“Another lovely stay at sailboats a brilliant place will be back next year”

- Mrs Lane, October 2020
Mr Turner September 2020

“Very well provided with kitchen equipment including washing products, cloths, extra bin bags.”

Complimentary tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. Mattress a little too firm. Another enjoyable stay.

- Mr Turner, September 2020
Mr Watkins September 2020

“You mention in the brochure about the train line being near the property it was not a problem, there was no mention of the pub next door which is the problem if you are not a drinker and trying to sleep with people sitting on the wall day and night no privacy when sitting outside it spoilt the holiday for us.”

children jumping over the wall and rolling down the slope unfortunately that's what children do when their control is in the pub and they become bored. the cottage met our expectations, sorry the location next to the pub did not, maybe better now closing at 10 pm

“Wonderful Holiday rental”

Been here less then a day and both my wife and I love it. Already visited Lands End. Tomorrow off to St Michaels Mount. Great location with beach just very near. You can sit have a coffee in morning and look out at St Michaels Mount. Bungalo was was well cleaned and all as one would hope and expect. The picture shows just outside of our door on ocean side.

Ms Sollitt March 2020

“Enjoyed my stay at Sailboats.”

Great location, especially for dog walks - the beach is right on the doorstep! Nice view of St. Michael's Mount too. Clean, comfortable, warm and cosy. Would recommend and will visit again.

- Ms Sollitt, March 2020
Mr Stacey January 2020

“Beautifull position for us and the dog very comfortable bed, We shall miss the sound of the sea .”

Thank you for a lovely holiday, We will be back!

Mrs Boag November 2019

“Our second stay in this cottage both stays just out of season.”

The location is fabulous. Great for days out all over Cornwall. The cottage is clean & comfortable. The only negative if it is a negative is the lack of WiFi at the cottage, but his is available at the Cafe across the car park and at the pub right next door. All on one level so great for our elderly furry boy and very close to the beach and sea.

- Mrs Boag, November 2019
Mr Turner September 2019

“Great location.”

The bungalow was very clean and well equipped. Nice touch of complimentary tea, coffee, milk and scones. Will definitely be back again.

Mr Ambler August 2019

“Sailboats is in a fantastic location and we would love to book again but it does need some tender loving care.”

I ended up cleaning certain bits of the bungalow , door frames etc and the window ledge in our bedroom needed a wipe down . Not what you expect for the price paid in September. We found the bed uncomfortable , it needs a decent mattress like a memory foam, sleep is important . On first day had to report broken toilet seat and shower which was fixed promptly . Patio door needs attention too. Why in this day and age there is no WiFi is surprising . We hope these things will be noted for the comfort of future guests.

Mrs Walker August 2019

“Wonderful bungalow with stunning views of the sea, St Michael’s Mount and Penzance.”

Perfect for 2 people or 2 people with an infant in a cot (although it is a squeeze to get a travel cot in the bedroom). Just a short walk across the beach from the bungalow to St Michael’s Mount and Marazion. Friendly owner, cleaner and grounds man. Only gripe is that the mattress was too hard for us but was easily solved with our own mattress topper. The train line by the house wasn’t a problem either as trains barely ran at night and we weren’t in often enough for it to affect us during the day.

- Mrs Walker, August 2019
Mr Blackmore July 2019

“Location of Sailboats was perfect, it right on the beach, what more can you ask, you have a choice to eat in, picnic on the beach without travelling, take wine though,or Penzance one side and Marazion the other, both in walking distance.”

Fill your stay with very short car journeys with all Cornwall has to offer. Brilliant and unforgettable break, Sailboats is a delight, oh and Park your car right outside the door. Fantastic.

- Mr Blackmore, July 2019
Mrs Lane June 2019

“We had another lovely holiday at sailboats a ideal base for visiting the county ...”

We had another lovely holiday at sailboats a ideal base for visiting the county went on a boat trip (mermaids) also went on the open top bus for the coastal tour can’t wait to return next year

- Mrs Lane, June 2019
Mr Farrugia June 2019

“The only comment I would make is that we found the bed very uncomfortable.”

Other than that the accommodation was good.

- Mr Farrugia, June 2019
Mr Edmundson May 2019

“Had everything we expected given the decription.”

No WiFI meant a quiet week. A waste bin in the kitchen would be a useful addition.

- Mr Edmundson, May 2019
Mrs Turner May 2019

“Parking as always is fab here, I have a bad back so the property is great all on one level.”

Lovely upgrade too interior this year was unexpected but loving the new sofa very comfy. We stayed for two perfect weeks and enjoyed every minute. I would please ask other dog owners to keep their pets away from fellow holiday makers patio windows, as this was the only issue.

- Mrs Turner, May 2019
Mr Lane March 2019

“Lovely bungalow views amazing gardener and cleaners all very friendly good place for a base”

- Mr Lane, March 2019
Mrs Boag March 2019

“Just returned from an out of season week at Sail Boats, the cottage was just as described if not better, extremely clean and roomy for a couple and an elderly dog.”

Steps away from the beach, a view of St Michael's Mount at all times. Just what we needed, a relaxing break in a lovely spot. Will definitely return.

- Mrs Boag, March 2019
Mr Owen January 2019

“Fantastic location, very clean.”

However typical of non owner lived in i.e No corkscrew, no baking tray (went out and bought 1), no brush to sweep up the sandy floor, carving knives blunt nd and no way to sharpen, no spare light bulbs, insufficient toilet rolls., bath tap very stiff to divert to shower. Pity as compared to great overall value these are petty issues but important

- Mr Owen, January 2019
Mr Lane September 2018

“Had a lovely time bungalow is in an ideal spot views amazing will be back soon”

- Mr Lane, September 2018
Mr Cooper September 2018

“Cottage would benefit from wi-fi and a bottle opener”

- Mr Cooper, September 2018
Mrs Tyson September 2018

“The bed had already been reported as needed changing, very uncomfortable, ended up going out next day to get a mattress topper to be able to get some sleep.”

Still awoke every morning with back ache. Would suggest new bed be a King Size as very small double, which is poor compared to most cottages now. Shortage of cutlery ( again reported previously ), needed to purchase extra teaspoons and could not find any metal Baking trays to cook in oven other than pyrex or pottery. Have previously stayed in this location numerous times and have never had to comment before about facilities.

- Mrs Tyson, September 2018
Ms Allen August 2018

“Fantastic position and views.”

Beach literally on your doorstep. Owner and gardener very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Addressed the bed not comfy with the owner and now aware she will sort it. Booked to go again next year, we loved it that much. Alot of memories made. Vicky & Wayne

- Ms Allen, August 2018
Mrs Clark August 2018

“The property was not cleaned very well.”

The bed was the most uncomfortable bed we have ever slept in and on one night I actually chose to sleep on the sofa, as the bed was making my back ache. Some damp in the walls and always a damp smell when we returned from being out. It wasn't safe to leave any windows open when we went out as the locks on the windows were very poor and no security offered. Shower control did not work well and we had to lever it with a spoon, as other guests had also stated they did the same. Only enough hot water for one shower....then suddenly went cold, so assuming small tank. Patio doors very stiff to open. Ironing board but no iron....doesn't make sense! Although the train was close the noise did not bother us too much. No information brochures on local areas to visit or attractions. Apart from that the location was good, and the views across to St. Michael's Mount were stunning.

- Mrs Clark, August 2018
Mrs Dutton July 2018

“The double bed needs some attention as its quite uncomfortable”

- Mrs Dutton, July 2018
Mr Parker July 2018

“The Sail Boats bungalow was clean upon arrival and as described.”

A photograph that shows the space to the back of the bungalow would be useful to some clients so that they can see the patio area with close proximity to the Station Pub and slope to the garden wall. However, this was not a problem for us. I would imagine in peek season some visitor's to the Pub will perch on the garden wall which would be very irritating if you were on your bench outside. We had to ask some people to move (which they did), put we didn't like to ask. Basic cooking pans, utensils and crockery for two persons provided. Bring your own bread knife though if you need something to slice through a loaf. The two dining chairs should last the rest of the season with one having wobbly legs and needing replacement. All in all the accommodation was good and I would recommend it if only for the ideal sea view location. Some have described the interior decor as tired, but considering the close location to sand, water and the weather there is always going to be compromises - the flooring and skirting boards visibly affected but expected. No recycling on site! Had to use the skips at Sainsbury's. My only gripe is that the DVD player did not work properly with a brand new DVD with the film constantly freezing, jumping and skipping to a different scene. Also the freeview reception was often pixelated due to a bad connection or reception. Not a big issue, just disappointing on a cold evening in doors.

“Had a lovely time shame about the weather but did not spoil are holiday will be back in September”

Mrs Smith March 2018

“Everything we needed was available, Sailboats was a lovely place to have a holiday break right on the seafront but privacy as well, we will most definitely book again at sailboats and other Sykes holiday venues thank you for a most enjoyable time .”

- Mrs Smith, March 2018
Mr Robinson February 2018

“The location is amazing.”

Waking up right on the beach is the best. The cottage is warm and homely. Could do with a little attention on the maintenance and the bed was not the most comfortable. But all in all I would stay there again and again.

- Mr Robinson, February 2018
Mrs Burman September 2017

“We have booked 3 bedroom bungalow next April 2018.”

the holiday was great and the view of St Michael Mount every morning was fantastic Thank you the Burman family
