“We had a lovely stay at Gwydhen.”

The apartment was very comfortable, clean and contained everything we needed for our stay. The area is incredibly peaceful and we felt so relaxed - with busy days and quiet nights, we all slept very well. We also felt that all covid-related measures were appropriate and didn't impact on the comfort of our holiday. I'd stress a bit more in your listings that access to Gwydhen and the Port Navas area generally is narrow and tucked away. Trewince Lane in particular was tight and might not be suitable for those with larger/wider vehicles, and it took some time to travel out of the area when going on a day trip. Probably not the property for nervous drivers or those very attached to their car's bodywork! We'd also advise that visitors make sure they've got the provisions they need before they head to the property - once we were 'in' we definitely didn't want to head out again and shops locally aren't in abundance. Another thought was having somewhere at the property to dry out beach equipment. It would be really handy if somewhere at Trewince House could be created (an outhouse, shed or similar) for body boards, beach shoes etc to be placed at night. We kept these things out of Gwydhen but my car did get a bit stinky by the end of the week after storing them in there!

“Advice/Instructions sent out in advance were excellent.”

Accommodation was as expected and well appointed. Can get a bit chilly (largely due to age of building and high ceilings etc?). Only complaint was that someone had left out paper, firelighters and some logs by the open fire.. but no smaller bits of wood/kindling.. making it impossible to actually get a fire going (and we couldn't forage for sticks in the grounds as it was both dark and very wet!)

Ms Dumergue October 2019

“Loved the little touch of the cream tea for us on arrival.”

Place was really clean and tidy and had everything we needed. A cosy retreat to come back to at the end of the day. Would have been good if firewood was provided - we ended up buying our own as there were only two logs on our arrival.

“No, it was as we expected it would be based on the information and photos.”

A great accommodation in a very nice area near to many good places to visit.

“Charming Period Pad”

We stayed here and it’s lovely, a very elegant calm place, a large apartment in a grand house and gardens. Very good layout, big lounge and double bedroom plus two singles. Full kitchen albeit not huge coped with own meal making. The letting agent and owner were both super helpful. Good WiFi too.

“The apartment is really nice to come back to after a day out, clean and very comfortable.”

Its spacious and classy, elegant. The only downsides are that the bathroom is cold and the TV channels were locked with no PIN.

- Mr Morley, September 2018

** Owner response - We are glad you found Gwydhen such a comfortable welcoming place to return to after days out. We resolved the code on the TV as soon as we knew the service provider had implemented this and have now had a new far more efficient large electric towel rail installed in the bathroom to keep future guests toasty warm!

Mrs Palmer September 2018

“Flat was disappointing despite the very nice gesture of all the components for a cream tea on the table.”

The fridge was missing the front part of two glass shelves - and had obviously been switched off for cleaning - but not switched on again so on arrival, water had leaked out onto the kitchen floor. This was just as well as the floor was quite grubby (the floor by the freezer particularly) so the mop was useful on two counts. The decor is generally very tired; blinds in the kitchen and bathroom repeatedly failed (we appreciated the available step ladder to fix them each time), the curtains in the lounge had broken hooks so one curtain had a significant 'flap', the cold tap in the bathroom swivelled as it was turned off and on and the general cleaning was pretty poor.

- Mrs Palmer, September 2018

** Owner response - We have replaced all the window coverings with new custom made thermally lined roman blinds, redecorated, installed a new fridge, dishwasher and microwave, updated the bathroom and we are very pleased with our new housekeeper and would love to welcome you back in 2019 Sykes owner relations
Mr Wimberley May 2018

“When we arrived at the property we were rather disappointed to see building work & materials at entrance, & an old car that had obviously been there quite awhile taking up space in the small parking area.”

The garden area consisted of some beautiful trees & shrubs, but apart from the lawn area in front of the house which was kept cut the rest was rather overgrown , including the Japanese garden. The apartment was spacious, well equipped & comfortable, but looking rather tired, & could do with some attention, including the lounge carpet. The beautiful Cornish country side more than made up for any shortfall in the apartment.

- Mr Wimberley, May 2018

** Owner response - we love the gardens and glad you appreciated them,thankfully the neighbouring property has now completed their building work. Sykes owner relations
Mrs Fawcett May 2018

“We enjoyed our holiday and the apartment was as described - light & airy in beautiful grounds.”

If you are a couple and only using the main bedroom, you would be fine but, if you need to use the 2nd bedroom, the noise from the children in the next door apartment will wake you up - at around 6.30am every morning! They are very pleasant, happy children but you will be aware of them.

- Mrs Fawcett, May 2018

** Owner response - it is always difficult to anticipate who may occupy an adjoining apartment, however we are delighted that the new neighbour also enjoys peace and tranquility which will make it more comfortable for both bedrooms to be used without disturbance. Sykes owner relations
Ms Deegan March 2018

“Apartment was well appointed clean well equipped and comfortable.”

Welcome gifts were a lovely touch. Beautiful gardens in a quiet setting. The local os maps of footpaths were useful, as not all clearly marked en route. Good walking and picturesque countryside. Worth a trip if you need a rural get away from it all holiday.

- Ms Deegan, March 2018

About the location

CONSTANTINE

Falmouth 9 miles; Truro 14 miles.

A charmingly picturesque country village with a few shops, a pub and a lovely church, set among green rolling meadows and wooded valleys leading down to the beautiful Helford river, just 3 miles away. Famous for its mild climate, this quieter part of Cornwall has the outstanding gardens of Trebah, Penjerrick, Glendurgan and Carwinion all within 4 miles. For nature lovers and those who enjoy boats, the misty reaches of the Helford river meander upstream to Gweek, where the world renowned Seal Sanctuary looks after the region’s many abandoned and injured seals. Falmouth, with its narrow streets, natural harbour and National Maritime Museum is just 20 minutes by car, while Flambards theme park (8 miles) and Argal Lake with its water sports attractions make great days out. The nearby beautiful Lizard Peninsula, with its outstanding beaches and quaint fishing villages dotting the rocky coastline, has the benefit of outstanding scenery, tranquillity and some great walks.
