"A little comfortable cottage."
We stayed at bowling green cottage for 14 days in July 2022 . We were 4 adults and 2 little dogs. If anything was needed the owner's helped straight away. We loved our stay and would love to book again sometime

"Really interesting location close to a lot of Cornwall's mining heritage and central for all areas of western Cornwall."
The cottage had a nice garden for the dogs and plenty of places to sit outside and enjoy the views. Washing machine and washing line very useful. Inside it's comfortable with all the facilities you would expect. There's an eclectic mix of artifacts in the cottage and the bathroom probably could do with some updating in fairness, although didn't bother us at all. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and oven was excellent. Wifi was pretty slow but we had a good 4G signal. Owners were lovely, overall would recommend!

"If you like to be in the country with wonderful views,but also near enough to facilities like a supermarket etc than Bowling Green cottage is ideal."
A compact little bungalow with a cosy open fire and two comfortable settees in the living room, a small but perfectly working kitchen and two lovely bedrooms provide all you need. And if you have dogs, they will enjoy the well enclosed garden. Naomi and Kevin are on hand if needed and the fresh eggs were a delight. We loved our stay.

"What a lovely place to stay, a proper home from home, very clean and comfortable."
We found that the cottage is well placed to visit all over Cornwall which was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 weeks there with our greyhound and everywhere we visited, including many cafes, are dog friendly. Naomi and Kevin the owners were very friendly and if we'd had any problems (we didn't), they're right next door. Thank you once again for our lovely holiday.

"A beautiful little cottage in the most wonderful setting and location."
Great walks from the cottage. The dogs loved playing in the secure garden and walking up to the monument in the morning. Local beaches are not far away.
The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Naomi was very friendly and helpful. Delicious eggs for sale from her chickens.
Would highly recommend a stay at Bowling Green cottage.

"We booked our stay to have something to look forward to in January and Bowling Green Cottage has been just what we needed."
The weather hasn’t been kind to us but we managed to visit Lands End, St Ives, Porthleven, Kynance Cove, Helston and the Lizard. When the weather lifts, the views are amazing.
The cottage is so welcoming, cosy and well-equipped that we have been really comfortable here. We love the extra touches like fresh flowers, soap powder for the washing machine, Netflix and even a torch for taking the dogs out at night. The cottage layout is so thoughtful with a stone floored entrance to bring the dogs into before they go into the lounge. The garden is securely fenced and even my two cocker spaniels could not find a way out.
We were only here three nights but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We have already recommended it to friends and would love to stay here again ourselves. Thank you so much.

"We really enjoyed our time at this lovely little cottage."
The owners are very friendly, but not intrusive, & left us to enjoy our holiday as we wanted, but at the same time are very helpful when needed. The cottage itself was clean, very cosy, comfortable & had everything needed for a nice quiet self catering holiday (and the coal/log fire is an absolute treat on cold evenings, although the central heating there is great). There are plenty of amenities within a 5 minute drive of the cottage & plenty of local produce is sold nearby. All in all we left extremely satisfied with our stay, & would sincerely like to thank Naomi & husband for a wonderful stay.

"We have stayed at this cottage twice before this one."
It is a lovely cottage within easy reach of the bottom part of Cornwall. The facilities are very good and it is well maintained. The owners are lovely and will help with any issues. Fresh eggs on site and a pub 5 minutes walk away.
It can get a bit windy on the top of the hill but it is double glazed, great place to stay.

"Bowling Green Cottage is in a great location to explore Cornwall."
The owners could not have been more helpful. The cottage is quite small; our party was two adults and three dogs so it was ok for us but I think four adults would struggle with the space. Instant heat from electric radiators was very welcome 'cos the weather was awful the week were there. Enclosed garden was great for the dogs and there are plenty of walks close by for more exercise.
The pub at the end of the road was great! Very dog friendly and fabulous Sunday lunch

The cottage was not cleaned we arrived 10 minutes early and knew we would have to wait the owner told us she hadn’t hoovered yet so we waited when we got into the cottage it smelt very damp we weren’t too concerned as it was described as rustic but we weren’t prepared for the unclean cupboards the bathroom could do with a deep clean also the kitchen the door handles were sticky with grease the grill pan had grease and crumbs from the previous people the oven door was filthy the carpets were grubby the tv had a black line running through it so made watching it difficult the blanket box under the bed was covered in dust we also discovered the fridge couldn’t have been cleaned as the freezer compartment had the previous people’s food left in it and it would have nice if the lawn had been mowed overall we felt let down by this experience and if we hadn’t paid we would have left but we stuck it out till the Friday as it was our first holiday since COVID IT WAS NOT CLEANED TO A STANDARD ONE EXPECTS FROM YOUR COMPANY IN ORDINARY TIMES LET ALONE IN A PANDEMIC we had a previous holiday cottage in Scotland which was booked through you and it was everything we hoped for we feel really disappointed our holiday was not what we were hoping for and would not recommend this cottage to anyone

As you’ll see to date, comments on the property, cleanliness and the owners have been complimentary so far and yours is the first which isn’t so. We’ve spoken to the owners who dispute your statement on cleanliness and feel these comments are unfair and unjustified.

"This cottage is absolutely amazing, it has a real homely feel about it."
Everything was up to standard, me, my husband and 2 children loved it. It’s in the perfect place too, the views are stunning, everything u need is available including iron & ironing board, airer, small washing machine & washing basket & pegs for the outside line. There was also a good hairdryer in the bedroom drawer. The countryman inn is a short walk away where we spent a couple of evenings having tea, playing pool & we also did the quiz!
The cottage is also a very cosy place to spend an evening in after a busy day out exploring Cornwall.

"The cottage had not been cleaned to a high standard, there were aged cobwebs and dust in places, taking into account the extra time allowed for corona virus we were disappointed."
The twin bedroom floor was damp, this was traced to water seeping down the lower part of the walls, this in turn meant that nothing could be left on the floor.
The hot water in the bathroom was feeble to say the least, and the shower played up with those showering, going hot and cold.
The host was pleasant and helpful on our arrival, but wasn't seen until our departure.I
I would be happy to recommend Sykes Cottages, however we could not recommend this cottage.

"We had a brilliant stay."
The hosts were friendly and helpful without being at all intrusive. The cottage was super cosy and had everything we needed. The location was brilliant, within very easy reach of a good range of facilities and a nice pub, as well as being close enough to a range of stunning beaches and coast walks. The cottage and the whole area were really dog friendly. The only thing that was a slight disappointment was the shower - it worked enough to fulfil its purpose, but the flow was a bit weak. However this really was only a very small issue and did not stop us from having a great holiday and we would 100% recommend this cottage as a fantastic base to explore the North Cornish Coast.
