• "The house is spacious, really well stocked and has nigh on everything you could need, but it needs a really thorough deep clean."

  I suspect there may be a damp issue as the smell in the whole of the downstairs area was off putting and very strong. Despite using the dehumidifier / opening the windows, it didn't reduce much in the week we were there. There was also an awful smell in the upstairs bedroom, despite keeping the windows open. It's a shame as the house and setting is really lovely. Also be aware that the sauna is as described 'small' - it is uncomfortable/awkward for 2 people.

  The guests the week before gave us 100/100, saying: ‘We will definitely return!’ The next guests gave 94/100. We are open to criticism, but the feedback about ‘damp’ is unbelievable. The house was deep cleaned, inspected, and got a glowing report only a few weeks before. The owner was at the property an hour after this guest’s departure and nowhere had a smell or damp. It was exceptionally clean. It was the height of a hot dry Summer! There was and still is no damp problem. From arrival, the housekeeper, agency and owner were all available to be contacted, to check and ameliorate any concerns, but this guest chose not to complain during their stay. Yes, the sauna is small as stated, and rather lovely especially in the winter. We are delighted that everyone else loves our house, including the sauna, and return year after year. Property Owner

• "This lovely house was spacious, well equipped and comfortable and well placed for exploring the Lizard and west Cornwall."

  The owner called to check everything was ok which was appreciated. We enjoyed breakfast on the patio, surrounded by beautiful flowers and listening to the sea. Cadgwith itself is lovely with great walks on the coast path and shanty singers in the cove. We will definitely return!

• "Beautiful house, peaceful but with lovely views of the sea."

  We stayed for a week in May, and we loved the house. It’s like a home from home and huge! Ok so, it’s a little scuffed at the edges, if you want pristine, then choose somewhere else. But if you want super comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen, lovely sitting out areas, beautifully clean and homely, AND masses of space, then absolute come here. Pub is an easy walk even if it’s uphill on the way home, it’s not difficult. Lovely shop for fresh fish and sandwiches, and walks in all directions. I can’t recommend highly enough. We loved it!

  The owners are extremely helpful and kind This was our 4th visit to Megarth , we plan to visit again - need we say more?

  Thank you so much, Lesley! We love it that you love Mengarth and Cadgwith as much as we do. So much to enjoy! Property Owner

• "We were very happy with our stay."

  The village is lovely and the house is well placed for everything we wanted to do. It was also very dog friendly - toys, fenced garden, hose for rinsing. And for humans, a well stocked kitchen with added welcome treats, comfortable beds, a useful garage for storing stuff and a great sitting room made us very happy. We'd definitely come again. And we met the very nice cleaner as we were leaving. She did a great job!

  Thank you so much for your kind words of appreciation. Apologies it's taken so long to respond, but we treasure anyone who loves the place as much as we do. Property Owner

• "A lovely large property, very comfortable living space for 8 adults - plenty of seating, more than enough crockery, glassware, etc - even when one load in the dishwasher!"

  Beds were comfy, plenty of wardrobe space, the sauna was a fabulous bonus. The garden was GORGEOUS with fabulous views and lots of interesting places to sit. We absolutely loved our stay here, and managed to squeeze 3 cars on the driveway too!

  Thank you so much!! Property Owner

• "Lovely property - well equipped and beautiful location."

  Ideal for the family and children and a very generous welcome pack when we arrived. Just one minor suggestion. The local contact’s phone number is missing a digit so when we tried to contact her on day one re a broken toaster we could not do so. She did not reply to emails so perhaps owners should check? We have also left a make up bag and shaver cover and cannot contact her to arrange to have them sent - can you help by forwarding her correct number please. A matter for Sykes cottages - come on guys Covid is well and truly over and never was transmitted on bed linen. Asking clients to strip beds is really not acceptable now. Part of the rental is so that domestic tasks are done by the house staff not the client. You need now to review your policy.

  Thank you - we love it that you love it!! A very special place! Property Owner

• "Beautiful house, good comfortable beds, clean and the sauna was amazing."

  A laundry basket would have been good but we managed. Would love to come back and explore more of the surrounding area and the beautiful clean beaches

  Thank you! Do come back - so much to explore! Property Owner

• "Our second holiday at Mengarth."

  We love it here! Cadgwith is a lovely village in a perfect location for long coastal walks and for exploring the delights of The Lizard and Mengarth is a perfect place for a large family group to stay. Close to the Cadgwith Cove Inn for evening meals and within walking distance of a good local shop in Ruan Minor. Please note the oven could do with a really good clean and that the freezer part of the fridge/freezer desperately needs defrosting and cleaning. Otherwise no complaints. We had a great stay and hope to be back.

  Thank you for your feedback. We have since had one of our Quality Assurance Managers visit the property for a routine check and all seemed to be in order. - The Owner Relations Team Property Owner

• "Mengarth is a beautiful property in a beautiful location."

  We arrived to a surprise of scones, cream and tea/coffee which was a lovely thought. The owner phoned after a couple of days to check if everything was ok, which again was a nice touch. The property is very spacious for all our needs and for our 2 well behaved dogs! The kitchen was well stocked with cooking items and cutlery. The fridge was large (though the freezer compartment was relatively small - so note if you are bringing food with you on your stay). In all, a lovely stay and hoping to return at some point in the future. Thank you.

• "Mengarth is a fantastic property."

  Very clean and tidy and in a perfect location to explore the lizard peninsular. The bedrooms were a generous size and beds comfortable. The lounge was large but cosy could not fault the place.

• "This was our 3rd stay at Mengarth, we love the location, the property and Cadgwith community."

  The Inn is excellent and the area outstanding for walkers. It was lovely to get a call from the owner asking if we were happy with everything. We are already booked for next year - can't wait to be back - which in itself speaks volumes.

• "The standard if the inside of the house is poor."

  The bathrooms are well below par and the jacuzzi bath has black sludge coming out the holes and smells of drains. The mattresses are too soft and have poor covers and the bed in the front room is broken so we had to sleep on a slant all week. Very sadly disappointing

  Thank you for your feedback. We’ve spoken with the owners about your comments and they dispute your claims. They're bemused by your review and feel it bears no resemblance to the facts. Criticism is taken seriously and they have checked the position with their new excellent cleaners to whom they are grateful for the excellent service they provide. They also spoke with the guests who followed and also the electrician who visited on your day of departure. Complaints of sludge and a broken bed have been investigated and are unfounded. The photos on line are a true representation of all rooms in the property. Mattresses are a personal preference and there are no previous reviews to suggest otherwise. It is unfortunate that you did not report any of your concerns during your visit and when they spoke to one of your party, he said that you were very happy. Property Owner

• "House keeping not quite up to spec."

  We always clean Holiday let’s when we leave and we did a better job. We also had a strange thing happen twice. Someone was visiting the let while we were out for the day. Gates that were closed opened and garden seats moved. We took al valuable items with us just to be safe.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. The cleaners have apologised and assured us this will not happen again. We take cleaning very seriously and the house will be deep cleaned and checked in advance of all guest arrivals. The lawnmower man visited and apologises for not asking in advance. He will only visit between guest leaving and the next guests arriving. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we are delighted that you had a marvellous holiday!'' Thank you Property Owner

  We were a three generation family party of seven plus dog and it's fair to say we all enjoyed our holiday and our stay at Mengarth.

• "The accommodation was very spacious and the views were stunning."

  The outside space was great for eating alfresco. The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed and more....however, the property was sadly let down by not being cleaned properly before our arrival (even though we were told we couldn’t get in till 6pm due to deep cleaning as extra precaution for COVID 19). The toilets and showers were dirty, human hair smeared on the wall in one shower cubicle and piled high in a corner of another. It was very dusty and cobwebs missed in all rooms. Dog hair everywhere that got all over our clothes and especially our socks. This let the holiday down. The cleaner/s need an ear bashing!!

  Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We're very pleased to hear of the many things you liked about Mengarth and hope that you had an enjoyable holiday. We're sorry to hear however about the cleanliness issues that you report. We would like to let you know that on receipt of your feedback the owners chose to employ new cleaners immediately in a bid to put this right and ensure cleanliness standards are improved. The owners have assured us of their determination to provide their guests with a spotless and well maintained house and we hope very much we'll see you again. Property Owner

• "We have had a great holiday in this lovely house in the village of Cadgwith less than a 5 minutes walk from the excellant pub and the coastal footpath, despite the mixed weather from the tail end of Storm Dennis."

  Cosy sitting room with efficient wood burner and a super kitchen, we could imagine how lovely it would be in the summer when able to use the terrace outside. The sauna was a great boon and we enjoyed using it after wild and windy tramps around the beautiful Lizard. We would be very happy to stay at Mengarth again.

• "We had a lovely holiday to Mengarth and loved the cottage."

  The location was beautiful and just a short walk to beach and pub Cadgwith Cove and Cellar restaurant. Also in village was a small shop and amazing gift shop. The house was beautiful with a lovely patio to sit on when weather was good. Kitchen was lovely and big and very modern with all the utensils needed to cook for an whole large family. Only little niggle I would say was freezer part of fridge freezer was very small but the fridge was enormous so don't get too much frozen food if you get a shopping delivery which luckily we hadn't. Kitchen was cold at beginning of holiday so a small heater or radiator may be an idea but didn't affect us as we did plenty of cooking . Sauna was lovely and enjoyed using this on a couple of times . We will definitely be coming back to house again just wish it took 10 people lol as have to organise an holiday next time for that many people. I really did not want to write this review as like to keep good cottages secret. Also must be noted as reversed way of house there are stairs upto main lounge and kitchen and one lovely bedroom . Not sure if a stairgate was provided for stairs as we didn’t have young children but maybe worth asking if taking young children. Overall a fantastic property and loved the place x

• "Mengarth is a very good house in a superb location with very good facilities."

  Even though a few things need to be updated, the house was very clean throughout. Along with the views the kitchen was the star of the house, clean and well equipped but still leaving enough storage for your own shopping items. It was a nice surprise to get a call from the housekeeper midway through the holiday asking how we were finding our stay and if we needed anything else. A very enjoyable and comfortable stay.

• "Mengarth is in a lovely location."

  Cadgwith is a great village right on the S.W. Coastal Path. However the cottage is tired - no cushions on outside furniture, racking in dishwasher needs replacing and whole place needs a jolly good clean. Overall it suited our needs and seven of us and a small dog had a great holiday and would certainly book again. Lots to do for the whole family ages ranging 13 - 74. Sykes Cottages very efficient and info given accurate and helpful. Thank you.

  Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted you had a good week. Thank you for letting us know about a couple of issues you had which we will investigate. We strive to keep the property to a high standard and look forward to welcoming you again soon! Property Owner
