“Wonderful cottage in a great location.”

Two small niggles, could not get the underfloor heating to operate in all bedrooms or en-suites and the bottom oven did not want to work! Would still recommend this to anybody wanting to visit Cornwall.

“The property was fantastic, a better system for putting out the rubbish as it is so complicated.”

A weekly date list for which bins go where and what exactly goes in them, wasn't sure where tins fitted into the refuse. There were a number of bulbs out in the property which made it difficult to see in certain rooms. The property is fantastic and I will be booking again.

“There were some issues with the property, which we reported in a note when we left.”

The 2 items requiring immediate maintainence were :- * the plug in the en-suite basin of the master bedroom was broken and had been reported in June according to the maintainence file. * there was damp on the wall of the en-suite and wardrobe of the first bedroom on the left. This was caused by the downpipe having been broken by the grasscutters and rainwater was running down the wall instead of the drain. Sykes dealt with our queries before our stay in an efficient and timely manner. From making the booking the process worked very well with no other comments to make. Thank you for a wonderful family holiday.

“I booked as a surprise for my partners 60th birthday.”

We turned up at the door and I already had hiding inside her son and wife and also her daughter who had flown over from Australia. The surprise was complete (nearly). On the actual day of her birthday I proposed. The property, the surroundings and atmosphere combined to make this the most perfect holiday ever. We all thank the house owners for providing such a beautiful home and would willingly stay there again. Many thanks Tim Woodford

“Booking the holiday was straight forward and easy with no complications or problems.”

Once payment was taken I received the cottage details and key instructions almost instantly. On arrival at the cottage, 2 hours early, the cottage was ready and the keys available where stated which was a relief after a 7 hour drive. The cottage itself was wonderful. Everything was immaculate and very high quality. The gardens and pond where beautiful too. The 2 games rooms kept my son very happy and entertained, he played his PlayStation in peace in one room and pool in the other. The village of Coverack is beautiful and less than a 10 minute walk from the cottage. It is Very quiet and peaceful with a stunning view of the beach and port the second you arrive. My family absolutely loved it. However, the only slight warning that I will give is that it is a very steep walk back up to the cottage so if anyone has mobility issues then it could become a problem. We will definitely book this cottage again and use Sykes cottages, in fact I have already started looking. Thank you Vennessa

“House was in extremely high level than pics display.”

Fantastic landlord with kind help every time. Recommended to everyone who plan visits Cornwall. But internet connection is not stable and weak signal in bedrooms. Just enjoy holiday time with friends or family, so put your laptop and smart phone away!

“We had a super week and the house lived up to all expectations.”

Just one point. The named location on Google Earth is, as we suspected, not correct and could cause confusion even though your written directions are correct.

“Mellan Barn was bought by 3 ladies from Sheffield.”

It is a superb home where lots of attention has been paid to make one feel at home. The lounge has a ceiling extending into the attic very high with large windows looking out on to the sea, to the right a superb balcony and a barbecue area. During our visit there were a number of ships in view waiting for pilots to take them into Falmouth harbour. It was the perfect place to relax with a good book, watch TV, or take a snooze. Off the lounge was a small room for children with toys of all decriptions. The kitchen is full of high quality appliances and equipment, all spotlessly clean and of a very high quality. One went downstairs to bed, or to the laundry area, you could bathe or shower then wrap yourself in a large fluffy white towel before spending a night in silence in a very comfortable bed. The barn is located on a very steep hill which will test the stamina of all but the very fittest and we found it easier to get in the car and travel 2 miles to St Just where there we found a superb butcher shop, it was like travelling back through time, everything you could wish for was on display, the fish and chip takeaway in Coverack was superb but in general the meals available were costly and sub standard. Never mind, we were not going to starve and our good feeling returned onece we were back inside Mellan Barns

About the location

COVERACK

St Keverne 2 miles; Helston 12 miles; Falmouth 18 miles.

Coverack is a small fishing village on the Lizard Peninsula, a few miles from Lizard Point in Cornwall, the most southerly point on mainland Britain. Coverack is a beautiful and peaceful place to escape the main tourist routes and offers a beach in the sheltered bay, which is ideal for swimming, windsurfing and kayaking, as well as shops, a Post Office, pub and restaurants. The Lizard Peninsula is a large area of spectacular coves and beaches and is noted for its rare geology and plants. From Lizard Point there are wonderful sea views from the windswept cliffs, which provide fabulous walking opportunities along this stretch of the South West Coast Path. Inland is the market town of Helston, known for its Flora Day Festival, and in Gweek is The Cornish Seal Sanctuary. Flambards theme park is just 20 minutes' drive away and just over ten miles away is the Culdrose Airfield, where once a year the public are welcome to come and meet the Fleet Air Arm, the Royal Navy’s flying force. Coverack is ideally located for exploring The Lizard Peninsula, as well as the lovely seaside towns of St Ives and Falmouth and many other beaches and pretty villages.
