“It was a lovely cosy clean little cottage.”

Location was perfect, great for two people romantic getaway, it has everything you need. Nice touches with the milk and biscuits when we arrived. But, just like the comments all the way back in 2018, this place lacks TLC. The shower is indeed very useless for any woman washing their hair. If you're here for a full week, it gets tiresome how long it takes to wash half your body. Bath isn't as slippy as people said. The DVD does not work, and haven't worked since 2018!!! They need to take it off ...

If you're here for a full week, it gets tiresome how long it takes to wash half your body. Bath isn't as slippy as people said. The DVD does not work, and haven't worked since 2018!!! They need to take it off as part of their advert as it can be very misleading!!! if it's one of the things you enjoy to do as a couple/family is to watch movies, then this place is not for you! Also no phone signal!!! So good luck entertaining yourself if youre here for a whole week or more!!! The pillows were also very old and thin and not very good for the neck. I'd recommend bringing your own for a good night sleep,but bed itself was comfy enough. Its frustrating because this place would have been 10/10 if it wasn't for the little but important touches that made the massive difference to our stay.

“Comfortable but disappointing We stayed at Church View for a few nights as we wanted to extend our stay in Cornwall.”

While it was a comfortable base and the cottage had a lot of potential, we found it a disappointing experience. Basic things such as hand wash or soap, had not been left for us, although milk and biscuits had which was a nice touch. We noted the bathroom shower, which to be honest is the most pointless thing ever - it’s worse than showering in the rain as it’s just a drip that comes out. Would recommend using the bath instead. I half debated about even mentioning it because upon closer inspection, people have for two years and it’s still not been addressed, which makes me think the owners aren’t really bothered as long as it’s being rented, which is a shame as it is such a cosy cottage. The bathroom was also quite dirty when we got there - the bath in particular had quite a few hairs which were not ours on the tiles and paint is peeling off the walls too. We also ran out of toilet roll, which isn’t a problem but usually we would expect extra rolls to be included, just in case. A water filter would also be beneficial because the water was cloudy when coming straight from the tap. The bed was comfortable and the lounge was very cosy with the heater on. This cottage has so much potential, we just feel it needs a little TLC to make it a bit more special. Just a note for light sleepers, the road that runs by the cottage is quite loud, more so from around 6am, but it is in a great location to explore the charms of Cornwall.

Thank you taking the time to send your feedback regarding your stay. We are aware of the issues with the shower and this is in hand and will be dealt with before the next booking. The property is self catering and so limited basics are only supplied. We are disappointed that you did not contact us with regards to any other issues as we could have dealt with these swiftly. Once again thank you for your feedback and we do hope you will book with us again in the future. Sykes owner relations

“Disappointed that the DVD player still didn't work.”

(It didn't work last time we were here in 2018)

“The cottage was comfortable and a in a great position for touring.”

The little close is extremely peaceful. We heard no noise whatsoever the whole time we were there. It was slightly let down by the shower which so many others have commented about: this works at a trickle from off the bath taps. We noted in the visitors book that many had pointed this out. Additionally, there had been several comments about a shower mat for the bath to avoid slips. There wasn't one. Further comments mentioned the lack of washing up liquid, scouring pads for pots and pans and a very ungenerous allowance of toilet paper. The DVD player had been broken for many months if the visitors book is correct. All very minor points and, apart from the shower itself, fairly easy to remedy. But well worth a visit.

Mrs Swinfen August 2020

“Amazing property, central for touring around Shower pressure wasn’t great but we muddled through and a shower mat would be helpful as can be quite slippery in the bath.”

Would definitely rebook this property again for a getaway.

Mrs Lucas August 2020

“Good accommodation in nice grounds.”

Good spot for seeing local resorts. Could do with possibly giving more info on the local attractions and possible eating and drinking establishments but overall very good

Mr Moorby July 2020

“On Saturday when we arrived and opened the door we noticed a feisty smell in the cottage and I noticed at the bottom of the stone walls it was damp when I rang Helen Edwards property manager and told her about this she told me most The cottages in the court yard have damp And to complain to Sykes.”

On Monday I rang Sykes about The damp smell and very little cold water in the bathroom and Within 2 hours it was fix . I am so glade it was warm so we could leave the windows open to get rid of the damp smell. I don’t like leaving feedback but when you book a cottage holiday you should be Able to see these problems on the description

“Despite numerous phone calls and voicemails ,the property manager didn't contact us to arrange key collection etc, we were becoming concerned and had to ring sykes who gave us a code for the key safe.”

However, we were happy overall with the cosy cottage and we enjoyed our stay. Shame about the water pressure, but we coped!!. Could do with a pair of oven mittens !

“Plenty of hot water for a bath but the shower is rubbish and definitely needs sorting out”

- Mr Docherty, September 2019
Miss Smith August 2019

“This little cottage lived up to expectations, providing the base for a most relaxing and enjoyable week.”

Having read previous reviews, I would agree with comments made - the lack of WiFi was a joy and the location very central and easily accessible. There have been many comments previously, about the shower - water pressure is not always easily fixable, but providing a more substantial shower head would be a start. Also, the front door still sticks and there still isn’t a spatula - little things, but worth putting right!

“There is just an odd thing or to that would make the cottage really OK.”

there is no mat supplied for the shower. No washing up pads, these are little things which only cost pence which we forget when we come. We bought some and left them for others.The front door need adjusting, when the sun shines on it, it causes expansion so the door is hard to close. This can be put right with a small spanner to adjust the door, I have the same problem with my front door, only takes a few seconds. The cream tea and a bottle of milk is a very good welcome. The larger TV is a good addition, we don't usually watch TV very much,but with the uncertain weather this year, it was very good. This was our second visit and we will probably go again next year.

Mrs Gardner May 2019

“We had a welcoming cream tea and all the basic essentials i.”

E. tea,coffee, sugar, milk, washing up-liquid, and toilet roll. The cottage was lovely and warm with heating on 24 hours if we needed it. I will go again

Mr Docherty September 2018

“Cottage was clean and cosy lots of positives ie plenty of hot water, warm and clean cream tea and milk nice touch.”

Miss Davies August 2018

“Amazing little cottage.”

Perfectly situated for exploring Cornwall. Property manager was really helpful. Only complaint was the poor shower pressure.

- Miss Davies, August 2018
Miss Field July 2018

“The cottage and location was just perfect for me and my husband We loved it.”

There was only one problem that we had and that was we couldn't get any internet connection on our devices. It would be good if there was wi-fi in the cottage.but other than that it was an amazing place great location to explore Cornwall

- Miss Field, July 2018
Mr Holmes July 2018

“Several things were not right.”

We had to complain about the front door sticking, light bulb and extractor fan in bathroom not working, extremely poor shower, and the fire alarm started going off for no reason. Whilst most of these complaints were dealt with it spoiled our holiday. It would have been helpful if the write up explained how remote the cottage was.

- Mr Holmes, July 2018
Ms Hine June 2018

“On first impression's it looked ok but we where left damp, dirty with on towels, the bed was covered in fluff and pillow cases had black marks on them and the shower was useless mixer taps so no pressure at all i could not wash my hair in it or have a proper shower, which is'nt good when you are in a surfing area and beautiful beaches to visit, the kitchen work top needed wiping down and the toaster was sticky and tea.”

coffee tin's were dirty, so this is basic cleanliness we expect , there was also marks on the carpet and the throw on the sofa needed replacing, from the picture's on the sykes website to the actual cottage things are different and in fact some of the furniture is totally different, the picture's are not there. the lovely inviting picture's on the website don't live up to reality, and this cottage is in a u shape with other's and all the other's have people in there late 60's and 70's so not for the young.

“Needs a better shower.”

Everything else is perfect. Good location.

- Ms Howells, May 2018
Mrs Hawkes April 2018

“The cottage was lovely and in a great location but the shower was just mixer taps which for a cottage near surfing beaches is not really good enough - upgrade the shower and this would be perfect!”

About the location

PERRANPORTH

Newquay 9 miles; Truro 9.5 miles.

Perranporth, a beautiful Cornish coastal town, lies in the heart of Poldark Country, the setting for the novels of Winston Graham who lived in Perranporth in the 1930s. Perranporth offers plenty of traditional pubs and shops, plus a classic bucket-and-spade beach that is lifeguarded in summer, overlooked by craggy rocks and a wonderful coastal path. Once known as the source of the finest tin, the community still retains reminders of the rich heritage with abandoned pump houses, mine shafts and workers’ cottages. The local Blue Hills Museum and Perranzabuloe Folk Museum are both well worth a visit to understand the fascinating history of this coastal area. Further afield are the miles of sandy beaches at Crantock and Holywell Bay, and the breathtaking coastal walks around St Agnes, much of it owned by the National Trust. A perfect holiday base in Cornwall, with an abundance of activities to suit everyone.
