  • "We had a wonderful week at Lower Gadles - the house was spotless when we arrived and it was comfortable and beautifully decorated."

    The kitchen was really well equipped and little details had been thought of, like a lovely welcome hamper and the fire ready to be lit (which we needed, despite it being June!) The house is well-placed to explore Cornwall and we had a really fabulous week!

    Thankyou for your kind review. I'm so glad the house was comfortable and relaxing for you. Property Owner

  • "We booked Lower Gadles so we could celebrate Christmas with the family in Cornwall and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay."

    We were contacted by Bev (the host) beforehand asking us if we wanted Christmas decorations which made it feel even more homely and we were left a delicious Christmas cake for our arrival. The pictures for Lower Gadles don’t quite to do it justice and it felt much bigger than expected - particularly the cosy lounge with the wood burning stove which comfortably sat the 8 of us. Lower Gadles was the perfect house for us to spend a family Christmas and we had a fantastic week - Thanks Bev!

  • "Lower Gadles really does have the wow factor!"

    Loads of space, yet a cosy feel and everything you could possibly need. Very generous welcome pack and stunning cake greeted us which was very much appreciated. In 10yrs of using Sykes, we have never stayed at such a well equipped house with so many useful extras that we didn't know would come in handy! Location was also great for exploring and Falmouth itself was minutes away and is a lovely town with lots to do.

    Very clean, very well equipped, plenty of rooms for several adults to enjoy some quiet time, excellent location for touring all of Cornwall with Truro and Falmouth just 15 minutes by car. Good bus services and Asda superstore just 2 miles away. Nice touch welcome pack including home baked cake, tea and coffee provided by Bev who left us alone to enjoy the house and our holiday.

  • "This house is one of the most comfortable we’ve ever stayed in."

    It must be gorgeous in summertime with all its lovely garden around. It was cosy for us in a wet autumn week, and was exactly what we needed after a summer settling into a new house in a different town. Very relaxing.

  • "We’ve just returned from a wonderful stay at Lower Gadles and couldn’t recommend it more."

    It was beautifully clean, really spacious, and worked perfectly for our two families with children of different ages. Having two bathrooms upstairs meant each family had their own, plus the extra toilet/utility downstairs was so handy. The little snug was a big hit with the children, giving them their own space to play and unwind. Bev the owner was fantastic! Super friendly, quick to respond, and really helpful with everything. The cottage had such a welcoming feel and the homemade cake on arrival was absolutely delicious! The whole holiday so easy and enjoyable. I cannot recommend highly enough.

    Thankyou for you kind Review...makes it all worthwhile...glad you had a great holiday...Bev Property Owner

  • "Lower Gadles is a wonderful house."

    There is lots of room for a family to spread out, with ample TV and the bonus of table tennis. And a snug and conservatory for a read and a glass of wine. The gardens are lovely and a perfect setting for a barbecue. The kitchen is very well equipped, and throughout the house every detail has been attended to. Bev answered all our questions very quickly, and Ian sorted out a broken light switch the same day. Overall totally five star!

    Thank you so much for the welcome pack, it was much appreciated. After all the fresh air and walking we were grateful for such comfy beds. We've done a boat trip from Penzance, visited the Minack, saw dolphins at Lands End, Eden Project, St Ives, Cape Cornwall and lots of rockpool exploring. Ate at the nearby pub Fox and Hounds - nice pub grub and super friendly staff. Recommend getting the train from St Erth rather than trying to drive. Thank you for a lovely stay :)" - Guest book review

  • ""We travelled from the West Midlands for our holiday."

    We decided on a 2 week stay and are so pleased we did. Louise Goadles is a beautiful house with everything you need. The decor is perfect and was a real home from home. The children loved the table tennis table and tree swing so much. Lots of memories made. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and lemon cake - I need the recipe. The holiday was full of fun and happiness, the perfect way for our children to relax after A-levels and GCSEs and for us parents to enjoy cake and hot coffees. Thank you for a wonderful stay! P.S. If anyone looking for fun activity, try football golf in St Austells - Brilliant." - Guest book review

  • "We had a fantastic week!"

    We can’t praise this beautiful cottage or its owners enough, they have got it spot on! From the lovely welcoming text sent by Bev before our arrival and depart such a considerate touch, to the generous basket of goodies left for us but also the extras like the table tennis, egg chair and all the garden facilities, we wanted for nothing. This cottage was truly outstanding from the immaculate cleanliness, exceptional comfort and perfect attention to detail. It felt luxurious with all your home comforts and much more. The quality of towels, bed linen and high end toiletries were the best we’ve ever had at any Sykes cottage which is saying something. We wished we had booked it for 2 weeks as we didn’t want to leave.

    Thank you for your lovely comments that makes it all worth while so glad you had a lovely time. Property Owner
