“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.

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!

“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

“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

“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.

“A wonderful welcome greeted us at Captain’s Cottage on arrival.”

The cottage is perfectly situated to explore Cornwall, spacious and comfortable living and sleeping accommodation, lovely, secure garden for children and dogs to enjoy. A really enjoyable stay!

“We enjoyed the art work and the amount of space within the house so everyone could do their own thing or be together despite the inclement weather.”

The house was well equipped and the standard of crockery and cutlery made it a pleasure to use, so well done the owners for investing in the property. The only problem we had was on entry not being familiar with the combination system. This can be easily remedied by instruction to put in the numbers and turn the handle to the right. We did think that key holder details locally in case of emergency would be a very good idea.

“The Captains cottage is a fantastic house which is extremely well equipped for families with children or a group of adults.”

The house is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is excellent for anyone that enjoys cooking, the layout meant that it was easy to cook and socialise at the same time. The two sitting rooms meant that it was possible for everyone to find a space to do their own thing and the rooms are big enough for everyone to spend time together. Overall a really comfortable, well presented house with plenty of space both inside and outside to make a fantastic holiday. The location on the outskirts of St Blazey also meant that it was quiet but with easy and quick access onto the main roads to explore the surrounding areas.

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.
