"We spent 4 weeks at Duck Cottage so were delighted to find it just as described."
It is situated in a quiet road with a lovely duck pond opposite. The patio area at the back is secluded and we spent many hours eating or reading there. The kitchen is very well-equipped and the other rooms comfy - and very clean. Parking was available on street, even when busy, and the neighbours friendly and helpful. There is a large Asda a few minutes walk away and an M&S, Next and large Boots a short drive away (although we walked it). Hayle Beach is spectacular. Highly recommended.

"We are regular visitors to White Duck Cottage and it really is a cosy home from home in Cornwall."
The cottage is bright and well-furnished and is always spotlessly clean on arrival.
It's also well-situated for visits across West Cornwall so it's highly recommended,

"Lovely quaint cottage, felt very homely."
Great spot by the duck pond, my son loved feeding the ducks, swans and cygnets every day! We had no trouble parking outside the property. Great location for exploring the local area, we walked to the beach and coastal paths. Flowers, biscuits and local apple juice was a lovely touch and much appreciated after a long drive! We have already booked another holiday through Sykes cottages for half term!

"Nice cottage in a lovely location, it could do with a dressing table for us ladies to sit and do our hair ."
Wooden floors throughout that are tired looking downstairs, you can hear the traffic a lot in the bedroom so had to keep the window closed otherwise everything was fine .
We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at White Duck Cottage. The owners do take your feedback seriously and have spent extra time cleaning the wooden floors following your stay. Light sleepers may well notice the early morning traffic on the B3301 beyond the end of the back garden. However, traffic noise has not been raised as an issue previously at this property.

would have liked egg cups and possibly a sun lounger for the outside but this is being picky
the cleanliness and comfort where second to none
having 2 teenage boys with us, I was apprehensive but they loved the TV facilities and enjoyed a week off Xbox

"A second key would be helpful."
Other cottages we have used provided two keys
Thank you for your feedback we have discussed this with the owner and they have asked us to pass on the following comment. 'Thank you for the suggestion - we have now provided a second key on a hook by the front door which should be more convenient for everyone.' Property Owner

"Cottage was really nice."
Only think we didn't like was that we couldn't get in until 4pm. We are used to 3pm or earlier when it is low season. I did ask if we could get in a little earlier but was firmly told no which seemed a bit silly as the key was just left in a key box.
We are so glad you enjoyed the cottage. New access arrangements are now in place and our housekeeper can send a text if you ask her to when the cottage is ready. Property Owner

"White Duck Cottage is a lovely, incredibly comfortable and well-equipped cottage, and really well sited for exploring West Penwith and the Lizard."
Really enjoyed our stay there, and the lake opposite with the ducks, egrets and other water birds was an added bonus. Being greeted with flowers and all the necessaries for making a cup of tea was also much appreciated. The only suggestion that we would make is on the directions - for those of us coming from "upcountry" it would be useful to make clear that the St Erth roundabout for the turn-off into Hayle is the second one signposted to Hayle - we turned off at the first, and got rather lost until we resorted to our satnav!
We are so glad you loved Duck Cottage and found it cosy, well equipped and would stay again. It is always good to get feedback and we have taken up your comment about the fire. We love the fire as it gives an extra-cosy atmosphere when you need it! Our combined noses could not find the smell you refer to, and we can only conclude that it was a transitory matter. Street parking during the daytime sometimes requires a short walk. Fortunately in the evening many spaces become available. Thank you for the 100% rating! Property Owner

"Very easy and smooth booking process and jfrnaikn regarding arrival and key collection was timely and clear."
Survived early and after consulting the key holder were kindly allowed access on early arrival (2.30ish). Cottage was lovely, home from home with everything you needed for the week, lovely touch of milk in the fridge, fresh fruit and shortbread and flowers on arrival too. Great cottage and location for hayle facilities and wider area. Will recommend and return for sure! One thing to watch out for if you’re a taller person is the shower is a free head in the bath which unless sitting in the bath to use-watch your head on the eaves, as we found out! Otherwise a perfect stay!

Much more spacious than it looks from the outside. The fittings are tasteful. There's room for a family of four plus infant to be quite comfortable.
