  • "I had a fantastic time at Toadstools."

    It was perfectly situated for my walking in the South Coast path around Falmouth and the Lizard. Toadstools was very well described and I didn’t want for anything- with the exception of a vacuum for cleaning at the end of the stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable and I slept really well. The shower was lovely and hot. I lit a fire on a couple of evenings in the log burner, how cosy. The owner was very friendly and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend Toadstools.

  • "A quant cottage, perfectly situated for exploring Cornwall."

    Quiet, and peaceful. Just what we needed to get away from it all. The cottage was clean and well equipped. However, the sofa was low for us but not a massive problem. The courtyard was fully enclosed, and private, which was piece of mind when letting our little dog out. It was nice to sit out when the weather allowed. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay again.

  • "Super property."

    Very clean. Exactly what we expected. Lovely little area outside which was not over looked. Flowers and biscuits on arrival. Set in a lovely spot. Great walks from the cottage. Stithans reservoir walk was good. Nice cafe there, where we sat and enjoyed the views. Will definitely return. Thank you.

  • "Lovely property although very cold due to the thick stone walls and I felt guilty having the heaters on as the electric was used up quickly."

    Having the log burner was great but that only warms the living area. The owners were lovely and very helpful when the property key was locked inside my car.

  • "Where to start?"

    Totally basic. We use Sykes cottages 3 to 4 times a year, never before have we had to buy salt and pepper!!! Unfortunately, the cooker broke down, (spent breakfast time at the Carnon Inn) - sorted by the owners lovely Mum. The cottage was cold and damp. No cooking facilities eg casserole dishes mixing bowls, kitchen roll, foil, pan scrubs etc, fortunately our family, who live locally, were able to provide hot food. The cottage was clean.

    We are sorry that Toadstools did not reach your expectations. We strive to provide a warm, cosy, rural cottage within a reasonable price range. Usually the log burner and electric heaters (with windows closed as advised) are more than sufficient. We can certainly provide salt and pepper for future guests and a casserole dish/mixing bowl , there were pan scrubbers in the kitchen but obviously they were not located. We received your text regarding the cooker on the Wednesday morning and as we were out of the country arranged for it to be disconnected, replaced with a brand new cooker connected by early evening the following day with communication to you by a family member living at our property. Again, we apologise that Toadstools did not meet your expectations. Property Owner

  • "Lovely LITTLE place to stay but felt very isolated everywhere where was a car drive away unless you fancied taking the risk of playing chicken on the busy little lane!"

    The facilities are on the small side and being of a large build wasn’t ideal. The local area/beaches are all a 10 minute drive away and unfortunately are not dog friendly summer months.

  • "We loved it, and so did our Spinone; especially the enclosed garden."

    We were lucky with the weather; but if it had been wet and muddy, keeping the carpets clean and dry could have been challenging; especially without a hoover. The log fire was really appreciated in the evenings.

  • "Toadstools - Perfect for Two Beautifully presented in a lovely peaceful location."

    Everything was spotlessly clean and tidy. There was a nice welcome pack of shortbread, tea and milk. The bed was super comfy and there is everything you need here for two. The log burner made it so cosy and was very welcome after spending the days walking in November. The outside area is neat and tidy with secure fencing and gate so your pooch can mooch about safely. The hosts were great - attentive and helpful and just a stone’s throw away if needed.

  • "This is a comfortable little cottage for 2 people."

    We used it as a base for the week to walk a section of the South West Coast Path. It is clean and fresh and seems newly decorated.The kitchen is small but was perfectly adequate for our needs. The lounge is comfortable and cosy and we really enjoyed coming home in the evening and snuggling in front of the wood burning fire. The double bed is comfortable. The cottage is in a quiet location but only a few miles from Falmouth and the coast. It is a good base to explore the Lizard peninsular and this southern most tip of Cornwall.

    Cottage was well-equipped, including plenty of towels. A recently improved outdoor area really made a difference to the appearance - though a pity we couldn't take full advantage of the new gazebo area for our short stay due to the bitter April winds! A log-burner and comfortable bed helped us through the chilly nights. Friendly owners - and very talented with all their building and carpentry!

  • "Our trip was a much anticipated and way overdue visit to see our son - lockdown and been so long and we had had to postpone 3 trips during 2020."

    Toadstools was the perfect location. Very clean, tidy and comfortable with thoughtful gestures such as just enough milk in the fridge for that all important first cup of tea after a long journey! We were warmly greeted by the hosts - it was late when we arrived and although the directions were good the signage on the roadside was not totally clear. We would definitely recommend this accommodation and hope to return, making more use of the delightful garden area next time.

    It wasn’t without foundation as we left it as we found it. It was a little isolated, however,it was central to everything in Cornwall, I couldn’t get over the total ‘blackness’ it was so dark you couldn’t see a hand in front of you! I throughly recommend this rental, you will love it!
