  • "I have been travelling Cornwall ever since 1993 and The Nest was the best Cottage I ever stayed in."

    It's cosy and perfectly equipped! The garden provides a splendid breakfast corner in the morning and relaxing sun bathing throughout the day. Timm and Lynn are just great hosts and fun people. I'd give it a 12 out of 10 :-)

  • "We had a wonderful time in this perfect cottage."

    I have never stayed anywhere that was so well equipped. The hosts, Tim and Lynne, were outstanding. The warmest welcome and most attentive and generous people ever. The property is situated in a great location with easy access to all that West Cornwall has to offer. We will definitely be back.

  • "The Nest is a lovely period cottage that we love."

    Maintained to a high standard, very clean, modernised sympathetically and very comfortable. Nestled away, very quiet & relaxing. Not far from places to visit. The cottage was all we expected & more. Tim & Lynne made us very welcome to the extent that we class them as friends. We had a bad start as 2 of our group could not come due to illness& we were unable to contact Sykes Cottages, with no response even to e.mail. That aside, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at ghe Nest & would recommend it.

  • "The Nest is a lovely relaxing cottage and in a very good location with easy access to Helston and beyond, and the coast."

    The cottage was very comfortable with everything one could need. I especially liked the big bath sheet and the delicious welcome pack. There’s a lovely garden with furniture if you are lucky enough to get good weather.

  • "Absolutely beautiful property and in a great location to explore the local area."

    The cottage was home from home. The owners Tim and Lynne were there to greet us when we arrived and to show us around. There was a great welcome basket and we were truly spoilt. The kitchen was really well equipped and had everything that you could possibly need. There was a lot of attention to detail. I think this property is very understated with its bio and although I have previously said I would never stay anywhere twice I would definitely make the exception here, the best cottage we have stayed in yet. The garden was beautiful somewhere to sit on the evenings. Well done Tim and Lynne you have an amazing little gem here.

    Thank you for your kind words and we are happy that you enjoyed your holiday here in Cornwall.. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Property Owner

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our week in The Nest."

    The property is very homely and Tim and Lynne could not have done more to make us feel welcome. We were lucky with the weather so we’re able to utilise the garden which is a proper sun trap. Whilst we visited the local tourist areas: St Ives, Lizard Point, Falmouth, Penzance, Portleven, etc., the house was comfortable and sufficiently equipped for us never to have left it during our stay. We have already enquired when we can return during 2023.

    Couldn't have asked for a more relaxed break, and we will definitely be returning in the future if we can, couldn't imagine a nicer place to stay.

Enjoying a wonderful location with easy access to the popular destinations of Helston and Falmouth, The Nest makes for a wonderful dwelling for couples or a family of four who are looking for the perfect blend of coast and country in Cornwall.

Park-up in the off-road parking space, before unloading your bags and making your way towards your new home-from-home.

Step into the property where you are immediately greeted by a well-appointed shower room, perfect for washing off sandy toes after a day at the beach.

As the evening cools, retreat to the sitting room to light the electric fire and snuggle up on the plush sofas as you watch your favourite show play out on the Smart TV.

When sleep calls, climb the stairs to the first floor, where you will find two tastefully decorated double bedrooms, both served by a generous bathroom where you can indulge in a blissful soak in the bath or refreshing rinse in the shower ahead of a day of adventure.

Explore your local surroundings, where keen anglers will be well-catered for with the nearby, well-stocked Garras Lakes where you can seek out your catch of the day.

The 1000-acre grounds of Trelawarren Estate provide an idyllic spot for a stroll, whilst the on-site restaurant is the perfect pit-stop to refuel.
