Mr Beard
October 2020

“Thanks to Sue and Steve, our stay was wanting for nothing.”

It was clean and tidy and never a problem for our hosts to help if needed. The new bed was comfortable and the location devine next to the greatest beach in the world Porthcurno. The minack theatre mind blowing and the communication museum a must. Tater-du is s well kept secret. I’m definitely coming back... brilliant.

“My complaint is not with Sykes, but with the quality of the accommodation.”

The apartment offers little more space than a caravan. The bed and couch are obviously very old and astonishingly uncomfortable. The shower is adequate, but the rest of the bathroom appliances are poor. The kitchen is serviceable, but no better. The free to air television package is very limited, certainly not a patch on Freeview. Why? Cheaper? Visitors should also be aware that mobile phone reception in the valley is almost non-existent.

- Mr Hancock, October 2020

Thank you for taking the time to send us your comments. I am sorry you felt that the apartment was smaller than expected, we feel that the photographs show the layout and the property is marketed correctly in terms of space. The property is in a stunning location, tucked away in a valley in one of the most picturesque parts of Cornwall and thus mobile signal can be a problem. The property offers wifi. We take on board all feedback and as such the bed and sofa are being replaced this week. Once again, thank you for your feedback. Sykes owner relations

“A few small things we would like to mention.”

The accommodation is on a very busy road if you are aware of this it would be more helpful, the side of the bed next to the window is very lumpy and uncomfortable but a change of mattress would fix that and it is not possible to open the bedroom window very far as the blind stops this.

- Mrs Moody, September 2020
Mrs Franek August 2020

“Very comfortable, clean in an excellent location.”

It would have been even better if the apartment had the following items: Umbrella for the patio table on the balcony Small Pyrex dishes for use in the microwave Bath sheets (larger size) New bed mattress

Mr Witham July 2020

“The accommodation exceeded our expectations, great value for money.”

The fresh flowers and biscuits, a nice touch.Perhaps a more comfy settee ? But ok.A great location for the beach and The Minack Theatre.Would be looking to book again later in the year.

Mr Bedford September 2019

“The flat was very well equipped for cooking.”

Given how tiny it is it feels spacious and is very comfortable. Very convenient for the beach and lovely coastal walks. Minack Theatre also within waling distance.

- Mr Bedford, September 2019
Mrs Vickers August 2019

“Very surprised to find there was no visitors book.”

No oven gloves available so we bought some and left them behind. Could do with some standard sized drinking glasses otherwise well equipped property. Shower room very small but functional. Location ideal for walking down to Porthcurno beach. Pub nearby very welcoming staff.

Mr Babinszki May 2019

“The village is very nice and quiet.”

Your apartment very comfortable for two persons. Your apartment close to places what we chosen to see. We spent 5 nights here and we enjoyed our staying. We would like to go back in the future.

Mr Ashton September 2018

“Very nice to have a carton of milk in the fridge & some lovely roses, this attention to detail does make a difference.”

Out of interest the towel rail in the bathroom remains detached from its location on the wall, as it did last year, I fixed it myself last year & this year as best I could, but it really needs to be re-mounted properly in the wall. Also, there is no fridge light, I did look for a spare bulb in the kitchen drawers but could not find one, it would be nice if this could be remedied. I shall most probably rebook again for next year as we do like the apartment & the balcony looks so much better with a coat of paint & the glass infills.

Mrs Hinchcliffe September 2018

“We arrived at the property just to see the owner leaving having said they had just cleaned it.”

The place was dirty.the food hadn't been swept which I had to do.the post were dirty as was the soap dish in the bathroom was,there was grime on the shower fixings that held it to the wall and the bed was very uncomfortable,lumpy and needs replacing, the sofa too was well used too,no support.I spent 7 nights sleeping on the floor as it was the better option compared to the bed. The patio table was full of black dog hairs and hadn't even been wiped. This booking cost me almost a month's wages and was very,very disappointed.would not return again!

Mrs Martin September 2018

“Tater du is perfect for a complete break from reality.”

It offers wonderfully clean well presented accommodation with lots of extras ( the vase of fresh white roses and box of luxury biscuits were a really nice touch ). Porthcurno is the most beautiful cove we have been to in Cornwall and photos can easily be mistaken for somewhere abroad. Thank you for the wonderful memories. Anne & Bill Martin & Roxy the dog

Mr Norris August 2018

“Photo of the holiday let not very accurate road right next to it hardly room to get car clear of road when parked .”

No shops for 10miles.stairs painted white gloss when wet slippery.rugs on tiles slip hazard.settee worn out .requires replacing...bed that uncomfortable we only stayed one night and came home very unhappy with it waste of money.

- Mr Norris, August 2018
Mr Silver June 2018

“Excellent in every aspect; everything was made so easy in terms of checkout and check-in.”

The facilities were great, we look forward to booking again!

Mrs Allen December 2017

“The flat was adequate as a base .”

Very small . The two seater settee had seen better days and so had the bed . Both very uncomfortable. Dish washer wasn't working. Only one toilet roll .We didn't feel we'd got value for money especially as it was December.

- Mrs Allen, December 2017
