or the 13 steps down to the Sitting and Shower Room. No Good for the Elderly, Infirm & Disabled Plus beds were much too high. This was my worse Sykes Holiday ever. Visitors 2 doors along had 4 dogs, if we left out door ajar for fresh air, then they were in and running in every room, even the woman running in shouting sorry, as it disturbed me,as I didn't know that she was there. also male dog cocked his leg just outside our door. I repeat NOT SUITABLE FOR ELDERLY, INFIRM OR DISABLED

The accommodation was comfortable and clean, it looks like the photos. We had everything we needed. It was close enough to most of Cornwall that everything was within a reasonable driving distance. We had our dogs with us and they we considered in the equipment available, water bowl and blankets. There is a good dog walk in Roche at the cricket ground if taking dogs and they need a run off lead. Thank you, we'll be back for another visit!
