Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews are mixed regarding cleanliness. Some guests found the property very clean and well-maintained, while others reported issues with dampness and general cleanliness. The property seems to be kept to a good standard, but there is room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for being peaceful and an ideal base for exploring Cornwall and Devon. The proximity to Liskeard railway station and the overall quietness of the site are appreciated, although one review mentioned difficulty in finding the property due to an incorrect postcode.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of the comfortable beds and homely feel. However, some guests noted issues with heating and a leaky roof, suggesting that while the property is comfortable, there are areas that could be enhanced.
Facilities are well-regarded, particularly the well-equipped kitchen. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as problems with the heating system, Wi-Fi, and bathroom modernisation needs. These issues suggest that while the facilities are adequate, they require attention.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating welcome gifts such as wine and cream teas. It is important to note that such gestures, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Itâs a real home from home. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The location is perfect for seeing the sights of Cornwall and the holiday village is peaceful and well maintained. The welcome gift was also much appreciated. We would definitely return.

The bathroom is fitted with a lovely corner shower and very modern. Bedrooms were nice. However, there was damp in the twin bedroom causing bed linen to feel wet. There is a heating system in place. This didnât fully work until day 4. There was alternative heating in the property we used. It advertises it has wifi. Unfortunately, this didnât work for us. No fault of ours though. The property wasnât its cleanest either. I did fully clean it though as I didnât want the owner to think it was our mess. We cut our holiday short by 2 days due to this. I did report all of this to Sykes cottages, who were very understanding and also concerned. The owner did pay back £100 compensation.
