“Please pass on our thanks to the owners who let us have an extra night in the house.”

This meant we could have a wonderful family gathering on the Sunday. We will all remember the day with fondness and the house was perfect!

“This is a fantastic house to share with family it works really well we visited ...”

This is a fantastic house to share with family it works really well we visited with 4 children who enjoyed the games room just having the space was such a bonus and we would love to return

“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.

Thank you for your feedback; we are sorry to hear you had trouble with the oven and the underfloor heating during your stay. I can confirm that both have now been checked; the oven has an isolated switch on the wall which requires turning on for this to operate, apologies if you missed this! In relation to the underfloor heating, this has been checked and is working without any issues for the current guests. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know your comments, it is most appreciated. Kind regards, Sykes owner relations

“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.

“Well equipped for all ages.”

Fantastic faculties for a great family holiday. Love Coverack, the people are really friendly with lovely shop and great cafe. Would go back to this fantastic house.
Mr Woodford June 2018

“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.

The property

This superb spacious house offers luxury accommodation in a wonderful location overlooking the sea in the beautiful unspoiled fishing village of Coverack on the tip of the stunning Lizard peninsula.

Only a few minutes walk from the large crescent shaped beach this homely house really does have it all.

After parking directly outside you enter into the impressive hallway on the first floor, here are situated the comfortable sitting room with the childrens playroom adjoining and the kitchen/ diner with both rooms having access to the balcony offering ample space for alfresco dining looking directly out to sea over the beautiful gardens.

The five tastefully furnished bedrooms, two of which are en suite, are all on the ground floor whilst there are two additional bathrooms, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor.

On the second floor and likely to be a real hit with children and dad's is the games room with table football, pool and air hockey or keeping everyone entertained if the weather is inclement.

Outside the secluded and private split level gardens and terraces offer a choice of spots for sunbathing with loungers provided.

With Coverack village with a choice of restaurants and an excellent pub on the harbor a short walk away and the splendid beach the same everything is on hand here for a family holiday to remember to be enjoyed all year round being also suitable for couples who will appreciate the large variety of water sports available on the beach.

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..
