    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Rosie - Verified booking

      What can I say, just "wow"!

      This place is incredible, such an eye for detail has gone in to, fantastic furnishings, bathroom and kitchen. The property is in the garden of the owners, but we didn't actually meet them once so felt very private. The hedge between the cottage and their garden has grown high enough now to provide privacy from their garden, but still lets plenty sun onto the patio. The garden is completely fenced/gated so doors can be opened up and the dog could roam free, there is a small lawn area for doggy toileting and washing line. Lots of interesting tropical plants and a full herb bed for seasoning dinner and the BBQ! The cottage is very well insulated so it can get quite warm when the sun gets on it, we tried to shut curtains when we went out to keep it at bay, but you can open massive wide doors and windows when you can back to cool it down quickly. I would recommend a top sheet is provided for the bed as the duvet was very thick and so too hot, we always travel with our own, but would be a nice touch. The water pressure is also quite slow in the shower. In terms of location, it is perfect, set in farmland away from town it's so quiet and peaceful, but only a 5-10 min drive to Porthleven and and Highburrow cliff path. Also ideal location for Lands End and Lizard penninsula. We managed to find plentry of 'secret' beaches no one else was on, even in amazing warm weather, and lots of vegan food (including numerous places selling vegan ice cream for our lactose intolerant doggy, she was beyond happy!) 10 min drive to supermarket in Helston if needed.

      While the property was welcoming enough and kept in a good state to which we kept it, it was smaller than it appeared through the images advertised.

      The parking situation was a little tricky and we sadly damaged the underside of our car. It is advertised as dog friendly which it is however it is not secure at all so be careful letting your dogs outside, also the owners have several dogs themselves who wander down which is fair enough however we sadly have nervous and reactive dogs so caused us a few small issues but otherwise it is set in a nice location for dog walking. Sadly it wasn’t for us really and a further reason for the low rating was being charged £100 housekeeping bond when the property was left as we found it, the money was taken by Sykes without consulting us at all, we sadly had no chance to ask what the issue was and upon contacting them to ask for the images and evidence so we could try to see if there was anything that was indeed wrong that we had missed, I heard nothing back despite contacting them twice. As we cleaned the property before we left and returned everything to its proper place I was understandably upset to have been charged extra money without any explanation from the owners or from Sykes. For us it won’t be something we book again sadly, however I would say that if it is for a few days and you aren’t going to be in the property much then it’s not a bad place to stay. But it is not suitable for any larger dogs in my opinion there really isn’t enough space.

      Great week away with our puppy.

      Michelle (thanks), text to check we had the email information on what bed make up we would like and the door code; days before and greeted upon arrival. Electronic door lock which meant no worries on “have I got/ where are the keys”. Relaxed stay, with no issues. Only minor point as mentioned in other feedback are squeaky floor boards. Being able to park directly outside the lodge made easy to load and unload the car. Having dish washer tablets there made cleaning easy. Nice to have the decking, outdoor table and chairs; enjoy the sun and knowing the puppy couldn’t get out. There’s an area next to the lodges of grass area to walk the dog (with a few bins around the place, so we’ll thought of with those with dogs), or I particular liked walking along an old path (which leads to the main road near a Shell garage, so had to turn back) or the actual drive in and towards Kea Church (again a pretty building). For those who don’t know the area like us until we got there, it’s less than 10 minutes drive to Truro where you will find shops, supermarkets and takeaways. About 20 minutes to Falmouth and 35 minutes to where we spent most of our time, exploring the north coast line, which are very picturesque, great for kids, rock-pools, sand, waves for bodyboarding (between St Ives and Newquay) Many thanks

    • Tracey - Verified booking

      We had a fantastic week, the weather was absolutely glorious but regardless of that the property is ideal and extremely comfortable with plenty of room.

      It is tastefully decorated and it's obvious the owners care. The garden around the property is small but adequate for us, plus we have two dogs and it worked well, fields easily accessible directly from the property. It is quiet and you are not overlooked in any way. I'm sure there is more positives to add but can't think immediately of all the things I loved about it. It was one of the best places we have stayed. The location whether driving or walking is ideal, its a 20-30 min walk into Porthleven, 15-20 min walk to Penrose estate (beautiful National Trust with great dog walks and access to Loe Pool and Loe Bar), 5 min drive into Porthleven (don't be surprised if you can't park in the town) but be prepared to park on the outskirts and walk in. Coastal paths accessible from there also. The town has everything you need and restaurants (good idea to book, they are excellent and popular) and shops allow dogs, which is a big deal, trust me. This is not criticism (because believe me we will visit again, fingers crossed they let us

      We had stayed in a glamping pod before but Stargaze was undoubtedly the best yet.

      It’s is very well situated for you to explore North and South Cornwall. My husband and I loved every minute from waking up to surrounding countryside views and relaxing in the jet hot tub of an evening to watch the amazing sunsets. We are both relaxed ready to go back to our very fast paced careers. The pod was clean and had everything you wanted from a first aid kit to an iron and ironing board. We had dinner at a lovely country pub the fox and hound which was five minutes drive and offered great food however there is a combi oven and stove top in the pod if you want to do self catering. The bed was really comfortable and we slept well every night. There were towels provided and nothing was trouble for the owners to make your stay trouble free and relaxing. We will definitely book again in the future.
