“We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at the cottage.”

The double beds were very comfy but unfortunately the single beds were extremely uncomfortable. The bathrooms and kitchen were wonderful. The only thing I would want to change is to be able to either warm up the cottage with central heating or by having some blankets accessible to use as it got quite cold in the morning and evening. A parasol for the outside table would also be useful to shade from the sun.

“The cottage was very well equipped with everything you would need for a perfect family break.”
Mr Worger October 2019

“The Cottage was spacious, picturesque and the facilities were excellent, plus it was a good location for plenty of sight seeing.”

We could not fault this accomodation and the welcome pack of a plate of fresh scones, jam & cream was very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend this Cottage and Sykes in general for the ease of booking and of keeping you updated on every step of the way leading up to your holiday.

“The house and gardens were perfect for my family and 2 dogs.”

Location was also great so we didn’t have to drive long distances to enjoy some of the great facilities in Cornwall.

“Captains cottage was a delight!”

Loved the art work and decor, beds very comfortable, 3 bathrooms! Kitchen was a joy to cook in as had everything you could need and looked out on to gorgeous garden with so much space plus a paddock. We had a fantastic family holiday here and are likely to book it again.
Miss Burnett May 2019

“On arrival we discovered that the photographs of the cottage on the booking website were not a true reflection of the poorly maintained cottage.”

While we found the cottage to be extremely clean and tidy, the internal décor and external fabric of the property are in need of maintenance. The showers worked very well and the beds were comfortable (if you sleep with your head at the feet end due to the sloping floors). The kitchen was well equipped, roomy and airy while the snug room was cosy. We chose not to use the lounge due to the constant smell of soot; unusable dvd player (kept sticking and guests had previously mentioned this); and the amazon fire tv provided extremely limited channel choice. No radio was provided with an expectation that you could use your smart phone (if you have one) to access a radio app. However, the app only worked properly in the lounge due to it needing to be close to the wifi hub. The pond was leaking and rather than the owner determine the source of the leak, they expected the gardener (who was very considerate and helpful) to keep refilling it. The cottage is in a great location and we were able to easily travel to the attractions and places we wanted to visit. However, a warning needs to be given to guests about the speeding traffic that use the road outside. Care needs to be taken when exiting and accessing the driveway due to speed of vehicles and poor visibility.

“The welcome cream tea and fresh flowers were a lovely surprise on arrival and the house was clean and attractive.”

The beds were very comfortable and the setting private. It met all our requirements and we had a lovely holiday.
Mr Snell April 2019

“We had a fantastic week at the cottage which hit you with the WOW factor as soon as you opened the front door!”

Fantastic reception rooms which were adorned with the most interesting of objects,the cottage was a absolute joy to spend time in. The bedrooms were great with fantastic showers and decor. Going out into the garden/paddock which was a fantastic area for our family pet Mabel you will find a immaculately kept area of lush green grass and bushes. We unfortunately left a important item behind when we left but after a phone call to Cornish Cottages we were quickly reassured it would be sent back to us, sure enough it was(Big Thank You to Dom and his wife :) We were all sad to leave this wonderful cottage and can not wait to return.

“A lovely family break”

We came down for a family wedding in nearby Knightor Winery and to celebrate one of our party's birthday. The cottage is lovely, kept to a very high standard. We had a burst pipe on the Sunday which couldn't be fixed until the Monday afternoon so no shower for two days! The owner was really helpful and clearly quite worried about us and it all got sorted out as soon as it could be, it just added to the fun of being away. I would say that if you are going as a group of adults try and bag one of the double bedrooms as the twins are really uncomfortable!
Mrs Gibson February 2019

“We had a major water leak which resulted in having no water for 24 hours.”

Unfortunately this happened on Sunday and although the owner was in contact and very apologetic a plumber did not appear until Monday am and the problem not fixed until 5pm. We managed by boiling kettles and turning the water on when the toilets needed flushing. Also because of poor telephone signal we were not kept up to date by Sykes. I feel that the problem should have been dealt with as soon as reported and not made to wait 24 hours for the plumbing to be fixed.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are sorry to hear about the plumbing issues you experienced at Captain’s Cottage. Due to the fact the issue was reported on a Sunday, the plumber was unable to purchase the required parts and install the new shower until Monday. The issue was rectified as quickly as possible, however we do wish to apologise for any inconvenience caused. Sykes owner relations
Mr Booker November 2018

“The cottage was beautiful the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in it was like being in a giant marshmallow I asked where the pillows were from because I would like to get some for myself the outside view was so pretty and peaceful.”

The owners have really good taste in decor everything was just right in fact there wasn’t anything overlooked. There were scones left for us along with clotted cream which was a big hit thank you very much. If there was any negative I would say it’s the speed that drivers come along that lane when you are trying to get into the drive but they do mention that in the handbook so we were prepared. We had a lovely couple of days here with our dog and would highly recommend Captains cottage
Mrs King September 2018

“A most beautiful and individual house full of original artwork and with all comforts.”

It is a home rather than a bland, generic holiday house and is clearly constantly being maintained and kept up to standard. Wonderful outside space with a paddock for children and dogs to run. A perfect country escape.

About the location

ST BLAZEY

Eden Project 1 mile; Charlestown 3 miles; St Austell 3 miles.

St Blazey is a small town situated three miles east of St Austell and was formerly an important engineering centre for the local mining and railway industries. The town is nowadays best known for being the closest to the Eden Project. Nearby Charlestown is a delightful and much sought after coastal village of stone cottages and regency houses. It is famous for its collection of tall ships riding at anchor in the harbour, the shipwreck museum, excellent pubs and restaurants and easy access to the coastal path. The old market town of St. Austell lies just a few miles from the south coast, and is famous for its China Clay mining history. Today, home to numerous beaches, (including dog-friendly Par Sands) and sub tropical gardens, it is a popular place for tourists, with plenty to see and do. A short drive will take you to fashionable Fowey or the fishing port of Mevagissey, and with lots to do, this is a great year round location.
