For many years, the Dolcoath copper-and-tin mine in Camborne was regarded as "the Queen of Cornish Mines" because it was Cornwall's deepest and most famous mining operation. This former mining site now houses Heartlands, a community space in Camborne where visitors may explore Cornwall's rich history while perusing art and craft exhibits, taking in the gardens, and even sharing a picnic or lunch at the Red River Café. Heartlands is open to the public for free. To get a feel for the town, head to the museum or take a stroll through the shops and pubs around Camborne Square.

A couple of negatives were that the bin smelt and the sheets on the bed were (although clean) a bit musty smelling, as they'd been stored in a cupboard for a while. I would have washed and dried them there but there were no instructions for the washer/dryer. The heating, even with instructions is difficult to understand and whilst trying to turn it up one day ended up turning it off completely and couldn't figure out to put it on again! I agree with previous reviews that a sofa should be put in, there is room. I also think it needs a mirror by a plug socket.

Firstly there was no WiFi the whole time during my stay, I contacted them 3 times and to no reply other than an email asking me what do I mean when I say the WiFi isn't working in my hotel room. The car park gate was locked and didn't open on numerous times. Thus causing me and my partner to be stuck inside with no car and missing out on plans. The heating was stuck on and when asked for instructions they just said to look at the manual, the manual was no where to be seen. The cutlery was all dirty and the utensils were dirty The kettle has yellow limescale all over the bottom layer which is quite disgusting When pulling out the toaster there was numerous burnt crumbs stuck all over the top of the toaster And the shower was full of hair when first walking in.

But, mug split from its base when making tea resulting in cascade of boiling water &scalding; of body! Not a good start...Snags included: bathroom door needs planing so it can open & close without forcing; erratic numbers of crockery so mug not the first casualty; full length mirror somewhere would be helpful. Heating control very complicated to adjust and no clarification re washing/ drying machine options ( so clothes ended up washed twice to get dry...). Also instructions (Covid- related?) sent in advance listed things to be brought which were in fact provided so luggage space wasted. Bin instructions also unclear. Possibly some issues of communication between standard Sykes Cottages generic info and info specific to the property?
