“sweet cosy vintage cottage”

We had a lovely holiday in feock, really sweet little cottage, cosy warm and well equiped. The cottage has a vintage feel about it, which we really liked. Feock is a lovely place to stay, with the beach just 10 mins away, we enjoyed kayaking in the carrick roads, and had great dog walks in trellisick gardens. The cottage is great value for money and I am glad I ignored the negative comments.

“Although travelling alone with my dog, I chose a larger cottage with a bathroom as it is important for me to bath at night with a special emollient as I have a skin condition.”

The bathroom was ok but there was not enough hot water to give more than 2 1/2 inches. Completely unacceptable, especially after a long day walking. I guess the temperature of the immersion is turned down as I was alone at the cottage and hardly used any hot water. I was using kettles to top it up. The weather was good whilst I was there but cold in the evenings and there was no central heating on the ground floor and storage heaters not working in the double bedroom upstairs. There were 2 convector heaters that I moved about with me but the ground floor was cold, especially the kitchen. In the listing it shows and mentions an Aga - is that turned on in the winter months? There were not instructions at all about heating or hot water. Such a shame as I really loved the cottage. It was very clean, well equipped and in a beautiful, quiet and convenient situation. I would like to return but only if I knew that there would be adequate hot water and heating. I knew there would be no wifi but it was difficult when I had to ask for assistance when the immersion was not working at all. Sykes had obviously sent me messages although there was no connection and I got them when I got home.

“The cottage didn't have WiFi or a Dishwasher.”

My fault for not picking up on this, but thought it was standard these days. However, I accept that this was probably reflected in the price as it was very good value. The cottage was comfortable though. Disappointed to only be provided with one tea towel when linen is provided, especially as there's no dishwasher. When I called to ask for more I was passed from one agent to another who returned my call and said only one tea towel is provided with self catering (never experienced this before). We went out and bought 3 extra tea towels, I hope they are washed and left for future guests! It's the little inexpensive things that make a difference. Our welcome pack included tea, coffee, milk and the makings of a cream tea - nice touch. Thank you.

“We appreciated the homely straightforward and unpretentious qualities of this old cottage.”

It was well equipped and located for exploring the local area: from the nearby beach, cafe and watersports to beyond travelling on the ferry to the Roseland headland.

“The property is tired.”

while the facilities are good a cottage that can sleep 6 should have a dishwasher. The hot tap in the bathroom basin is dripping continuously as it needs a new washer. The garden is overgrown, the back part of it needs to be completely cleared so that it can be used, and there are trailing brambles that would be an issue for young children. Overall a good cottage but with a little effort could be excellent. Andrew

“Lovely cottage in a gorgeous place.”

Very clean, provided everything that was needed. Maybe a new 3 piece suite would be good. Didn't want to leave !
Mrs Birtwistle June 2018

“The cottage was basic, decor and furnishings tired and dated.”

Garden furniture (plastic table and chairs) were stained with green algae and one chair was broken, half way through the holiday the furniture was replaced with a lovely wooden set. The low kitchen ceiling was an issue, my husband repeatdley banged his head.

The property

A delightful, quirky end of terrace cottage situated within the village of Feock, moments from the beach and serene waters of Fal River Estuary and just 4.5 miles from the city of Truro.

There is so much character within this cottage, with traditional beams, wood panelling and sash windows.

Enter into the dining room, which features a Rayburn, keeping the cottage cosy at any time of year, the snug sitting room has an open fire, to warm your toes and the well equipped kitchen is at the back of the property.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, comprising of one king size double which faces the front garden, one twin and a bunk room.

The mature garden at the front of the cottage is private and perfect for breakfast alfresco or simply relaxing with a good book.

A short stroll with fabulous views along the way, will take you Loe beach where there is a watersports centre so you can hire Kayaks or paddleboards to enjoy the water, you can paddle round to the infamous 13th century Pandora Inn which sits on the edge of the water.

The King Harry ferry is close by, take a trip over to St Mawes and some smaller villages along this part of coast.

The Carrick Roads also have a superb network of ferries linking Truro, Falmouth, St Mawes and some smaller villages so leave the car behind and travel by boat.

There is lots to see and do for all ages.
