“We’ve stayed at other cottages on pendre loweth previously and this was our most disappointing.”

Firstly the cottage wasn’t even cleaned and ready for the specified time. The pictures of oak tree cottage make it look far more inviting. Is this standard procedure to make cottages look more appealing??? The bedrooms look homely on the pictures with cushions and throws which were obviously just used for the photographs as they are no where to be seen. There was a lack of general amenities for example no wardrobes, no hairdryer, no scissors, no bulbs in some of the lamps and a leaking ...

Firstly the cottage wasn’t even cleaned and ready for the specified time. The pictures of oak tree cottage make it look far more inviting. Is this standard procedure to make cottages look more appealing??? The bedrooms look homely on the pictures with cushions and throws which were obviously just used for the photographs as they are no where to be seen. There was a lack of general amenities for example no wardrobes, no hairdryer, no scissors, no bulbs in some of the lamps and a leaking dishwasher to name but a few. You shouldn’t be expected to have to go and purchase items which I had to do. There was only enough hot water for one person to have a shower each day which is no good for a family of four with young children. There was also no cold running water from the bathroom sink. Comments from previous guests in the guest book had also commented on these issues but nothing has been done. Paying four times my monthly mortgage for two weeks in this cottage was very disappointing and I wouldn’t stay there again.

“We arrived at the house at 5 pm, after driving all day, to find that it had not been touched since the previous clients left.”

No phone signal or WiFi so went to reception which was closed. But got signal there so called Sykes and described the state of the house. The chap we spoke to was very apologetic but didn't seem surprised, promised to get someone to sort us out in 2 hours. We waited at the house because we were too tired and disappointed to go out again. 2 hours later a cleaner arrived whilst we were having dinner. He was also very apologetic, said they were having problems with cleaners not turning up to work. He only had time to quickly change the bed linen and clean the bathroom because he had other properties to do after ours. He promised to return next day to vacuum and do the kitchen. It was obvious that the housekeeping has been done to the bare minimum for a long time. The walls and paintwork are scuffed, there was a thick layer of dust on the tops of the curtains, the plastic fake-leather sofas are very worn and the place just felt grubby. The cooker was difficult to use because some of the numbers of the control dials have worn off. There were some plus points - the bed linen was good quality and the beds reasonably comfortable, the soft furnishings were attractive and the shower was good (after we had worked out how the hot water system worked). The gardens are well maintained and the "complex" attractive, although much larger than we had expected. We would hesitate to book with Sykes again because, although the customer service is good, we do not trust the grading system of ticks. We wonder how long it has been since this house has been inspected? Maybe it was worth 4 ticks once upon a time but surely no longer?

Falmouth, with its magnificent natural harbour (the third largest in the world), winding streets and beaches, will keep you occupied for hours.

Pendennis Castle, built by Henry VIII, is Falmouth's most popular attraction, sited on its own peninsula with superb panoramic sea views. Across from Falmouth harbour is the beautiful town of St Mawes, surrounded by the rocky coves, sandy beaches and lush green countryside of the Roseland Peninsula. Go there by car (15 miles) or take the passenger ferry from Falmouth (15 minutes). For nature lovers there is the Swanpool Nature Reserve, a lagoon and site of special scientific interest teeming with a variety of wildlife. Falmouth offers such a rich variety of landscape and attractions for people of all ages, it is sure to tempt you back time and again.
