and would probably snap if you were to lean on it. The chairs and table outside (on both decks) are dirty and rusty. Windows are filthy, both internal (covered in previous dogs slaver) and externally. Moving into the property, sofas are damaged and worn, general cleanliness is shocking - large clumps of previous dog hair, dirty/dusty skirtings, marks on walls and furniture, sand on floors, stairs carpet dirty and stained. TV in main lounge does not pick up most channels - had to change remote batteries. In kitchen ceiling spot lights not working, fridge has a damaged seal so struggles to cool, oven has had all symbols rubbed away so difficult to use. Kitchen window and blind are filthy, kitchen door handle broken. Outdoor area to rear was covered in leaves, twigs and general mess. Door leading to this area had a broken handle. Hot tub cover was covered in bird mess... luxury this area was not! Upstairs, again floors, windows and furniture dirty. Bed was 'okay' I'm not sure its a kingsize though like advertised - two singles pushed together. Main bedroom door handle broken so couldn't close door - balcony out of bedroom glass railing was filthy and seats were rusty. The house in general could do with a good clean and refresh. Overall disappointing!

We have stayed here before with another company (who I must say were more attentive than Sykes) that aside, we knew what to expect.
A lovely surprise with the opening up of the additional bedroom, my son used it and was very pleased to have somewhere to do his work on the spacious desk.But, no thought has been given about the quantity of crockery, cutlery, cooking vessels no that the house can sleep 8, with the opening of this lovely bedroom. We tried a 'toast' on new years eve and there were only a few champagne glasses. This house is so right in so many ways but I do think that the kitchen inventory needs updating. My only gripe was the nasty neighbour, who had a go at my young son last time we stayed in 2020 for being out on the driveway, (he was aged 19!) this time we put balloons up at the end of the drive for 2-3 hours so that my elderly parents could find the opening between the hedges in the dimming light, he not only knocked on the door to ask us to remove them, when we asked if they could stay until mid afternoon, he agreed then promptly removed them! I consequently stood at the end of the drive for a hour in the rain waiting! it was unhelpful, and unnecessary, we were a family not a bunch of hooligans. He also annoyed us bringing his digger down to where our cars were parked and scaring all the moss off the parking areas, he worked away for ages churning up all the mud as it was very, very wet, we couldn't get from car to house without trampling it everywhere. A very thoughtless gentleman indeed who obviously does not like holiday makers.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay in Puffin Cottage.
Although it states it is a compact cottage, there is everything you need for an enjoyable stay and there was ample space for 4 adults. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well appointed. It is at the top of a very steep hill, but well worth the climb for the magnificent views over the harbour. I would say that if you are not very fit or fully mobile, this is probably not an ideal location for you. The second bedroom on the ground floor which is a double, does not have much space around the bed, but is perfectly adequate and the comfort of the bed makes up for the lack of space. There is no wardrobe in the second bedroom, but it does have hanging space and 2 large drawers under the bed for storing clothes. We did not have a problem with this and my husband does tend to overpack!!! There is plenty of space and storage in the king sized room upstairs. The kitchen is well equipped and outside the kitchen is a lovely decked patio area with a table and 4 chairs for al fresco dining. There are lovely pubs/hotels in St Mawes where you can eat (we did have to book due to Covid19) but managed to get in. It is a lovely walk along the harbour front with beautiful views and plenty of space to sit on the beach. This is very pebbly in places, but so lovely. A small harbour town, relatively quiet but perfect. We would definitely return to St Mawes and Puffin Cottage. Excellent!!!!!
