Mr Mayfield
October 2020

“We contacted the owner to say that every time we flushed the toilet or turned the tap on the water made a very loud noise - this was an issue as it would wake people in the night.”

The owner informed me that she needed to speak to her husband, however we then did not hear anything from her. I would have thought that if an issue was reported to the owner it would be part of the contract with Skykes that they needed to keep in contact. ...

The owner informed me that she needed to speak to her husband, however we then did not hear anything from her. I would have thought that if an issue was reported to the owner it would be part of the contract with Skykes that they needed to keep in contact. The cleanliness was not good either - especially due to the current situation I would have expected this to be priority. On arrival I did sweep the whole cottage and wiped all the surfaces as I was not confident that this has been done prior to arrival, for example we found peanuts on the floor a lot of dust and a duty tissue under one of the sofas.

“Very comfortable stay.”

Carol provided everything we needed for a great time. The cottage was very nicely decorated, the rooms lovely and the kitchen had everything you need and more!

“The holiday home was great, well equipped and really nicely furnished.”

Great base to get around Cornwall. Really quiet at night and lovely to see children safely playing round the front gardens or using the tennis courts. We used the little patio overlooking the river lots for breakfast and evening drinks. Owner text on arrival to make sure we had everything and was very helpful. Only thing listed that wasn’t there were body boards as some lovely previous guests had walked off with them and Sykes had not taken them off the listing even though asked to. Would recommend staying here. Great holiday.

“We booked this cottage as a last minute thing and when we got there we were extremely pleased with all facilities.”

It had everything we needed for a family of four including linen and towels. It is in a lovely quiet location and exceeded all If our expectations. The owner Carole texted before we went and also while we were there and couldn’t have been more help. She was excellent. I would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone. Many thanks for a great holiday x

“Very quiet and nice place.”

However, we had noticed that there were no bin bags and had to make a trip to the closest shop for them. It would be nice to have a soap dispenser, liquid to wash dishes, toilet rolls, etc. Some basic stuff really. I believe that this is something which everyone expects to have. Court tennis was a nice surprise but there was no playground for children. Probably those cottages are better accommodation for elder people than families with children. General, very nice looking place and we can recommend this to elderly people or young people without the children. Just like my kids said next time we can go somewhere where are more activities for children. Thanks

“I usually book direct with Sykes, however this time I used Booking.”

Com. There were errors on the listing on Booking.com which caused undue stress both before & during the holiday. Firstly, I searched for a property which allowed a dog. Secondly, having a teenage son and some work to do myself, I check for WiFi. On both occasions where I had to report problems Sykes were pleasant & tried to be helpful. Although the problems were not resolved, Sykes offered appropriate recompense. I strongly suggest that Sykes check their listings on Booking.com. I know I will be booking directly with Sykes in future to avoid disappointment and the unnecessary stress/hassle I’ve had this time.

“The cottage is in a quiet, tidy holiday park.”

We noticed the cottage is up for sale. On unloading the car and moving the car to the parking bay we came back to the cottage and noticed that in the toilet there was a toilet roll with about 10 sheets left on it. The last thing you want to do is get back in the car and drive to the shops in Camelford to buy toilet rolls because the owners are too mean to supply just one. The cottage is warm and the beds are ok. But then I saw there is no mirror in the bedroom, the porch light bulb doesn't work. A couple of days later I discovered there is no iron. The WIFI does not work despite many tries. The cottage needs all these things to be checked and remedied. Could be that the owners have lost interest. We got out and about and enjoyed our week in Cornwall but it would have been even more enjoyable without these problems. We expect there is someone on site who should deal with these things, but no information in the guest book or your details.
