Sykes need to include information about T.v having no terrestrial channels, I know you have contacted them about this and they have not updated the listing.

The Cottage has the feel of a home rather than a holiday let. I would heartily recommend it.

The cottage is warm, comfortable and is beautifully and artistically furnished. There is so much to see in the surrounding area, we always find new things to do even after coming here 5 or 6 times. Dee is such a warm and welcoming host and the new sauna facility is fantastic. The cottage is in a beautiful location with wonderful views of St Michaelâs Mount from the kitchen and easy access to many gardens, coastal walks and beaches. We will definitely be back again. Thank you Dee.
