Various areas needing a paint touch up. The shower is not fit for purpose.A trickle of water is not a shower and in the £1000+/week price bracket this is not acceptable. Although the bed linen is clean, it is old and discoloured. It needs to be replaced. Nevertheless we still enjoyed our week as the house is very well located and comfortable. We would not use Sykes again due to the lack of a contact number which immediately connects you to a human being and not a bot. Most other companies give you a local contact number which you can use if you have any problems.

The cottage was perfect for two people. A couple of minor issues- there was no hairdryer at the property which I would have expected and the door to the front bedroom does not close. It would have been nice to have some private outside space but the location of the cottage is so lovely that this makes up for this. Developed my skills of getting in and out of the garage as the week went on! We would definitely return. Marazion is a beautiful place.

Access to public transport is yards from the cottage which for a nominal £2 or bus pass takes you to most parts of South Cornwall. The garage is a huge bonus in an area where car parking is limited. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and look forward to another stay at Nanaâs House in the future.
